Disney's Pop Century Resort

We're still more than 2 years out from the vacation, but I had the itch to publish something worthwhile on the blog. Although the plans are of course still very much fluid, one element that seems unlikely to change is my resort recommendation for our stay.

Pop Century is one of Disney's newest resorts, and the largest on-site “value” resort. To get the negatives out of the way, Disney has resorts that are nicer, have better transportation options, and bigger rooms. And I'm not a huge fan of the colour-clashing décor, although I'm sure the kids will love it.

Now the good: Pop Century is inexpensive, has great family theming, has several very large pools (one with a pool-side bar), and is the newest and most spacious value resort. The resort features “giant icons that salute many of the 20th-century popular culture crazes,” such as a jukebox, yoyo, Mr. Potato Head, and Disney characters like Lady & The Tramp and Mowgli from The Jungle Book. It took me a while to warm up to the idea of staying at a value resort, but I really think everyone will enjoy POP Century.
