Construction is all around Disney World right now, and yes, that’s a sentence we’ve been saying for several months now, but it’s still true, and will remain so for quite some time.
Pop Century construction
Over at Disney’s Pop Century Resort, we’ve known about the Kiddie Splash Pad being under construction for quite some time (it was originally supposed to be finished late April, and now has been extended through this month), and recently the lobby saw a pretty significant refresh, but the work isn’t over. Now, it appears the front of the hotel is seeing some pretty serious TLC.
The moment you pull up to the front of the resort right now, you’ll see the construction happening. Right now, it appears to just be limited to the actual main Pop Century sign, which is “POP” in big orange letters. It’s a little hard to tell if it’s a paint refresh going on, if the letters are getting some structural work, or what exactly is going on, but we can see that the orange color has been disrupted on all three of the letters at this time.
What’s going on here?
Fortunately, this doesn’t affect the way anyone enters or exits the hotel, though you will have to walk around the blockades that are in place to keep everyone safe. It’s not clear how long this construction is expected to last, but we’ll be keeping a close eye out for you.
What’s going on here?
We also stopped by the pool deck, and sure enough, the Splash Pad is still unavailable to guests. This construction has now been going on much longer than originally anticipated, which does have us a little concerned, especially because we can’t actually see the refurbishment happening.
Splash Pad is still closed

That “POP” sign is not in the front of the resort, it’s in the back near the Petals pool bar. They have been working on it since at least April 9th when I was there.
