“Fun Fun Fun!!!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 7, 2013

We wanted a inexpensive,5 night, fun trip to Florida and chose to stay at Disney's Pop Century. We took the Magical Express bus from the airport to the hotel and the trip was quick and efficient. Our room was ready when we arrived. The room was small, very small. We had 2 double beds and a small table with 2 wooden chairs. The lack of an upholstered chair to sit and read/watch TV was our biggest complaint about the room. We also thought the grout in the bathroom(particularly the tub) needed a deep clean. All that being said we thought the room was fine. The best parts of the resort are the happy, friendly and professional employees and the atmosphere. We spent 2 days in the parks and planted ourselves at the pool for the rest of the time. The pool had fun activities for young and old and great music. The atmosphere at the pool was lively and FUN!! The food court was hectic but we enjoyed our meals there - and again the employees there were patient and friendly. The buses to the parks were efficient. Although we like the Disney Deluxe resorts a lot more we had a fun, cheap trip to Florida. If we needed to keep costs down we would book Pop Century again, and look forward to our stay!

“Great hotel for a great value! Looking forward to returning.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 7, 2013

We stayed at this resort in August 2012. We purchased a vacation package which included our meals, tickets and accommodations, this was a fantastic deal. We had never been to Disney before and were not sure what to expect. We will definitely be returning to this resort. The rooms were very clean, they were not as small as I had expected after reading some reviews. The food in the food court had a great variety. There was always something we could find to eat. The grounds were spotless. My daughter enjoyed the activities they had for the children and the Daisy pool, and movie night was a great touch. Thank you Pop Century for a fantastic vacation!

“Time for an update”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 7, 2013

I have stayed at the Pop Century several times. Food court is outstanding for a food court and there is a great variety of options the rooms are in need of an update. Employees could be friendlier. Not the typical Disney experience.

Room Tip: Choose room in the 50's if you want a quiet area

“You get what you pay for”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 7, 2013

For our 1st trip to Disney my husband and I decided to save money on the hotel by staying at the Value Resort, Pop Century. We had read the mixed reviews on Tripadvisor and had several friends recommend the hotel so we thought we'd give it a try since we wouldn't be spending much time in the room. In the end the hotel was adequate but not impressive. The room was very, very dark and the carpet was awful but overall housekeeping took great care to make sure the room was clean. My biggest disappointment was that we couldn't reserve a king-size bed. We could request one, but there was no promise and sure enough there were no king beds available when we arrived. Needless to say, my husband and I ended up sleeping in separate beds on our vacation.

As anticipated we didn't spend much time in the room so the Pop Century filled the need for a bed and shower but next time I think we may upgrade even if its just so we can sleep in the same bed on our vacation.

Room Tip: The preferred rooms are a little noisy but if you have any difficulties walking these rooms are the...

“Great holiday”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 6, 2013

We were at the Pop Century Resort from the 7th to 12th of Dec 2012. My family enjoyed our first vacation at the WDW and part of that was because we stayed at the Pop C. Resort. We arrived from the Orlando airport by the Disney magical express service courtesy of the resort which is great cos its a complimentary shuttle and considering its a long drive we saved a lot on the taxi fare! The checking in was smooth with a warm 'red carpet' welcome by some staff at the entrance! Our room was in the 80's block which was a little far from the food court, rooms were little cramped but not a major issue as we were out for most of the day. They have 2 pools which we didn't use considering the fact that its winter. Housekeeping came in every other day, the food court which is open from 6am to 12 MN tends to remain crowded most of the time but I think about 800 people can be seated in it. You'll surely need ur 15$ disney mugs for ur drink refills thru ur entire stay out there! A decent disney outlet store is located next to the food court. Theres 2 laundromats in the resort. Everyone in the resort were quite friendly. The bus services to the parks were good but sometimes it may take a while to get one.take the downtown disney bus if you wish to go out of disney as you get plenty of taxis from there to other places. This more like a cosy motel with a feel of disney all around. It's a budget resort which is fine if you're happy to have a fun holiday which is easy on ur pocket. We enjoyed our stay overall and would not mind going back. And finally when we left we checked in our luggage at the resort and got our boarding passes as well from the resort so saved us the hassle of doing all that at orlando airport. How cool is that!

Room Tip: Ask for a room close to the food courts and main lobby as its easier during check in and check out.
