Everything Pop Review (The Food Court at Disney’s Pop Century Resort)

This article reviews Everything Pop, the food court at Disney’s Pop Century Resort. Below, we’ll preview the menu, items we’ve tried, and photos of everything available during our last stay.

Everything Pop Dining and Shopping is the food court and gift shop at Disney’s Pop Century Resort. It sits off Classic Hall, the resort’s lobby area. Classic Hall comprises the food court, gift shop, reception area, and bus stop and serves as the resort’s central hub.

Like other Disney’s value resorts, Pop Century has one large food court with multiple stations offering various cuisines. Unfortunately, the only other dining offering is the pool bar, which mainly serves beverages and a handful of snacks.

That said, Everything Pop food court isn’t too bad. We enjoyed lunch and breakfast during our last stay, and the quality of the food dumbfounded me. So, if you plan an upcoming stay at Pop Century, you might want to lean in a little closer. By the time we’re finished, you’ll know whether you can rely on having multiple meals here during your stay.

Pop Century’s food court serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day from 7:00 a.m. until 11:00 p.m. Inside, there is ample open space, with each station offering a unique cuisine.

These are just a few of the items listed. You can view the menu with current prices for Everything Pop on Disney’s site or in the My Disney Experience app. However, as you’ll see below, it is our experience that you’ll find more offerings at the food court than what’s listed online.

That is also true for mobile ordering. While placing a mobile order is convenient, you’ll find more items in the food court. However, if you’re only ordering a pizza or burger on the way back to the resort, we highly recommend using the mobile order option. If you order food from the bus or Skyliner, it will likely be ready to pick up by the time you reach the food court.

If you don’t mobile order, you’ll place your order individually at each station. Then, you will carry your meal on a tray to a register, where a cast member will ring everything up. If you get a kids’ meal, gather all the components ahead of time. Usually, the cast members are good to let you know if you’re missing something. You can also substitute milk or water for a fountain drink if desired.

Here are some items available during lunch and dinner on our last visit. This first station had Italian cuisine, including:

• Chicken Parmesan Pasta
• Penne Pasta with Meatballs
• Macaroni and Cheese topped with Barbecued Beef

Kids’ Meals included:

• Chicken with Pasta and Vegetables
• Macaroni and Cheese

This station also had:

• Super Slice of Pepperoni Pizza or Cheese Pizza
• Large Pepperoni Pizza or Cheese Pizza
• Macaroni and Cheese
• Bread Sticks (served with marinara or alfredo sauce)

Another station had create-your-own entrees. You could select one of the following proteins:

• Barbecued Braised Beef
• Mojo-Roasted Chicken
• Panko-crusted Salmon
• Garlic-herb Shrimp

Then select two sides:

• Yukon Gold Mashed Potatoes
• Brown Rice and Black Beans
• Garlic Green Beans
• Edamame Succotash
• Hearty Kale Salad
• Roasted Rainbow Carrots

Here is a photo of the rainbow carrots, and that’s an Impossible Meatloaf (plant-based) behind it.

The Mojo-Roasted Chicken also looked like a good option.

This station had two specialty entrees:

• Sesame Chicken Stir-Fry
• Impossible Meatloaf

I was going back and forth between the sesame chicken dish and the create-your-own entree. The cast member said I could get the chicken and vegetables and substitute the rice with another side. So, I ended up with the rainbow carrots. The sesame chicken was similar to what you might get at a Chinese restaurant in a mall food court, which was a guilty pleasure. However, I didn’t feel guilty because the rest of my plate was loaded with quality vegetables. I would order this again.

Here’s the panko-crusted salmon. This is part of the create-your-own menu, where you get two sides. I chose a side of rice and a side of rainbow carrots. This was a surprising meal. The salmon was quality, and those rainbow carrots were delicious.

Here is the burger menu:

• Cuban Burger (ham, pickled pepper relish, Provolone, Dijonnaise)
• Bacon Cheddar Burger (signature blend burger with lettuce and tomato)
• Cheddar Cheese Burger
• Korean Style Impossible Burger (plant-based patty with Korean barbecue sauce and pickled vegetable slaw)

Kids’ meals include:

• Cheeseburger
• Chicken Strips
• Turkey Sandwich

Most of these menu items were listed above. Each entree in this section comes with an order of French Fries. I didn’t get a chance to order the grilled chicken sandwich. But I thought it sounded unique with the fresh mozzarella, basil aïoli, balsamic glaze, arugula, and tomato on a toasted Brioche bun.

Toward the far end of the food court, a station had specialty coffee and ice cream. I ordered a cappuccino. It was presented in a cup about the size of those mouthwash cups they give you to rinse at the dentist’s office. I regularly order a cappuccino at Disney World, and I hope this is not the new serving size.

This station had a chocolate chip cookie sundae, a classic sundae, and a brownie sundae. You could also order individual scoops of ice cream in a cup or a cone.

Behind the check-out area, you’ll find several stations with beverage refill machines and condiments. Fountain Drinks include Coca-Cola Products like Diet Coke, Barq’s Root Beer, Vitamin Water, Minute Maid Lemonade Zero Sugar, Coca-Cola Zero Sugar, Powerade, Fanta Orange, Sprite, and Sprite Zero.

Joffrey’s coffee is available in regular or decaf.

The usual condiments are available. I like to pick up a few things to keep in the room when we stay here. You never know when you might need an extra creamer or salt and pepper pack.

Several microwaves and toaster ovens are available throughout the dining hall.

Rapid Fill mugs are available. They are refillable at any resort quick service with a self-service beverage location for the entire length of your resort stay. You can use them for fountain drinks, coffee, and tea. If you purchase the Disney Dining Plan or Disney Quick Service Dining Plan, you’ll automatically get a refillable mug.

The main dining space looks out a wall of windows toward the Hippy Dippy Pool area.

Before we wrap things up, let’s look at the grab-and-go items at Everything Pop. You’ll find bagels, pastries, cinnamon rolls, muffins, cakes, donuts, and cookies.

We saw brownies, strudel, and other yummy goodies.

Individual cups of cereal and bags of chips were available.

The refrigerated case had more desserts. On the bottom shelf, there were white chocolate and dark chocolate Mickey-shaped dome cakes. Other items included a yogurt parfait and overnight oats.

Here, we have a caramel and chocolate Mickey Mouse celebration cupcake.

Usually, Pop Century has a signature Tie-Dye cheesecake dessert. It wasn’t available on our visit. But I wondered if this vibrant cupcake with a smiley face had replaced it. I’m not sure about the flavor of this one.

Several cups of mixed fresh fruit were available.

Premade salads included a Caesar salad with Romaine lettuce, croutons, and chilled chicken, as well as a Greek salad with cucumbers, feta, and tomatoes.

Here we have a couple of premade sandwiches, should you dare.

Pop Century has a decent selection of soda and sports beverages. In addition, a few beers and refrigerated wines are available.

This last cooler on the right has a few items geared toward children. All of these items count as sides for the kids’ meals.

They also have several varieties of milk and juice available for purchase.

Here are a few other items.

A case near the register contained Mickey ice cream bars and other novelties.

As always, I hope this review of Everything Pop’s food court gave you an idea of what to expect. You might also enjoy our review of Landscape of Flavors at Disney’s Art of Animation. It is within walking distance of Pop Century.

We recently updated our review of Centertown Market at Disney’s Caribbean Beach. You might also want to read our review of Primo Piatto at Disney’s Riviera. These quick-service restaurants are only a quick ride on the Disney Skyliner away from Pop Century. Primo Piatto is our top ranking for the best quick service at Disney World. We took the Skyliner to the Riviera for breakfast during our stay at Pop Century.
