Disney's Pop Century Resort
Disney's Pop Century Resort is a tribute to 20th-century pop culture. Decade by decade, from the 1950s through to the 1990s, giant crazes such as yo-yos, Play-Doh, a Rubik's Cube and roller skates stand between the buildings.
Location and transport
Pop Century sits on Hourglass Lake, opposite Art of Animation. The big advantage: the hotel has its own Disney Skyliner station. This cable car lets you glide over to EPCOT and Disney's Hollywood Studios. For Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom and Disney Springs, you take the free bus.
Rooms and suites
All rooms have one queen-size bed plus a fold-out bed, or one king-size bed, for up to four people. You can choose between a Standard Room, a Preferred Room close to Classic Hall, or a room overlooking one of the pools.
Early Theme Park Entry
Get into all four theme parks half an hour early on every day of your stay, including your arrival and departure days.
Buy Lightning Lane earlier
Hotel guests can buy Lightning Lane passes 7 days before their stay, for their entire stay. Everyone else can only do so 3 days in advance.
Free transport
The free Disney buses take you to all the theme parks, the water parks and Disney Springs. Parking at the hotel and the parks is free.
Food and drink
Everything POP Shopping & Dining in Classic Hall is a food court and shop in one, open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. At the Petals Pool Bar next to the Hippy Dippy Pool, you can order a drink.
Pools and practical information
There are three pools: the Hippy Dippy Pool with flower-shaped water jets in sixties style, the Bowling Pool and the Computer Pool. There are also campfire activities, Movie Under the Stars on certain evenings, a playground and the Fast Forward Arcade.
Address: 1050 Century Drive, Lake Buena Vista. According to Disney, construction or renovation work is currently taking place at the hotel. Bear in mind there may be works going on.
