Disney’s Pop Century Resort
Background
At Disney’s Pop Century Resort, guests are transported back in time to visit decades of the 20th Century! From jukeboxes, bowling pins and 8-track tapes, to laptops and cell phones, the memorabilia, crazes, and catch phrases that defined the 20th century surround you at this 2,880-room Value Resort Hotel. Each building is a larger-than-life “time capsule” of pop culture which will take you on a trip down memory lane, from Mr. and Mrs. Potatohead, to mood rings and roller blades, to Lady and the Tramp. Each section of the resort represents a different decade from the 1950’s to the 1990’s.

The resort’s main pool, The Hippy Dippy Pool is the centerpiece of the 1960s section. Disney cast members host daily activities, weather permitted, near the Hippy Dippy Pool. Guests wanting a refreshing drink can visit Petals Pool Bar that also near the main pool.
Located in the 1990s themed area of the resort, guests can take a relaxing swim in a pool which looks like a really oversized computer.
Guests will need to bring their own towels to the resort pools as they are not provided. Towel return bins are there for the guests to use. If you need additional towels in your room, simply press Housekeeping on your room phone and they’ll be delivered to you.
If the kids in your party need to burn off some of their excess energy, take an almost hidden wooden pathway between Classic Hall and building 10 and you’ll find a playground area specifically designed for the youngsters.
