There are preferred rooms which are closer to the main hall and pools, and those are a little more! Folks here will fill you in on the best centuries!

Re: BEST "Decade" in Pop Century ?

We stayed in the 70's building. It was nice because it was in-between the main pool & the computer pool....the only bad thing was our room faced the 'service road' so during the day you could hear all the worker people driving through there. but at night, it was nice & quiet.

Re: BEST "Decade" in Pop Century ?

50's are considered "preferred" because of their location, but they're hard to get (and I think about $10 more per night).

I like the 80's. They're actually closer to the bus-stop if you walk across the parking lot. They seem quieter too b/c they're not close to the pools.

Re: BEST "Decade" in Pop Century ?

Welcome to MB and as stated even though I never stayed there yet It seems to us the 50's or 70's may be the most prefered locations and at any Disney properties there is a slightly higher charge for Prefered locations.

I loved the 80's! It was nice and quiet and the computer pool was close by and usually empty.

Re: BEST "Decade" in Pop Century ?

The buildings are all there, just empty!

We were in in the 50's and it wasn't considered Preferred. We always go for the standard room.

According to the most recent Wikipedia update (Disney's Pop Century Resort - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia), Disney is taking bids on construction....

On the otherhand, there are families like mine with grown children that could take the family suite, rather than renting two rooms. So even if they make a bunch of them suites, it should still open up alot more value level rooms.
