TIPS FOR DISNEY'S POP CENTURY RESORT

Rooms are in the process of being refurbished with hardwood floors, a pull-down Innovabed (table bed), illuminated bathroom mirror, and new decor. Rooms in the '90s are complete; renovations should be finished by May 2018. You can request a refurbished room.
 

The 33-acre lake beside this resort is an added perk for a value resort—the equivalent All-Star Resorts have no ponds, lakes, or rivers. Frequent park benches line the path, and “roadside” signs note landmark cultural events of each era.

Across the lake is Disney’s Art of Animation Resort, which features 2000 rooms, more than half of which are family suites with living rooms and bedrooms. Themes include The Lion King, Cars, Finding Nemo, and Little Mermaid. This resort opened May 2012.

Epcot’s IllumiNations fireworks are visible across the lake. Best views are from the ‘50s buildings—try the fourth floor!

Food court patrons are treated to a dance routine performed by the resort’s cast members at breakfast and dinner! They do the Twist at 8:00 am and the Hustle at 6:00 pm. Be there or be square!

NOTES FOR DISNEY'S POP CENTURY RESORT

A children’s pop-jet fountain is tucked away in a corner between the ‘60s and ‘70s—look for a statue of Goofy and a red Corvette.

Plan to either carry your own luggage or wait a while (perhaps 45–60 minutes) for the resort’s luggage service to drop it off at your building. Arrangements to pick up luggage on your departure day should be made the night before.

Self-service laundries are located near each pool. See "Laundry" on page 35 for details.

Check-in time is 4:00 pm. Check-out time is 11:00 am.
