WHY POP CENTURY RESORT IS ONE OF THE BEST VALUE RESORTS ON DISNEY WORLD PROPERTY
Disney’s POP Century Resort is categorized as a Disney Value Resort but y’all it is so much more. I always laugh at the “value” resorts because they’re basically a Hilton equivalent — just the bottom tier at Disney World. However, I will say that of the value resorts, POP century is one of the best along with Art of Animation because they are right next to the Disney Skyliner, which is a great way to travel to the park in addition to hopping on a bus to the parks. If you’re not familiar with the Disney Skyliner, it’s basically an aerial gondola. You can get to Epcot and Hollywood Studios from Disney’s POP Century on the Skyliner which is awesome. I don’t know what it is about the skyliner but it’s my favorite way to travel around Disney property, especially at sunrise and sunset.
A LITTLE ABOUT THE HOTEL
At POP Century, you’ll experience the unforgettable fads of the 1950s through the 1990s all over again. Each building is a different century which is pretty groovy! They even have a walking trail around the property with dates and facts about different events that have happened. It’s definitely any trivia buffs dream to walk around and learn fun facts — it was mine! From yo-yos and Play-Doh to Rubik's Cubes and rollerblades, this hotel salutes the timeless fashions, catch phrases, toys and dances that captivated the world through the decades. As you walk around the HUGE property you’ll see numerous tributes to things from the past like a giant Mickey and foosball table!
EVERYTHING POP SHOPPING & DINING
Something I actually love about the value resorts is that they all have food courts. There are numerous food stalls or stations from pizza, chicken and potatoes, burgers, and more! We hit up the food court in the morning before we rope dropped a couple of parks for Mickey waffle meals which include: 3 Mickey waffles, two slices of bacon, and two sausage links for $10. Not too bad for Disney World am I right? I loved that I could grab some breakfast there early before heading to the parks. They’re open from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. so we took advantage of late night snacks as well after long park days.
WHAT ARE VALUE RESORT HOTEL ROOMS LIKE?
The value resort rooms have all been upgraded and honestly I love how they did it. Every double room includes a Murphy bed that folds down from the wall but when it’s upright it provides a table for guests. There was plenty of coffee and creamer (you can grab more at the food court) which I used every morning while getting ready. If you need coffee you can call the front desk and request more or swing by and get some. We loved having a fridge in the room too for our apples and other snacks. The only thing I wasn’t a fan of was that the blankets were super thin. There wasn’t an actual comforter on the beds and we like to sleep with it pretty chilly so I would definitely ask for an additional blanket or bring your own.
The bathrooms were especially roomy at POP Century! I loved that they had a sliding door separating the vanity area from the main room. This was perfect for when I was up at the butt crack of dawn getting ready for park days while Andrew or my friends were sleeping in. The door was able to block all of the light and I was able to do my makeup in great lighting. Once in the bathroom, there’s a door separating the shower and toilet from the vanity area. Also, when you slide the bathroom door there’s a full body mirror which I ALWAYS appreciate in a hotel room. For real though, every hotel needs to have these in their rooms. In addition to the nice bathrooms, they provide their guests with awesome hair products & body wash. I love the brands they use and I hardly ever like hotel products.
Overall, I think Disney value resorts are SO worth it. While at Disney World you don’t spend too much time in your room so why splurge on a room when you can just splurge on park experiences. Especially when the value resort rooms are so nice!?
Have you stayed at POP Century before? If not, will you be staying there soon?
