Was so looking forward to eating here had never tried it before and the theme of the place is great. Food just okay, car hop was attentive place was really crowded and had to wait a while. Had ADR for 2:15 arrived at 1:45 didn't get seated until 2:30 on 05/27/13. Just like some of the other places I tried my week in Disney glad I tried it but I won't be back.

Ate here for lunch on 05/29/13 we all had the ribs and chicken. A lot of fat on the ribs but overall pretty good food. I wouldn't probably wouldn't eat here again but was glad I had tried it.

Stayed 05/26/13 - 05/31/13 so crowded!! Everywhere not just this resort. Requested on line Jamaica 2nd Floor near transportation. All requestes granted which was great. Jamaica is usually first pick up and drop off which was great after a long day at the parks. Never waited over 20 minutes for any bus. Animal Kingdom/Blizzard Beach and Downtown Disney/Typhoon Lagoon are usually the ones you wait for the most. Took Blizzard Beach one day and then back to Carribbean then to Typhoon and it was over an hour just in travel time. Food Court was just gross. And why does the Coke taste like Diet Coke? Everyday of our stay you could not get Coke that was almost everywhere. Maid service great room was nice and spacious outlet where hair dryer was didn't work but it wasn't a big deal. I doubt if I will stay here again just because of the food court and the size of the resort. It was so crowded but that was my fault for coming in May. I visited the same time in '07 and it was so nice not crowded and never had to wait in long lines at the park. We didn't even do any Fast passes this time you did just to ride anything.

We had breakfast here on May 31st and though it was very good. I had the big Kahuna which I split with my daughter and it was plenty of food for two people. Everything was really good especially the macadamia nut pancakes! My husband had the Samoan which was also really good and a very good portion of food. We shared the pressed pot of Kona coffee and while it was good and I don't know if its worth the price, it wasn't the best coffee I've ever had.
I felt a bit cramped because the tables are so close together but the food and servers make up for it. I want to go back and have the tonga toast!

I have always shyed away from this restaurant because I found the menu to be a bit "boring". However, during our last trip to the Magic Kingdom we were looking for a light meal and I'm so glad we decided to give this a try!
We got seated at a table right by the window looking out over to Cinderella's castle which was wonderful. I server was very sweet and accomodated all our special request (no cheese, extra cheese etc) with a smile.
The cheese steak was really good as was the vegetarian sandwich. I thought the fries were really good and the homemade chips were great!
We were too full for dessert but one of the kids got strawberry ice cream which I tasted and it was very good quality.
The prices were very reasonable, the portions were good and I'd pick this over a quick service any day!

My family of five dined here on May 30th and we had a excellent experience. The hostess told us that it would be 90 min for a window seat but we only waited about 15 min and got a amazing table.
Our server, Christopher, was so nice and knowledgable--(he knew all the animals by name!)He also had lots of recommendations and really knew the in and outs of the menu.
The food was outstanding. We had the naan service to start and all of the spreads we tried were great.
Next up for entrees we had the slow cooked meals. I tried the Durban Shrimp which I thought was flavorful but VERY spicy and the Fish with Goan Curry which was good and had a smoky flavor. Now, I have to say my ONLY disappointment for the whole meal was that the green curry shrimp is no longer on the menu. I had that back in January and it was literally one of the best dishes I've ever had. I don't know why they took it off the menu and hope they bring it back.
Nonetheless, my husband had the butter chicken and bison masala and both were great. My daughter had two vegetarian options that she loved and my younger kids both got kids meals , the tandoori chicken pot pie and the meaty loaf. I tasted both and they were really good and I was so happy to see a restaurant offering something other than chicken strips and pizza!
We finally had dessert. We shared an order of the chocolate mousse and a dessert trio with all chia cream (sooo goood). It was wonderful!!!
My only complaint(besides the missing green curry shrimp) was that the after dinner teas are somewhat overpriced but we considered it paying for the ambiance as we got to stay and enjoy the view and animals longer. We love this place and can't wait to go back!!!

Every breakfast item imaginable to choose from at buffet!
Minnie, Goofy and Donald spend a lot of time going from table to table and posing for photos.
(We do wish that Chip and Dale would come back to Beach Club as we miss them a lot.)
Waitresses like Dorothy make Cape May Character Breakfast the best place to start day at Disney. After breakfast it is a short walk or boat trip to Epcot or Hollywood Studios for the rest of the day.

This was our 2nd year in a row, and we attended the first Friday it opened -- huge crowds! We got there in time for the motorcade parade, but we couldn't see a thing and is very discouraging. Most of the characters dressed up are walking, so only people standing in the front rows can see the parade. If Disney would elevate the characters on floats, then everyone could see them. The Jedi Training was filled up fast, and there were always long lines for photos and autographs. The themed music and extra decorations and characters throughout the park are fun, but overall, it is really too crowded to enjoy. Even the Star Tours store is crazy crowded. We recommend doing any "must dos" (like SW photo opp) on the weekend and come back on Monday-Thursday for all other attractions and purchases.

We really enjoyed our breakfast here. Our daughter loved seeing all the princesses, and the food was better than expected. The cold buffet they have with smoked fish, cheeses, pastries and other items was really good. Also if you ask they'll bring you pancakes, in addition to the other hot food your served. (eggs, bacon sausage, potatoes) In addition to getting pictures and autographs with all the princesses, our daughter got to be part of a really cute princess parade.
The one negative is that it is very expensive. While it was worth it to do it once for two adults and one child it cost $124 with tip. (however, a good value if your on the dining plan)
Pros:
Food was good, lots of princessesCons:

This was our first time staying at Pop and we really enjoyed it. We stayed in the 60's building which was nice and close to the main building, and only a short walk from Art of Animation. The room was well maintained and a good size for two adults and one child. Getting to the parks was great, we never waited more then 7 minutes for a bus. The food court was excellent with good selections. We thought Pop was a really good value and would definitely go back.
