I liked the cheesecake too, but did not like the crust. But it's big enough for me that I was too full to eat ht he crust anyways. LOL! And with all the walking at Disny I never gained weight while on any of my trips

The crust wasn't bad, different but still good.
Your right about that, your always on the go.

It sounds like there are a lot of food choices at Pop! The only other Disney resort I've ever stayed at is the Poly and the food court there is nice, but small. I'm excited to try all these fun treats I've heard about!

I love the shrimp lo mein noodles. They come in a take out wax box. Grab some soy sauce and a pair of chopsticks and you are good to go!!

Quick question for all you Pop experts...

My DH & I will be staying at Pop this September. On our arrival day, we'll be checking in about 12:30 or 1 in the afternoon. I KNOW we'll be pretty hungry by the time we arrive and we'll want to have a little something to eat. However, we have a really early dinner ressie that evening (4:30...) so we don't want to eat too much.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a very light lunch/snack from the Pop food court? I've seen the menu, but I'm not sure what's good. Any suggestions? I'll probably post this on the restaurant board as well, but I figured you all would be the experts!

The chicken ceasar salad is large and easily shared. If you are really hungry add a side of bread sticks. What you eat really depends on how hungry you are. If you are looking for something to tide you over to your ADR just share an entre. However, we found the meals this year to be smaller than they were last year. In the past we have always shared meals and this year we were not usually able to do it.

Hello everyone! I am new to the community and am schedueled to go to POP in November!!! I am so excited!!! When we booked on line however, we were only offered the standard room, not a prefered room . Does anyone know why? Also we just paid for the hotel stay and did not pay in a package. (is that why)

Anyway I love this thread and am learning so much from it! thanks

Also: is there a large variety of fruit on the Pop concoctions menu?

The flatbreads are really good. You could split one.

The salads are really nice and fresh (tho nothing really special). I like the Asian Chicken and the Greek. There's also a Chicken Caesar.

We're in the same situation - with dinner ressies at 4:55. But I know we'll be hungry at lunch time since we won't have eaten since very early morning. We'll either split a flatbread and a salad or maybe just have a dessert for lunch. Well, we're on vacation after all!

You might want to try giving them a call. Sometimes there are fewer rooms available on line. Are you going late in November - close to the holiday? I suppose it could be possible they've sold out of preferred rooms already, but I'd still give them a call.

Re: the fruit. I remember seeing quite a bit available, but I tend to avoid the stuff that's good for you, so I can't attest to how fresh or good it is.

We love the chicken alfredo thingie with the pasta and breadstick. It's a large cutlet...perfect to share. I think three of us have even shared one order when we wanted just a little something to hold us over.

My thought exactly! Maybe she got one of the older lumpy mattresses?

We just went at the beginning of the month. Its awesome there, for the value you can't beat it.
As spoken "You made a great choice" I totally agree with that.

A Greek Salad usually has feta cheese, sliced onions and black olives in addition to the lettuce. The dressing is oil & vinegar like. Never had Pop's version but a friend has and enjoyed it. Think it came with some pita bread or some type of bread. Hope that helps!

That's pretty much it! POP's Greek salad isn't quite as large as the other salads tho - more of a single serving. A lot of people aren't fond of feta, but I love it - gives ya some stinky breath tho so make sure DH eats some too!

[Tinker_Belle]

The cheese and fruit plate is pretty light and very tasty!!

That sounds perfect for us when we get in too. Does anyone remember what types of cheese & fruit are on it?

If you weren't offer preferred that means it is booked for the time you are there. only stnadard available.
Concoctions is a bare that is closing. You must be talking about eveything Pop. I can't help you on the fruit though. I did mostly junk! LOL!
Most places at Disney had red grapes though.

You'll be fine in a standard room, since no preferred were available. The rooms are exacatly the same; it's all about location. I'd suggest looking at the maps on Post #1 of this thread and then requesting a room location. You can call and have the request added to your ressie, as well as faxing it to Pop about 4 days before you arrive.

Have a great trip!
