I haven't stayed there, but it looks super colorful and fun! If I decide to stay at a value my next trip- I'm booking at the POP CENTURY.

How many people do you have in your family?
How many adults, how many kids?
Do you like very "themed" resorts?
Is a hot tub or pool slide important to you?
Can your family members share a double bed?
Do you need a privacy curtain between the room and the dressing area?
Do you need a fridge in the room?

I don't think my opinion would be much help unless I knew some of those answers.

We stayed there last year and thought it was great! The look and feel of POP was so much fun and allowed us to keep that Disney magic even when we had left the parks for the day. For our next trip, we're trying out the All Stars Movies Resort.

Like Eileen said, it depends on what you're looking for. We don't spend a lot of time in our room, but if you are the type that does, be advised that it's pretty cramped in there (with 4 people). We had just enough room to unpack our clothes and had to store our suitcases on the shelf above the closet, stuff like that.

But it's a fun theme and it's a great value if money is a concern....

The sheets were uncomfy, though. A little scratchy and rough, which surprised me.

Eilenn is right -- a little more info is needed

However, some of my opinions:

If the budget only allows for a Value Resort, POP would be my choice!
Get 2 Connecting Rooms or switch to a ASMu Famiyl Suite if you are going to have more than 4 people in the room or else you will *literally* not be able to move freely around the room all at once

POP is such a fun resort! You can take an afternoon and just walk around to see all the theming! The store is exceptional -- so beware! I can go broke in there! I always find something interesting that isn't sold elsewhere on property. If you like red velvet/cheesecake - the tie-dye cheesecake is to die for!

If it fits your family size and style - you'll have a blast!

i was originally going to stay in one of the value resorts when the trip was just my daughter and i going in june but i invited my parents and they have a laundry list of requests so we are now staying at animal kingdom lodge (they are now paying the additional charges). i don't plan on spending all my time at the hotel so it depends on what you and you're family can live with.

We really like Pop. Price wise it lets us go more than once a year. We spend our waking hours at the parks, do use the pool for the Grandkids and enjoy the pools there. The dish pool for the young kids is really nice. they enjoy that. I have never been dissapointed with Pop.

We really like POP as well. Since we dont spend tons of time in the room, we do value so we can stay longer, buy more, etc....

I agree that it depends on what type of trip you're wanting....... What type of theme, what type of room, will you be in your room a lot or just to sleep, how many people, etc.

while i haven't stayed there yet i say YES!! I'm staying there for the first time in sept.

The pics and theming look so cool.

I have stayed at ASsports and ASmusic and we got a great rate for the military special.

POP seems like alot of fun.

Good luck in your decision.
