I am staying at Pop Century in February. Where in Pop is the best area to stay (i.e. quietest area)? I believe we are staying in a Standard Room. Thanks.

We stayed in the 90's area our first time and found it to be quiet.It's also a short stroll to the bus stop right across the parking lot.We've stayed twice and never found the resort noisy but we always went in value season.It's a great bargain for the price,have fun!

I've stayed in the 50's, 70's and 80's and found all of the areas to be pretty quite. Not once did I ever see or hear the guests on either side of us.

70s is closest to the food court, gift shop and buses.. 80s and 90s aren't too bad in that respect either.

We stayed in the '60s but asked for a room NOT facing the pool. We had a preferred room but I'm sure any standard room you get that's not near the pool will be quiet. We didn't hear a peep from our neighbors.

I've stayed on the back side of the 50's (jukebox bldg) and the 70's (mickey phone) ~ both were quiet. The key is to not be facing the pool. I'm a light sleeper and need quiet. I always ask (and get) 4th floor lake view. Very quiet! Call and add the request to your ressie now.

We stayed in Building 2 on the third floor of the 50's Section and it was great! We could walk out our door and see the fireworks from Epcot.

I've read that anywhere away from the Hippy Dippy pool is pretty quiet. lol Our first stay at POP was in the 60's section, facing the 50's section. Noise was never a problem. We were facing the Computer pool on our last stay, and it was quiet there, too.
