Warning for Guests Staying at Disney’s Pop Century

Warning for Guests Staying at Disney’s Pop Century

Are you counting down the days until your next trip to Walt Disney World? If you have plans to stay at POP Century, you will want to check out the current change for the next several weeks.

Refurbishment sparks dread around the Disney Parks. From time to time our favorite attractions are closed for a minor or sometimes major refurbishment.

While Guests prepare for upcoming Disney vacations, much time is devoted to selecting the perfect Resort and dining locations for their trip. What Guests may not always consider are current refurbishments scheduled for their Disney Resort.

Although unwelcome, these refurbishments are needed. Typically, Disney provides advanced warnings for work so guests may choose a different resort, but now an ongoing refurbishment is extended even longer at Pop Century.

This summer, Walt Disney World sent emails to guests with upcoming stays at POP Century that the Everything POP Food Court will close for a refurbishment starting July 29th through late September.

It now appears that what seemed to be a minor refurbishment is taking a bit longer than expected. With us now at the end of September, guests with upcoming stays at POP Century discover that this refurbishment is still in the works.

The Everything POP Food Court will continue this refurbishment until November 30, 2024. If this reopens according to plan the refurbishment will have lasted for 4 months.

During this refurbishment, the Everything POP Food Court will remain open. Food and beverage orders must be placed using Mobile Order on the My Disney Experience app.

Alternate entrances will be in place and Disney shares that additional seating will be available for guests. The beverage stations will remain available to guests.

Edited to add: On October 1, 2024 the POP Food Court reopened, but guests had to use alternate entrances. Disney still reminds guests that the refurbishment will continue with entrance changes and limited seating until November 30, 2024.

We arrived on Monday 9/30. Had we known about the extended closure, we would have chosen a different resort.

Sorry for the inconvenience on your trip. Although this inconvenience is less than magical, I hope the rest of your stay and vacation goes well.

We stayed there for the first time last month. Everything was mobile order. Is this not the case normally?

Typically, guests can do both Mobile Order and order in person. Hope you had a great stay at POP Century and a great Disney vacation.
