Stayed in a savanna view bunk bed room with the wife and 2 year old in August of 2012, and we were very impressed with this resort! Very reminiscent of the Wilderness Lodge, but with the African theme. I loved the lobby, particularly the continuously burning campfire, and the view from our room was fantastic! We utilized the shuttle to visit both pools during our stay, and they are both great for kids and adults.
This is a great resort for those who want to slow down and enjoy the hotel during your wdw stay, as there are lots of activities for the kids. The dining at AKL is really some of the best anywhere on property. The Mara is probably my favorite resort counter service restaurant, and the breakfast buffet at Boma is one of the best meals I've ever had on property. Highly recommend this resort!

We decided to do an impromptu second trip one year and due to limited room availability, wound up at the Coronado Springs Resort. That was my first mistake. The room is small, beds weren't comfortable at all and walls are very thin, (either that or we had very loud families staying on either side of us) The grounds are well kept, I say this because, I saw lots of the grounds, walked for what seemed to be atleast 3/4 mile to the lobby and to the pool. The food, just wasn't up to, what I would call Disney standards. The pool, was nice, but closed early. The wait for the bus to any where, was LONG. Just not for me or my family.

A stay at the Contemporary Resort is just one of those Disney Must Do's. THIS is where it all began folks!!! We used to stay at the Contemporary when our son was younger. It is a convention hotel, and does have somewhat of a covention hotel *feel* it... IF you look for it. From Chef Mickey's to the gorgeous views and close proximity (walking distance!!) to the Magic Kingdom, it is just magical to ANY child (of ANY age ;) ) I still get a kick out of eating at Chef Mickey's with the Fab 5, and being able to see the Monorail come thru the Contemporary overhead. The Outer Rim bar is a nice place for adults to relax, with gorgeous views of Bay Lake. The arcade is alot of fun and large too! Contemporary Resort IS Disney!!!!

We absolutely LOVE The Polynesian Resort!!! We usually stay here every Fall, and as soon as the DME arrives at the Poly, that *vacation* feel starts. We have stayed in just about all the buildings, but really do enjoy the Club Level Hawaii building. (Lawrence, at the Concierge Desk, is just about the best CM I have ever encountered) The rooms are nice and large, and balconies are just a must do to start or end a perfect day at Disney. Watching Wishes on the Poly beach is wonderful!!! Kona Cafe, and Ohana (two of our fav Disney property restaurants) are both steps away, as is Captain Cook's for a quick Counter Service meal. (Pork nachos are outstanding!!) Although the Volcano pool is LOTS of fun, the quiet pool is perfect for a mid day pool break (get yourself a Pina CoLava from the Barefoot Bar and R-E-L-A-X) The grounds are so pretty and have a definate calming feel to it. Nights are sooooo quiet too! The transportation options are just about the best at the Poly, in our opinion; the Monorail, Bus or Ticket Transportation Center are all a short walk away. The rooms are a bit on the dark side, but still very relaxing. The beds are big, comfy and inviting at the end of every Disney Day. Room service is quick and delish!!! I HIGHLY recommend the Poly for a perfect Disney vacation! Aloha!!!
Plaza Restaurant

The Plaza is a nice break from the hectic Magic Kingdom and offers an almost hybrid table/counter service experience. The menu is mainly sandwiches, and the service does not require a lot of attention. So although it is a table service restaurant, it is very casual and laid back. The dining room is very small, and advance reservations are a must.
I had the Club sandwich, which was served with thick cut fries. It was great to have a non-standard Disney fry, a great change from the usual counter service variety that I was expecting. The sandwich was OK, nothing great. The desserts are ice cream based, and although fairly large, are nothing really unique or special.
I would hesitate to recommend the Plaza, as it is very average. There are better options available, but the Plaza is an acceptable choice.
50's Prime Time Café

This is another one of those unique Disney dining experiences that everyone should try at least once.
The interior decor is wonderful, like taking a step back in time to the 50s. The dining room is split into small rooms, full of all kinds of interesting 50s details. The restaurant is small, and on busy days it does feel rushed. The lobby check in area is very crowded and noisy, but fortunately the dining rooms are much calmer.
The servers put on a show as they go about their serving, and in my experience had the right level of being entertaining, and not annoying. They added to the experience.
Food was good, nothing spectacular, but more than acceptable. Portions were perfectly adequate, but on the smaller side compared to some restaurants. I do have to mention the milkshakes, as they are the best I have experienced at WDW. Very thick, lots of flavor, and generous in size. I would strongly recommend getting one!
Pricing is on par with other WDW restaurants, and reservations are generally a must do. If you like the Sci Fi Drive In across the park, the 50s Prime Time should also be on your list. They are both similar in that they offer very unique experiences, and although not offering great food, are still well worth a visit.
Tutto Gusto Wine Cellar
Reviewed by Melissa

I often don't write reviews for the Disney restaurants because the way we tend to eat on vacation probably wouldn't be useful to many. We don't use the Disney Dining Plan, and rarely do we order the typical entrée-and-dessert type meal. We're much more likely to enjoy a couple drinks and appetizers to share. Because of this, Tutto Gusto is PERFECT for us.
The bar can be crowded. When we visited during the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival, it was often standing room only, with long waits for a table. We didn't mind bellying up to the bar for some drinks and small plates, and we're glad we did.
There was an awkward moment when the bartenders repeatedly questioned our decision to order the Bruschetta Martini, which uses tomato vodka and a fresh basil garnish. I can't for the life of me understand why they regard the drink as being so strange, because the flavors work incredibly well together. It might have been one of the smoothest flavored "martinis" I've tasted in Disney World. Also excellent was the Rossini, a blend of puréed strawberries and prosecco. The dry sparkling wine cut through the sweet strawberry purée in a wonderful marriage of fruity effervescence.
For food, we ordered some panini. One was Prosciutto di Parma, and the other Gorgonzola. At $9 for one or $13 for two, the prices are a little steep. The panini are only a few bites each, but they do come with a small Caesar salad that was also quite tasty.
We'll definitely return to Tutto Gusto for drinks and a light meal. The prices are steep even for a resort location, but everything they serve is high in quality.

Alright I have been going to Disney for years and have always loved the themes they have each year. I have to say the last few years though have been kind of bland. I think they have really turned this around by doing Limited Time Magic. It started off slow, but I have been there for probably half of the events. And since we live right in Orlando we get to go pretty much every weekend. I went for Long lost friends week. I liked it but there were not a lot of characters to choose from. Then I went to true love week with my wife. It was real cool and we even got a special photo. The next time we went wasn't until the dance party at Hollywood Studios. Our kids loved that although it was a little hot. Next we went for the fairy week and my little girl about lost her mind. She was happier then she had ever been in her life! We have also been for Cinco De Mayo an Epcot and saw the three bird guys. ( The names slip me at the moment!) We went to the May the 4th be you party and my two sons loved it. For fellow Star Wars nerd like us there was nothing better! Finally we went today and watched Merida become a princess. We even took our little girl to the princess makeover thing in the castle so she could be a princess to. My wife doesn't know about the Mothers Day event but I am going to take her to get that special flower. =) I know some people think it is a cheap way to get guest to come but I like it. In fact I wish Disney would do these things all the time. I know I will be back for more Limited Time Magic, and I hope this review makes other people want to go as well!

I always book my holiday for October to enjoy this show and Mickeys not so scary Halloween party. The show features evil queen, Maleficent, Queen of hearts, hook, Jafar, Dr Facilier and other villain (which i can't remember his name from Hunchback) the music is awesome and the dancers are enjoyable to watch. after the show, you can meet the characters, however be warned: it is difficult to meet all of them as everyone makes a beeline for Maleficent and evil and Dr Facilier.
My husband and i bought about 4 mnschp tickets and each night queued for a different character.
also adult guests go out of their way to get dressed up in costumes for the party nights. some adult had gone as far as to make their own costume from scratch, others had bought a pirates hat and gone in normal clothes. either way the night is enjoyable and is always a good laugh (as Disney always is)
Te first showing is always packed due to families. my husband and i waited until the 10pm showing where it was still busy, but families had already left the park, so at least we could move. there are 4 showings each night but i would get there early to ensure that you have a good view. We tend to get there an hour before and other people had already selected their spots. we took sweets/ coffee and sat near the rope at the front and read our kindles while we waited.
My husband is disabled and there isn't a disabled viewing area so we had to shuffle forward as much as we could to ensure he could see.

You can smell it from across the street - the school bread, the pretzels, the cakes. One of my favorite bakeries in WDW (if not the world), Kringla takes the cake for deliciousness. Prices are average, if not low, for WDW. Another great place to use your quick-service dining plan credits, the sandwiches are just as delicious as the sweets. Top it off with the pavilion's charm and atmosphere, and you have a great lunch.

I love this restaurant. I don't even like Mexican food, but I love this restaurant. The atmosphere is one of the liveliest in WDW, and the food is authentic (a little USA-ized). The tables, however, are very crowded. So if you aren't a people person, you may want to sit this one out. Service is friendly, but not exceptional.
Overall, the atmosphere steals the show. Food is good, but service could use a boost.

British food seems to offer the same advantages no matter where you are - warm, hearty, and fairly-priced. While not a bargain, this is one of the less-expensive restaurants in Epcot. The food is prepared very well - some of the best fish and chips I've had. The atmosphere is pretty basic - exactly what you would expect from an authentic British pub - comfortable but never elegant.
Overall, this is a good deal for Epcot. Definitely recommended if you want to sit down and eat, but not pay a fortune.

This was one of the biggest surprises at WDW. Not accustomed to this cuisine, my family was initially off-put by the outlandish dishes. Overall, the food was good and seemed very true to its Mediterranean roots. Unfortunately, we did not get to see any of the entertainment and were a bit disappointed. It took place in the adjacent room, but never came into our dining room. The service and atmosphere were both lively and fun, with very friendly (patient) staff to ease us through ordering.
Overall, this is a good restaurant with very authentic food. I will probably not return, but am very happy that I tried it.

France is known for some of the greatest chefs of all time. None of them work here. Chefs de France is all about large portions and mediocrity. The food is good - just not up to the standards of the classic French dishes they attempt to serve. Service is rushed (if not rude). On top of this, trying to swallow hot, dense food in a glass greenhouse in central Florida is pretty difficult.
Overall, the food is ok. It's the clash between the upscale atmosphere, mediocre food, and screaming children that leaves you wanting more.

Once one of the greatest restaurants in WDW, food quality has not been rising to match the rising prices (due to excessive demand with the Disney Dining Plan).
Aside from price/value, the quality of the restaurant is still the best at WDW. The food is cooked to perfection (maybe a little over-salted), and the service is a few tiers higher than other WDW restaurants. The restaurant is well-decorated, but dark - comfortably so. As with many WDW restaurants, the waiting room is cramped and the hosts are not terribly welcoming.
Overall, this restaurant is no longer the best at WDW, if even in the running. Food and service are great, but neither matches the menu prices.

One of the most-improved restaurant at WDW over the years, Coral Reef is now worth its title of "upscale dining." It's one of the few places at WDW where children aren't allowed to run rampant, so it's a great place to relax if you've been seeing too many screaming mommies.
The food is great - very fresh seafood prepared very well (especially for Florida). Service is about the same as at any Disney restaurant, with the exception of overworked hosts/hostesses. The showstopper of the restaurant is the atmosphere. Dining inside one of the largest aquariums in the world is definitely worth the trip, even if the decor is starting to look a little (Saved by the Bell-style) dated.
Overall, a great restaurant with great food and fabulous atmosphere.

Don't go for upscale cuisine - go for the atmosphere and entertainment.
Set in an outdoor German village (although the restaurant is indoors), the spread features authentic German dishes, some not-so-authentic American dishes, as well as a nearly-continuously-playing Oompah band. The atmosphere and Oompah band make for a lively setting that far outweighs the quality of the food. If you're looking to try some German dishes, however, this buffet provides many options. If you aren't interested in German dishes, however, your selection is much more limited.
Overall, this isn't one of the better restaurants in Epcot, but the atmosphere and band make for a very fun experience.

Disney really hit it home with this new area of the park. I use to walk straight through Fantasyland but not anymore! The new area is so pretty. They put so much work into making it feel like you were really there! I loved walked through the Enchanted Forest and being in the movie of Beauty and the Beast. The Little Mermaid ride may be a clone, but it is a very good one! I do not care what people say about it being cheap, I love it! The outside is amazing as well! Even the new Storybook Circus is absoutley adorable! They did a very good job of transforming this into something new and in my book more popular. Some people may not like the new area but I certainly do! Now we just got to get that awesome looking mine train open! =)

This park is the best park out of them all. To me this park is even better then Universial down the street. What the park lacks in rides and a solid theme, it makes up for in great detail and beauty. All the rides here are very unique and interesting rides worth riding multiple times. Even the great movie ride is still worth the wait. This is a park that will only get better as it keeps growing and improving! The only reason I do not give it a 10 is because it needs a more solid theme. I think the word studios is used a little loosely. The only thing that fits that is the backlot tour which is probably the only ride not worth waiting for. Once they replace this I think the park will be a little better and be worth a 10!

Disney turning the former toontown into a dumbo area was genuis! This is probably my sons favorite area to be in. He loves playing in the tent while we wait to ride Dumbo. In fact he probably prefers it! Both him and his sister love to ride the barnstormer (AKA the Great Goofini) It is the one coaster in Disney that both can ride and they love it. My little girl couldnt help but play in the soaking station. (Luckily we did bring a extra pair of clothing in case of any accidents.) My wife adored the home made kettle corn at the big top store. The only thing I would have liked to see was for them to make a different version of the goofy coaster completley. Make it new but keep it so little kids can ride. Other then that this place was great! This is probably the one place in the park where we all have fun and can ride everything! Thank you Disney for making such a great place to spend time!

Sandy and I attended the Yachtsman Steak House on our April 15-24 2013 trip. It had been four years since our last Yachtsman visit...
Ordered the 8 Oz Filet, medium rare.
Steak perfectly cooked, as it was on our last visit. Good presentation, good service, good atmosphere. However - despite perfect cooking, the meat itself was a bit sub-standard. Contained gristle, and was dry, despite the sauce.
I suspect Yachtsman may be experiencing the DDP Quality down-spiral: chefs are doing a great job, but raw ingredients are suffering in the quest to "save money".
Would rate Yachtsman as a B- Signature... lower cost than Shula's, but poorer offerings. Would suggest Shula's as a superior alternative.

Im going to be quick and say that you should only ride if it is boiling hot or the line is short. The themeing of the entire thing is good. I like the save the forest story it has going for it. Sadly it is way WAY to short. You wait 30 minutes in line to ride for 5 minutes. Plus only two or three people are going to get real wet. So make sure you know what you are doing before you ride. Hopefully Disney will improve this in the future as this is a fail to me. I give it a good rating due to its good story. Sorry Disney.

But this buffet....Lordy. We ate there once and made plans to go back the next night. There were just too many options to choose from and everyone could get what they wanted.
In fact...we had eaten at the more expensive Jiko the night before and while it was excellent, we could have been just as happy at this place.
The coconut curry chicken soup was one I fantasized about for weeks. I'm pretty sure I saw more than one person lick the bowl (kidding but not by much). The watermelon rind salad, with ribbon thin slices of watermelon tossed in an herby vinegarette sauce, oh my!

Ok, maybe I'm talking about things that nobody cares but:
I understand that when you are dealing with a ride that has only one track system you must keep that ride relatively short to keep the lines moving.
But Rock n Rollercoaster is ridiculously short. To the point that I'd NEVER wait more than 20-30 minutes for it in standard que and most always, when visiting in high seasons, use fast pass.
I remember the first time I rode it and we popped up over that last little hump that leads you to the straightaway and unloading area; I remember thinking this must be part of the ride prepping us for the second half or even last one third?
Nope. Ride over.
I cannot believe that a single engineer or imagineer or designer didn't think to themselves "Wow that's a quick, short ride. Too short. Should I put my hand up? Gosh I want to. But after that parking spot incident I want to lay low for a while. I thought reserved meant me. Focus. That ride is soooooooo short. Eww, lunch is here".
Even 20 seconds more. Another loop. A cork screw. The first verse of Adam's Apple. My wife and I rode it 11 times in a row. Off season. As fast as we could run back to the recording studio we'd be on the ride again. Parks were empty. Only that way could we even come close to feeling fulfilled.

Ok so I am going to go ahead and say that I was a big World of Motion fan. When the ride shut down I was super sore about it. I didnt ride Test Track when it had opened at first, but eventually the speeding cars at the top of the ride looked to fun to miss. So when I rode it I feel in love completly. Needless to say I was upset when they decided to refurb the thing. I was even more upset when I started reading all the terrible reviews of the attraction. i did not want to watch the video until I rode it in person, but I was not excpectng what I saw. The new line que was so much more organized and sharper then the last one. The old que was super cool with the moving parts, but this just seemed more modern to me. Making the car was cool, but they need to make it where people could skip it if they wanted to. Maybe they can place them in a line that keeps going? Anyway the loading que was nice, but the ride was still the best part. I did not feel like I was on the same ride, and you have to remember we are talking about a Test Track junkie. It felt very futuristic and was very cool! I have told my friends how great it was, and we are going to making a trip down to Orlando very VERY soon! So I give this a very high rating compared to the others!

I had read the reviews on here and totally thought this would be a terrible ride. When we went to Magic Kingdom a few weeks ago we saw it didnt have a long ride so we rode it anyway. The rockwork on the outside of the ride.....wow! I was blown away by the detail and the work they had put into it. the interactive Scuttle was really neat as well. When we got on the ride I was ready to be let down but I was not. Most of the animotrinics were really good looking, and the ride has that perfect screen to AA ratio. I was not even bothered really by the bad lighting in the Under the Sea room. It was really good, and even though it jumped from scene to scene, you could still put the story together. My only main complain is some of the AA's look real cheap looking compared to others. My other complaint is that they use the same cheap looking AA's in the final scene. So the final scene makes no sense in a way. Other then that this was a great ride inside and out, and I will be back!

When it comes to July and August, the thought of being drenched with freezing water fills you with joy. But in the space of around 3 or 4 minutes, you simply don't have time to cool off! There is always one or two people who are in the spot where soaking occurs, but that's it. The one drop is fun, but the rest of the ride lacks in design and interest. "Popeye And Bluto's Bilge Rat Barges" @ Universal IOA definitely comes out on top in the raft ride rift!

Expedition Everest... what can I say! When you walk up, and see that colossal mountain looming overhead, you get that pang of fear and excitement. And the ride doesn't disappoint! The first climb is breath-taking and spine-chilling, and then you drop into the mountain. The speed s just enough, without being overwhelming, a when you reach the broken track, your stomach flips over. And still with the reverse and cave to come! I'm not going to say any more, as I don't want to spoil it, but seriously, RIDE IT! You won't regret it!

Perfect for a warm afternoon at the waterpark. My boyfriend got the pulled pork slaw dog while I got the chili dog. While it wasn't the best I'd ever had, it was pretty tasty and just enough.

We were just in Epcot last week and decided to check this out because it had no line. Well, there is a reason there wasn't a line. It was really bad. Hard to believe this is a Disney attraction because it is horrible. Don't waste your time. Stupid, cheesy, boring. Just really dumb. I can't believe some people actually liked this. It was way better when it was Honey I Shrunk the Audience. They seriously need to replace this with something else.

Initially my 7 and 10 year old were a little frightened and said they would not ride Expedition Everest, but we managed to talk them into going on after we were given a pass from someone else. We all loved it! The special effects and yeti were so great! It really gets fun during the backward sequence and then launching out of the cave and down the steep drop! Our mouths dropped open and we have the pic to prove it! LOL! When going backwards it really does almost feel like you're going upside down! This is an awesome ride and a lot of fun even for the whole family if you like the bigger thrill rides. Big thumbs up to Disney for adding another great attraction!
