When it comes to Disney Value Resorts, we think Pop Century is the best resort for those on a budget. While it doesn’t have all the bells and whistles of moderate and deluxe resorts, Disney Pop Century Resort does offer more than some of the other value resorts.
Disney Pop Century Resort
Pop Century’s theme is Pop Culture spanning from 1950 to 1990.
The theme is evident in all the surroundings, from the buildings to the pool.
You will find buildings featuring things that pertain to each century; things like yo-yos, Rubik’s Cubes, and roller skates.
Its fun, vibrant vibe is one that the entire family will enjoy.
Pop Century Pool
Pop Century Resort has three different pools. The largest of the three is the Hippy Dippy Pool.
While there is no slide, there are flower fountains and a splash pad for little ones.
There is plenty of seating in the sun to soak up those Florida rays!
This is where you will want to go to see Movies Under the Stars.
Pop Century Food Court
There are no table service restaurants at Pop Century, but they do have a 7-station food court with plenty of seating.
It is located just beyond the Pop Century gift shop.
The Everything POP store features plenty of Disney Souvenirs along with clothing and snack items.
Pop Century Rooms
The rooms at Disney’s Pop Century Resort are similar is style and size to Disney Resort Rooms at Disney All Star Music and Movies.
They are roomy enough and great for families who won’t be spending a ton of time in the room.
Guests can choose a room with two full size beds, one of which converts from table to bed at night to give a little extra space during the day.
You would never know the bed was a table when it is in the sleeping position and it is just as comfortable as the standard full bed.
Guests will find plenty of outlets for charging their electronics. In fact, these rooms have standard outlets and USB charger outlets as well.
The bathrooms in Pop Century are sectioned off with a sliding barn-style door to allow privacy in the sink area.
There is also a pocket door between the sink and the shower/toilet area.
Like all Disney Resorts, shampoo, body wash, and conditioner are provided to guests.
Conveniently Located
One of the best things about staying at Pop Century Resort is that everything is conveniently located.
You are within a quick walk to the main building that has the food court and to the bridge over Hourglass Lake that connects to Art of Animation & the Skyliner gondola system.
The Skyliner will quickly get you from the resort to both EPCOT and Hollywood Studios.
This is one of the reasons why we think Pop Century is the best Disney Value Resort!
You Can See EPCOT’s Fireworks
Another perk to staying at Pop Century Resort is that it is super close to EPCOT.
This means that you can see EPCOT’s fireworks from the parking lot!
It is a pretty cool view and you don’t have to get caught in the traffic coming out of the park to enjoy a Disney light show.
Overall, Pop Century Resort checks all the boxes when it comes to going to Disney on a budget. It isn’t the most expensive place to stay, but gets you all the perks of staying at Disney and being near the Skyliner system!
