Hi there Jason!
Thank you so much for stopping by with such great questions!
To answer your first question, you are not able to pool hop from Disney's Pop Century Resort to Disney's Art of Animation Resort. While the Big Blue Pool at Disney's Art of Animation Resort does have an amazing theme, I also find that it tends to be a bit more crowded than the Hippy Dippy Pool at Disney's Pop Century Resort.
By staying at either resort, you can take advantage of the fabulous
Disney Skyliner, whisking you away to Disney's Hollywood Studios and EPCOT in record time.
At the moment, the arcades are not open in the resorts, although this may change before you arrive. Before you head out, check the
Disney Resort Hotels: Know Before You Go section of the Walt Disney World Resort website for any changes.
For me personally, the
Memory Maker is absolutely worth it. Even with face coverings on, I still want to capture those magical moments with my loved ones. And you will not believe the reactions that you see when you view your photos and videos from attractions like
Slinky Dog Dash or
Seven Dwarfs Mine Train.
Jason, at this moment Walt Disney World Resort is not releasing their plan to increase theme park capacity. What I can tell you is that capacity will still be limited through the use of the
Disney Park Pass system. You are able to make your reservations through January of 2023, so if you are planning a vacation anytime soon, I would go ahead and make sure you get yours before they sell out.
I hope that this answered all of your questions, Jason. We here at planDisney are always available to answer any questions that you may have to make your vacation practically perfect in every way. So stop back by and see us!
See you real soon!
