Disney’s Pop Century Resort is a popular Value Resort at Disney World. This fun, larger-than-life hotel is a great place to stay without breaking the bank.

This hotel is themed for some of our favorite decades. Enjoy life from the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s. Even though this is a cheaper Disney hotel option, it still features lots of great perks. Let’s dive into the perks you can expect when you stay at this hotel in 2026!
Early Theme Park Entry
Everyone staying at a Disney World hotel (and select others) can enjoy Early Theme Park Entry. This means you get an extra 30 minutes in the four theme parks before they officially open to everyone else.

It might not sound like much extra time, but it can really make a difference! You might be able to get on one or two rides before the park is even officially open.
Disney Transportation
Pop Century offers special Disney transportation — the Disney Skyliner! It is one of the few hotels that is located at a Skyliner station. The Skyliner can take you directly to EPCOT or Hollywood Studios.

Along with the Skyliner, Disney buses are available to take you to Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, either of the two water parks (depending on which is open), and Disney Springs.
Disney Dining Plan
Guests who stay at a Disney hotel can also purchase the Disney Dining Plan. This is an option only available to those staying at a Disney hotel.

There are two Dining Plan options, the Quick Service Dining Plan and the Standard Disney Dining Plan, and whether they are worth the money or not for your family is dependent on many things. Check out the video below to learn more about the Disney Dining Plan and to help you decide if its worth it for you!
Tie Dye Cheesecake
This groovy and colorful cheesecake can only be found at Pop Century from Everything Pop Shopping and Dining.

This dessert is a fan-favorite, so if you’re staying here, you gotta try it! This is the only place at Disney World that you can get it, so unless you want to make it yourself, try it while you can.
Photo Ops
The entire Pop Century Resort is a photo op! All around the hotel, you’ll see giant, larger-than-life statues that represent pop culture in the decade of the area you’re in. So if you’re in the 80s block, you can get a sweet picture with a Rubix Cube, or if you’re in the 60s block, grab a photo with a yo-yo.

Wandering this large resort is half the fun of staying here! Take a walk down memory lane and get hit with all the nostalgia.

This is a favorite hotel of guests for a reason. While it is very spread out and can be a lot of walking, people enjoy staying here for here for the atmosphere, price, and proximity to the Skyliner. Plus, getting all of these perks makes this a great contender for a place to stay on your 2026 Disney World trip.
