A lot of construction is happening in Disney World right now, not just in the parks, but also at some Disney World hotels.
Pop Century Resort
In fact, two hotels are currently getting brand-new lobbies. Now, we’ve seen big progress on the new lobby at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort, but now we’re going to show you a look at how the lobby work is going at Disney’s Pop Century Resort, and you’re either going to love it…or hate it!
The last time we visited the Pop Century lobby, it was already looking a lot different. In the past, that back wall was lined with shadowboxes filled with period-specific memorabilia to match the theme of the hotel (basically: America through the decades). But now, that decor has been replaced by these new character murals with Daisy and Minnie. Now, we were told by Cast Members that we’ll soon be seeing MORE new murals with Mickey, Donald, and Goofy, but those aren’t ready just yet.
Pop Century Resort — Lobby Refurbishment in Progress
Well, we visited again and noticed some MORE updates to the lobby. Now, each check-in desk has a retro word behind it representing a different decade, like this one that says “cool.”

This check-in desk says “groovy.”
Groovy
Another one says “neato.” These are SO fun, right?

There are also now two communal tables flanking the check-in desks.

The kids’ area has a fun TV screen built into the wall surrounded by fun artwork from Disney movies and TV shows.

There are also some new plush seating areas if you just need to rest your feet for a bit. As you can see, though, the area is still partially under construction.

You’ll even spot some new, fun artwork on the walls.

Now, there’s still a little more work to be done, and some parts of the lobby are still behind black curtains. We can’t wait to see what the whole thing looks like when it’s complete, but we’re already loving this transformation. What do you think? Do you miss the old design, or are you all for the makeover? Here’s one last look at the OLD design. Say goodbye!
