LOVE LOVE LOVE!! Pop Century feels like our home away from home. Our family loves the theming of the resort, which really makes you feel like you are in Disney. The Hippy Dippy pool is super fun and my girls love doing the Mickey tye-dye activity. The food court is your standard Disney quick service food, but I have picky eaters so it works for us. The addition of the skyliner system here has been a GAME CHANGER! My girls LOVED it! They asked to ride it several times when we had no where to go. Lol. Not really sure if this would make anyone decide to stay here but the smell that they pump through the lobby is my favorite!!! Tip: ask to stay in building #6 (70's section), it is close to the main building, as well as the skyliner!
Pros:
SKYLINER, fun theming, fun pools and activitiesCons:

We absolutely loved staying at Pop Century. We stayed from August 24th to the 28th, 2021 and we found it to be fairly quiet (as were the parks!). We had no waits at the Skyliner in the morning and no waits for the buses in the morning. Sure this is just a kitschy motel but it had plenty of personality to spare. The room was small but for only 2 people it was perfectly fine. We came back to the room in the afternoon to freshen up every day and then we were back at the parks until closing. No issues with the room itself; everything was clean. Nothing too loud at night and the beds were comfy. We were in the 70s section (which we requested) so we didn't have to deal with noise from the pools. A quick 5 minute walk to the buses or skyliner was a plus. Will definitely be staying here again!

skyliner station heck yeah!Cons:

Great place when the main plan is the hit the parks. My wife and I have stayed here multiple times on short trips by ourselves, because we typically open and close the parks. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and quiet enough. The quick service food court has great food and snacks, and the pool is a great area to cool off and play. Kids everywhere, not a place for relax
Pros:
Skyliner, fun theming that isn't character-centricCons:

You get what you pay for. If you’re only in the room to sleep this hotel is worth every penny. The addition of the skylines really helps because the busses here IMO were very slow and very crowded. Pool was just that a pool, serving it’s purpose.
Pros:
Price. Skyliner.Cons:

Based on our April 2020 stay with 2 Adults, no kids
If you're on a budget this place will give you an updated and clean place to stay, Fer Shure.
I loved all the characters and theming all over the resort. Some of the music was funny to hear because it seemed out of place at Disney.
We had paid for a Preferred room, which means close to the lobby not the Skyliner FYI. Being close to the lobby was great for transportation via bus since it’s all in one place.
The room was smaller than a standard hotel room and there wasn’t much space to put your things accept for under the bed. I liked some of the storage to the side of the vanity but found the vanity itself awkward to use and get ready. Plus there’s only one sink. There’s also a gap under the camode/shower room door that allows you to hear everything happening in there…
The food court was generic but consistent, however I had multiple problems with mobile order. We decided to hop on the Skyliner one afternoon and picked up dinner at the Riviera QS instead.
We like to enjoy the pool during our stays and these were all busy and quite a walk from our room.
Pros:
Easy bus system, Skyliner AccessCons:

This is a great value resort. We stayed in August 2017. It has dedicated buses, and now the skyliner. Pools are big and theming is good for a value resort.
Pros:
Dedicated buses Low price Good counter service foodCons:

Hotel was fine your typical value resort. We stayed in the 80's section and enjoyed the theming. Cast members were great. Food court food was nothing special. Pizza might have been the worst pizza on property. Having the sky liner was a huge value to this resort. Would recommend for a family stay not for couples.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this resort! Stayed here Nov. 2020 during the height of covid. Although the food options were minimal and there was no self-serve beverage stations, the location next to the skyliner and refurbished rooms made it completely worth every penny. Can’t wait for my next trip in April 2022!
Pros:
Location with Skyliner Access, Beautiful refurbished rooms (No Carpet!!!), Price for on-site Disney hotel.Cons:
Not really anythingReviewed by TeamMolly Review Date: 07/14/2021

We stayed here in June 2021. We end up staying in the 90's theme section. I couldn't believe how far away it was from the center hub. Although the rooms were a bit on the smaller size, it was very clean. It was nice to have the small refrigerator. The beds were comfortable and we had alot of pillows to choose from. Having the Skyliner at the resort was a plus! My only complaint was that the pool was filled with so many bugs.
