All About the Extras
Extra Magic Hours
Overnight guests enjoy early entry (one hour prior to opening) and late stay (up to three hours after close) theme park privileges. Your Key to the World Card provides (room key) verifies access. Schedules vary – visit DisneyWorld.com for the latest details.
Onsite Transportation
Free transportation to and from Walt Disney World theme parks, water parks and Downtown Disney is provided by bus. A covered bus stop is located in front of Classic Hall. Unlike other Value Resorts, which share transportation services, Pop Century has its own bus. Average wait time is 10 to 20 minutes.
In-room Babysitting
Kids Nite Out is the recommended provider of in-room resort childcare. Rates are $16 per hour for the first child, with a four-hour minimum and a $10 caregiver transportation fee. All About Kids provides similar services.
Laundry
Same day valet service is available. Valet bags are available at Luggage Service. Coin-op laundry rooms are located next to each of the three pools. Loads are $2 each and vending machines dispense powdered detergent, bleach and fabric softener ($1 each).
Strollers
If you’re visiting The Pop Century with kids under 3, you’ll need a stroller. Bring one from home, or else rent or buy one upon arrival. Everything Pop Shop sells a reclining umbrella model for around $50. Local services that deliver include All About Kids, Orlando Stroller Rental and Owner’s Locker.
Towel Animals
Dogs, bunnies and bears- oh my! On a recent visit, we were welcomed to our room by a cute floppy-eared dog. Towel animals, courtesy of Mousekeeping, are a very popular feature of this as well as other Disney resorts, but keep in mind that their appearance is a surprise treat rather than a guaranteed amenity.
Guest Celebrations
If you’re celebrating a special occasion, be sure to note it on your reservation as well as at check-in time and at the Concierge desk. Free celebratory treats bestowed upon Pop guests might include buttons, cards and character phone calls. Request at least 24 hours in advance.
Disney Dining Plans
For families that don’t want to be tied to dining reservations, Disney’s Quick-Service Dining Plan provides more flexible options than the more deluxe table service plans, at a fraction of the cost. A number of options are available with the Magic Your Way Package.
The Art of Smart Timing
When traveling to Walt Disney World Resort, it's best to avoid peak travel periods. Generally, these times include holidays and the summer months -- in other words, any time schools are out of session. If you do opt to visit in summertime, pack sunscreen, hydrate frequently and, unless you want to spend your souvenir money on ponchos at the parks, don’t forget your raingear.
Fortunately, for travelers on a budget, the least expensive times to visit Walt Disney World theme parks tend to coordinate with times when crowds are the lightest. Disney Resort Value season – when room rates are lowest - runs in January, February, August, September and early December (check for official dates). If your kids aren't in school yet, September is a great time to visit. Another prime time is after Thanksgiving through early December, when parks and resorts are decked out in holiday splendor.
For Mom and Dad
For a fun night out, head to Downtown Disney. Top stops include Raglan Road for music and a pint, Wolfgang Puck Café for dinner and Ghiradelli Soda Fountain for dessert. Closer to home, you can catch a game at ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex. The state-of-the-art facility is the site of Spring Training for The Atlanta Braves, as well as many other ticketed professional and amateur events.
Getting There
Free roundtrip airport transportation from Orlando International Airport (MCO) via motorcoach is available to guests (advance reservation required; limited hours) via Disney’s Magical Express.
To reach the resort by car (approximately 30 minute drive), take the South Exit Road from Orlando International Airport to SR 417 Toll Road (GreeneWay), west and follow signs to Walt Disney World/Disney’s Pop Century Resort. Plan on about $3.00 in tolls.
Online Check-in Service
Save time by checking in online up to 10 days ahead. Upon arrival, present photo ID at Online Check-in desk and receive your Keys to the World.
Luggage Delivery & Transfer
If you’re arriving by car, shuttle or taxi, you can drop your luggage off at Classic Hall at check-in time. Luggage is delivered in groups, by room vicinity. Those utilizing Disney’s Magical Express can expect delivery of luggage three to four hours after landing. If you’re transferring to another Disney resort, the hotel will transport your luggage for you free of charge. Call Luggage Services for details.
Resort Airline Check-in
Even if you’re not utilizing The Magical Express, you can still take advantage of on-site Resort Airline Check-in service (5 a.m. to 1 p.m., check in three hours prior to flight departure), which can be a huge help, especially for those traveling with small children.
