Disney is currently in the process of remodeling all of the rooms at the Pop Century Resort and we have a first look inside of the newly remodeled lodging for you today.
We start with a little refresher course for those of you who may not remember what the current rooms at Disney’s Pop Century Resort look like…
I admittedly haven’t stayed at Pop Century since 2012 and the rooms look much worse than I had remembered. Perhaps they haven’t aged very well.
The carpet was looking (and smelling) pretty bad.
The current style rooms feature two double size beds, but that is about to change…
Welcome to the newly remodeled rooms at Disney’s Pop Century Resort, soon what all guest rooms at the resort will look like.
A look from the other side with the second bed pulled down. Both are queen size.
The fold down bed is a table when stood up. These units already exist across the lake at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort.
The entry with new curtains.
Yes, there is no carpet. It makes the room look (and smell) much nicer in my opinion.
The other queen bed sits on a new base that allows storage room underneath.
This new unit by the doorway holds the coffee maker, ice bucket, and new mini-fridge with a see-thru door. This will ensure that you never forget that you have items in the fridge.
“And what do we got on this thing, a Cuisinart?”
When pulled down, the headboard features Pluto sleeping in a Pop Art style. Get it?
There is a light above the bed, inside of the unit, which can be turned on and off via the small switch underneath the Pluto art.
New model phones in each room, as well as plenty of electrical outlets, including USB.
A set on each of the three end tables probably means you won’t have to fight over outlets anymore.
A rather large television can be found above the dresser, which of course has even more outlets. And yes, they now have a resort channel that plays AVATAR 24-hours…

When you are going through the airport, you are bombarded with vending machines selling all sorts of items, including expensive electronics and more. Well, Disney resort hotels are now testing a similar offering, selling small souvenirs through an automated vending machine in the resort lobby.
The first of these machines has shown up in the lobby of Disney’s Pop Century Resort, just outside of the Everything Pop store. The machine went into service about two weeks ago. The idea behind it is that it will allow guests to grab theme park souvenirs fast, or even when the larger store is closed in the late hours of the night and early hours of the morning.
The machine is fairly small, so it just has smaller souvenirs and what might be deemed as vacation necessities. This case shows some of the items for sale.
Sadly the machine was out of order, so we did not get to try it out. When working, you can select the items you want, then swipe your card to buy it. The items will then drop out at the bottom.
The machine isn’t very big, so I can’t imagine that there is a huge stock of any item inside of it.
So, what do you think? Is this a good idea? Should it be rolled out to more resorts?
