This will be the last value resort stay for my family I am afraid. The Pop Century was well themed and the staff was very accommodating, but that is where the good times end. To start the lines were very long at the front desk check-in and at the concierge. The CM's were very nice once we finally made it to the desk. The gift shop was packed out all the time, as was the food court, and we looked for a new resort t-shirt to commemorate our trip and all we found was a tie dyed t-shirt that was $28!!OUCH!! The parking was not even close to the room we were in so it took quite some time to get everything unloaded and in the room. There was a foul odor outside of our room the entire length of our visit(mildew and feet!) The walls were very thin as we heard doors slamming, lawn equipment, people outside, toilets flushing, showers running and so on. The maids came in unannounced on several occasions including one time when we had the PRIVACY PLEASE sign on the door and once when our daughter was asleep alone for some extra magic hour restoration time. We were just trying this value resort thing out for the first time but, unfortunately, it will be our last. We just love the quiet and individual attention that the moderate and deluxe resorts provide. Plus there are other perks you do not receive at the value resort when staying at moderate and deluxe. For instance, you get in room package delivery at all moderate and deluxe resorts; at the value resorts you have to go to the gift shop or front desk for purchases you made in the parks. We were just glad that we spent most of our vacation time at the parks and not at the resort. Lesson learned.
TWO YEARS AGO WE HAD STOOD AT THE GRAND FLORIDIAN WHICH WAS A MAGICAL EXPERIENCE. NOW WITH LIMITED FUNDS AND A LAST MINUTE DECISION TO GO TO DISNEY. WE STOOD AT THE POP CENTURY RESORT. WE PAID A LITTLE EXTRA TO GET A ROOM CLOSE TO THE LOBBY. WE WERE EXPECTING THE WORST BUT WERE SURPRISED THAT WE WERE TREATED BY THE STAFF JUST AS GOOD AS THE FLORIDIAN. THE LOBBY IS HUGE AND THE VIDEO ARCADE ROOM WAS A PLUS FOR MY YOUNG SON.THE FOOD COURT WAS LARGE AND WE WERE ABLE TO FIND FOOD AT ALL TIMES. THERE ARE THREE POOLS LOCATED IN THE HOTEL. ONE IS SHAPE LIKE A BOWLING PIN.THIS IS A FAMILY FRIENDLY PLACE AND IS VERY CLEAN AND COLORFUL. SO PICTURE TAKING IS FUN. WE HAVE SEEN THE ALL STAR RESORT AND THE ALL STAR MUSIC AND MOVIES AND THE POPS IS THE BEST. YOU CAN NOT BEAT THIS LOCATION AT THIS PRICE.
With the amount of time you are spending at the parks, you do not need anything more than this hotel. We spent 5 nights there in January, and LOVED EVERY MINUTE of it!!! The Pop has a great variety of food (all counter service or snacks, no table service) and souvenirs. We found the room to be more than sufficient. I appreciated that the sink and mirror were outside the bathroom. It made our mornings go faster as I could be getting ready as my husband was showering. As far as the property being difficult to carry your luggage around, we never had to deal with that. Magical Express delivered our luggage to our room while we were at the park. Upon check out, we arranged to have the luggage picked up from the room and stored while we were enjoying our last day at the park. Easy and stress free. We loved it!!! The only complaint I would have is that the bus stops for Pop Century were basically the furthest away from the park exits, but then again, it is the value resort. I would not hesitate to stay here again the next time we go back. Vist our Disney World® Reviews section for more reviews. Do you want to contribute to the Magical Mountain community?
