About Disney's Pop Century Resort
Super-sized and offering super value to families on a budget, Disney’s Pop Century Resort blends nostalgia for year gone by with value prices of a bygone era.
Opened in 2003 and with a room update underway, Disney's Pop Century (or “The Pop”) is the newest -- and largest -- of Walt Disney World Resort’s four on-site, value-priced lodgings. In fact, it’s one of the largest hotels in the U.S.
Spread over 177 acres, the Wide World of Sports area resort contains 2,880 rooms in 10 four-story, icon-adorned buildings, each themed to personify a decade of the past, from 1950 to 1990. From the four-story Rubik's Cubes adorning the 1980s buildings to the gigantic Big Wheel festooning the facade of the 1970s block, enormous 3D graphics appeal to visitors’ eyes, as well as their memories.
As a value-priced accommodation (standard room rates $82 to $159), The Pop lacks some of the frills you might find in a Moderate or Deluxe Disney resort -- like a marina, bike rentals and waterslides -- but it still packs plenty of family appeal, with larger-than-life Disney theming, cool pools and dozens of fun photo ops that set the scene for a memorable central Florida vacation. Plus, guests enjoy many of the same valuable family-friendly amenities offered to overnight visitors to more expensive Disney properties, like early entry and late stay theme park privileges, on-site airline check-in, free Magical Express airport service and free transportation throughout Walt Disney World Resort.

The decor is quite whimsical and attracts people of all ages. Our kids thought the gift shops and the dining rooms were great. There was a big selection of food. Several different food counters were in the food ... more +
