Al Weiss, president of Walt Disney World Resort commented: "Disney's Pop Century Resort showcases the impact that popular culture has had on our society, so it's fitting that we're opening the 1950s through the 1990s areas of this hotel. Those were the years when the term 'pop culture' really grew to become a part of the American lexicon. Because of the popularity of our other value -- category resorts -- Disney's All-Star Resorts -- and the exciting atmosphere created by the pop culture icons and incredible theming, this is a great addition to our resort inventory."

Larger than life icons of pop items should spread the feeling of pop culture. For recreation the hotel offer their guests a Computer Pool, a '60s-themed Hippy Dippy Pool, a Bowling Pin Pool and a Pop jet water fountain.

Those who maybe thought that pop in terms of music matters will probably be disappointed. Pop from the entertainment manager’s point of view rather includes Rubik's Cubes and Duncan Yo- Yos, or 65-foot-tall bowling pins and 55-foot cellular phones. Maybe they suffered from a lack of inspiration, as we don’t know why they didn’t go for wax figures of Johnny Rotten or Eminem or a 67-foot-big drum set as roller coaster for kids.
