Disney's Pop Century Resort
|
Disney's Pop Century Resort is a resort at the Walt Disney World Resort. It is one of four hotels that make up the
"value resort" group, along with the Disney's All-Star Sports Resort, Disney's All-Star Movies Resort, and Disney's
All-Star Music Resort. The hotel is themed around different decades in American pop culture. Much like the other
resorts within the value category, there are giant versions of various items built around the hotel.
Layout:
Each themed area features motel-style buildings adorned in gigantic (over 3 meters) phrases and iconography of
the particular decade being represented. The resort has 2,880 rooms in ten separate buildings, three pool areas,
and one central area, named "Classic Hall", that houses the front desk, gift shop, arcade and food court. The
Amenities:
Disney Transport buses provide scheduled service between the resort hotel and the theme parks, water parks, and
Downtown Disney. The resort has laundry facilities and babysitting options available. It also has pizza delivery to
guests' rooms as well as cable television. Internet access and refrigerators are available at a charge.[3]
Resort theming:
In the Classic Years section of the resort, each area is themed with a specific decade and giant items related to
that decade. This was originally one of two planned construction phases for the resort, but has become the only
completed area of the resort due to a scaling-back of the project.
