Six Things You Didn't Know You Could Do At Disney World's Pop Century Resort

Listen, I know you don’t choose Disney’s Pop Century Resort for luxury. Sure, it’s one of the most popular hotels in Disney World. But it’s not because of a lobby with stunning decor and soaring ceilings. It’s not because of uber-high thread-count bed linens or spacious hotel room layouts. It’s not because of a high-end steakhouse or deluxe spa on site.

Nope. The main thing that drives Pop Century’s success is that this hotel at Disney World is decidedly NOT any of those things. At its core, Pop Century is a motel on Disney World property — and it is cheaper than many other hotel rooms you can reserve for your trip. But don’t be fooled. It’s still one of the most fun places to stay at Disney World, and it’s packed with personality and hidden surprises that make it totally worth exploring.

Whether you’re staying here for your next Disney vacation or just stopping by for a visit, here are six things you didn’t know you could do at Pop Century Resort!

1. Eat Tie-Dye Cheesecake

You can’t talk about Pop Century without mentioning its most iconic dessert, the Tie-Dye Cheesecake! This colorful treat has been a fan-favorite for years, and it’s just as groovy as it sounds. Layers of vibrant cheesecake sit on top of a moist red velvet cake base, creating a rainbow slice of happiness that’s as Instagram-worthy as it is delicious. You’ll find it at Everything POP Shopping & Dining, the resort’s food court, and trust us, it’s a must-try whether you’re staying at Pop or just visiting for a snack stop.

2. Play Twister (Yes, Really!)

Pop Century isn’t just themed after decades of fun, it actually lets you relive them! Right outside the food court, you’ll find a giant Twister board and spinner, ready for you to jump right in. It’s a playful, oversized version of the classic game, perfect for some silly competition with friends or family. Where else can you challenge your travel buddy to “Right Hand Red!” before grabbing dinner?

Twister, anyone?

3. Order a Large Pizza

Did you know you can order a whole large pizza at Pop Century? Whether you’re feeding a hungry family after a long park day or just craving a late-night comfort meal, you can grab a full pizza right from Everything POP. It’s a great value for groups, and even better, you can enjoy it back in your room, poolside, or while watching the Skyliner glide by. (Pro tip: order ahead using Mobile Order on the My Disney Experience app for the smoothest pickup!)

4. Swim in a Computer

Yep, you read that right! Pop Century’s Computer Pool is one of the most underrated and coolest spots to take a dip. Shaped like a giant computer complete with a keyboard and floppy disks (remember those?), it’s themed perfectly for the ‘90s section of the resort. The Computer Pool is a bit quieter than the main Hippy Dippy Pool, making it a great spot to relax while still soaking in those playful retro vibes.

5. Head to Another Resort for Dinner

One of Pop Century’s biggest perks? Location, location, location! Thanks to the Disney Skyliner, you can easily hop over to the BoardWalk area for dinner and drinks. In just a few minutes, you can grab a treat from The Cake Bake Shop Bakery, order a steak at Flying Fish, or enjoy small plates at AbracadaBar. It’s a fantastic way to mix up your dining plans without heading into a park, and a stroll along the Boardwalk makes for a great night.

6. Eat Ice Cream Out of a Truck

Get ready for one of the sweetest (and cutest!) treats you can find at Pop Century — the Ice Cream Truck Sundae! This massive sundae costs $27.79 and comes with your choice of soft-serve, chocolate sauce, whipped cream, rainbow sprinkles, cherries, and SNICKERS bar pieces, all served inside an adorable Mickey’s Ice Cream Truck souvenir. The best part? The ice cream sits in a plastic tub that fits right inside the truck, keeping everything neat and tidy. You’ll find it in the newly added ice cream section inside the food court, and while it’s definitely a splurge, it’s the perfect over-the-top dessert to share.
