This resort is ranked #13 out of the 281 resorts in the Orlando area on TripAdvisor.com. While touring Disney’s Pop Century Resort, I found that guests do not have to sit back and dream of the popular icons of their past, but instead they can step back in time experience them for real.
Like the other value resorts, the Pop Century offers accommodations in five-themed areas: the 1950’s, the 1960’s, the 1970’s, the 1980’s, and the 1990’s. Each themed area pays tribute to the popular icons of their perspective times. The Pop Century is the largest value resort, and has a total of 2,880 rooms. Each room offers two double beds, a small table and chairs, and a bathroom with a vanity area and sink. They can accommodate up to four guests and a child under the age of three in a crib. Guests with disabilities can request a king-sized room that has a larger bathroom, equipped for wheelchair access. The Pop Century allows guests to check in at Classic Years Area at Classic Hall at 3pm, and check-out at 11am or earlier. One of the benefits of staying at this Value Resort is the cost per night; somewhere between $79 and $139 before tax.
Resort guests will find that this value resort is no different than the others when it comes to resort amenities and activities, walking around, shopping, and the pools are some of the highlights. There is, however, a video arcade to entertain the kids.
Places To Eat & DrinkThe food court offers barbecue, burgers, pizza and pasta. Pizza, salads, and beer and wine delivery is available to the guest rooms from 4pm until midnight.
Food Court Eateries
The Everything Pop Food Court features five different menus with offerings of barbecue, burgers, pizza, and pasta, as well as assorted baked goods.
Lounge
A first for the value resorts, as a cocktail and coffee lounge provides guests with a light appetizer menu and full bar.
Petals –
Petals is a free standing poolside bar that is located next to the Hippy Dippy pool in the center of the resort. They are a full bar, offering frozen and specialty drinks.The PoolsGuests can relax and unwind in one of the three themed pools. The Hippy Dippy is the feature pool, and it is shaped like a giant flower. There are also two other pools; one shaped like a big bowling pin, and the other one is shaped like a computer.
