DISNEY'S POP CENTURY RESORT, Lake Buena Vista

Disney'S Pop Century Resort - A themed 2880-room Lake Buena Vista hotel with pop culture decor, three pools, and Disney transportation

Located in the Walt Disney World Resort area, this enormous 3-star property spans multiple decades of pop culture, from the 1950s through the 1990s. The centerpiece Hippy Dippy Pool features flower-shaped water jets, a kiddie pool, and a pool bar, while two additional themed pools - the 1950s Bowling Pool and 1990s Computer Pool - provide more swimming options. Disney'S Pop Century Resort houses seven food stations in the Everything Pop Food Court, serving pasta, flatbreads, salads, and American classics. Each building showcases oversized icons of toys, dance crazes, and catch phrases from the 20th century. All rooms include mini-fridges, flat-screen TVs, and either two double beds or one king-size bed. The Lake Buena Vista hotel offers direct access to major attractions via Disney Bus Transportation and the Disney Skyliner gondola system. Major destinations including Epcot Center, Magic Kingdom Park, and SeaWorld Orlando are 10-15 minutes away by car.
