Pop Century Resort is one of Disney World’s value hotels, so it doesn't have as many dining choices on-site, but that doesn’t mean guests staying here will go hungry!
Whether you're travelling as a family, a group, a couple, or solo, this resort offers plenty of choice to cater to all tastes and on a reasonable budget.
Here we can take a closer look at the dining options served up at Pop Century Resort.
Everything POP
The main dining hub at Disney’s Pop Century Resort is Everything POP Shopping & Dining. This is the resort’s quick-service food hall, complete with a variety of food stations.
In the morning, it's perfect for grabbing a breakfast bite before hitting the parks.
Later, it caters to guests for lunch and dinner with options like classic American dishes, pizza, burgers, hotdogs, sandwiches, salads, pasta, as well as more diverse dishes like mojo chicken, seafood, and sesame chicken.
In terms of prices, it is fair to say that Everything POP is on the budget-friendly side, especially for dining at an ‘on-site’ Disney World resort. Entrees typically range from $11 to $22.
Guests describe the atmosphere as laid-back, and, overall, this spot gets good reviews for being convenient and family-friendly.
Petals Pool Bar
Petals Pool Bar, located by POP Century’s Hippy Dippy Pool, is a popular spot to unwind and take on some refreshments.
Here, guests can sip on tropical cocktails like the Banana Cabana, a classic Piña Colada, margaritas, or a punch cocktail - cocktail prices are around $16 to $18.
The bar also has a selection of beers and ales, and wines.
Petals also serves up light bites such as salads, sandwiches, pretzels, or charcuterie.
