I always make a point to hit Mickey's Philharmagic. I love the multisensory surprises and it's a nice way to get out of the heat and off your feet for a little bit.
Pros:
Short wait, air conditioned theatre, cute story with fun multisensory surprises.Cons:
Teens and tweens might not want to take time away from rides for the show.Review of Big Thunder Mountain Railroad

BTMR is a must-do for our family. We love the speed and that it's an outdoor attraction. The theming is great and has appeal for thrill seekers and those who might be a little bit on the edge of thrill seeking.
Pros:
Fun ride, great theming. On the tame side for a thrill ride.Cons:
Waits can be long without a fast pass. The ride can be a bit jerky if you don't brace yourself for dips and turns. I prefer a daytime ride when I can see what's coming next and prepare myself. On our last nighttime ride, I slid around the cart the whole time, crashing into my husband on the turns.Review of Fantasmic!

This night time extravaganza has a little bit of everything for everyone. Mickey Mouse? Check. Disney princesses (along with their princes!)? Check. Disney Villains? Check. A victorious ending? Most definitely!
Pros:
If you believe in the power of magic, this show is for you!Cons:
Make a Fast Pass or plan to get there early as it can get quite crowded.Review of Terralina Crafted Italian

My family of four ate here during April of 2019. We had eaten here when it was Portobello Yacht Club and were eager to try the new restaurant. We arrived early for our ADR and they were able to seat us right away, even though it looked like they were just opening up for the dinner crowd. Our waitress was knowledgeable and very friendly. The food was great! I had the vegetarian ravioli and it was so good, and the portion was big enough that I had to bring some back to our hotel. Everyone else in my party was also pleased with their meals. We're definitely planning to go back on our next trip.
Pros:
excellent food, welcoming waitstaffCons:

We always make a stop at Muppetvision. Even though it's a little corny at times, it's nostalgic to see the Muppets that we used to watch on TV.
Pros:
Short waits, a chance to get off your feet and cool off in an air-conditioned theatre. Cute show.Cons:
Teens and tweens might not be impressed, especially if they're not familiar with the Muppets.Review of Riverside Mill Lunch/Dinner

I really liked the diversity here. You can put together a healthy meal - or not! It was actually nice to get some vegetables in. You could see the food you’d be getting and make adjustments as you order since you’re mostly directly interacting with the person putting the order together. The food was good for quick service and hot. I had a really good pork bbq sandwich on Texas toast that was really delicious and filling. I don’t typically like coleslaw but enjoyed the light, refreshing version.
Pros:
Diversity, served warm for the most part, large seating area, get your own drink refills, pay with Magic band, nice views near windows, bakery with ice cream, quieter in the mid afternoonCons:
Gets crowded at meal times, lines can get long, some times food may have sat around for awhile (but I’d request fresher food or choose an alternative)Review of Carousel of Progress

If you love Disney history, this is a must do. It has been one of our daughter's favorites since she was a little one, and she shares it with everyone who visits the parks with us. It's also a great place to rest your feet and cool off for a little bit, so how can you go wrong by giving it a try?
Pros:
Disney history and air conditioning!Cons:
Be mindful of your Fast Pass times as this isn't a quick, five minute attraction.Reviewed by plipari Review Date: 06/12/2019

If you love thrill rides you will love RNR! If you're at all skittish I would recommend you sit this one out. On our last trip our younger son was now tall enough to ride. Our older son and I had ridden it several times on our last trip so I knew what to expect. My husband isn't one for thrill rides but wanted to give it a try. I don't care for the jerkiness of this ride so I went through the queue with my family and then used the chicken exit. Our boys loved the ride but my husband felt awful when he exited. He was disoriented and uncomfortable for the rest of the morning--it really did something to his equilibrium and I'm sorry to say that it ruined his day at HS.
Pros:
One of the best pre-ride experiences at WDW. The whole set up and back story is interesting so you hardly realize that you're technically still waiting in line for the ride.Cons:
Not for everyone--would only recommend this to folks who know what they're getting themselves into!Review of Chefs de France - Lunch/Dinner

We ate here during the week of April 22, 2019. We had first eaten here two years ago, hadn't been thrilled with the food, but wanted to try it again. Unfortunately, the experience had not improved. The tables are very close together and so if someone is seated next to your party, there is no privacy. Our waiter was not at all friendly. My mother had the French Onion soup, which she disliked. My daughter and I had the macaroni and cheese, which was average. We didn't stay for dessert because we just wanted to get out of there. For an expensive meal at Disney, I was surprised at both the service and the flavors. Next time we all agreed we'd rather go to Via Napoli for pizza!
Pros:
We had an ADR and were seated on time.Cons:
