I stayed at Pop Century from July 17-24, 2021. My traveling party included me, my two sisters (our ages 48-56 years) and our mother (81 years old). We were assigned to Building 5 (in the 1960's), third floor around the corner from the main pool. We had requested adjoining rooms or rooms in close proximity but initially were placed in rooms in separate buildings. After multiple contacts with the front desks, we were given two rooms very close together. We had a short walk to the Skyliner, lobby and food court. The location was quiet even given it's proximity to the main pool.
The room had many charging ports, tons of storage in the bathroom area, beside the beds and above the refrigerator/counter. I found the beds very comfortable, I like a firmer mattress. The walk-in shower was great for my older mother, she did not have to negotiate stepping into a tub. I enjoyed the multiple setting of the shower head. We found the room size very comfortable for two adults.
Food was OK, limited options at the time of our visit.
Hourglass Lake was perfect for a morning or evening run.
The shadowboxes with toys from the different decades in the lobby were enjoyable.
As it was my first plane trip to Disney, we have always driven before, I felt Bell Services could have been a bit more organized/efficient. As I am staying at Pop Century again in June 2022, I'll have an opportunity to reevaluate.
Pros:
Skyliner, clean, excellent mattresses, bright and funCons:

This resort is a perfect spot for those on a budget. The rooms may be small compared to other resorts, but the value is great! Having access to both buses and the skyliner for part transportation is awesome. Even at busy times, we didn't wait more than 20 minutes for transportation.
Pros:
Two options for getting to the parks.Cons:
Rooms are tight - especially with more than 2 adults.Reviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 01/05/2022

I love staying at POP. The theming is very good.my most recent stay here was October 2021, we stayed in the 50s section. It was super quiet, when we called for new towels, they were at our door 5 minutes later. One of the best parts of POP is hands down the skyliner. I will be staying here again and again.
Pros:
SKYLINER!!Cons:

I really enjoyed staying at Pop. The rooms were clean and a good size for me and my husband. The best part of staying there was the use of the Skyliner to Hollywood Studios and Epcot. I would definitely stay there again.

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.
