We had a great experience at the Garden Grill. The food was delicious, there was a variety of choices in the family-style meal, we enjoyed interacting with characters, and even looking for hidden Mickeys. The rotating restaurant was cool when we got to look into the greenhouses as well.
Pros:
Variety of choices, family-style with refills available, unique themingCons:
limited choices for vegetarian (although we were there before anyone in our party was vegetarian, so they may have been able to accomodate)Review of Beach Club Villas (Disney Vacation Club)

We had a standard studio booked and because of a mix up with reservation we were upgraded to a 2 bedroom villa. It was absolutely gorgeous, so much room for 6 of us. Very clean and nicely decorated. The bathrooms and bedrooms were large and there was lots of space for everything for our 5 night stay. The balcony was huge and view was gorgeous! Mousekeeping delivered us extra towels, soap etc whenever we requested. Beds were extremely comfortable.
Pros:
This resort is so convenient when visiting Epcot and a lovely walk or boat ride to HS. The location is amazing. The atmosphere is great, grounds are beautiful and as a bonus it is right across from the Boardwalk where there is more shops and food etc. And of course there is the amazing pool which can’t be beat! And that wonderful fresh scent you get when walking in the lobby is the best! Every single staff member we encountered went out of their way to welcome us !Cons:
I honestly can’t think of any negative thing about this resort! We enjoyed everything about it! The only thing that would stop me from staying there at each and every visit to WDW would be of course the price, I think you get what you pay for and even though we can’t stay here every visit I definitely would save up to stay at least once a year here.Review of Tom Sawyer Island

i still think this is classic disney fun. no frills, just your imagination and a little escape to nature. take the raft to the island, wander through the caves and trails like you would with tom and huck. when do we get to do that anymore?
Pros:
simple and all imagination. kids will enjoy running free for a spell!Cons:
gave it a seven only because some might be disappointed in its simplicityReviewed by dawn Review Date: 06/13/2019

I spent a couple hours here one afternoon. The comfy chairs were definitely a luxury after walking thru Animal Kingdom. As I don't drink I was excited to try the non-alcoholic drinks. I ordered the Zingiber Fizzie. The first couple of sips were a little off-putting but after that I really liked the drink and would get it again. As for the food I ordered Smoked Pork Ribs. These were excellent however it was some work to get the meat off of the bones. I would like a few more options on the menu but I see that they want to keep the menu on the smaller size. I also ordered the churros. These were really good however I was not a fan of the chili-strawberry sauce however I don't like spice so that was a personal preferences.
Pros:
Good drinks (even non-alcoholic)Cons:

I did this tour at the beginning of May. I decided to take this tour because I wanted to see all of the gardens & topiaries and have a chance to take pictures. I like that Disney gives you a headset so that you can hear everything that the guide is saying. Our guide took us first over to the Test Track area then we made our way to the butterfly garden and then over to Mexico and around World Showcase with the tour ending in Canada. The guide gave us a lot of information on how they create the gardens and the topiaries and tried to add ways that you could implement this information into your own gardens. The only drawback is that there was a lot of standing and listening. It would have been nice to have a few places to sit and rest the feet (there was a stop in the American Adventure at the picnic tables). At the end of the tour we did get a special pin plus a handout of the information that the guide provided. Overall the tour was great and I would do again.
Pros:
Lots of information.Cons:
Lots of standing around/walkingReview of Pop Century Resort (Value Resort)

I stayed here at the end of April, beginning of May. This was my 3rd time staying here, the first time with the re-designed rooms. Even though the room size did not change it seemed like there was more space. I think this may have been due to the murphy bed. Most of the time I was staying solo so this bed was kept up. But even when others were with me it didn't seem to take too much room. There was a lot of plugs and usb ports. The whole room was sleek and clean looking. The bathroom is well laid out, loved the shower, and I like the sliding door that can close off the bathroom area. My only negative with the room is when you have the murphy bed down the table disappears. It would be nice to still have the table & chairs. This stay I did have a room that was relatively close (Bldg 3) to the main building. The last stay the room was very far for me (Bldg 7) so location of the room can have a negative effect. I had the 2nd to last room in the building and it was quiet.
Pros:
Clean, streamlined rooms. Lots of storage.Cons:
Furthermost bus stops at parks. Room locations is far if you are in 80's or 90's.Review of Avatar Flight of Passage

TBH i didn't think this was great the first time. i could see out the sides of the glasses and that distracted me from being immersed. second time i made the effort to make it happen. it's a very cool experience and should not be missed! that being said, get a fast pass. i would not wait 2 or more hours.
Pros:
amazing technology, state of the artCons:
loooong lines and hard to get a fast pass!Review of Alien Swirling Saucers

i love this mini mexican small world boat ride! the 3 caballeros take you on a crazy tour of what a mexican vacation might be, while floating through an animatronic wonderland of small world style dolls and ending in a grand fireworks display.
