Hi Ann!
As many of you already know, I LOVE Pop Century! We just returned from a two week stay at Disney World and 1/2 of it was spent at Pop - guess which one my kids preferred??? Pop Century has a wonderful food court, amazing pools and great bus service. The room prices are the icing on the cake!
You mentioned that you had Park Hoppers, but I wasn't sure if you wanted to use one of your days on this particular evening. If you do, Epcot and Disney's Hollywood Studios are the closest parks to your resort - each is 15 minutes away. However, the Magic Kingdom is around 22 minutes away and it exemplifies everything Disney! If think that a dinner at Crystal Palace would be a great way to kick off your vacation. The menus for this restaraunt and many others, can be found at

If you would rather not use one of your tickets, Downtown Disney is also 15 minutes away. We love to spend our first night eating at either the brand new T-Rex Cafe or the Rainforest Cafe. After dinner, we love to shop around and soak in that "Disney Magic." Best of all, admission to Downtown Disney is free! Have a great trip!
Much pixie dust,
Jackie S.
