Great location and price. I love that it’s on the sky liner as well as close enough to mk, ak, and Disney springs to drive to or catch a bus. My family drove to these parks so that we could catch the monorail at magic kingdom and have the best use of all transportation offerings that Disney offers!
Pros:
Great location in proximity to all the parks. It’s on the sky liner. It’s refurbishment gives the rooms a little more space.Cons:
The pool area can be loud, you can hear the neighbors in surrounding rooms, and I hit my shin on the Murphy bed several times in the middle of the night during our stay..although the refurbs provide more room during the day, not so much at night. Also some of the charging ports didn’t work that great and the shower door wouldn’t close completely.Reviewed by AidanMcG Review Date: 06/05/2021

This is the most recent of our many stays at Pop Century and we loved our stay. There were so many good things to talk about and our room was extremely close to the main lobby as well as the bus station but the skyliner station was a bit of a hike. The one reason that I don’t give the resort a perfect review is the luggage assistance. Despite whether there were 2 guests or 10 guests in front of us we always waited at least 15 minutes to drop our bags off or pick them up no matter how many cast members were there. The food was your typical Disney resort food and everything was passable other than the spaghetti and meatballs which was awful. The room was spacious enough for what we paid and we got everything I expected from this resort.
Pros:
Value, nighttime activities are fun for those with kids, multiple transportation optionsCons:

I stayed there from 4/21 to 4/25. The cast members were amazingly wonderful. I did not have one bad interaction. They brought my luggage to my room and I wasn't expecting it. I stayed in the 70's building B which is super close to the busses and not a bad walk to anything. My experience was great and I am already planning on going back soon.
Pros:
Amazing Cast members! Affordable Skyliner Fun ThemingCons:

Just returned from 7 night visit there. First time at Pop Century and for the Disney price, it was sufficient for sleeping. The food court was mediocre and the shopping was, in my opinion, very lacking compared to other resorts. (We have stayed at POFQ, CS, AKL and Polynesian. It had the basics but there was very little that was uniquely the "Pop Century". The beds were so, so - when we sat down on them it creaked (we are not overweight, actually a bit under the medical "ideal" weight for each of us). I did like the shower option of normal or the rain shower head. The theming of the grounds was good I always like Lady and the Tramp and the large version there were really nice to see. Pools were rowdy but there was a cheerleading thing going on while there and noise is expected. Only the Skyliner? I am not a fan of heights. Go here for a less expensive option if you want to stay on-World. I believe children will love the theming. Yes, I did enjoy looking at my decade I spent my teenage years in and no, I won't say what decade that was. 🙂
Pros:
Disney "value" price - we came down to make a quick "Revenge travel" to relieve the pent up frustrations of the past year and just wanted a place to stay. The theming is great on the grounds. I did like the waffles, just wished they gave more with the waffle entrée. I was not overly thrilled with the lack of transportation to HS and EPCOT.Cons:
The rooms were so-so, not that themed. The food court was reminiscence of summer camp - crowded and loud with typical amusement park style food. Need to increase bus service to HS and EPCOT, the Skyliner wait can get long. If you want a better resort experience that is not over-crowded with teenagers all around choose a moderate or higher resort.Reviewed by DisneyPJ Review Date: 05/13/2021

Great deal for on property resort. Room was clean and comfortable. The grounds were interesting and clean. Computer Pool was just the right temperature to refresh, but not freeze you.
Pros:
Clean with many pillows. Pool area clean with plenty of towels. Transportation to Epcot on Skyliner a big plus.Cons:
Original check in time was 3:00 P. M. WE didn't get a room until almost 4:00 P.M.Reviewed by James Review Date: 05/02/2021

For what it is, I can’t complain. Very easy to get to sky liner. Upgraded rooms are great!

We only stayed one night but we enjoyed the theming of the hotel a lot! The front desk staff was super nice and got us a ready room immediately. Having the skyliner option was awesome but it is a bit of a walk so if you aren't up for that the buses may be a better option. We LOVED the fried chicken from the dining area. Overall, we'd stay there again.
Pros:
SkylinerCons:
smaller roomsReviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 04/15/2021

We've always loved Pop Century but had not stayed there in a few years. We booked it for a Bachelorette weekend. The refurbished rooms were much more functional. We also loved the Skyliner. I highly recommend it especially for smaller families, couples, or a girls weekend!
Pros:
Skyliner, refurbished rooms, awesome Disney theming, can visit AoA. Price pointCons:
Rooms are smaller, buses take a little longer to and from the parks (bus stops at Parks are farther away from the entrance/exit)Reviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 04/06/2021

I feel like this resort is underrated, as it is such a hidden gem!! The room renovations made to this resort in combination with it being on the skyliner route really makes it one of my top resorts. The price is reasonable and the beds are comfortable! It’s not as overwhelming in size as other resorts are, like CBR, which I appreciated and the cast members are always helpful and friendly. I think it’s perfect all around!
Pros:
Easy access to Epcot and HS, comfortable, very “Disney”Cons:
Can sometimes get crowded at the bus stop.Reviewed by erica59 Review Date: 04/04/2021

Really cool hotel with cool theming. Food options and rooms weren't great but if you spend most of your time in the parks, this hotel will definitely do.
