POP Century is an awesome resort especially when you want to visit Disney World without breaking the bank. The upgraded rooms are super comfy and really clean.

I stayed here for 4 nights. I had stayed in the past before the room renos. I have to say the rooms are 100% better. The inclusion of the kitchen area was welcome, as was the dressing area upgrade. Having the table when the second bed was up was great as a single traveler not having the extra bed was great. I did pull down the bed to see it and I think it really crowds the room but you would only need it when it was in use.
The staff here are wonderful and very helpful.
The food court was boring and bland. No real favour there. so find somewhere else to dine.
Pros:
reno rooms, function and clean, amazing staffCons:

This was my second time staying at POP. I love this resort. We stayed there the first week of June. First time for my sister and her kids. Love the refurbished rooms just wish the hand held shower had a way to adjust the water pressure for a more vigorous shower. Requested a top floor room in the 70's section and received exactly what was requested. Love walking around the resort and walking to AoA. Can't wait for the Skyliner to open. Mousekeeping was great also.
Pros:
Refurbished rooms, love the flooring.Cons:
Elevators were very warm. My sister doesn't like elevators to begin with as a result of being stuck in one as a five-year-old. Heat did not help the situation.Reviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 06/30/2019

This is usually my resort of choice however this most recent trip will probably be my last at this resort. First we had tickets to the Halloween party on Sunday night and while I understand check in is at 3 pm I’m the past we have been accommodated very well upon arrival. I did online check in at 11 am for 12 and when we arrived at the hotel at 2 we were told that they were unable to accommodate despite the Halloween tickets and the fact that my two parents both had scooters. We were stuck in the waiting area for two hours when finally I asked at the desk again at 4 pm and the cast member informed me that the manager hadn’t checked the room yet but she could reassign me another one. I explained the situation and she begrudgingly did just that. We stayed Sunday through Saturday and our sheets were never changed once. This is the first time we have ever had a bad experience At this resort but hearing other stories when we were on the buses just made me realize that while the prices keep going up ( which I am ok with if I get good service) the service goes down. I hate having to place this review but as I stated we heard similar stories about bad housecleaning, extremely long waits for rooms and luggage delays. It’s sad as this was one of my favorite resorts even above some of the other more premium ones.
Pros:
Buses come quickly for the most part. Bus drivers were amazing at accommodating ecvs.Cons:
Had to wait for a room past check in time even when staff was aware of our already purchased tickets. Felt very little of the Disney magic at this resort.Reviewed by CNYguy Review Date: 10/30/2019

Skyliner adds value to this resort. It’s an outstanding transportation option. Rooms are comfortable. Pools aren’t anything special of you are used to moderate or deluxe but they’ll get the job done. Food court is a solid option.
Pros:
Cheaper than moderates. Nostalgia galore. Skyliner. Great cast membersCons:
No slides at value pools.Reviewed by magicalcouple Review Date: 11/25/2019

This is our GO to value resort. The layout is not overwhelming and has a fun feel to me and my children. We stayed in the 70's section and had a connecting room with our traveling family. The walk was very short to the food court and bus system.
I love the fact that there is queue per bus and that it is a one stop bus stop! I also loved the skyliner when it was working.
The food court is a food court. It certainly doesn't blow my mind but it also gets the job done.
We love this resort for the value it is and will definitely return.
Pros:
Price, Bus System, Skyliner, Fun Pool & ActiviitesCons:
No Hot Tub for Me, No slides for kidsReviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 02/21/2020

We stayed here for President's Day weekend. Chose Pop for the rate over the holiday weekend and for the skyliner. First time we stayed in a value resort. The refurb is nice. By having the Murphy bed up, the room space was fine. With bed down, it seemed really small. The walls are really thin which means the noise level was not good. You can hear neighbors as well as groups arriving back late at night or up early. Did not try food court so no comment on that. Our room was in the 80s section which was not too far from skyliner. Having the skyliner to Epcot was great. We drove to Studios to get boarding pass. If noise level was better, I would rate higher.
Pros:
Price, skylinerCons:

We have stayed at Pop Century for two of our vacations back in 2018 and 2019. The theming of the hotel is great! We stayed in the 70's section both vacations. Pop Century is affordable! There are 3 different pools, but we love the Hippy Dippy Pool! Every night when we would come back from the parks, we would always get some food at the Food Court. Towards the end of the night around 11 PM and 12 AM, the Food Court does have limited food options. The rooms can be small, but we have 4 people in our family and we were just fine. Our family is mostly at the parks the whole day. We really only spend the morning and night hours in the hotel room. The hotel staff is very friendly! Overall, I would completely recommend Pop Century!!!!
Pros:
Theming is great Skyliner Resort AffordableCons:

We just stayed here the week of President's day 2020. I thought this resort, for being a value resort, was awesome. The close proximity to the Sky Liner was so nice. The resort was clean, the staff was always very nice to us. The housekeeping was not the best, they never cleaned our room until late in the afternoon which made it difficult for naps. All in all, for the price, I would definitely stay here again.
