Disneys Pop Century Resort
Many people may not know this, but a great place to learn about pop culture in America is in a resort at Walt Disney world. Walt Disney has a resort called “The Pop Century Resort” that is themed with everything in our popular culture. Various artifacts from past decades decorate the entire hotel. Icons in pop culture are represented throughout the entire hotel. Even their swimming pools are themed, one is a flower shaped hippy pool, one is in the shape of a bowling pin, and one is shaped as a computer monitor. Any fad, gadget, song, or toy that was ever popular in our culture you can find here in Disney’s resort. This resort is extremely clever and innovative. It is a symbol of how important studying and remembering popular culture is. This is a great place for parents and families to take their children and point out things that were popular while they were growing up. This hotel is like living inside History textbook on poplar culture throughout the 20th century. It is a real life, hands on experience, of pictures and artifacts from our popular culture. The Walt Disney Company is extremely successful and wise with all of its business decisions. So for such a successful company to make a hotel based off of popular culture says a lot. They had to have known that they would be able to have a substantial amount of people interested and eager to stay in a hotel based off of popular culture, in order for them to make considerable profit. Disney knows that our countries popular culture is essentially the definition of our countries culture. I think Disney has done a great job depicting the icons from past decades in this hotel, and this hotel says a lot about how important popular culture is to the people of our country.
