Great hotel. Stayed for 5 days & 4 nights and it was perfect. The dining hall was great. Lots of options & prices were fair. I was freezing the first night & called front desk to ask for extra blankets -- they were friendly & very generous. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The hotel is adorable & the pool area so fun.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There was a lifeguard & she made her rounds plenty.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I wish I took more photos. read more

Great experience at POP resort! The food court is large with some interesting foods that other goid courts don't have like the tie dye cheesecake, cookie butter crossaint and the gouda burger and cojita fries! I tried all three and they were great. The resort is on the skyline which is a plus and they also have the bus transportation. We stayed in bldg 6 which is a 3 min walk to skyliner and a 3 min walk to the lobby and food court. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The hippy dippy pool is large and is close to the petals pool bar, laundry and restroom building.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The front desk staff were extremely nice and the luggage was delivered right to our room from a split stay at All Star Music! read more

Currently staying here, so may update my review. I have been before, but it's been a few years and I'm surprised I never did a review. Pop is technically considered a "value," resort (WDW's cheapest category); however, since the addition of the Skyliner both Pop and its sister resort, Art of Animation, demand a more premium price. Having direct access to the Skyliner is nice, and part of why I picked to stay here because I plan to spend a lot of time at Epcot this trip. Pop is a larger resort, so you might find yourself doing a lot of walking between building (that may or may not be an issue). [[HIGHLIGHT]]The theming is lots of fun, so I give Disney that. Larger-than-life bowling pins and foosball players is pretty fun.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The cafeteria on site is fine-nothing notable about it but it gets the job done. It can get crowded during busy times, and of course you're paying a premium by being on property. But it is a great option for a quick bite (or longer meal). Service, as always, has been fantastic. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It is a 'loud' resort, though, at least in my experience. I'm tucked away on the far side of a building, and was happy about that thinking it would be quieter. I guess outside is pretty quiet, but trying to fall asleep last night I heard several door slamming, toilets flushing, and someone walking around in the room above me.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

My family and I really enjoyed our stay at the Disney's Pop Century resort during the Holidays in December. We ended up staying for 6 days, 5 nights at the Pop Century. Our arrival time was a little bit later in the evening, around 12:00 A.M the next day, but there was plenty of team members still at the check-in to check us into the hotel! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Since it was the Holidays, the hotel had a huge holiday tree in the middle of the main entrance next to the Everything Pop Century Store and the arcade![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There was also nightly cookies available with fresh hot cider! [[HIGHLIGHT]]On Christmas Eve, the team came out and danced to the Holiday music! It was so cool to experience the Holidays at Pop Century![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My family and I ate dinner several times at the POP Food Court. It was so convenient! We would place a mobile order to-go and then pick-up our order at the register when it was ready. Most of the food items are $14.99 and under! The POP dining is also open for Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner. The current hours are from 7:00 A.M to 11:00 P.M, but you'll want to confirm in the Disney World Mobile application if the hours change. The entrance for this is right next to the hotel check-in and main entrance for Pop Century. There are plenty of items in the shopping store too from apparel, toys, and gifts! It's a quick service establishment. A lot of the dinner entrees include chicken dishes, burgers, chicken sandwiches, hot dogs, pasta, pizza, sandwiches, desserts and so much more! A few evenings we ended up getting burgers, French fries, spaghetti and meatballs, and even chicken tenders! We had a preferred room near the hotel entrance and the Disney Skyliner, though one of the days, the Skyliner wasn't functioning. Luckily, we had rented a car from the Orlando International Airport and was able to drive to the theme parks instead. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The hotel room was perfect for us. We transformed the table to a bed, and had 2 beds available in the room. There was a TV, refrigerator, safe, and a few other items in the bedroom![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The bathroom was a little small, but it was fully stocked with all of the required items.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Room service was provided as well! [[HIGHLIGHT]]At the hotel, there were multiple pools. We ended up going to the pool that was closest to our hotel room near the bowling pin area. The pool was relatively empty since it was cold outside, around 60, but the pool itself was heated![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall, we had a great experience at Pop Century. We did like having the quick service dining option available, especially after the long days at the Theme Park! We didn't spend too much time in the hotel room except for the evening hours! read more

Pop Century is one of the cheapest resorts at WDW. That, and the fact that the only other WDW resort I've stayed at is the Polynesian, should be taken into account with my review. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The rooms are super small. I have four people in my family so we had to pull down the Murphy bed, which made it even smaller. There was barely enough room to walk around, and we had to find all kinds of places to put our luggage.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The bathroom isn't bad, but not great. It's pretty tight as well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The resort is HUGE. There is so much walking to do and no help with getting from one place to another. So if you want to walk to get a drink or bite to eat at night, the main building takes a good 5-10 minutes to walk to.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The resort does have easy access to the Skyliner, and a great food court and gift shop. There's also an arcade in the main hall as well. [[HIGHLIGHT]]My kids were seriously disappointed by the pools and decided completely against having a pool day while we were there. The pools are kind of plain (especially the one by the 80s buildings where we were).[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's not a bad hotel, but it wasn't up to the Disney quality that I'm used to. I prefer all 3 Disneyland hotels, even the budget Pixar Place hotel, to this one. read more

Our family just wrapped up another stay at Disney's Pop Century Resort, which has been one of our go-to Disney hotels over the years! While there's always a lot we love about staying here, we did run into a few hiccups this visit. Starting with the positives, [[HIGHLIGHT]]the resort's retro theming is as fun and vibrant as ever. The bright, colorful buildings--complete with giant Rubik's cubes, yo-yo staircases, and other nostalgic touches--really make the atmosphere special.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The pool area was also fantastic, and we loved participating in the poolside activities like music movie trivia. Watching Moana 2 under the stars on a blow-up movie screen was a highlight of our stay![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We also made time for marshmallow roasting near Surfer Goofy and his car, which was such a simple but magical moment. They offer free marshmallows and roasting sticks, or you can purchase a s'mores kit for a bigger treat[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. And can we just talk about the adobo chicken nachos? Those were a total win! That said, this visit wasn't without a few bumps. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Our room, while clean, had some missed details like stray hairs and dust in corners that made us pause.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Noise levels have also been noticeably higher the last few stays, and this time in the Sixties Building, it felt like the walls were paper-thin. We could hear everything from neighbors' conversations to toilets flushing and footsteps above, which made it harder to relax, especially at night.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This has been a recurring issue for us over the past few stays, so it might be worth noting if you're someone who's sensitive to noise. Another issue we noticed was the sheer number of housekeeping carts. It felt like no matter where we turned or what time it was (obviously I'm not complaining about times they're actively cleaning a room) within the buildings, there was almost always a cart in the way. For the price of Pop Century, even as a value resort, that felt a bit frustrating. The food court, while offering some delicious options like the nachos, felt poorly managed this time--lines were long even during off-peak hours, and there were moments where cast members seemed to overlook waiting guests. After about two days, the menu started to feel repetitive, so we'd recommend planning for meals at other spots around Disney property to keep things fresh. ‍ [[HIGHLIGHT]]One other thing to note was the poolside games. While the cast members really gave it their all, many of the activities were on hot pavement, which made it uncomfortable for everyone.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] More water-based games would've helped, but we did appreciate the effort to keep things festive despite the heat. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall, Pop Century continues to offer a fun, more budget-friendly way to stay at Disney...especially with its bold theming, enjoyable pools, and great location with Skyliner access.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]But for us, some of the magic was dulled by the noise levels and a few service hiccups. Not sure we'll be staying here for awhile.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Disney's Pop Century Resort - A Groovy Throwback Stay! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Pop Century is the resort that pops with energy, nostalgia, and convenience! This Value Resort celebrates the unforgettable decades from the 1950s to the 1990s, with larger-than-life icons, bright colors, and a vibe that's just plain fun.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] THEMING If you grew up loving roller skates, Rubik's cubes, yo-yos, or even floppy disks (yep, those too), this place is your time-traveling dream. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Each decade has its own section with towering pop culture icons and fun photo ops. It's not character-heavy like Art of Animation, but it celebrates the best of American pop history. Think jukebox meets Disney magic.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] ROOMS [[HIGHLIGHT]]Rooms were recently refurbished and are now super clean, crisp, and efficient. Disney swapped out carpet for wood floors, added elevated beds (hello, under-bed storage!), and included a pull-down Murphy bed that doubles as a table.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's minimal but smart -- especially for those who prioritize park time over downtime. SKYLINER ACCESS [[HIGHLIGHT]]One of Pop's biggest selling points? The Skyliner! Shared with Art of Animation, this breezy gondola ride gets you to Epcot or Hollywood Studios in no time. And it's a fun ride in and of itself -- especially with that view over Hourglass Lake.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] DINING The Everything POP Food Court is classic Disney quick service -- burgers, pizza, tie-dye cheesecake (yes, that's a thing), and even a solid fried chicken dinner. It's convenient, well-stocked, and mobile order-friendly through the My Disney Experience app. Pro tip: refillable mugs are a must for soda and coffee lovers. SHOPPING The attached gift shop has a great mix of resort-exclusive merch, park essentials, and those last-minute items you forgot to pack. Very convenient for stocking up before or after your park day. VIBE & VALUE [[HIGHLIGHT]]Pop Century is a little more budget-friendly than Art of Animation and feels a little more laid-back. It's not as heavily themed around Disney movies, so it might not wow very young kids the same way, but for adults, teens, or families who appreciate some retro flair -- it's a total win.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Plus, it's right across the lake from AoA, so you can walk over and enjoy some of their theming too. Heads up: Like other resorts, Disney has tightened up who can explore these properties. If you're not staying here, you'll want a dining reservation or mobile order pickup to check it out -- otherwise, they may not let you park or roam freely. In short: Pop Century is all about value, location, and a healthy dose of nostalgia. If your vacation plan is "hit the parks hard and chill at the pool later," Pop checks every box. Plus, you can hum "Pop Goes the World" as your theme song for the week. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]This is my fave Disney Hotel! It's super fun to the eye![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The pools are great for the kids.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's a quick bus ride/skyliner to the parks. The staff is forever friendly and goes above and beyond to get you what you need! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The room uses the space sooooo well our room was cutesy small but spacious in that there's plenty shelving for all you truly need.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's space under the bed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The table bed is 10/10 comfy and cute![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Stay here you won't regret it ! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Corny decor and tiny rooms.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I thought that was just going to be the worst of it however [[HIGHLIGHT]]I just woke up from the worst night sleep in my life.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The walls are paper thin, we can hear everything our neighbors said all night like they were in the room with us.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Thank God we were on the top floor I couldn't imagine having to hear feet walking all night.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would never stay here again. Give me an actual hotel last time we came we stayed at the Waldorf Astoria. I regret not going back. read more

100% would recommend. The staff are super friendly. When we arrived at POP, the staff were helping to us when we lost our luggage since it was being transferred from port orleans riverside resort. They found it for us! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The room was very nice, clean sheets and pillowcases, along with a clean bathroom.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The dining here is very nice, with the chicken strips and pizza being amazing. I certainly reccomend staying here if you want to save money for an all around good experience at a low price. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I only have one issue, which is how thin the walls are. I have a video of you hearing them next door.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Luckily this was the only night they were staying here so that was good. Overall, I recommend POP Century resort. read more

this was our first time staying a pop century and i would absolutely return again! [[HIGHLIGHT]]yes, the property is a budget option but it is so much fun at every corner of the resort with giant character displays- what's not to love about it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]the room was clean and provided everything we needed- a mini fridge, plenty of storage, and i love the attention to detail that went into the design of the hotel room space that even the bathroom sink is extended.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]we were assigned a room that overlooked mickey telephone and we couldn't be happier waking up to that view everyday :)[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]only complaints- our bed was a squeaker, not sure if it's the mattress or the bed stand.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] there is only 1 restaurant on site that serves quick service food with a lot of beverage station. if not, you have to opt for the pool bar. wished there were better dining options. skyliner to epcot and hollywood studios was awesome, we much prefer the skyliner over the busses, but there were plenty making rounds for magic kingdom and had much shorter line when waiting leaving the parks after the fireworks. [[HIGHLIGHT]]overall, solid 4.5- even after 6 years post room refurbishment the condition are still looking great![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

My first time staying at a Disney hotel and it far exceeded expectations! With the "value" label, I was expecting a run-down motel but this was far from that. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Everything was incredibly clean, lots of "wow" factor from all the fun decor, and the staff was so friendly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It was so fun exploring the hotel decor. We didn't participate in the free activities since we had a short trip, but love that they have those! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The rooms are designed very efficiently to maximize space for accommodating more guests in a room if needed (there's tons of shelving in the bathroom and a pull-down Murphy bed).[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]My only feedback is it would be nice to have some healthier breakfast options and the walls in the rooms are a bit on the thinner side.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] But otherwise, would definitely stay again! read more

The water was absolutely gross all day today. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Rooms are tiny, they did not give us our requested connecting rooms[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], no one was there at bell services to give us our groceries, [[HIGHLIGHT]]these resorts are starting to be ran like a common comfort inn.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We've stayed here many times before but I assure you this will be the last. Value simply isn't there vs staying off property. Unacceptable. read more

The Pop Century Resort at Disney. I recently stayed here for 6 days with my family of 4. The room itself was just enough for my family. My wife and I stayed on one bed, and my daughter and son shared the pull down bed. The room was pretty small. You basically just have enough space to maneuver around the beds, and into the bathroom. Positives: The resort feels like a getaway. Alot of oversized decorations throughout the resort, and large bright signage. Palm trees everywhere, and it didn't come off cheesy because it's Disney. There are 3 pools at the resort, so no matter where you stay you'll be near one of the pools. I didn't go to any others but the one near the 60's building outside of the food court, but I saw them in passing. The one I went to had a concession stand and sold alcoholic beverages (overpriced). There is a area inside the main entrance to shop for souveniers (In a pinch it sells liquor, but its about 15-22 for a pint). There is also a cafeteria where you can mobile order meals (drinks sold separately), but the food is really just something to fill your stomach. The selections are pretty slim, and you'd pay around the same, and eat way better if you uber eat, and pick it up out front. (I got Chronic Tacos and they were BUSSIN, but I don't even really talk like that forreal). I used a lot of Yelp trying to avoid the food here, only thing I can say I kind of enjoyed was the bacon and egg bagels, but the fries, and home fries were always over cooked. Almost came off with the consistency of being reheated. However the positive is that its an option I guess, even though I just kind of went in on it, when i'm supposed to be giving positives...lol They also have an arcade for the kids to hang out at which was cool, 25 bucks gets you a good amount of play time, and there were quite a few games, though some didn't function and I probably lost abut 4 bucks to games that didn't work, but still took the money... but they have an arcade... It's also not to far from the sky liners, which take you to epcot and hollywood studios. Negatives: Small rooms. They don't want you bringing any outside food that needs refrigeration, or to be heated up. The food at the cafeteria is over priced, and average. My biggest gripe with this place was that when we first arrived, a gentlemen collected out bags and said they would be placed in our room when it was time for our check in. That way when we got to the room after coming from the parks luggage would have already arrived in the room, but nope! Then when we called down stairs, they told us it would be a 45 minute wait. So we go downstairs to get our stuff, and magically one of the workers is all of a sudden to push our stuff up, and waits in the doorway for a tip as if he did us a favor, when we had already tipped the guy earlier who never brought our belongings upstairs. I gave this place a 3 because if you're like my family we woke up early and spend all day at the park, so we really only came back to sleep, but if you're looking for some type of comfort, then this might not be the place. Unless your good with just sitting on the beds and hanging out. I feel as if this will be the only year we would be able to do Pop Century because with our kids getting bigger. I feel as if we'll need more space going forward. I was already hearing the complaints of how cramped the room was from the kids, but we made due. Probably a good spot for a young couple to come, more space because they wouldn't need the second bed to come down. Overall it was okay... read more

Several pros and cons to this "value" property on the Disney grounds. From the outside this place is amazing . The theme of the decades is awesome and lots of photo worthy statues and 3 inviting pools for you to cool down in . The customer service was fun and chipper, like you would expect a Disney resort to be . My bed (even though it came out of the wall) was very comfy . They also gave us cool luggage tags and some discount coupons. Transportation to the parks via bus or Skyliner was fairly easy to navigate. Now the cons. Our room had very little space to move around in our room . Our door had difficulty opening up with our magic band or key , and would close super slowly. It was like the door was getting stuck on something or needed to be lubricated . Very frustrating for our first couple of nights there until we got used to it. The food isn't the greatest, kind of tasted like campus or school lunch food . Lastly, our room was barely serviced during our stay, even though it was requested . On day 3 they came in to collect towels and replace 3 extra ones and emptied garbages, but that's it . Would I stay there again? Probably not . It was still expensive and for the price point we would need more space. I would probably splurge and reserve a property more adult oriented with better food options. But I wasn't completely unsatisfied and did get a good night's sleep , so it could have been worse. read more

One of several value resorts that Disney offers, Pop Century is a nice, affordable stay for your Disney vacation. I particularly enjoy the theming here - there is some Disney flair mixed in with the decades in larger-than-life fashion. The rooms are likely small for a family of 4, but the price point may be right to help make the vacation more affordable. It was a perfect size for me and my friend - we were each able to have our own bed. The grounds have a couple of pools for guest use, a large cafeteria-style eating area, and a merchandise shop that has many of the same souvenirs you can get in the parks. Depending on your room assignment, you could have a decent hike to the bus area for getting to the parks/Disney Springs. All in all, if you are looking for an affordable route that still offers Disney pizzazz, this is a good option for you! If you plan to spend a lot of time in the room/enjoying the resort grounds, perhaps you will want to look at other options that have more. read more

People that stay there stole my laundry dryer time and put my wet clothes into other dryers. Front desk tells me no cameras monitor the laundry and pop t to vendor when we damn well know Disney is responsible for what they allow on their property and they have their own employees clean the floors on there. The same issue happened to me T the Movie Resort / someone tossed my wet clothes onto laundry basket and stole my dryer time. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Also, cigarette smoke fills the air in these places.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

First of all, everyone here was unusually rude. After waiting for 4 hours for the room to be ready, (didn't get in til after check in time) I asked someone about the single bed in my room when I booked two beds..this guy kindly offered to show me and walked me back to my room. He made an odd comment when I mentioned no way was I going to share a bed with my cousin, and said, "oh you don't like to sleep with people? Just them or are guys ok?" What..? We got to the room and he slowly and condescendingly moved the tables and chairs, pulled down the Murphy bed, while maintaining eye contact. I admitted I had no idea and thanked him for helping me, and mentioned he could have just told me to save him trouble, then he said with some people they don't understand simple things and you just have to show them. Okay...? Super odd encounter. Another thing, the shower was moldy! Shows they aren't cleaning during a pandemic. We ended up cleaning the entire tub ourselves. Big pass for next time read more

It's a value resort. There's a food court, multiple pools and the grounds seem clean. The room was small but we only slept in the room, we never spent a lot of time hanging out there. The staff seems nice and housekeeping is always at our tower. Every night we had fresh towels. We stayed in the 90s tower, it's a bit of a walk from the front of the resort but it was also much quieter than the other towers. There's an arcade also but some of the games weren't working. read more

Definitely BYOFood. The restaurant here is awful. Inedible tbh. Also the walls are paper thin. Neither of those things are effected by Covid. I've stayed at much better places than this... oh, also they didn't make the bed while I was at Epcot all day. I came back and they had taken my trash. That's it. read more

Visited this location late one night. Didn't have much choices by way of food, so our family settled on this. Immediately upon walking in the place was freezing, and I mean it felt like an ice locker. Out waitress, after we mentioned it, said she is so accustomed to the cold she doesn't even notice it anymore. The restaurant also had a slight odor. A little like dishwater. I am hoping that was from recent cleaning (??) Despite these facts, we needed food and were seated right away. The restaurant was empty, and clean as far as I could tell. Out waitress was nice and cheery even at the late hour. We ordered breakfast meals, the lumberjack slam. It had pancakes, toast, eggs, bacon, sausage, ham, and hashbrowns. For $10, it was a lot of food. And cooked surprisingly well. The pancakes were nice and fluffy, the bacon perfectly crisp (just the way I like it), and all tasted well. My niece ordered a burger, and while I did not try it, it looked amazing. Take it for what it is, Dennys gives decent food for a decent price in an basic, outdated setting. Don't expect more and you will leave content. read more

Horrible service. What is right in this restaurant? Every single thing we ordered came wrong. Silverware was dirty and female hair was on the napkin. Three different kinds of music was playing at the same time. The loudest one was the one from kitchen (gospel music). Waitress was flirting with a guy and she was making so many mistakes. Greens in the salad was bad. Had hair on the french fries. Even the receipt was printed half empty. read more
