6 Maps That Show the Best Rooms at Disney's Pop Century Resort

What do real estate and determining the best room to stay in at Disney’s Pop Century Resort have in common?

Pop Century

Location, Location, LOCATION!

Finding the perfect room at Pop Century is all about preferences. Instead of there being one ideal, there are actually several spread throughout the resort, each of which is “perfect” depending on what a guest actually wants out of their stay. Luckily for you, we’ve broken out the hotel map and marked down some of the best room types the Value Tier Resort has to offer.

For many guests, the idea room at Pop Century is one closest to the Walt Disney World Skyliner, so they can jump on line as early as possible in the morning… and have the shortest possible walk back to their room when returning to the hotel. The ideal room for the Skyliner would be Room 4160 (or in that rough area). It’s not only close to the station, but it’s also even closer to the location where the Skyliner forms in the morning.

For those who wish to be close to one of the hotel’s pools, there are several options:

The area near Room 5161 in the 1960s buildings is closest to the Hippy Dippy Pool as well as the hotel’s food court, Everything Pop…

… meanwhile, Room 2172 (and rooms in that area) in the 1950s buildings is located closest to the Bowling Pool…

… and Room 7172 (and those close to it) in the 1990s buildings look out onto the Computer Pool.

Finally, guests who want the quietest room possible — away from the hustle and bustle of the pools, food court, lobby, and transportation — those at the back of either the 1950s buildings…

… or the 1970s buildings.

So, once you’ve figured out which of these rooms is for you, how can you get it? The best way to try would be to request your desired room (or the desired area of your room) at the front desk when you arrive at the hotel. Now, you CAN try and call before your arrival, but in our experience, it’s better to do it in person. Also, once you make the request, prepare yourself to possibly wait a bit longer than for a general room.

All that being said, requesting a specific room or area will NOT guarantee you’ll be able to get one. So please, be kind to the front desk Cast Members, they’re doing their best to help you. Stay tuned to DFB for more Disney World hotel tips.
