Guide to Disney’s Pop Century

What is Disney’s Pop Century Resort?

Pop Century is a Disney value resort, though it is priced a little more than the All-Star resorts due to the new Skyliner Access. It is located near Disney’s World World of Sports.

Pop Century Resort is an experience that is groovy, fun, and waiting on YOU! There are 60-foot tall figures and dancing silhouettes that summon you in, and I’m guessing you won’t want to leave anytime soon.

If you love the classic Disney style and characters, you are going to enjoy everything about your stay. When planning the layout and themes, they hit the nail on the head.

The resort is 177 acres, so as you can imagine, there is plenty to see and do while you are staying.

Pop Century Themes

Each decade represents a different theme from that era. Let’s look at some of the things that will be seen in each theme.

• 1950’s – Jukeboxes and rock and roll are a must of this era. You will also find Lady and the Tramp, huge bowling pins, a 40-foot high jukebox, and even a swimming pool that is shaped like a bowling pin. The Bowling Pins stand over 65 feet tall! It’s a MUST-SEE!
• 1960’s – If you love psychedelics and bright tie-dye, then you’ll love staying in this area of the resort. You’ll find Mowgli, Baloo, and Play-Doh Pete along with lots of fun sayings on the buildings. Plus, the Hibby Dippy Pool can be found here too.
• 1970’s – What’s more 70’s than 8-track tapes? Yep, you’ll find them here that happen to be 35 feet high along with foosball men, and you’ll even see Mickey Mouse.
• 1980’s – Everyone’s favorite 80’s handheld game is the Rubik’s Cube. When you see this Rubik’s Cube, you will notice that it’s huge, That’s because, at its highest point, it’s actually 41 feet off the ground. There is a huge Rubik’s Cube that lights up. If you are a child of the ’80s, I’m sure you will feel right at home.
• 1990’s – When the 90’s hit, technology really gained a lot of steam. It’s only natural that it’s accented with floppy disks, computers, and cell phones.

Pop Century My Opinion

Out of the Disney value resorts, this is my favorite one. It’s my favorite because it does not share buses with other resorts, has Skyliner access, and is perfect for those guests who aren’t going to spend much time in their room. I am also a big fan of the tye-dye cheesecake that is exclusive to this resort!
