If you are staying at Disney’s Pop Century, there is so much to look forward to, but there’s probably even more than you are thinking about.

Pop Century

This value resort offers fun theming, great pools, and access to Disney’s Skyliner transportation system. Everything POP is a counter-service location that’s open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and most of what’s available here is standard American food court fare. But, if you are looking for more options, we are bringing you the best restaurants near the hotel today — just hop on the Skyliner to get to these!

If you are looking for fine dining, the Yachtsman Steakhouse, over at Yacht Club Resort, does so many things right. The steaks here are some of the best on property and the French onion soup is a bowl of cheesy goodness. From Pop Century, it’s a relatively quick Skyliner trip and you will take the Skyliner to EPCOT and then take a short walk to Yacht Club.

Speaking of fine dining options, Topolino’s Terrace, over at Riviera Resort, is located up on this hotel’s rooftop. Here you’ll find signature dining in the evening, and a prix fixe Character Breakfast in the morning! This restaurant is inspired by “cliffside restaurants of the Riviera,” and has cuisine featuring regional favorites. Another reason to head here on the Skyliner is the rooftop views, especially during EPCOT fireworks!

This one might be slightly further as you will take the Skyliner to EPCOT and then walk to the other side of the lagoon at the Boardwalk Hotel, but could be absolutely worth it. The Cake Bake Shop opened in 2024 and has stolen our hearts with the atmosphere, the decadent treats, and the service. This is the place if you are looking for an elevated experience to celebrate a special occasion.

If you are looking for a unique quick service option, Primo Piatto over at the Riveria is a solid option. This restaurant serves Italian-inspired dishes. We tend to enjoy the Croque Monsieur here, or if you’ll be stopping by for breakfast, you can snack on the Croque Madame. Grab a bite and eat on the lawn outside. We have found lawn games here, and that could be a nice break from the parks.

An honorable mention should be a fantastic lounge, Banana Cabana. You can find this at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort by the main pool, but it has more offerings than your average pool bar. This place is inspired by the festive culture found in the Caribbean. While the appetizer selection is fairly limited, the entrees are a little more inspiring. But the pineapple-coconut bread pudding is the star. This was created by the same chef who made the ‘Ohana bread pudding.
