We're off again to Disney...The Pop Century is Great! Even if we didn't have kids I'd stay at PC. (well I'd like to try Animal Kingdom Resort one day...after the kids are gone) For now it's PC, the rooms are clean, SERVICE is awsome! The grounds are Disney's high standards all the way. I love how Disney makes you feel, if any employee was having a bad day you would never know it! Food at the PC is good, do not expect 5 star meals. It's the perfect mix for Disney, in for a quick bite at breakfast then off to the parks. Many times we'll grab some fruit and munch it down at the bus stop. Everyone who comlains about the cost of "things" at Disney might better get a reality check.....you are on VACATION it's gonna be a little expensive! Save up before the trip if you need to. When the kids ask for stuff at Disney I rarely turn them down, why? Because we're on VACATION. The pools are fun when you need a break in the afternoon, then head back to the parks at night for the fireworks and extra hours. We can't see paying a whole lot more for a fancy room when you are only going to eat, sleep, and s--t there. Disney always delivers and that's why we keep coming back! And the animal sculptures the staff makes in the rooms for when you return.

We stayed at Pop Century with our four daughters aged 12, 9, 8 and 3. What an incredible place. The rooms are small, but efficient and EXTREMELY clean. Plenty of clean towels and extra pillows for the beds. The beds are very comfortable and for a large resort, it is not noisy at all once you close your door. The air conditioning in the rooms is great and can be adjusted to your liking. Plenty of toiletries and the hot shower and water pressure is wonderful!

The resort is colorful and non-stop...always something happening. The pools were all clean and relaxing with ample lounge chairs.

Every night when we got back from the parks, the cleaning staff arranged our daughter's nightgowns in the windows to look like Princess Gowns. They also made animal shapes with the towels and added stickers...the girls would run to the room each night to see what was left for them each night. It was really a cute touch.

The staff was very helpful and friendly and I am not joking when I say "your wish is their command"...ask for it and consider it yours...and fast.

Bus stops for all of the parks are right outside in front and there are shaded areas and benches for handicapped and people who can't take the heat. The wait for the shuttles to the park is fine. I think we waited 10 minutes at the most for a bus overall.

The buses are great and air conditioned. The bus drivers are very sweet and helpful and many are comics that missed their callings! We found many of them quite amusing on our way to the parks.

I will definitely be staying at Pop Century again. It was honestly the best vacation I ever went on!

We only stayed at this hotel for one night in early Feb 2007 (we had family coming down the next day and we all shared a condo at the pricey Saratoga Springs for the rest of the week). This is one of the least expensive hotels on the Disney property...if you are looking for cheap, clean, fun hotel then this is the place. If you are looking for a big room with amenities, plush bedding and a quieter atmosphere, then keep looking.

The check-in building was nice with great decor and plenty of check-in desks. The store was big with lots of great souveniers. The restaurant was cafeteria style - it was big with good variety and typical prices but it was mobbed for breakfast. The decade decor outside the buildings is really cool, the pools are large and clean and the landscaping is immaculate.

The rooms are very average. They are motel style with two very firm (ie - not so comfortable) beds. The rooms are small and have no real ammenities. BUT they get the job done - especially if you won't be spending much time in the room. You could hear all the pumbing from the next room over but could not hear voices. Great channel selection on the TV. Nice bathroom with good shower pressure

Basically it comes down to price - like I said, we stayed the rest of the week at Saratoga Springs which was amazing but a few hundred bucks per night. For $100/night at the Pop Century, you could put the rest of your dollars elsewhere (parks, souveniers, beter meals etc). The decor/theme and fun shaped pools are great for the kids and I heard the park transportation was reliable and easy.

Good luck and have fun at Disney!

Stayed here Jan 28-Feb 2, 2007.
Easy check-in. Leave your luggage in the car while you check-in! This is not an easy place to manuever around, and more than likely you will be back in your car looking for your building!
Huge lobby, clean grounds and pool area. Lifeguards on duty til10pm.
Rooms are typical 'motel' rooms, but they really keep this place looking new, so we loved it. Pillows nice, bed firm. A/c only goes to 68. Plenty of room for 2 adults and 2 kids. Smallish bathroom. LOUD and SCARY toilet flush. My 9 yr old son said 'Whoa!!!' after flushing! It totally freaked my 7 yr old out as well, but hey, we got used to it and laughed about it as the week went on. As far as the thin walls everyone talks about on here, we slipped into a Walmart on the way and bought a $20 noise machine in the candle dept. (Homedics brand), and we heard white noise and waterfalls while we dreamed of Mickey Mouse.
We left a tip each day for 'mouse'keeping and they cleaned up after us pretty good.
Laundry was nice area....just pricey at $2 a SMALL load to wash and $2 more to dry. There is detergent vending, but I suggest taking your own to save money. Also bring along a folding mesh hamper to transport clothes and plenty of quarters. Change machine is available as well.
Buses were timely....we waited only 5-10 min each park. Our biggest wait was leaving Epcot after Illuminations. This was a total nightmare. Expect to stand unless a miracle occurs....and always be kind to elderly and mommies with sleeping kids! 30 lb kids become dead weight while sleeping!
They offer Express checkout . This was nice! Also, they have caricature artists in the lobby at night, and they were good!
Gift shop is nice.....take notice of the character shaped iced cookies for $2.50. These were great, inexpensive souviners!
Food was not good, and extremely expensive. Coffee was fabulous!!! Where can I find Nestle coffee at home?
There are rows and rows of restaurants close by on hwy 192. Mcdonalds, Cracker Barrel, BK, Subway, A&W......Etc. If you drive or rent a car....take advantage of this!!! We really got tired of fries and burgers after 2 days. There is also a Target and Walmart here as well.
Blow dryer and Iron in room. Ice machines on every floor. Alcohol available in bar, and bottles in gift shop(pricey).
We will stay here again. Not a bad Disney place at all. No sharing buses, and very very clean and colorful.
