Pop into the shopping area on your way to breakfast to snag some unique Pop Century memorabilia and souvenirs before grabbing a bite to eat at the food court. This is all conveniently connected into one central hub and makes a great grab-and-go for rope-drop days at the parks.

Styled in the appearance of a bustling mall food court in the height of the pop art movement, Everything POP offers a fully American style breakfast, lunch, and dinner menu.

From omelets to pizza and pasta to cooked-to-order burgers, there’s a piece of American cuisine for everybody to enjoy at Everything POP.

As a Value Resort, Pop Century is in the lower end of nightly rates at Disney World, offering all the typical perks one would expect from a Disney resort but at a more affordable cost for families on a budget.

Among those Disney World Resort perks that guests at Pop Century can enjoy are convenient park transportation, great customer service, access to multiple pools, early park hours (starting Oct. 1, 2021), and Disney’s immaculate theming, all without having to break the bank.

3. Pools at Pop Century

A top reason for families to book Pop Century Resort? During a resort day or just a mid-day break from the parks, everyone can cool off at one of the three huge heated pools.

The Hippy Dippy Pool features flower water jets, lax ’60s-era atmosphere, and its own kiddy pool nearby.

Not far off, you’ll find a ‘50s-themed Bowling Pool. And let’s not forget the totally radical ‘90s Computer Pool styled in the shape of a giant retro computer. Complete with keypad and floppy disk, this pool is perfect for the millennial at heart—and real millennials too.

4. Skyliner Access

One of the newer reasons to book a stay at Pop Century Resort is easy Skyliner access. The Skyliner is Disney World’s newest form of transportation and makes it easy for guests of Pop Century to get to EPCOT and Hollywood Studios.

In addition, the state-of-the-art system conveniently connects Pop Century to a handful of other resorts, making it easy to go enjoy the dining experiences offered at other hotels.

No matter where you’re off to, the Skyliner gives you a scenic, bird’s-eye view of the resort grounds. For some, the Skyliner is an attraction in itself.

5. Pop Culture Nostalgia
