“Biggest Highlights - Magical Hours & Transportation to Parks”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 4, 2012

I recently stayed (for the first time) at the Pop Century Resort for vacation on 11/26 -12/02.
I can happily state that it was one of the best decisions I have every made. First, upon check in in the Lobby I was quickly attended too and was immediately provided the key to my room. Upon entering my room, I guess I expected more disney-like objects/images in it, but the beds were comfortable and the room was clean. The hotel also has a very nice Disney store and its Food Court serves breakfast, lunch and dinner (closes at 12pm).
The bus services for this time of year, ran about 5 to 8 minutes apart, I hardly had to wait for the bus to arrive. This is the major advantage to staying at this Disney Value Hotel since you don't need to drive to and from the parks. In addition, being a Disney Value Hotel guest you are given the opportunity of enjoying Magical Hours in the AM/PM, meaning that only Disney Hotel guests will be able to enjoy additional park hours with ONLY Hotel Guests. I strongly suggest to visit the Magic Kindom Christmas Parade and the Dancing Lights at Hollywood Studios. This was truely magical. In summary, being that I am all day/night in the park, I dont necessarily need a huge room. The magical hours and the bus transportation is definitely the biggest reasons to reserve at this hotel.

Room Tip: As mentioned in other reviews, you can overhear plumbing of other rooms, but I was soo tired from th...

“Pop Century- Decent for the price”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed December 4, 2012

Pop century is as it states- a value resort. Very large grounds and decent help with the front desk and bags...as always service is high at almost anyplace Disney. Rooms were very basic, as expected so I was not surprised. The restaurant/ food court was very large and food was similar to what you can expect at the parks. We stayed at All Star Sports after we stayed at Pop and All Star Sports' food court was considerably smaller. We didn't get a chance to swim as we were there in NOV but the pool area looked nice. Average experience without any complaints. After many days at Disney parks we just needed a place to sleep and shower so it fit our plans well.
The bus from Disney can be quite a long wait. Getting to the parks is never an issue however at night waiting in line for a bus for up to 20 min and then a 20 min ride can make for a long evening.

Room Tip: If you don't liek to walk very far to get to your room after a day at the Parks than ask for a r...

“Didn't like being in the way back!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed December 4, 2012

I was there with Pop Warner, my daughter is a mighty mite cheerleader. They put us in the way back not because we were pop warner cause there were cheerleaders and football players all over. I didn't like the long walk to the front lobby to get food. Customer service at the desk was good but the lady (heavy set) at the line where they ask what you need before you get to the front was so rude. The very next day we dealt with a man and he was much nicer and easy to deal with. Rooms were clean Wifi connection was terrible I was getting a signal but never able to connect. I cant forget to mention that it sounded like the marching band was right above us at 630 in the morning every day!!!

Room Tip: get room in the front far walk!

“Its a magical hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 4, 2012

Great recent stay at one of Disney's resorts.. Check-in and out were seamless and really appreciated the resort baggage check-in.. The only negatives include; the food offered in the large restaurant was very repetitive and somewhat bland and drinking stations served no water just sodas.

“A great family hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 3, 2012

This hotel has a wonderful food court with many things to choose from. There is a large sitting area as well. This hotel is bright and fun! It is a value resort the rooms are a little small but we were at the parks all day so the rooms were perfect! There are 3 large pools there as well.
