Pool Closure at Disney’s Pop Century Resort
By Dave Shute
This site recommends that first time family visitors stay in Disney’s Polynesian Resort if they can afford it, or at Disney’s Pop Century Resort if they are on a tight budget.
Dale emailed me recently.
He had heard that Pop Century’s main pool, the Hippy Dippy Pool, would be closed for rehab from mid-February to mid-March.
He wondered if I thought he should cancel and book another value resorts.
I said no–Pop has three large pools, and will still have two open during the refurb. (See the image.)
These pools may be more crowded than usual, but not enough to require changing reservations.
If a family wants to change reservations anyway, I rank the other three value resorts in this order:
