If you are staying at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort, you may be wondering if it is possible to walk to Pop Century Resort. The answer is yes! It only takes about 15-20 minutes to walk between the two resorts, depending on which sections of the resorts you are walking from and to.
The easiest way to get from Art of Animation to Pop Century is by walking through the Hourglass Lake bridge, as this will provide a direct route and avoids having to go through any other resorts. To get there, start by heading towards the Pixar Place pool area at Art of Animation. From there, take a left and follow the sidewalk until you reach the bridge that crosses over Hourglass Lake.
On the other side of the bridge will be the pathway leading directly into Pop Century.
If you don’t want to walk through Hourglass Lake bridge, there is an alternate route that goes around rather than over it. This alternate route starts in much the same way as taking the bridge – head towards Pixar Place pool area at Art of Animation, then take a left and follow the sidewalk until you reach Hourglass Lake. Instead of crossing over it on the bridge though, take a right and follow along the lake until you reach The Neighbourhood area at Pop Century. From there, take a left onto Classic Hallway and follow it until it reaches Generation Gap Bridge; cross this bridge into Pop Century’s main area.
Conclusion:
Yes, it is possible to walk from Disney’s Art of Animation Resort to Pop Century Resort! Taking either route should only take about 15-20 minutes depending on which sections you are walking from and to. So next time you don’t feel like taking transportation or just want to stretch your legs, why not try out one of these routes?
