Hi Walter,
My family has stayed at
Pop Century many times over the years, always in a standard room, so I'm happy to answer your question and offer my view of my favorite Walt Disney World value resort. It's really easier to describe the preferred rooms: generally those in the '60s section and those in the part of the '70s and '50s sections that are closest to Classic Hall and the Hippy Dippy Pool.
The remainder of the '50s and '70s buildings and all of the '80s and '90s buildings are standard rooms. My family always requests to be in the standard area of the '50s section. We find that the quietest and the closest of the standard rooms to the main pool,
Petals Pool Bar, the food court and the bus stop.
If you will have your car, you'll also find parking convenient for the standard '50s section. It's also an easy walk from there across Hourglass Lake to the
Art of Animation resort. We like to stroll through the grounds there and grab a meal at the
Landscape of Flavors food court there, which has different choices from the
Everything Pop Food Court.
Once you decide which section appeals most to you, I recommend that you make your room request when you do
online check-in.
I hope that helps, Walter. Please let us know if we can answer any other questions for you as you make your plans. Enjoy!
Wilma
