Disney 's Pop Century Resort is a resort located at the Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista , Florida , opened on December 14 , 2003 . It is the fourth value-priced resort in the complex , following Disney 's All-Star Movies , All-Star Music , and All-Star Sports Resorts in the 1990s . The resort is themed around 20th century American pop culture . Original plans anticipated the creation of both the " Legendary Years " and the " Classic Years " to divide the property by the first and second halves of the century , respectively . However , the former section was scrapped after reduced tourism in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks and was redeveloped as a fifth value-priced resort , Disney 's Art of Animation Resort , in 2012
