Disney's Pop Century Resort

2nd stay. Love this resort! Employees were all friendly and helpful. Food choices were better than my last visit and they were good then! Rooms clean without overpowering cleanser smell. Beds comfy! Room in great shape. Fridge is small but cold! Skyliner is on property and thats one of the main reasons we like staying there

This hotel was a bit hit and miss. Our room was clean, modern and had plenty of storage. The skyliner was a great addition. Really made our Epcot/HS travel a lot easier. The buses weren't great. Quite often we found ourselves standing due to the bus being full. Not ideal with a youngster and a stroller. We had a 30 minute wait at Disney Springs one evening, which is far too long. The bus drivers however were fantastic. Most seemed to really love their jobs. The food court selection was good. Most staff were friendly here. We had very poor results ordering milkshakes and ice creams. Waits of between 10-15 minutes were common, resulting in food going cold whilst we waited. There was no option to sit down and have them bring the shakes to you. The staff cleaning tables were fantastic. Very friendly and engaging with our son. Frustratingly, our neighbours who had just arrived decided to excitedly decorate their window at midnight. The doors slam shut, so their constant going in and out to check the display was not what we needed at midnight. We had a nice time, but would not return.

The rooms are nice enough, but they are pretty small. They have the connecting doors between rooms, so you hear everything your neighbor is doing. Even the other wall isn't sound proof at all. I got to wake up to the sounds of someone getting violently sick next door. It's a motel so your only window looks out to a walk way. Theres several buildings so how easy of a walk it is to the skyline and busses can very. My parents are elderly and they were having a hard time with how much walking there was before you get to the park. The cafe is fine. It took a long time to check out. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The skyline was a pretty nice way to get to the parks, but in the morning and night you should expect a long line. The busses to magic kingdom and animal kingdom were slow and not great. I guess for Disney it's a great value though it would be like $80/night anywhere else.

As an annual passholder, I get really good deals on Disney resorts, and we visited for MNSSHP and Food and wine. This past trip made it feel like the deal wasn’t worth it. I gave the location four stars since it’s close to every park and it has the Skyliner. I paid $220 a night with AP deal. Food service was really great, Food quality was basic at best. My daughter ordered a dessert that didn’t seem to have flavor and ended up switching it for a sundae. My real issue this time was with the rooms. We initially checked into a room on the third floor in the 50s building, and someone either smoked weed in it or smoked cigarettes. I called the front desk and they arranged for us to be moved to a room in the 80s building on the first floor. Once we received the callback stating we were being moved, The cast member offered the excuse that the room was above a smoking section, And as a smoker myself, I had to correct her and be like listen….No one from the smoking section is blowing smoke directly in this third floor room for it to be smelling like that. Hoping that that would be better in the 80s building, it was because it wasn’t smoked in, but it was dirty. The linens on the beds were questionable, but the beds and pillows were comfortable. The bathroom area and everything else was just gross. Not thoroughly seemed something that a simple Lysol wipe would be able to get rid of.

Recently had a split stay of 2 nights at Animal Kingdom Lodge, and 2 nights at POP Century with a room located in the 50’s section of the resort. Pros include being conveniently located to the Skyliner along with bus transportation for easy access to parks, Disney Springs, and other resorts like Art of Animation and Caribbean Beach. There is a big food court with plenty of seating and a large retail store with merchandise and snacks/drinks. Parking at the resort is abundant and free if you have a rental car. And, the hotel room was clean, along with the property and excellent staff! For cons, the two big differences that were felt moving from Animal Kingdom Lodge were room size - POP definitely was smaller, so keep that in mind traveling with families. And, the room itself was quite noisy. My room was an adjoining room and I could clearly hear the couple next door even at a conversational level. Highly recommend requesting a non-adjoining room. Because the hotel has outside entry, the main entry door is also not very sound reducing and can also be rather noisy, especially if you end up located near a pool or common area. My room must have been near some type of maintenance area as there was noise from the maintenance carts basically from about 6am to 11pm each day, with beeping vehicles backing up and banging from loading and unloading often. Overall, I wouldn’t not stay here again if the price was right, or I was there for a short stay - as how much are you really in your room at Disney World?? But, you do get what you pay for with being an older property in the value category. Since moderate resorts are similar layouts, I would recommend looking at deluxe if your budget allows.
