Is the food court A POP way better than ASMU? - The DIS Discussion Forums

We are on the QSDP so there for we will be eating in the food court. Who has the better food court. We are there for 8 nights so a nice varitey would be good. We stayed at POFQ for 2 weeks in April and we survived.

We've stayed multiple times at both ASMu and Pop, although it's been a few years since staying at ASMu. Both are just fine IMO. Offerings are very similar. I used to more strongly prefer Pop if only for the frozen soda machine on the beverage bar, but I understand that it is no longer there. The psychadelic cheesecake, available only at Pop, is a favorite of my wife. Also, I prefer the atmosphere at Pop Century food court

The food is almost the same. The atmosphere at POP is a little nicer but not by much.

I would take into consideration other CS places that you plan to eat and think about transportation to get there. The All Stars share some buses and it can make for a long journey to another location just to eat. We found this out when it took us 90 minutes to get to CSR. Which is only about 3 minutes down the road from ASMu. I would have taken a cab but DH refused.

Both are very good. Keep in mind at ASMU you can walk over to the ASMO and Sports for more variety. You may need the more variety on the quick plan.

We will only be eating at ASMU or the parks. We will be going to DTD to eat at WP and earl of a sandwhich at some point.

We've stayed at both POP and ASMu numerous times and I agree with others that the selection and variety of food are about the same. The atmosphere at the POP Food Court is a little bit livelier due to the brighter lighting.

We ate at both in August and we all liked Pop much better. In fact, even though we are booked at AsMu next year, I suspect we'll be stopping by the Pop food court a few times

Yes and it's no more than a 5 minute walk.

I think Pop is better, but I don't know if I would go so far as to say "way better." Last time I was there they had really good grilled flatbreads that the values did not.

We like Pop better. Not only for the atmosphere, but they have a few items that the others do not.

A counter service meal that is awesome is Wolfgang Puck's Express in DTD. The Cornflake Encrusted French Toast is very addictive. YUUMMYYYY!!!!

We love the food court at POP in August when we stayed there. Awesome selection and huge portions. Often my DH and I just spit a meal and we were satisfied. CM's were great to deal with, too. Very polite and a manager was always walking around at some point.
