The Everything POP Food Court at Disney's Pop Century Resort has partially reopened this week as the refurbishment project continues.

Guests now have access to portions of the dining room and food court with a refreshed look.

One of the most noticeable changes is the removal of the original elaborate tile work, replaced by a simpler design. Despite the updated aesthetics, the overall layout remains essentially unchanged, with food stations located around the perimeter of the food court and registers lining one side.

Here is the original look that has now been removed.

A significant section of the dining room is still hidden behind construction scrims, with Disney projecting the work will continue through the end of November 2024.

During the refurbishment, access to the food court is limited to the exterior entrance near the pool area, as the main entrance inside the lobby is temporarily blocked. A temporary grab-and-go option is still available in the resort's arcade.

It’s certainly more of what comes to mind when I think “POP”! I always thought the old court looked like a really intense school cafeteria.

This is an improvement in my eyes. The original was very 90s.

I suppose I like it, very generic, empty and sterile though. I did just notice this though, the board outside still reads 'Classic Concoctions', that was the name of the cocktail bar located in the back of Everything Pop which closed in 2007(?) Was certainly boarded up on my 2008 trip. It's just seating there now.

Before After More Generic, but a lot easier on the eyes.

Yeah... This seems pretty uninspired. I like the mural with Mickey. But, this otherwise feels very, very generic. There are so many inspirations they could have used to make this really fun. (And the previous version was NOT my favorite by any stretch. It was way too much, so a redo - and even "scaling back" was welcomed.) It's just very colorful "meh" to me. It's "fine" but that's it. At least it's in line with the sad stripping out of Disney resort decor/theme as of late. So... consistency?

They were the Friday’s of the 70’s & 80’s…their claim to fame was a theater sized popcorn machine in each restaurant and it was all you could eat… I always felt sorry for the staff…what a job cleaning up at the end of the night…popcorn ALL OVER THE FLOOR.

off to listen to Nightmare Before Christmas and get some work done. So sad to hear about that wonderful actor and thespian too. On XM Disney last night, the were playing some of that music as a tribute to Ken Page who played Oogie Boogie (What an incredible voice he had on Broadway and movies!)

Had to google the ground round restaurants...procured by Howard Johnson...wasn't familiar with it...sounded good! ...Like Cleavon Little (oh what a great actor that he was) from Blazing Saddles and all of the Howard Johnsons in it :D

I still don't know the name of this site after all of these years (LOL) but I really want to see!

The site that shall not be named has photos of the partially reopened Everything Pop food court. Be prepared to be disappointed. At least it will match the refurbs going on over at the All Stars.....
