Spent 10 days at this resort during our last vacation. I was extremely impressed with the resort and it filled all our needs and almost filled all our wants. Since it was only two of us, the room was very spacious and comfortable. We only needed a place to sleep and travel to parks, this resort was perfect for our needs. But our room in the 50's section had lots of storage, two comfortable queen size beds (one a convertable murphy bed that was a table when not in use) and a rainfall shower head and handheld combo in the tub with glass sliding doors. All in all, the room was more like what we expected in a moderate resort.
Pros:
Storage in the room. Glass front mini fridge. Tub and shower combo more like a moderate to deluxe resort room.Cons:
No spa or hot tub in the pool area. Not a big deal but would have been nice to soothe tired muscles after a day in the parks.Reviewed by AFanOfDisneyWorld Review Date: 10/25/2021

We stayed at Pop Century for a week, and loved it. While it doesn’t have all of the bells and whistles of a more expensive resort, it is a great value for a Disney World resort. The room was perfect for 3 people, especially since we only needed a clean place to sleep. The theme is unique, and the skyliner is an excellent perk, providing a quick way to get to Epcot and Hollywood Studios. The cafeteria served its purpose, and we ate breakfast there each day of the trip. The only complaint I could think of is the resort’s size and how far the lobby could be from some rooms.
Pros:
Fun theme; Skyliner; Good valueCons:
Huge hotel that is very spread outReviewed by ktkueb80 Review Date: 10/20/2021

We stayed here for a week in October. We love pop! It is our go to value resort and with the skyliner it is a game changer. We paid extra for a preferred room this time, and even with that it was still a hike to century hall/transportation. It was sold out and very crowded but never got too loud.
Pros:
Great selection of foods/products in gift shop/food court, friendly staff, clean roomsCons:
even paying for preferred it was still quite a walkReviewed by DisneyFreakJME007 Review Date: 10/18/2021

This is one of my favorite resorts to stay on property for a more budget friendly trip. It's not the most fanciest resort on property, but when you are on the go and looking for a place to rest on property, this place is great!
Pros:
SKYLINER! Theming, budget friendlyCons:

If this was a rating for value resorts this would be 10s across the board. perfect location and great pool bar. You have the skyliner and you can walk to AoA to use their bus if needed. This is out go to resort.
Pros:
Skyliner, resort size, and fun theming.Cons:
Food options are slimReviewed by JTTimbs Review Date: 10/10/2021

We stayed for a week in June. Being on the skyliner route is really nice. However, I would not stay here again. We found the resort to be very loud almost 24/7. We also had a few grocery deliveries lost at Bell Services. I actually had to go in the storage room to look for them.
Pros:
SkylinerCons:

This was our first time staying at Pop and we really enjoyed it. We were put in the 70s section, so the walk to both the Skyliner and the lobby were very short. The walk to the parking lot was on the longer side though, and if you plan on driving a lot, 90s would be a good location. We were not on the pool side, which I was glad about, because the Hippie Dippie pool was fairly loud in the evenings, even though crowds were low and the rest of the resort was quiet. The Skyliner was very convenient and fairly quick transportation, and we used it most days.
The refurbished rooms were nice. The bed was comfy, though on the firmer side. One side of the bed creaked when getting in and out, which seemed odd for how recently the rooms were refurbished, but it wasn't a huge deal. The sliding bathroom door also made an odd noise if you tried to open or close it from a half open position, but not if you fully opened or closed it in one motion. Again, not a huge deal, but we usually keep the doors half open, so I felt bad trying to move it while my husband was sleeping (and I have no idea if the people in the room next to us could hear it or not). I loved that the room had so many outlets available, and the mini fridge was great for leftovers. I definitely preferred the vinyl floor over hotel carpet. It felt cleaner than carpet, but also didn't get cold or echo like tile.
It was just me and my husband, so we didn't use the Murphy bed at all, and it was nice to have that table and extra space.
My biggest complaint was that on the morning we were trying to sleep in (until 9am, so not too late), mousekeeping was cleaning the room next door after the guests checked out, and they kept letting the door slam every few minutes. It was just the one day, but the constant thudding for about an hour first thing in the morning was very annoying.
Overall, we were very pleased and will likely stay here again in the future.
Pros:
Skyliner convenience Clean roomsCons:
Loud mousekeeping next door Firmer bed, not as great if you prefer a softer bedReviewed by disneysolotripper Review Date: 09/29/2021

Stayed there in March 2019 for 8 days. When I arrived for early check-in, I had to go to front desk because I live in Canada so MagicBands weren't sent to me. Lady gave me a room number and said it was ready. Couldn't find it for the life of me and then my app also said a different room number. Found 2 mousekeeping interns that were tried helping us but they were also confused. Tried my magicband and it opened both rooms. We figured out which one it was. Sadly, the original room was actually a room I had requested. We ended up having a room facing a parking lot (very noisy) and with noisy neighbours. My luggage also didn't show up until 10pm when I had arrived at 230pm.
The room was very nice and clean. The resort was also great. I would stay there again despite the negatives because I know it is a one-off.
