Pop Century Resort has been a Walt Disney World staple for more than two decades, drawing guests with its decade-by-decade celebration of 20th-century American culture. The Value-tier hotel has seen a number of room refreshes over the years, and the latest round of updates brings some noticeable — if subtle — changes to the guest experience.
The most visible upgrade is underfoot: the main flooring has been redone throughout the rooms, and a new patterned accent rug now sits beneath the beds. The room still features its familiar layout with one standard bed and a fold-down Murphy Bed, but the chairs positioned in front of the Murphy Bed when it's closed have been swapped out for a new, funkier design that leans into the resort's retro personality.
Window dressings got a refresh as well, with a new Mickey Mouse curtain in a bold pop-art print now framing the room's window — a small but characterful detail. Standard amenities guests have come to expect remain in place, including the Hey Disney! voice assistant, a beverage cooler, a coffeemaker stocked with coffee and tea options, and a bathroom supplied with Disney-branded toiletry products.
For families planning a Walt Disney World stay on a budget, Pop Century continues to be one of the more appealing options on property — and these updates give returning guests a reason to take a fresh look. If you'd like to compare Disney World resort and ticket packages, it's worth shopping early to lock in the best rates.
