The Pop Century Resort is located by Epcot, Hollywood Studios, and the ESPN Wide World of Sports area.
The Pop Century is a value resort. It has 10 brightly colored 4 story buildings decorated with larger than life Pop Culture icons. There are different sections dedicated to certain eras in time, 1950’s, 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s. The main lobby is in Classic Hall which also houses The Everything Pop and Shop food court and gift shop and The Fast Forward arcade. There are 3 pools, The Hippy Dippy Pool, The smaller bowling pin shaped Bowling Pool, and the monitor shaped Computer Pool. You can also choose to have a prefered room. A preferred room just means that you are closer to Classic Hall and you would also be closer to the bus transportation. Handicapped accessible rooms are available upon request. One more thing that may be important to you, especially if you have back problems, is they have Pillowtop mattresses.
The Pop Century is the best value resort in our opinion. It has a great theme, some of which will bring back memories I am sure. If you are looking for a great Disney room, but you are on a tight budget I would recommend The Pop Century. While you are there make sure to take a walk around the resort and bring your camera.
After you check in be sure to take a walk down by the back wall and you will see some of your favorite toys from when you were growing up.
Chip’s Tip: The Pop Century has 2 big selling points, one is the price and two is that they have a dedicated bus service. Meaning that you do not share a bus with any other resort, unlike the All Star Resorts which all share one bus.
Overall, we give Pop Century Resort an ” A-“.
Even if you aren’t on a tight budget, Pop Century is still a great choice. Mom and I did a split stay last time between Pop Century and French Quarter and this time although I could have chosen a moderate or deluxe, I booked my 11 night stay at Pop Century. I’m using the savings on lots of signature dining, dinner shows, AND I’m dining at Cinderella’s Royal Table too for the first time! Plus I loved the bed at Pop and thought the mattress was much more comfortable than we had at Port Orleans French Quarter. We stayed in the 50’s area and I am going to ask for it again.
We stayed here and loved it. The pool and food court were awesome. Would definitely stay here again.
We stay at Pop everytime we go! Love it!
We stayed in April and so far my favorite! We have stayed at the all stars and carribean beach before, but must say like Pop the best!
I think I’ve decided we will stay at Pop Century for our first WDW stay. I think my 2 year old would love it!
We will be staying at the Pop Century in Sept for the first time. I am excited to experience the hotel!
we have stayed at pop twice with an upcoming trip in September at pop. we love pop for the value well worth it great resort
We loved our stay at Pop Century!
This was the best resort we have stayed at when we went to Disney World. Me and my family stayed in the 70’s rooms but walked around the whole hotel, it was awesome.
