Disney’s Pop Century Resort
Disney’s Pop Century Resort is a resort located on Century Drive at the Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida (near Orlando). The resort is themed around 20th-century American pop culture.
Original plans anticipated the creation of both the “Legendary Years” and the “Classic Years” to divide the property by the first and second halves of the century, respectively. However, the former section was closed after reduced tourism in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks and redeveloped as a fifth value-priced resort, Disney’s Art of Animation Resort, in 2012.
