Im sure I’ll get used to it, but yeah, I definitely prefer the old look too.

I like the bright look of the new. Also like the less busy floor.

National High School Cheerleading Championship is February 7-10 and Pop Century is one of their Resorts and also February is one of the months when the 15s come from South America.
Hard to say how many of each will be staying at Pop.

we’ve been there in those weeks 2 different times and would not hesitate to go then again. We were there with the ‘15’s’ but had zero challenges with them!

I actually really like the new look -- other than those crazy tables. I'll have to spread out some napkins to cover the table when we eat there. Looking at it makes me dizzy.

Thanks for sharing this!
I will say I still like it! To me it fits the 'POP' theme of the resort with it's bright colours and mid-century modern theme better than the former look.
Now I hope they add some new items to the menu but, not holding my breath for that. But, a girl can dream...

Ok I’m a bit confused I had thought the food court was reopening then I read not till end of Nov but now I’m seeing pics of people in the food court. So is it still all closed?
Our trip is mid Nov and I thought the closure wouldn’t affect us but then heard it’s been extended.

Ok, Thank you! partially open is better than nothing! I just hadn't paid much attention all this time to the refurb because it wasn't during our dates and then got extended.

I also love the new look. Goes so much better with the theming of the resort. Someone mentioned it looks like Cabana Bay. That was my first thought also, which I love. Earlier this year staying at Cabana Bay I thought to myself "this is what POP should look like".

Thanks. We had to cancel our Fall 2024 trip due to a foot injury but hope to rebook for 2025. Glad it is still there.

Here at Pop now. Fierce gusts of wind and very very rainy!!! As you all probably know by now the parks and Disney Springs were closed at 2 and the food court was crazy busy after that. They did seem to have food for everyone though - seating is another thing because the renovation is still going on. Along with the tables in the food court they put tables out in the lobby and in the arcade. Remember that due to the renovation you can’t get into the food court through Classic Hall and can only get in from the outside doors. There was a sign in the food court that said “Plan ahead. Purchase meals for breakfast and lunch. Resort hotel amenities will be unavailable during periods of time where we need to shelter once the storm winds intensify.” Early this morning they were selling a loaf of bread and a jar of peanut butter and jam packaged together for $10 in the gift store, but I didn’t come into the food court, so I don’t know if they were selling that there as well. Tonight they did have boxed breakfast and boxed lunches for sale so you could take them back to your room for tomorrow. I will say communication wasn’t great about the boxed food and how Pop was going to be operating during the storm. A lot of what people knew was more from word of mouth and watching one person to another. I did see Goofy in the Pop check in area entertaining the kids earlier. They closed everything at about 8pm and I believe we are in a curfew situation now and are supposed to stay in our rooms. With everything I have said I know this is an unusual situation and many staff are here helping guests and I hope everyone stays safe!

Pop is more challenging during a hurricane than some of the other Disney resorts due to room doors opening to the outdoors. We were there in the past when a hurricane was possibly forming so stocked up a bit but ended up not needing it.
Hope everyone there stays safe and that things are soon back to normal.
