Reviewing EVERY Hotel in Disney World -- Pop Century Resort

You’re at Disney World and you’re wanting to stay somewhere affordable, close to the parks, and… groovy? (Groovy is ALWAYS part of the criteria, right?) But is the most “retro” and “far-out” resort on Disney World property REALLY the vibe you’re searchin’ for? Let’s find out.

I stayed here on a solo trip in Nov. 2021 and loved it. I would go back for sure, and I cannot say I felt that way about any other value resort. Having the skyliner right there made getting to Epcot so easy and peaceful. I stayed in a preferred room (Jungle Book) and had a very quick walk to the main building, buses, pool and skyliner. I highly recommend getting a preferred room.

Stayed here a few weeks ago - this is how you renovate a hotel room! Super impressive remodel; clean, modern, and comfortable. Highly recommend if you need a night to stay. We got a super deal that rivals the holiday inn prices!

I love Pop Century! It’s perfect for me and my husband, because we’re in the parks from rope-drop to after close. All we need is a clean bed and bathroom and access to the Skyliner.

We stayed at POP last year and are going back again in October - as adults only, we loved the retro vibes and the fun theming.

I believe pop century is the best value resort on Disney property. Mainly because the skyliner! I stayed in December and requested a room close to the skyliner and it was so easy to go to Epcot, Hollywood studios and even the boardwalk. I love how the skyliner for Epcot drops you off on the back entrance next to the France pavilion and the boardwalk. So you can explore the boardwalk resorts and nightlife and even the new riviera resort. Also you can skip the busy main entrance area of Epcot and walk right into France which has the best food in the park in my opinion and the new ratatouille ride!

Absolutely LOVE Pop Century. Relatively reasonable pricing to stay on property and access to the skyliner. It’s a win.

I stayed at Pop Century in January and it was so nice. Everything was laid out super well, the walking trails were clear and wide, the huge novelty sculptures were so fun, and the skyliner really can't be beat. I would say stay in the 90s if you want to be closer to parking and further from foot traffic - if you want near the skyliner ask to stay in the 60s.

We stayed there in May with my husband and daughter. I went in with low expectations, and oh my gosh I loved it so much! I have stayed at poly and Fort wilderness lodge (a little bougie back in the day) but pop is absolutely amazing and the skyline makes it so much more worth it to stay there. If you can stay in the 60s and 50s area then it's okay we stayed in the 90s section and it was so far away from everything. I would definitely stay there again.

Brought daughter and granddaughter down here to Florida. Stayed at POP'S had a nice time there. Saved $$$

I did Pop for my first ever trip to Disney a couple of weeks ago and honestly LOVED it. The food was pretty good and not as expensive as other Disney options, the rooms were well thought out and clean, and we loved the bus and skyliner. Getting to the stop about an hour early got us there for early access every time. The shop also ended up having a couple things I’d run out of time to grab at animal kingdom and magic kingdom. I would definitely not do it with a whole family or adults other than my partner, but I would 100% stay again.

We’ve stayed multiple times at Port Orleans Riverside, French Quarters, Coronado Springs, Animal Kingdom Lodge and Fort Wilderness Cabins to name a few BUT we’ve stayed at The Pop Century (since it opened) over 20 times. It’s the BEST Value Resort in Disney World especially since they renovated all the rooms. Plus the Cast Members tend to be very likable and of course The Skyliner makes getting to EPCOT and Hollywood Studios a breeze;) Great Video AJ, as always!!!

I miss being able to go to Disneyworld but now that I’m an adult and paying for things on my own, with the price of everything going up and bob chapek being in charge for now I’ll be doing universal. Watching these videos helps with nostalgia at the very least.

I’m staying at Pop Century for my upcoming trip in July! Really excited to get skyliner access plus I’m a sucker for the 60s and 70s.

[Ines_Feliciano]

I love Pop Century, I like the preferred room to be close to transportation. I’ve always had a great experience there. Love hoping on the skyliner to get my Joffreys coffee in the morning.

Love Pop Century!! We were there last year and will be back in September. Only two of us so room was perfect. Skyliner was excellent, so convenient and comfortable. We enjoyed stopping at the petals bar to relax after long day at parks.

I love Pop! It was my first resort stay on Disney Property last summer, and definitely will stay here again. I loved the updated rooms and the beds were comfy. Room service came everyday to clean and they were awesome! I’m staying at All Star Movies this year but will definitely come back to this one!

[southernfriedadventures]

We LOVE pop century!! Stayed in May and got a perfect ground floor room right outside of the bowling pin pool & loved it! Going in about 3 weeks for a few nights this time requested the 60s section but still preferred :) the skyliner is a game changer for sure. We did not wait in a single transportation line for more than a minute or so. Much better than the packed busses especially at night! Gondolas stay surprisingly cool 😎

[jennyreid]

We just booked a stay at Pop Century for January. We’ve stayed before and loved it. Very excited to try the skyliner.

[NormFoss]

We've stayed at Pop Century 2 times, last time was 2 weeks ago. We love it! Its even better now with the Skyliner.

[Fortheloveofthethrill]

I find the water view nice. It’s quiet and usually close to skyliner
