We ate here twice. The restaurant concept is a good one, and mobile ordering is excellent. The protein choices for the bowls are good. I liked both the tofu and the beef. However, the noodles in both meals were not particularly good and were overcooked and kind of sour. None of the sauces seemed to blend with the sourness of the noodles. I wish that the pods were offered to adults. They looked good. Self-service beverages are a good idea, but don't work well in reality. The area was crowded and not clean, due to children spilling liquids all over the drink machines. Outdoor seating is pleasant, but its hard to get to the drink machines due to the fact that some of the doors to the indoor restaurant don't open from the outside. Outdoor seating is largely long, shared tables.
Pros:
Potentially good food, if you make the right choicesCons:

I ordered the Sankuru Sadie's Seafood Stew. It was bland and flavorless. The coconut broth seemed to have no seasoning other than salt. The seafood was well-cooked, but the pieces were tiny and the octopus was chewy. I'll give the restaurant a second chance, thinking that I perhaps chose one of the weak entrees. The Kungaloosh dessert is yummy. Service is nice, but not amusing, as guidebooks led us to expect.
Pros:
Food is decent, service is goodCons:

I made the wrong selection - Pork Belly Ramen. Expecting to get actual pork belly ramen, I was disappointed to get a bowl with three small slices of pork, a few mushrooms, an egg (excellently cooked), a few noodles, and a huge amount of aging and raw carrots. The carrots so dominated the flavor that the meal became disgusting after a few bites, because the carrots tasted old. My alcoholic drink was good. I had been craving pineapple upside down cake, but based on the poor entree, I was reluctant to spend $12 on a slice of dubious cake. Service is friendly and efficient, but the floor near us was dirty after a large group left, and no effort was made to clean up.
Pros:
Good alcoholic beverages; good serviceCons:

Whoever is in charge of this restaurant needs to check the definition of "teriyaki" - it means glaze grilled. It does not mean boiled chicken and stewed beef slathered with sweet sauce. However, the plain rice was delicious, and the edamame was properly prepared. The setting is lovely and relaxing.
Pros:
Lovely setting, some food is goodCons:

This is the first time I have been disappointed with a meal at Sunshine Seasons. I ordered a sweet and sour shrimp stir-fry at the Asian counter, and it was horrible, with too sour a sauce and uncooked vegetables. I became sick to my stomach later in the day.

If you are over the age of 5 skip this. It is a total waste of time, the only place this is good for is sitting and you can sit elsewhere .

just retured from 5 nights at Boulder Ridge Villas. Our 4th floor dedicated 2 BR villa had views of the lake and pool. Enjoyed sitting out on the balony in the morning looking at birds, and at night watching the Water Pageant. Walks to the pools, main lodge and restaurants were shorter than i'd expected. staff very kind and helpful. the layout of the villa is a ery thoughtful one if you're there with two families.
Pros:
location, decor, amenitiesCons:
my only complaint is that i think the living room furniture could include more seating and more comfortable seating.Reviewed by DisneyRobin Review Date: 11/11/2019

Here’s a rundown of our night at the 1st Xmas party on Nov 8.
It was a drizzling in the evening and then the rain kept picking up throughout the night. Luckily, we brought rain jackets!
We arrived at the party at about 7pm. (Today, we did mk in the morning, ak in the afternoon, rested at our room in the contemporary for a while and then walked over to the party).
We walked up the back street behind Main Street where they handed out cookies, had lots of photo ops and had Xmas music playing - very festive!
We picked up some cookies at a few places on our way over to splash mountain. We walked right on twice in a row and then went on btm and just waited about 5 mins to ride.
After that, it was about 7:45 so we decided to watch the 1st parade. We walked up to a great front row spot in frontier land - right across from town hall. I videoed and took lots of pics. Fantastic parade as usual! Loved it!
Then, we picked up some more treats as we walked over to Tomorrowland for the speedway, Space and Monsters Xmas overlays. The speedway was festive but the rain was not that much fun - although it probably helped to keep the wait time down - only about a 5 min wait. We sat in a puddle and had a driving rain in our faces. Lol. We still had fun.
Space mt was about a 20-30 min wait but we were just happy to be out of the rain for a bit. We heard that the ride was having tech difficulties but it was up and running again. Super fun with the Xmas music and Xmas lights... it was much brighter inside than usual so we could see the tracks very well. Almost seemed like we were outside!
We missed the fireworks while we were on SM but it was pouring out so we didn’t mind.
Monsters inc was lots of fun with a Xmas theme to all of the jokes.
Club tinsel was cute. We had some treats and enjoyed watching the reindeer dance.
Then, we walked right on Winnie the Pooh and under the sea and at 11:20 waited about 15-20 mins for SDMT. Our last ride of the night was jingle cruise which we walked right on and had a very funny skipper! Great way to end the wet night.
On our way out, we danced to the Xmas music in the hub and took lots of pics as we walked down Main Street.
This was such a fun way to kick off the Christmas Season!
