Hi Brooke!
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! I'm so glad you found us and that we can help with some details for your upcoming trip!
Disney's Pop Century Resort is my favorite value resort! You're going to have a great time there! Not only are the pools great - from the
Hippy Dippy Pool to the Computer Pool to the Bowling Pool - you will find just the perfect spot to cool off, take a swim, and relax! Currently, I'm not seeing a schedule which includes a closure of the Hippy Dippy Pool for December 2020. The pool has recently undergone a pretty extensive renovation (earlier this year), so I'm hopeful that it will be available during your stay. Of course, calendars and schedules can change, so it would be good to check in closer to your trip to see if a closure is underway. Even if the main pool does close, the other pools will available for use - so you'll still be able to enjoy a pool day or two!
One of the best parts of Disney's Pop Century Resort is the easy access to the
Disney Skyliner. This new transportation method makes traveling to
EPCOT and
Disney's Hollywood Studios very easy and quick. They are just literally minutes away! Plus, if you'd like to hop over to one of the resorts along the Disney Skyliner route, you can easily enjoy a meal or shopping there! Traveling through the skies is the best way to travel around Walt Disney World!
I hope this helps your planning! Be sure to let us know if we can help with any additional details for your trip!
