Far Out! Disney's Pop Century Resort Unveils Retro Mickey & Friends Lobby Mural

Walt Disney World’s Pop Century Resort has reached another milestone in its lobby refurbishment, revealing a new time-traveling mural featuring the Mickey & Friends characters. 

What’s Happening:

•  Earlier this summer, Disney’s Pop Century Resort began a retro refresh of the lobby area. 
• The long lobby area had maintained most of its design elements from its 2003 opening. 

• However, as a part of the refresh, the throwback decor has received some modern touches. 
• The sprawling back wall of the lobby area previously featured framed memorabilia from decades past. 
• Now, the more maximalist aesthetic has been replaced with a celebratory mural featuring Mickey & Friends characters through the different decades the resort pays homage to. 
• Moving through the timeline, Minnie can be seen celebrating the 50s with midcentury fashion and iconography.

• Daisy is embracing the flower-power of the 1960s.

• Goofy has disco fever with a popped collar.

• Pluto is surrounded by totally tubular 80s designs. 

• Donald is looking fly in a fresh 90s backdrop. 

• The changes are a part of a refresh of the resort, affecting nearly every aspect of the guest experience. 
• Back in May, Disney revealed remodeled rooms at the resort, giving the rooms a clean and bright pop-art aesthetic. 
• Around the same time, the Everything Pop Shopping & Dining area debuted a brand new look as well as a new coffee shop. 
• It’s great to see Disney continue to modernize their lineup of value resorts, with Pop Century being one of the best deals on property. 

• While not as cheap as the All-Star Resorts, Pop Century has access to the Disney Skyliner and offers a charming and kitschy vibe that can’t be found at any other Disney resort. 
• For those looking to experience the magic on a budget, Pop Century is definitely one of the best places to stay at Walt Disney World. 
• For those looking to experience the nostalgia of pop culture past, Laughing Place recommends Mouse Fan Travel for all your Walt Disney World vacation needs.
