We ate one dinner here. Three kids meals (my husband wasn't wanting anything big that night!) and one adult meal (no drink) was $32 (after DVC discount). It seemed expensive relative to other meals this week. However, the food was good and it was nice to have some variety.
The boys had the PB&J Uncrustable (which is now hard to find in the parks!) with carrots/celery sticks and apple slices. They vegetables and fruit are precut and served on a plate rather than bagged. It took away the ability to split one serving and carry another with us for a snack later (which is what we usually do).
Husband had the kids turkey sandwich with the same sides. It comes on wheat "goldfish" bread. He said it was fine and met his needs for the night.
I had the Tennessee BBQ Pork Sandwich which is served with baked beans. I chose coleslaw as my cold side. It was all very tasty. The bread is a bit overpowering so I removed one half of the bun so be able to enjoy the pork flavor.
Overall the meal was good but the price I felt was high.
Pros:
Good food with different optionsCons:

We ate here twice on this trip. The first time was a joint adventure the Paradise Garden Grill (separately reviewed) and the second we all ate at BP&P.
On our first visit my husband was trying to track down a PB&J for our younger son who just HAD to have one. We found the Uncrustables available in their cold case so he went to get him one. It is not served as a kids meal but you can add sides and a drink and it works out to about the same price. While he was finding our son's meal he spied the flatbread pizzas and decided that needed to be his lunch. He chose the cheese pizza and had pesto sauce drizzled on top. I was not offered a bite and it disappeared quickly so I would say he enjoyed it!
On our second visit we all ate there. Our younger son happily had his PB&J again. Our older son chose the kids spaghetti and turkey meatballs. He absolutely loved it! My husband and I shared the very large portion of Five Cheese Ravioli and I had a side salad (found in the coolers near the registers). It was plenty of food and had great flavor! We really enjoyed the ravioli! It was a hard decision - the Chicken Sun-Dried Tomato Pasta looked wonderful as well! I also struggled with my salad choice. The entree salads are fresh made and all looked amazing! I went with the side salad just from a size standpoint but it was a hard choice!
Even with a fountain drink to share, this still came out to one of our cheapest meals at under $30. I found this to be quite a good value.
Seating is outside and shared with the Paradise Garden Grill. There was a small band playing both days we were there. The second day it was raining but the tables under the cover were completely dry and it was very nice.
Pros:
Selection, GREAT food, ValueCons:

I had lunch here one afternoon. The rest of the family chose other options and we ate in the common area out front. It is a good, fresh option that is unexpected in this park. If you enjoy Mediterranean food, I recommend it.
I chose the Greek Salad and added a skewer of grilled chicken. The salad was HUGE and full of amazing flavors. It comes with a pita bread that was tasty as well. The grilled chicken was great and added a lot to the salad. However, it definitely added to the price as well! They charge $8 for one skewer of chicken which is the same price as the salad! But, in the grand scheme of things, it was well worth it. The meal was more than enough food for one person.
One note - the toppings and dressing are all mixed together on the salad. This did not bother me as I picked around the things I didn't love and enjoyed the flavor mixture otherwise. But for some this may be an issue. I do encourage you to try it though. It was a nice, flavorful meal!
Pros:
Great Flavors! Different choicesCons:

We stopped for snacks one evening. My boys were begging for the churro bites and they ended up being quite good! The chocolate sauce is different (and very messy!) but good all the same.
We also had the pretzel bites. They were fine but nothing to write home about. The cheese sauce was the typical nacho cheese from a can flavor. At the pretzel stand they have Red's Apple Freeze. We had heard it was similar to HP Butterbeer at Universal in Orlando so we thought we try it. It is SWEET! It is good but takes a minute to get used to how sweet it is. Word of advice...drink it from the top without a straw or you will get a mouth-full of caramel! We finally drank enough of it to be able to stir it well which helped meld the flavors and tone down the sweetness a little. But it was still sweet!
Pros:
Fun! Yummy SnacksCons:

My friend and I stayed at this resort in the Calypso I on the second floor from January 20-26, 2013. We were very pleased with the room and its close location to the main building and bus stops. We also were located to a convenient parking area (we drove down). The room looked like it had been recently painted and everything looked fresh and new. The maid service was fantastic, and they left us adorable towel creatures throughout the visit. We were also close to the laundry building, which was very convenient. The only complaint was that we had to pass by the smoking area everyday on our way to and from the main building. That being said, we would stay there again.
Pros:
clean, close to most of the parks and attractionsCons:

My friend and I had lunch here on January 23, 2013, and we enjoyed our lunch very much. We both had the Tempura Shrimp and the Fried Wontons for desert. Delicious!! The cast members were very attentive, and we did not have any wait at all for our seating. The decor is really authentic, and the CMs encourage people to walk around to enjoy it. This was a nice experience.
Pros:
Good food, nice decorCons:

My friend and I had dinner here on January 21, 2013 on the standard dining plan. I had the "A Sampling of Mom's Favorite Recipes" (Crispy-fried Chicken, Fork Tender Pot Roast, and Traditional Meatloaf with all the fixings, and my friend had the "Mom's Old Fashioned Pot Roast". I loved the chicken and meatloaf, but the pot roast was just OK. On the other hand, my friend loved her pot roast. I had the S'more for desert (my friend was too full for hers), and it could have used a lot more chocolate topping. Overall, we did enjoy the meal. Our server was friendly, but she spent more time "playing" with the larger tables she did than with us, which actually was OK with us. We were tired and wanted a quieter meal. I would recommend this restaurant, but only if you are up to joking around with the CMs.

My friend and I had dinner here on the std dining plan on 01/22/13. We both had the Grilled Tenderloin and Fried Fish, which was delicious and very filling. We were too full to eat desert, so I took the Cheesecake and she took the Jaffa tart to go. They were both delicious as well, but the Jaffa tart did not travel very well. Our waitress was very nice, but once again the service was extremely slow. I have eaten here several times before, but my friend had not. I love the food, but the seating and service are too slow and take up too much park time.

My friend and I had dinner here on 01/20/13 on the std dining plan. As usual, the food was very good. I had never had the root vegetable medly before, and it was delicious. I did ask for more "done" beef, and the waitress brought me some slightly less pink meat, but it did have a piece of gristle which was not pleasant. We loved the turkey, pork, mac and cheese, stuffing, green beans, mashed potatoes, and cake dessert. We had one of the first reservations for dinner, and we were seated pretty promptly for a change.

My friend and I dined here on the std dining plan on 01/25/13. We were able to get in earlier than our reservation time, which was very convenient and accommodating. We loved the crab legs, corn bread, shrimp, pasta, and desserts (Boston creme cake, cheese cake), among others. Our waitress was attentive, and we were happy to have this be our last dining experience before ending our vacation.
