Beaches and cream I've only been to once! I know sad, but I went and got to go ice cream which was really good! The food looks pretty good as well. It's very small inside so if you do go I'd get a reservation. Pop food court is your basic food court. Has a build a sandwich bar (chicken or burger) chicken nuggets, a build a salad line, a pasta/pizza line and another line that changes lunch and dinner. Had a Asian chicken and rice for dinner. I believe it had rotisserie chicken and some other random stuff. It was overall decent food. Been there a few times
Also AoA is a very short 5 minute walk maybe 10 and they have some really good and different selections as well

Mom's TV dinners at POP are some of my favorite meals to eat. Everything else good for a QS.
Beaches and Cream is fun! We get ADRs there for the ice cream alone!
I don't think you'd be disappointed with either.

We actually have Beaches and Cream on our ADR list this Fall. (Well, CJ does, hubby and I are trying the Boathouse) My son has stayed at Pop and said he really liked the food court, ate there several times (and he is a picky eater!) If you will be at TL, you can always swing by DTD, Wolfgang Puck Express is a great option. Food trucks always have alot of great choices!

Never eaten at Pop, but we have been to Beaches & Cream. Mind you, we've only been in for ice cream, but it's one of those places I keep in mind for lunch. It's a tiny spot, but the service was good and it's cute. It's also a nice break from the midday chaos you sometimes get inside the parks.

We've stayed at POP & AOA. & We've eaten at both. If I had to choose the better I'd say AOA. AOA has the Surf n' Turf & POP has tie-dyed cheesecake & the King cupcake!

We have never eaten at POP but I have heard good things about it. Beaches and Cream has some good sandwiches.Last time we ate there my DW had a grilled cheese and tomato bisque (option for a vegan?) my DS had a burger and I had a hot dog. My advise is save room for dessert!

Unless you are looking to kill several hours, I wouldn't make the trip to any resort just for the QS. POP definitely has a bit more variety than some of the others, but the amount of time needed to get from resort to resort really makes it hard sell in my mind. Figure in 45mins - 1 1/2 hours to make the resort -> theme park -> resort transfer (and then back again after eating) doesn't make much sense. I'd say do DTD and do either Earl of Sandwich or Wolfgang Puck Express (or heck, just try for walk ups at some of the TS locations)
Beaches and Cream isn't bad at all, decent food but everyone goes for the dessert (obviously).

I'm thinking about POP for after a day in a WP and not going into another park that night.

Nope, I got that. But to get to POP you would need to do the bus transfer game as you can't get directly from your resort to POP, unless you were going to head straight over after the WP. So either WP -> POP or WP -> your resort (shower, change, etc) -> theme park/DTD -> POP. Personally, I'd want to go back and shower, get the sun block washed off, drop anything extra, etc and then go to dinner. Unless you have a car or plan on taking the taxi, in which case the bus is a moot point, but then I'd say why not do TS off property for what POP QS would cost you in that case.
THNX We'll have our car and not being sure of how long my boys will want to stay in the WPs I was thinking cs would be better not having to either rush out or be stuck waiting with nothing to do.

Then by all means have at it. The car definitely makes it doable.

Pop has always been good. I enjoyed it way more than the Contempo Cafe. Way more options. Plan on giving AOA a try while we are there in Oct. we are staying at POP again so will walk over to get pictures and check out food and gift shop.
