Things that met/exceeded your expectations and things that didn't

[JennaDeeDooDah]

What happened?! I figured it was a good alternative to Art of Animation!

It's really not that anything bad happened, but it was a disappointment. So many here rave about how great it is. The outside of the buildings are cute but the rooms were so lacking in detail. It felt like any Motel 6 room with a Disney collage of the decade tacked up on the wall. Art of Animation, by contrast, was excellent. The rooms were incredibly well themed. The grounds were excellently themed and the rooms were over the top! There was absolutely no doubt that you are in a Little Mermaid room or a Lion King, Finding Nemo, or Cars suite. I even found the All Stars to have more theming. I love staying on property, but I want a theme. The rooms at Pop were just so lacking. After hearing how much people love them and how they were so many's favorite value resort, my family and I ended up disappointed.

Granted, I haven't tried everything, but here's my all-genre list off the top of my head. If not listed, it wasn't tried or met my expectations. I guess it depends on expectations though. The Osborne Lights were awesome, but I had very high expectations. Country Bear Jamboree was horrible, but I didn't expect anything.

Exceeded:
Tower of Terror
Frozen Sing-a-long (very funny and different jokes/funnier when we went a second time)
Rafikis Planet Watch
Hollywood and Vine (heard poor reviews but food was great both times and kids loved the dancing)
Chefs de France
San Angel Inn Restaurante
Wolfgang Puck Express

Didn't Meet Expectations:
Campfire Sing-a-long (long time to get there just to fight over a spot at a crowded fire. Chip and Dale interaction very meh)
Dole Whip
Electrical Parade
Chef Mickey's
Coral Reef
Teppan Edo
