Everyone’s favorite value hotel at Disney World is being celebrated for more than just its fun theming, tie-dye cheesecake, and far-out groovy vibes. They’ve thrown a whole party for a select handful of Cast Members marking a monumenous occasion for them AND the hotel.

Disney’s Pop Century recently celebrated its 20th anniversary at Disney World. This hotel opened on December 14th, 2003, and has earned a place in our hearts as the grooviest value hotel that pays homage to all the fashions, catchphrases, toys, and more through the decades from the 1950s to the 1990s.

When Pop Century first opened its doors, its Cast Members welcomed hotel guests with iconic dance moves – and today, 20 of those same Cast Members still work at the hotel!

“I have lots of energy and passion for Disney’s Pop Century Resort,” said Claudia, a Guest Services Cast Member at the hotel. “I love being part of guests’ vacations … the past 20 years working here has been an incredibly rewarding experience.”

To recognize their 20th anniversary at Disney’s Pop Century Resort, the 20 Cast Members spent time together swapping stories and reminiscing over their time at Disney World and their careers. “Pop Century helped me grow as a person and a Cast Member,” said Terri, who is a Concierge Cast Member. “I learn from my fellow Cast Members every day; they are a second family to me.”

One Cast Member Roselie recalls her growth within The Walt Disney Company and said, “On the opening day of Pop Century, I was trained in three different roles – merchandise, the arcade, and food and beverage, and now I am in food and beverage full time,” she said. “My leaders helped me reach my goals and build my skills so I could learn a variety of different roles and grow my career at Disney.”

“Look at the atmosphere, all of the fun theming and special Disney character touches everywhere. Oh, and the Disney Skyliner is here, my favorite! There’s a reason why families keep coming back to stay with us.” said Bob who works at the front desk of the hotel.
