We had an early lunch here Sept 15. A res of 11:15am got us seated right away. For the first 15 minutes, to my husbands delight, breakfast was still out on half the buffet. The lunch options were varied and yummy. Everything was fresh and well prepared. Only the lobster mac and cheese let us down, only I think, because it was just out and was not as thick and creamy as sitting would have done. The characters were great circulating around and around. Only Sophia was elusive, passing us on the left and right and again! DGD and DGS were both pleased tho. We would do it again.

We stayed at Pop Sept 11-19. 4 adults, 2 children in two rooms. We requested adjoining rooms and early check in and got both. The lay out of the resort is simple, after one trip around we learned to cut thru buildings and parking lots. Kids loved the pools. The buses were timely, only at the end of the night after the shows was there a serious wait. Definitely would recommend, particularly for families as the price is what sold us in the first place.

fun, awesome pools,Cons:

We go to this restaurant every time we are at Disney because the food is amazing. We always order the Mahi Mahi and Shrimp and every time it comes out perfect is delicious! The atmosphere and location are great too with being next to the large fish tank. Would definitely recommend!

This little place was tucked next to Hollywood Brown Derby and I never knew it was there! But once I found it, it was a little addicting! The cupcakes were amazing! I've tried most of them and they were all delicious and light (though huge) 🙂 The seating was limited since it is always busy. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a delicious cupcake!

I'm highly disappointed in this restaurant. We have been going to Disney for many many years and have never dined at this restaurant. We finally decided we should try it. We read the reviews on it and I'm concerned as to why there is positive reviews on this restaurant. The restaurant is extremely dirty and the food... well... it's exactly like having a TV Dinner! Not worth the money at all! The positive was it was character dining (which the characters costumes were filthy as well) and the dessert skillet was pretty delicious. I was just here in September 2014, so this is a very recent review and my suggestion is to use your money elsewhere on a better dinner. 100% not worth it at all, even with the characters. Disney, you should be ashamed of yourselves!

We didn't make reservations here but were happy to sit at the bar for dinner. We didn't miss the fireworks because it was Night of Joy & there weren't any. Everyone was very nice. We had the best service from Clinta the bartender. He was very personable, offering suggestions, making small talk & letting us take our time, all while he was training a new employee. We started with the ravioli (wonderful) & BBQ flatbread (very good). The mixed drinks were very good, not too strong. I had the chicken which was delicious, juicy with a crispy coating but I wouldn't call it fried. DH had the filet and he really enjoyed it, very tender & cooked well.
I was surprised at the number of small children here so late at night. One even sat at the bar for awhile, which I thought was illegal. All that being said DH & I were still able to enjoy a nice dinner & conversation

Our party of five had dinner here our first night. I thought it was a great way to kick off the trip. You could visit all the characters without standing in line. All of the characters came by , most twice. Janice our waitress was fantasic! When half the part missed Mickey she made sure he came back by before we left. The kids loved eating here & even my shy son & repressed DH joined in the napkin dance.
The food is mediocre. There wasn't a lot of selection and nothing was great. Though I was pleasantly surprised by the short ribs. The desserts were very good. DH felt it was over priced for the food but you're not going here for food. It's for characters & fun!

It had some different food choices. The 15yo in our party chose the sushi & she liked it. The turkey wrap was good & the housemade chips were great. I recommend the Piña Colava. It was DELICIOUS! The only bad part in our experience was that the nachos on the menu were actually cold cheese dip with corn chips. A big disappoint to the kids in our party. They hadn't eaten since 6 am & wanted food. The staff was unable to even heat up the dip because that location didn't have a microwave. I didn't notice if they offered private dining at this location. If they do I would go that route in the future. It's a great place for drinks or snacks

I don't know that the price should be considered a negative as it's about what you pay at nice steak restaurant in OKC. We had some trouble with the wait. The staff at BLT was supposed to move our ressie time back, then we got caught in a ridiculous line at the front gate at EPCOT, so we were late & waited 30 minutes for our table. However, everybody else had a long wait too. I thought an 8:30 res would by pass that but I guess not.
The food more than made up for the wait. We had a party of 5, me, DH, DN15, DS12 & DD9. Me DN & DH had the filet with the return of the mushroom risotto & it was as delicious as everyone says. DS had surprise! Grilled chicken which was very good. DD had some sort of turkey kabob which was made with ground turkey & looked like a really dark, small corn dog. It came with a yogurt dipping sauce. I was worried she would hate it, but she loved it. We also had some starters, Me & DS had cheddar soup which tasted more like cheesy potato but was still good. DH had the tomato & mozzarella salad, it was very good. The service was prompt & friendly but nothing over the top. This was the one place that DN didn't complain about the food, so it was a win. Go at least once

We had lunch here on 9/5 without a reservation. I was surprised that we were able to get a table (inside!) in less than 5 mins. Our waiter was fast & friendly though difficult to understand at first. Once he asked where we were from he seemed to slow down his speech a little. DH had the bangers & mash which was very good. I just wanted something lite so I chose the trio of cheeses all of them were good & I really enjoyed the accompaniments. DS had the grilled chicken "it's the best!". DD had kids fish & chips which she liked much more than the Raglan Rd version. DN ordered a side salad as "the menu is small & nothing sounds good", which she didn't enjoy because it had blue cheese. I thought the salad was very tasty. We were happy with our experience.
