Nicole BakerMay 10, 2015The food court was amazing! Get a lot of food for your money. The cast members were absolutely amazing, they made the vacation. Leave a tip for the maid, you might get a little something extra. :)Upvote25DownvoteUpvoted Feb 1
Kayla HarbinMay 13, 2015We've stayed in all of the "all star" resorts but pop century is by far our favorite! The food is good, gift shop has lots of stuff, buses are quick and pools are big, & the cast members are friendly.Upvote24DownvoteUpvoted 3 weeks ago- Great rooms and amenities for the price you pay. Remember it's a VALUE resort people, not a 5 star hotel. Be sure to walk over the bridge and check out the Art of Animation resort!Upvote29DownvoteUpvoted 2 days ago
We return home to Disney 3-4 times a year. This is a value resort and is a great resort to save money, especially if you are going to be at the parks all day. A perfect place to put your head.Upvote19DownvoteUpvoted 3 weeks ago
Please keep in mind this is a value RESORT. You aren't paying just for a room, you pay for resort amenities. Personally I love the free transportation, wonderful Cast Members and pools!Upvote11Downvote
Ask for a room closer to the main building and the best resort for less money also it's the only resort with its own bus to every single park so it helps with time. :)Upvote10Downvote
Scotty MunsterMay 15, 2014If the food doesn't suit you take a walk across the bridge of hourglass lake, and check out the great food at the art of animation food court! Short walk, and much tastier options!Upvote9Downvote
Manar ALzamilMarch 4, 2020Totally different experience 😍😁 Rooms are a bit small but clean neat and they provide a room service 👍🏼 one of the reasons which I recommend Pop Century is the Skyliner which goes to Epicot☺️

Not sure why everyone is complaining about the WiFi. It works great! The key is to know there are two different networks to connect to: one for your rooms and one for the common areas.Upvote6Downvote
Otel.comJune 1, 2012Definitely a fun resort to stay in with its whimsical buildings and extraordinary facilities. Pools here are of various unique shapes: flower, bowling pin and computer monitor.Upvote3Downvote
Asimina SoMay 23, 2017Before we became dvc we stayed twice, I loved the theme, we loved how the buses were, food court was good, pools were great! I also loved the centralized location it had to the parks!Upvote1Downvote
Great place to stay. Has dedicated bus no sharing with other hotels. As for it being loud. Im here at the end of summer crowd index 8 ot of 0 and its not bad at all. Of course im on 4th floorUpvote1Downvote
Very nice staff. Gift shop is nice. Veggie Flatbread was really good. Loved all the big statues of different characters.

Jeromi CritikosDecember 9, 2016Not the most overboard resort on property but very nice. Rooms were clean and beds were comfy. Buses to the parks and Disney springs are a huge plus.Upvote2Downvote- One of the best and most crowded value resorts on the Disney property... Highly recommended for a cheaper alternative.

Erin GreeneJanuary 16, 2014Make sure you check your magic bands for charging privileges BEFORE you head to the parks. Could save a lot of headache upon arrival to park! Also be sure to check everyone's bands on the door! :)Upvote3Downvote
Ask for a preferred room. It will minimize your walk to the bus stop. It is a small add'l cost but you will thank me later for a shorter walk to you room at the end of an exhausting day in the parks.Upvote17Downvote
If you're going to the Beach Club or the Boardwalk for dinners or Jellyrolls, take the bus from Pop to Hollywood Studios and then take the boat to the Boardwalk! Soooo much faster than the buses!Upvote15Downvote
Online check in typically has been a breeze, however with the testing of the new MagicBands system lines are pretty long.

Dining at DisneyJune 3, 2013Take the bridge and walk over to Disney's Art of Animation for a wider variety of food options at Landscape of Flavors food court. Try one of the create-your-own items.Upvote2Downvote
Laura BowyerOctober 11, 2011great hotel considering it's a value resort, staff are super friendly & it was always clean. take a walk around the hotel aswell, lots of things to see!Upvote2Downvote
this resort is perfect for a cheap trip especially if you're a college student. The rooms are small but perfect for two people. The food is also really good.Upvote17Downvote
John TApril 26, 2012I like that all the resorts have free wifi now. Connection isn't always great, but its better than when you had to pay to use the Internet. Made it easy to check in to our flight home.UpvoteDownvote
Perfect resort for college kids like myself - comfy beds for crashing at night, and buses to get you wherever you need to go! My favorite value resort.Upvote1Downvote
Great value! Beds are super comfortable and the decor on the grounds is great. Giant everything!! Small rooms, but who cares, you're just sleeping here while not at the park.Upvote12Downvote
WDW Friendship DaysSeptember 1, 2013Take a walk across the bridge to Art of Animation to visit the food court! Some of the best quick service food at Disney World!UpvoteDownvote
Alaina MurphyOctober 19, 2012Also ..make sure if you get the 60s and you want quiet , make sure you're facing the lake . Ours was and was so happy about it . Didn't hear any noise . The pools are open all nightUpvoteDownvote
Sneak a counter service meal over at Art of Animation! A very short walk from POP and their menu is superior to POP. Seems a bit less crowded alsoUpvote5Downvote
Stay in the sixties building to be near the food court and transportation. Also the pool bar is there for great drinks.UpvoteDownvote
Ailie ChangMarch 7, 2016Walk around the Pop Century Hotel Campus and take pictures with everything! Love the 90s.UpvoteDownvote
Fast wifi, tons of kids activities, has it's own bus system so buses are fast! Request first floor room. We love it here! Get the tye dye cheesecake!Upvote1Downvote- Otel.comNovember 21, 2013One of the best theme hotels around. You will enjoy the pools, the restaurants and your crazy rooms!Upvote1Downvote
The waste baskets have rolls of bags inside. Grab a bag or two for wet clothes when you go to the water parks.Upvote1Downvote
awesome place! love all the giant nostalgic stuff and the themes, and our bed is huge and comfy. were staying in the 80s...short walk to bus stops!Upvote3Downvote
Maria MattosJuly 13, 2016Me and my mom went on vacation to Orlando and we stay at the Disney pop Century Resort for two weeks and we had fun.UpvoteDownvote
Charlotte StricklandApril 27, 2012Wifi is now free! Also be sure to get to the buses before the park closes or else it might take you a good 4 buses to get back to the resort.Upvote13Downvote
A short walk to the art of animation for your meals are totally worth it, its the same price.. and quality and selection is way better.Upvote4Downvote
Thank you bus drivers, I don't think it's said enough. Especially seeing, on this past trip, what you have to go through on a daily basis. So, thank you!Upvote34Downvote
Rooms have been recently remodeled and new modern features added. Nice for the $$UpvoteDownvote
Mus DAugust 10, 2014The atmosphere is amazing. The maintenance staff can be non responsive to calls by the Disney Cast Members.UpvoteDownvote
Brenton MarcomFebruary 5, 2021An excellent resort for the money. Dedicated buses are the best!UpvoteDownvote
VandanaAugust 23, 2016Ask for a room on a higher floor, close to shuttle stop, and not facing the pool (quieter). But don't sweat too much if you can't.UpvoteDownvote
Great resort for the price, and the food isn't bad for a value resort. Way better than the all star resorts, especially because there is only one bus stop compared to three.Upvote3Downvote
Eric DixonAugust 16, 2018Newly renovated rooms and stay in a Disney Resirt for the extra parks hoursUpvoteDownvote- This resort has free basic wi-fi. Great for e-mail but not much else. If you're looking to stream Netflix etc... It will be really choppy.Upvote3Downvote
Value is right. We've paid way much more for Deluxe resorts and got so much less. Pop Century is an EXCELLENT value for your money.UpvoteDownvote
Good options for breakfast. Great musics all day long. The rooms should be a little less noisyUpvote2Downvote
Jay GentnerNovember 5, 2013Yes this is a value resort and you hear it in the walls. It serves purpose as a place to sleep and shower, but sleeping in really isn't an option.Upvote2Downvote
