This was my first time visiting the WDW Resort with one of my friends after graduating college. This resort, although categorized as a value resort, is a great and fun place to stay. With bigger than life models of yo-yos, old school stereos, Foosball players, and Mickey phone models, to name just a few, everyone is bound to have a good time. There was one downfall to the resort which was the slight smell of mold when passing a couple of the trees, but other than that, a great place for friends, family, and fun!

Me and my wife decided to go to Disney World for four nights to celebrate our daughters birthday. I wanted to stay outside the Disney area since we live in so Florida and have our car. She wanted to stay on property. So we agreed to stay the two more expensive nights Friday and Saturday at clarion lake buena vista, about 1 1/2 miles from downtown disney. It was great and cost $60 a night with tax. Two nights there was flawless. So we planned on staying at Pop Century for the next two nights.. The room was located unbelievably (3 minute walk)...far from where our required car parking was. And mind you we stayed in a "preferred" room which was $108 a night. It was smaller than the clarion room we were in before(the front door almost hits the bed when you enter. The decor wasn't nearly as nice and updated as the clarion, beds aren't as comfortable. My iPhone 5 with AT&T didn't get signal to go online or even function to even call most of the time....This was the beginning of my unhappiness. Walls so thin, you could hear everything. Sodas from the machine are $3 ! No free coffee, they wanted $ 2.50 for guests, meanwhile clarion had a machine in our room with coffee supplied. So we checked out the following morning and went back to the clarion. We complained and and got poor excuses. Never again and not worth it. Sorry Mickey, very dissatisfied .

I said after the awful time at Art of Animation I would never say anything bad about PoP again but I just have to ask. WHY DID YOU CHANGE THE MENU??? I looked forward to the Mom's dinners and the Roastbeef and bleucheese sandwich which has been there for years. I was so disappointed when I got to the cafeteria and it had all be changed. Also no pizza for the kids. The room was great the Hippy Dippy Pool Great and the service was great. But the cafeteria is now like Art of Animation and sucks! Make sure you eat in the park before you return to the resort. One night we turned in circles for 30 minutes before we just got junk food and went to the room. We had our minds on Moms dinner and it's gone. Bad move PoP! Go back to the old menu with the pizza, dinners and good kids meals. Then you will be perfect. I would love an answer as to why this is changed. If anyone answers theses reviews please let me know.

This Disney hotel is a delight for kids. They love the over sized Big Wheel, Fooz Ball, yo-yos and more that decorate the grounds. In the main building there is an arcade, gift shop, and fast food court. The food court has a nice variety of selections. The pool area, at the main building, is large and has three life guards. We parked our car and took the Disney transportation to Downtown Disney, Epcot and the Magic Kingdom.The room, itself, was very basic and rather mediocre. The only decoration on the wall is one poster. There is a mini-fridge. The bed was one of the worst I've ever slept on. It is very low, much lower than a normal bed. The mattress was sagging. Also,the "headboard", attached to the wall, was smaller than the bed which was off center to it. This is a nice place to stay with kids. However, if they aren't with you, stay elsewhere.

I'll start out by saying that for the last few trips, we have always stayed at Port Orleans Riverside, and loved it. However, this trip was to be a budget one, so after reading reviews and looking at pictures, we decided to give Pop a try. We are so glad we did!I had requested a fourth floor room facing the lake, any building. When we checked in, we were assigned a fourth floor room in building 3, (50's building) and yes, facing the lake. This was a super location - quiet, fairly close to the buses and food court, and the bowling pin pool was just down the elevator and around the corner. As a bonus, this section of rooms has a perfect view of the higher fireworks from Illuminations every night.We were really pleased with the food court, and actually liked it better than POR's. The tie-dye cheesecake is yummy, and there were good selections to suit any preferences. The honey chicken nuggets/rice/broccoli meal was one of our favourites. The pool was great, and nice and warm. Mousekeeping was fabulous, and left us towel creations several times. She also left us extra towels for the pool without being asked. The rooms are slightly smaller than the moderates, but if you don't spend a lot of time actually in your room, this isn't really a factor. Since it was just the two of us, having double beds instead of queens wasn't an issue either, since we each just took our own bed.The grounds were lusher than we expected, and the path along Hourglass lake is lovely. It's a short walk over to the Art of Animation resort, so if you miss the bus for POP, it's easy to just catch the A of A bus and walk over.We would gladly stay here again, whether it's a budget trip or not.
