When we last left the Hicks, they had just had a lovely breakfast with the princesses at Castle Askershus in Norway/Epcot.
But what I forgot to tell you is the night before they managed to squeeze in their first Counter Service at the Pop Food Court.
I am a big fan of Everything Pop. I think they have a very good selection of food items, especially with the
DDP.
It is a bit time consuming for us to get meals for nine people and pay and carry them back to the table. But we have that problem everywhere.
It really helps NOT to get there at a busy time. I would recommend eating before breakfast before 8 am, and dinner before 8 pm.
When it is busy, it is BUSY!!!
We had a nice dinner there, just after arriving.
[Bionic SIL and Stitch Jr. did not stick around to finish dinner, as they were still feeling a little sick from their flight.]
I was looking forward to the parmesan crusted chicken. One secret to share with you, no matter what the board says, you can custom order the parmesan crusted chicken "your way."
Your choices are: With pasta OR salad,
red sauce or white sauce,
sauce on the chicken or just on the pasta,
and you always get a breadstick.
Just tell them what you want, and they will do it.
I ordered the chicken, with pasta and red sauce.
DD13 (Disneygirl) got it with pasta and white sauce.
John got it with salad and we can't remember if he had sauce.
John = ok
Disneygirl = dry
Me = Usually better, mine was a little under done in one part, which grosses me out.
Chef C (ds11) had the individual pizza, which he enjoyed very much.
Mom had the veg. lasagna, and liked it pretty well, though she was a little thrown by the texture of one of the veggies in it, we were thinking maybe eggplant.
Pocohontas Jr. (niece 10) had a hamburger meal.
We had fountain drinks or individual large milks, and a variety of fruit cups and cookies/cakes for dessert.
The little kids all had chicken nugget kid's plates. They came with a choice of two sides -- fries, cookie, carrots, grapes, or pudding -- and a kid's size fountain drink, milk, juice, or water.
They LOVED this meal, and it was to become a fall back all around WDW, though I was trying very hard to limit it for the two with wheat sensitivities.
But in a pinch....
Sarah's soapbox:
It would be nice if Counter service restaurants would add a child size hamburger. There are no hamburger kid's meals to be had anywhere in WDW.
We could always order it without a bun, or with a GF bun.
There is no child size pizza either.
Thank goodness for Pizza Planet (which I shall review later), since they have one size fits all meals AND Gluten Free Pizza!
But if I could add kid's burgers and pizzas, I would.
Ok, end of my rant. For now.
All in all, I really like and recommend the Pop Century food court. It has a lot of variety, plenty of seating (though I still recommend eating at slow times), and fun decorations and music.
Happy to answer any questions about Everything Pop or the use of the current DDP(2007) at the food court.
I am the oldest in a family of 8 so you all seem completely normal to me. 
Thinks she's too old for dressing up. Oh well we still got a good picture with Belle just not in matching dresses.
