That does help, thanks. I'm still trying to decide if I should base my reservation request on the decade that most appeals to me & my sister, or on the one that's closest to the food court...hmmm.

I might just have to buy a Passporter, come to think of it, if they don't put any maps online soon! :D

The previous posts refers to the Classic years side which is set to open first I believe. Across the lake is the Legendary years and the best building (closest to everything) is 1920's all buildings #4 and #5, 1930's buildings #6 and #10, 1910's building #1 & #3. All of the 1940 are WAY out there and so is building #2 labeled the 00's.

Holy cow, there's gonna be a lot of buildings, huh? Is this resort bigger than the standard All-Star? It seems like there's more, but maybe I'm just overwhelmed by all the information.

The brand new Passporter comes out in January but the 2003 one is available now. The maps are awesome. With having your sister, having one clsoe to the food court and main building may be helpful.

It is bigger than the other All Stars. The resort will have 5,760 rooms, 20 four story buildings, 6 pools and 8 courtyards.

Yeah, I think you're right. When I'm traveling with friends it doesn't usually matter because we don't mind walking. But I can see my sister getting tired from days in the parks, and having a room close to the main building would be really helpful.

Thanks again for all your help, Dana! You've been awesome!

There are 5,760 guest rooms....2,880 in both the Classic and Legendary years. It looks like the size of two All Stars put together. The All Stars only have 1,920 in each resort but have 5,760 with all three put together. It sounds to me that PC is HUGE and a close room would definately be in order for me when I stay there. :laugh :laugh :laugh

GOODNESS, I had no idea. That's BIG!!!

Just exploring the resort could be a whole day's activity! :laugh

So essentially, it's the size of the All-Stars put together. HOLY SMOKES, that's huge!!!! :dazed

Talking about it makes me more excited about it opening. Can't wait. We are there the first two nights, really pumped about it. Will look at it next weekend when we are there again.

dznygrl · 09-30-2003

Ooh, so you're staying right at opening? That's so exciting! Have a great time!!! That is certainly something you will remember and feel proud of..."we stayed there on the first night it opened..." :love:

Yeah, can't wait. Hope to see many of you there! If anyone is staying there the first days it would be fun just to bump into you and say hi. Will be spending a good amount of time exploring the place and taking pictures. :)

**Dana** · 09-30-2003

Take many pictures John so we can all see. I'm hoping to pop by over there on my Jan/Feb trip but dont know if I'll get the chance.

09-30-2003

Here is a cool view and you can see the foot prints where they continue to build. We did not take this, we took other views as we flew over the place two months ago. Will have to fly over again this time to get some better pictures. This pic gives a good idea of the lay out.
