Retired - what is the quiet time of year at Pop Century ?

[pooh2001]

We are retired - we can visit WDW any time of the year - but we are snow birds - Dec-Jan-Feb-March are out because of snow storms and flights do not mix well

How is April, May - October-November months for Pop Century ?
Are there any sports, cheerleaders, band, high school, at Pop Century ?

Please tell

Also does WDW still run the Minnie Van car service for $25 a ride one way ?

Thank you for any help

Honestly, Pop Century does not have a quiet time any longer since the Skyliner opened. It runs at/near capacity at all times. It is more expensive than the All Stars so less likely to have teams staying there but occasionally they do.

We find late April/early May a beautiful to tine to be there but Easter is very late in 2025 which will likely I crease crowds for a bit in late April.

I would go with the beginning of April. Before Easter. I also would chose Port Orleans French Quarter if you are looking for a quiet resort. It's the smallest and quietest Disney resort. My second choice would be November after Veterans Day and before Thanksgiving week

Unfortunately, no, the MV now have variable pricing based on distance between pickup and drop-off locations. You order through the Lyft app. If you open the app now and enter a pickup and drop-off location on WDW property, you can see what the charge would be for that particular ride.

The resort itself always seems the same to me crowd wise no matter what time of year we travel. I think you’ll have a better chance of not running into tour groups in October/November over April/May when grad trips are planned.
