Which one is it? We are not fancy people per say while on vacation and in Disney we will live off counter service food liked served here, but cold hamburgs and such won't fly.

And can someone confirm or deny that this food court is run by an outside company and NOT Disney?

Thanks

dansdad... you are Right On with that reply

nuge67.... Most people are very happy with the food court, there are bound to be mishaps now and then.

How often do you really get requests? We do not cafre if we are on the front or backside, but should we book preferred to help our chance?

Also I have seen a couple of mentions about different building in the 70s, are both close to parking and the Classic Hall?

Thank you all for your help!!!!

So I went ahead and booked a preferred room but did not add a specfic request for a certain building, should I or just take our chances?? Again we are driving and will be driving to the parks each day but also want to be close to the Classic Hall.

I have to agree-my mom turned her nose up & wouldn't order it-I thought it was great!

We plan to try fried chicken tomorrow for dinner.

So excited! The husband and I finally decided on a date. We will be staying at Pop from October 1st to October 10th (2013). This will be the longest we have ever stayed at WDW and it will also be the first time we've been without the kids. Now we just need to actually book the room.

[lovemesomepooh]

30 days and we will be back at POP and the world. We took the kids for their first trip Jan/Feb 2012. We didn't think we were going to go back til 2014, but my fiance surprised me and said lets go Feb 2013. The kids don't know and we are not telling them til we pick them up after school the day we leave. We made a video for them to watch to tell them.

I am getting super excited now!!

Hey Everyone!

We will be heading back to POP June 9-15th!
We stayed there on our last trip and it is my son's favorite so far.
I do like how close it seems to some of the parks and DTD...
We have stayed at Sports and Music and they seemed much further away for some reason.

[FancyNancy]

Thanks for the welcome Janet! The funny thing is I read through this whole thread and saw that I had Popped in back in Oct or Nov to mention that I was thinking about staying at Pop! Lol I was like Hey there I am!

I stayed at Sports once, but Pop ever since. I think the centrality of Pop's location is better for getting around, certainly for Studios and Epcot.
