Buildings by Decade

Each group of buidings at the Pop has a different theme. Each is themed by a decade. Here's a rundown of what you will see.

1950's - features dancing "sock-hoppers" on the side of the buildings, massive bowling pins, and a bowling pin shaped pool, a 40-foot tall jukebox that blares early rock-and-roll tunes. Forty foot tall Lady and The Tramp figures smile lovingly at each other in the courtyard. ("Lady and the Tramp" was released in 1955.) The saying along the top of the buildings include, "Be Bop, Rock n Roll, Sock Hop, Hoop Skirt, Hang Loose and The Most!"

1960's - Tie-dye and psychedelic colors rule the 60's section of the Pop Century. Play-Doh cans, Baloo and Mogwgli (from the Jungle Book) tower over the flower shaped swimming pool. Duncan Yo-Yo's also are all around. Sayings from the 60's include "Groovy, Tye Dye, Out of Sight, Nice Wheels and Peace Man."

1970's - The Big Wheel rules the courtyard in the 70's section. Eight-track tapes demonstrate the chosen music of the decade, while rows of foosball men are lined up in the courtyard. Mickey Mouse makes a big appearance as a telephone. Sayings include "What's Your Handle, 10-4 Good Buddy, Polyester and Smile"

1980's - Rubic's cube the great puzzle of the 80's dominates the 80's section. There are several different cubes showing the progression of the solution. The 80's is combined with the 90's.

1990's - Giant computers and cellular telephones decorate the courtyard that's shared with the 80's section. Sacks of "floppy disks" surround the pool which is in the shape of a computer. Sayings on the 80's/90's buildings are "Keep it Real, Fer Shure, Hip Hop, To the Max and The Net."

The Disney Pop Century is decorated with loud colors. There's nothing subtle here. It's a great place for kids.

Guest Rooms

The accommodations here are standard hotel rooms. They measure 260 sq. feet. They are very functional, but there is not any wasted space.

These rooms are the same size as the All Star Resort rooms. They are reasonably comfortable for a family of 4, but not 4 adults.

Rooms are painted to match the decor of the building. Tile colors, borders and wall colors will change depending on the building you are assigned.

Number of guests per room

Disney hotel rules allow 4 guests per room. You can add 1 infant that can sleep in a crib. If you have more than 2 adults, Disney charges a $10.00 per night per adult fee. (4 adults would be an extra $20.00 per night.)

Money Saving Tip: If your family has more than 4, or you just want some extra space on your Disney World vacation, reserve 2 rooms. Disney only requires one adult per room. You can request connecting rooms, the Pop Century has over 700 connecting rooms. Two rooms would give you 520 square feet which is more space than any other regular room at Disney World. PLUS you would have two bathrooms. (Read about Dad's first Pop experience.)

What's in the room

The accommodations at the Disney Pop Century are equipped with everything most travelers need for a great Disney World vacation. There are 2 types of rooms available, Standard and Preferred. The only difference between the types is the proximity to the Classic Hall.
