Amazing

Lucas R on Jul 04, 2026

Pop century is a must for people who want a not so expensive hotel. All the staff there are lovely and kind. There are so many activities that happen at pop century like the smore making. I stayed in the 90s part of the hotel but they are all themed so good. I personally loved the big Mickey phone statue that was one of my favourite decorations there. The food is amazing and you must try the tie dye cake its colors are so beautiful the rooms are so decorated cutely and they were so clean! The location of the hotel can get You to go on the sky liner Wich would take you to Epcot or Hollywood studios. I love this hotel and I recommend it a lot!!

A lots changed since 2023

Stayed here in may of 2023. So i read my review from then. much same. much different. same: 50s location again. love it. if in building 3, very close to sky liner and both main pool and location pool. tip: always always always go inside and check rm location instead of just accepting computer randomly assigned on app. you’ll get usually a room that’s already ready and in area you’d prefer. (not guaranteed but always works for me ) same: if can bring a fan for noise blocking. it’s loud.doors close hard. people coming back late from or leaving early for parks. screaming kids. music at pool loud and open till 10. changed: food was terrible. if it’s at a common time in morning or worse , when the parks are closed and people coming back. It is extremely crowded, and you will literally regret it. By the time you have waited in line to pay, your food is cold. There are microwaves on either side inside the seating area. I paid $33 for a reg breakfast for my daughter and a small kids meal for myself. oatmeal had no flavor and was watery/gross. turkey sausage literally some floppy tasteless disc that they threw in microwave. eggs, of course the powdered kind which you expect that they were, but just nasty and bland. Her link sausage was very greasy. Bacon was so greasy you had to have napkins to soak it up. The manager was very gracious and refunded my money and offered us whatever we wanted to eat to replace it.which was lovely. lunches are no better. best bet is chicken fingers. they’re awesome. pools close if lightening is 30 miles away so be ready. if you’re coming in summer, you’re going to end up having to leave the pool. We had to do it three days in a row and we had literally just sat down. We had a 6 month old baby, so that was not fun. No fault of their own, just know that it happens. we took skyliner to rivera for coffees and breakfasts and a lunch. it’s still quick serve but they serve you. it’s small but good is 100% better. i would still stay here again bc of skyliner location but as usual, we bring our own lunch foods and snacks. refill cups are now $22.50 each. only used at resorts. **** you can use them at any resort just not parks. they are only good for your stay and i think 10 days after that. so they cannot be reactivated another time. tip: always check for skyliner maintenance in case its closed.

Would Recommend!

Carmen R (New York City, New York) on Jul 01, 2026

Enjoyed staying at the Pop Century Resort! First time visiting Disney World and staying at a Disney hotel, and they really know how to do hospitality right. The Skyliner access to Epcot was great - super convenient - as well as the perks like early entry that being at the hotel confers. Despite being a 'value' resort, the rooms were well-appointed and nicely laid out. Also appreciated the pool bar (which had a surprisingly wide array of drinks for its size, and a good atmosphere), the large food court (which had a large variety of dishes that seemed engineered to meet the tastes and price points for 95% of hotel guests.) Also enjoyed the theming throughout the hotel!

Great budget-conscious option!

lisasK6898IL on Jun 30, 2026

This is a great, more affordable option for families going to Disney. Having access to the Skyliner is wonderful for Epcot and Hollywood Studios. The buses take longer but were ok. Just be prepared there is often standing required on the shuttles. (This is a big reason some choose the pricier hotels. The transportation around really is easier.) The hotel was nice and clean. Staff were wonderful. Food was average. Rooms were small but sufficient. Theming was cute!

Roach

Mike P on Jun 28, 2026

This is a great resort, but there was a roach in our bathroom. Disney seems unconcerned, as there is no one to email, and though I just filled out a survey, there was no follow-up question when I gave a negative rating. Shocking!
