Disney World is in a constant state of change, and that means that construction is inevitable. While sometimes inconvenient, construction usually leads to even better experiences once it is done.

A beloved Disney World hotel is adding construction walls to its decor beginning today and we headed over to check out what the construction looks like!

Construction at Disney’s Pop Century Resort officially began today. Pop Century’s food court, Everything Pop, is scheduled to undergo construction from July 29th through September 29th, 2024.

The food court is expected to remain open during the construction, however, there may be disruptions to the entrances of the food court, and seating may be limited throughout the construction. Guests are also asked to use the Mobile Order option in the My Disney Experience app to place their orders for food and drinks.

While we were at Pop Century, we also took a look to see if the food court menu was impacted at all. Everything Pop is offering a more limited menu during the construction. While the menu is a bit more limited there are still plenty of options including burgers, salads, pizza, sandwiches, and more. Although it does look like they are not currently offering their old plant-based options which included an Impossible Burger and a Plant-based Tuna Sandwich.

Inside of Everything Pop food court you can definitely tell that the area is undergoing construction. The only areas that are accessible inside are the Mobile Order pick-up area, beverage station, utensils stations, and most of the indoor dining.

While most of the indoor seating is still available for use, the main food court serving area is behind construction walls. As a result, you will need to Mobile Order your food and drinks from Everything Pop. 

There is a new pick-up area inside of the food court. From what we could see, the main impact of the construction will be in the serving area. Guests will still be able to Mobile Order food and drinks and utilize the dining area to eat.

While Everything Pop is undergoing construction, the Fast Forward Arcade is offering a Grab ‘n’ Go area. You can grab a variety of snack foods throughout the day. From 7AM until 11AM you can grab breakfast items including bagel sandwiches, pastries, yogurt, overnight oats, and more.

Then, beginning at 11AM until 10PM, you can choose from a variety of snacks including whole fruit, cheese cup, pastries, cookies, brownies, vegetables, and more.

Additionally, you can find an assortment of other snacks, including cold drinks and pre-packaged Disney snacks.

There are even some frozen treats. There isn’t much that a good ‘ol Mickey bar can’t fix!

There is also additional seating located in the Fast Forward arcade where you can eat or just relax.

The construction is expected to last until September 29th. While you can definitely tell that construction is going on, the hotel is definitely trying their best to still provide a good selection of dining options. We loved that they opened up a Grab ‘n’ Go area inside of Fast Forward Arcade and are still providing the option to Mobile Order from Everything Pop. We will continue to keep a watch on the construction to see if anything more changes as they continue!

Disney’s Pop Century Resort is a value resort that just so happens to be located on the Disney Skyliner. So even though you can still get food and drinks from the Pop Century food court, you can always jump on the Skyliner to grab food from a different resort or theme park. The Skyliner has stops at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort, Disney’s Riviera Resort, EPCOT, and Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Or you can take a quick walk over to Disney’s Art of Animation Resorts for even more options.
