Review of Pop Century Resort (Value Resort)

We've stayed at Pop Century in the past, but it has been quite a while. Frankly, I do not think you can go wrong with any of the value resorts. They are all clean, cutely decorated and fun! We stayed at Pop for 3 nights in April 2016. Absolutely no issue with our room. It was very clean and neat. Service was great. We had a good check in experience. We went to concierge desk a couple of times for questions and we were also served well there. The resort is lovely and so cute. The food court is great - plenty of choices. The shop was also cute and good. We utilized both the shop and the food court.
Bus stop often would lend to extra waiting and/or full bus with the need to stand. That can happen at any resort, yet it does seem that the value resorts are where you'll find the most crowded bus. Maybe just perception. Anyway, not a huge problem.
The only slight issue we had with this resort was pertaining to our transfer to the Beach Club Resort. We have never moved from one resort to another - this was the first time. We were told that Pop would transport our luggage from there to the Beach Club. They told us a time frame of 1-3 pm. However, at 4:00 then 5:00 no luggage was received at the Beach Club. The Beach Club told us that the bags hadn't yet arrived at the resort, so obviously they couldn't deliver what they didn't have.
I am just not sure what happened or why our luggage was not transported when they said it would be, but we did eventually get it later on that night. In the future, I may consider just bringing my own bags should we change resorts mid-trip.
Otherwise -the POP century is a great resort. We love it and would return.

Breakfast was all delicious. Cinnamon rolls, chorizo eggs, asparagus all excellent. Large choice of item. Nutella, caramelized banana crepe was to die for. Excellent gracious service from beginning to end. Characters were great with our 15 month old granddaughter who was watching Mickey Mouse clubhouse while she ate. She was a little startled to see them on the iPhone and then have them standing behind her. It was a magical morning just like Disney used to be. Just a little too pricey.

We used this again this year. They texted me when the order was ready. The order was delivered to our room immediately by the bellman. The food was fresh. We got exactly what we ordered.

This was the first time we have ever stayed at the Beach Club. We absolutely loved it!!!!! It was so lovely and wow the location was outstanding. To be able to walk over to EPCOT was such a wonderful option.
The room location we got was great. We had a garden view. We thought the room was wonderful. ( I do have to say that there were a few housekeeping issues - some things that could have been cleaner on our first day - but after that everything seemed to be fine.)
When we did have to take the bus, we didn't have to wait a crazy long time and we did not have to stand in the bus. Obviously we could walk to EPCOT and also could walk to Studios, which was a good bit further walk. Yet, we still did it a couple of times. Also you have the boat option to Studios as well, and we did that also.
It is a bit slow, BUT you aren't having to walk, so it is all good.
The pool here is outstanding. We took advantage of that one morning and we really loved it. I was so glad we took time out for the pool and water slide. Tons of fun and so beautiful!
We have generally determined that Port Orleans French Quarter has been our favorite resort. . . . and we do love it. . . . . BUT wow, if we are able to swing staying at the Beach Club again, we are all in. It was worth it!!!

This was our first trip to Teppan Edo. We really did enjoy it. The food was so good! Then of course the fun of the chef and his cooking presentation was outstanding!! We had only a little tiny brief wait before they took us to our table. Our chef was wonderful. He really put a lot of fun into our meal. My husband and I were seated with a lovely family that was mom, dad two sweet little girls and their grandparents. Everyone at our table enjoyed the show as well as the food. It was a wonderful experience.
We have hibachi grills that we frequent at home and I really feared that this meal would be exactly what I could get at home, however, this was more fun and there was that Disney difference in this meal. We would definitely do this again!!!

We have eaten here many times, and it is always good, therefore we never hesitate to make a reservation on any trip we come. It is consistently good food and a fun location. I got the sampler and it was outstanding. My husband got pork chops and he said it was also great!!!! We did not have the dining plan on this meal, so we did not get dessert.
We did have to wait a little bit for our table even though we did have a reservation but it wasn't an excessive wait. We waited a little longer than I would have liked to -once we were seated - for things like our drinks and then also for our check. But they were busy, so I can't really be unfair and unkind. Our server was very sweet and we liked her. She didn't necessarily go nuts with the whole Mom's table gag, etc. But we have found that to be the case often because we are just a couple of adults with no kids. Sometimes the servers don't play around too much with us - even though we would invite and enjoy the fun.
At any rate - good quality meal and an enjoyable evening.

This was the first time we had eaten at this location. I had nachos and my husband had fish tacos. We were both very pleased with our selections. Also on the meal plan we got dessert so we had churros. They were also great!! We would definitely try this place again. It was busy that day but we were able to locate a table outside. The birdies enjoy this restaurant too. 🙂

This is a spot I always enjoy stopping at for lunch. I have never had a bad meal here. They have a lot to choose from and it all looks so good. This time I had a bacon egg and cheese croissant. It was great. On the dining plan, you also get a dessert, so I had the lemon tart. It was delightful. Love this place and will continue to come here on each trip!!!

This is a pretty good go to spot for a relatively quick meal. Not a huge menu, but did have different types of food. I got an Asian salad. It was actually really very good!! My husband really wanted to Star Wars Darth Vader cupcake there, so we got that as well. He said it was great! (He got another one later in the week.)
It was so crowded at this location - but there were a number of ordering stations. Some people weren't paying attention and were standing behind just two or three registers instead of spreading out among the registers. Once I realized that, I moved over to a shorter line and it went more smoothly. Also had some difficulty finding a table. . .but finally did.
This isn't a bad option for food - they do have a hamburger, but they also have an option if you are looking for something other than that.

This place is SO beautiful!! It is lovely. The food is great! We had steaks - they were so good. The fries that they serve with the steaks are outstanding. I really enjoyed my meal.
We did have to laugh a little bit at our wait for our food. We kind of sensed that we should have already had our food by now and then we also noticed the table next to us, who were seated after us, already got their steaks. Shortly after my husband I were discussing this amongst ourselves, our server came to us very apologetically to say that our food had been delivered to the wrong table. He assured us that our food was coming soon and he was so very sorry. We understood and were glad that he at least acknowledged what went wrong. Not long after that, the restaurant manager came to our table to apologize as well. She had a fast pass in hand to give us as a way to say they were sorry. It was for use for any ride we selected. Very sweet - not necessary - but we did accept it of course. 🙂
At any rate - our food was great and the atmosphere is so great. I would recommend this meal and location!
