Disney’s Pop Century Resort is one of the most popular and affordable accommodations at Walt Disney World. This Disney value resort is nostalgic and a fun place to stay. In this article, we’ll explore the top 5 reasons to stay at Disney’s Pop Century Resort.
Explore More Walt Disney World
Planning a Walt Disney World vacation involves more than choosing the perfect Disney Resort hotel. Before you continue, be sure to visit our Explore Walt Disney World hub, where you’ll find destination overviews, planning resources, dining recommendations, park guides, seasonal events, and the latest Disney news—all conveniently organized in one place to help you plan an unforgettable vacation.
Affordable Pricing
One of the main reasons to stay at this resort is its affordable pricing. As one of Disney’s Value Resorts, Pop Century offers competitive rates compared to other on-site Disney hotels. Visitors on a budget can take advantage of the resort’s affordable pricing without sacrificing the Disney experience.
You can stay in a standard room for as little as around $150-$200 per night. That is a steal when you consider the amenities offered.
The Disney Skyliner Station
Disney World’s newest and most convenient mode of transportation is steps away from your room. This resort shares a skyliner station with Disney’s Art of Animation Resort.
To some, the skyliner is another Disney attraction. Take a smooth, quiet, and quick ride above the roadways. You can hop on at the Pop Century/Art of Animation station and travel to both Epcot and Hollywood Studios. In addition, the skyliner provides fast and easy access to other Disney Resorts along the skyliner route.
Fun and Themed Atmosphere at Disney’s Pop Century Resort
This resort is all about nostalgia and pop culture. The rooms are divided into different sections/buildings, each representing a different decade from the 1950s to the 1990s. From the larger-than-life Rubik’s Cube and giant Yo-Yo in the 1980s section, there’s always something fun to see and do.
The atmosphere at this resort keeps you inside the magic of a Disney World vacation. The heavy theming is fun and whimsical for all generations.
Family-Friendly Amenities
Disney’s Pop Century Resort is designed with families in mind. The resort has multiple swimming pools including the large “Hippy Dippy Pool” in the 1960’s section, a playground, an arcade, and a combination food court/merchandise location, “Everything Pop”. There are also plenty of outdoor spaces for families to relax and enjoy.
You might learn something! Along the walking paths around the resort are fun trivia facts to read and learn about pop culture.
Disney Magic
Finally, staying at Disney’s Pop Century Resort means being immersed in the magic of Disney. This resort has fun animated theming and friendly cast members. Guests can travel from location to location on property in decorated skyways and buses.
As a guest on property, you can get a wake-up call from Mickey himself, eat Mickey shaped waffles for breakfast and step inside the parks earlier than the public with “Early Park Entry”. You also have access to those lightning lane reservations through Disney Genie+ earlier than anyone staying off property.
*Update: On July 24, 2024, Disney Genie+ will transition to Lightning Lane Multi Pass allowing guests to pre-schedule Lightning Lane reservations ahead of their vacation.
Resort guests can also make advanced dining reservations 60 days prior to the first day of their stay. You get first “dibs” on those popular character dining experiences and popular table service restaurants at Disney World.
