Resort Thread Disney's POP CENTURY Resort

Arrived today. In the 80s section, quick walk to Classic Hall, little longer to skyliner but it's a nice walk! Everything Pop looks amazing but it is DEAD! Prime meal time, like 5 ppl in line. Definitely odd.

Boma was dead tonight, too. Strange.

What time was prime meal time? Pop food court doesnt really get busy at typical dinner time

Pop food court is busiest in the early AM (7-9AM) and later in the evening (7PM-11PM). There are always people there but prime busy periods do not follow ‘normal’ meal times at home.

Disney does a lot of stuff with no notice and for some reason they are the only company that gets away with it.

No other hotel on earth would advise anyone the pool bar will be closed for renovation.

Petals is walled off as of this morning

Is the refillable mug area accessible or behind the walls too? Laundry?

Thanks!

Yes they would. I’ve gotten emails from hotels that their parking lot is undergoing renovation and promptly switched hotels. I’ve gotten emails regarding pool closures and all that also, this are mainly Marriott’s though. Not sure if low tier hotels do the same but I’ve come to expect the notice. They also offer discounts for the issue and/or points. If the gym is closed they have even partnered with nearby gyms to get guests access

I believe @gottalovepluto is meaning other hotels would not share about a bar being closed for purely the reason you describe in that guests may change their reservations.

I appreciate that Disney resorts are transparent about their renovations.

I don’t believe many resorts run at 100% capacity all year long. Pop rarely has capacity to accept reservations with short notice so it’s not easy for them to move people around.

They provide timely updates normally to allow guests to make adjustments as they wish.

I for one am excited for all the updates they continue to make as Pop will soon be a completely renovated wonderful resort!!
