Very clean and comfortable. Nice pool. Close to skyliner. Some of the best and most helpful staff we have encountered.
Pros:
Close to skyliner. Nice pool. Affordable. Great staff.Cons:
Not walking distance to any of the parks. You have to take transportation- bus or skyliner. The music in the lobby and common areas is a little loudReviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 03/02/2023

Pop Century was the perfect fit for a young adult trip on a budget! Having stayed at the Contemporary last year in 2021 (before the incredibles refurbishment), it was quite a big jump from deluxe to value... and I liked the rooms at Pop WAY MORE! The standard room is spacious for having two beds, especially if you leave the murphy bed up, and the bathroom has one of the nicest showers I have seen at a value hotel.
Each cast member I met was kind, helpful, and energetic! Any questions I had were addressed respectfully and quickly.
The transportation makes this hotel INCREDIBLE! The Skyliner is a game changer for getting to the parks and other resorts, and it is quick, peaceful, and so nice to not have to wait as long for buses! I was lucky and never experienced downtime for the Skyliner. As for the buses, they were as good as such a huge bus system could be. The wait times listed in the app were usually accurate or a bit early, and the drivers were super kind!
I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone, not just families with kids or people on a tight budget. I would say that if you are spending lots of time at the resort, this probably is not the hotel for you, but otherwise it has great rooms and amazing transportation. So worth it.
Pros:
Skyliner! New, modern rooms Friendly cast members Cute themingCons:
A bit loud with kids/families No table service restaurantReviewed by Acosta5705 Review Date: 02/27/2022

We love Pop Century and it is our go to for our trips to Disney. We have been 4 times in 18 months and stay here each time. If you stay a little farther out from the main building and pools it's quiet. Food court is pretty good, typical fast food type options, but that's ok with us after long days at the park. We love ordering and then eating in the room. The staff have always been phenomenal, even when we had an issue with our latest stay. They were amazing and helpful. Clean rooms and being on the skyliner is a big pro for us too!
Pros:
Clean rooms, quiet if you stay away from main area, skyliner, friendly staffCons:
Large resort, so decent amount of walking, but not like some other resorts I've read about.Reviewed by Rebeca Review Date: 01/23/2022

LOVE LOVE LOVE!! Pop Century feels like our home away from home. Our family loves the theming of the resort, which really makes you feel like you are in Disney. The Hippy Dippy pool is super fun and my girls love doing the Mickey tye-dye activity. The food court is your standard Disney quick service food, but I have picky eaters so it works for us. The addition of the skyliner system here has been a GAME CHANGER! My girls LOVED it! They asked to ride it several times when we had no where to go. Lol. Not really sure if this would make anyone decide to stay here but the smell that they pump through the lobby is my favorite!!! Tip: ask to stay in building #6 (70's section), it is close to the main building, as well as the skyliner!
Pros:
SKYLINER, fun theming, fun pools and activitiesCons:

We absolutely loved staying at Pop Century. We stayed from August 24th to the 28th, 2021 and we found it to be fairly quiet (as were the parks!). We had no waits at the Skyliner in the morning and no waits for the buses in the morning. Sure this is just a kitschy motel but it had plenty of personality to spare. The room was small but for only 2 people it was perfectly fine. We came back to the room in the afternoon to freshen up every day and then we were back at the parks until closing. No issues with the room itself; everything was clean. Nothing too loud at night and the beds were comfy. We were in the 70s section (which we requested) so we didn't have to deal with noise from the pools. A quick 5 minute walk to the buses or skyliner was a plus. Will definitely be staying here again!

skyliner station heck yeah!Cons:

LOVE LOVE LOVE this resort! Stayed here Nov. 2020 during the height of covid. Although the food options were minimal and there was no self-serve beverage stations, the location next to the skyliner and refurbished rooms made it completely worth every penny. Can’t wait for my next trip in April 2022!
Pros:
Location with Skyliner Access, Beautiful refurbished rooms (No Carpet!!!), Price for on-site Disney hotel.Cons:
Not really anythingReviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 07/03/2021

We did a 5-night stay in May and were very happy with the resort. The room was clean, and the front desk was helpful. They were able to help get a reservation at Chef Mickey.

I feel like this resort is underrated, as it is such a hidden gem!! The room renovations made to this resort in combination with it being on the skyliner route really makes it one of my top resorts. The price is reasonable and the beds are comfortable! It’s not as overwhelming in size as other resorts are, like CBR, which I appreciated and the cast members are always helpful and friendly. I think it’s perfect all around!
