If you’re going to Disney World soon, you’ll want to double check and see if your hotel will be under construction during your stay!

Let’s go to Pop Century!

Disney World frequently plans refurbishments at the resorts, whether they’re updating the rooms, fixing up the pools, or renovating dining locations and shops. If you check the Disney World webpage for your hotel before your trip, you’ll be able to see if the resort is planning construction during your visit. And for those heading to Pop Century soon, you’ll be happy to know that some projects just wrapped up!

First of all, refurbishment has been completed on the iconic Pop Century sign that stands at the back of Classic Hall, the resort’s main building. This is a photo spot for many folks during their vacation.

During the refresh, the sign got a new coat of paint and some touch-ups to keep it looking bright and shiny. We see paint touch-ups in Disney World pretty frequently, so this is something you might encounter on your trip at your resort hotel.

The other big project that was ongoing at this resort is a refurbishment on the splash pad. The splash pad was closed for a little while to receive routine maintenance and get some touch-ups.

This area is located near the main Hippy Dippy Pool and is great for littles who aren’t potty trained or who don’t swim well. We‘re glad to see it back open and looking fresh!

The only other planned refurbishment or closure at Pop Century currently is a closure of the Disney Skyliner from January 24th-30th, 2027. The Skyliner typically closes for a week each year in the winter to get some maintenance. During that time, complimentary bus service will be available from Pop Century to the spots that the Skyliner services.

Pop Century also recently got a major refurbishment inside Classic Hall with a redo of Everything Pop Shopping & Dining as well as new theming in the lobby. It was a bit controversial, as the resort removed the old-school shadow boxes that showed memorabilia through the decades.
