The Deluxe Hotel Perk You Can Still Use If You Stay at Disney’s Pop Century Resort

Pop Century is one of the most interesting resorts on Disney World property. It offers a unique theme, as well as one of the more complex histories of any on-property hotel.

In addition, despite being part of the lowest price-level Value tier of Walt Disney World Resorts, Pop Century offers a Deluxe-level perk that other Value hotels like the All-Star Sports, All-Star Movies, and All-Star Music can’t possibly match.

Like the other resorts in the Value category, Pop Century’s primary eateries are its food court and pool bar (in this specific case, the recently refurbished Everything Pop and Petals Pool Bar respectively).

However, unlike the All-Star Resorts, Pop Century has something that sets it apart: Skyliner access.

Pop Century and Art of Animation share a station Walt Disney World’s Skyliner gondola line that connects 4 Disney World hotels as well as EPCOT and Hollywood Studios. So what does that mean for food? Well specifically, it means that if you’re staying at either of those resorts, you can choose to skip the food court and hop on the Skyliner for a quick trip to the Caribbean Beach Resort for an all you can enjoy meal at Sebastian’s Bistro…

… which we’d consider one of the better values on Disney Property…

… or enjoy “exotic island flavors” at the Centertown Market.

Of course, if island flavors aren’t tempting your palette, you can instead stay on one further stop and make your way to the Riviera Resort for a litany of dining options including Bar RIVA…

… the “authentic Parisian cafe” Le Petit Cafe…

… and the quick service Primo Piatto.

However, the dining star of the hotel is Topolino’s Terrace.

This rooftop restaurant features a character breakfast in the morning before transitioning to an exquisite French and Italian cuisine menu for dinner, highlighted by stunning views of EPCOT’s nightly fireworks.

Meanwhile, if you’re staying at the All-Star Resorts and you want to eat nearby without hopping on a bus, your only real option is a walk to the massive on-property McDonald’s.

Despite its Value Resort level designation, Pop Century offers easy access to Deluxe-level dining options thanks to the Skyliner. Stay tuned to AllEars for more on Disney World’s hotel options?
