Week 10 - Chicken Penne Alfredo at Disney's Pop Century (Mar 11)

Disney's Pop Century was quiet this afternoon which surprised us actually. Recent reports have noted that the parks have been busy with some long wait times at popular attractions. No doubt due to the many events going on at Walt Disney World in March... including the grand opening of the Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival last week and baseball spring training going on at Disney's Wide World of Sports complex.

Our visit to Pop Century included sharing a dinner of Chicken Penne Alfredo along with a side order of breadsticks. My husband loves the breadsticks and thinks they're a great value (considering Disney pricing). Two breadsticks with a cup of tomato sauce for dipping is just under two bucks.


Today's meal was good, but not Pop Century's best effort. In fact, the same dinner we ordered at Disney's All-Star Music on February 3 was WAY better. Primarily, the food was cold. The chicken breast, while plump and meaty, was barely warm. The penne was a water-logged plate of severely bloated noodles. The alfredo sauce, thankfully, was creamy and flavorful this time - a few times we've had this dish, the alfredo sauce was watery.

We left the resort just as cast members were rounding up all the kids for a muscial parade around the Everything Pop Shopping and Food Court. Boy, is that ever noisy. Tamborines and drums all around. The kids are all smiles, though. Makes for some nice Disney vacation memories.
