Love this ride. Even though the day we went, I was feeling great so I did experience a bit of motion sickness, but it's still such a great ride.
Pros:
If you go at rope drop, the wait is more minimal than going shortly after park opening.Cons:
By going at rope drop, you get fed through the lines very quickly and you don't get into the "longer wait" queues which you miss a lot of the theming inside which is really cool.Reviewed by Elaine Review Date: 06/12/2019

I am a DVC member and we were out of points so we knew we had to book something using cash. We chose WDW Dolphin since my husband is a Sheraton club member. Overall the hotel was great but since it's not a Disney owned hotel, it was missing some of the Disney appeal. The location is great with walking distance to both Hollywood Studios and Epcot or can take the boat to either. The room was very large and we had 2 verandas since we had a corner room overlooking the fireworks. Never saw them from our room since we were always out late at night so this upgrade definitely wasn't worth it. To get to our room, felt like a mile of twisting and turning hallways. The exit stairs right near our room stated the alarm would go off if you used them. So our stay was nice, but I did miss the Disney appeal.
Pros:
Location, location, location!Cons:
Didn't quite feel like a hotel located inside Disney since owned by SheraonReview of Yak and Yeti Restaurant

Overall the park was great. It is basically a typical waterpark though. My family is very into water parks and had a blast. For myself - not so much into the whole soak and bake kind of day. We rented a cabana which turned out to be great for a respite from the sun and water, and had it's own locker so we felt comfortable leaving valuables locked up rather than out in the open like so many people in the chairs areas. The supposed service that was to be included, however, was far below par and we were very disappointed on that end. Not sure we'd do it again for the $$$. Also, we purchased ahead and wore "water shoes" (the kind that is allowed which are soft-bottom styles, kind of like thick socks made out of neoprene). However, by the end of the day, these were completely destroyed! There were holes in the bottoms for everyone in the family. We threw them away on the way out they were so bad. But we realized that would have been the bottom of our feet had we not had those on. So, even as "throw aways", they saved our feet from getting torn up from the very rough ground (Everywhere, not just in the pools) and from the hot, hot surfaces. Defintely recommend getting some.
Pros:
It's a water park! With great themes throughout.Cons:
It's a water park...with all the standard faults of such environments. Cabana rental not really worth it.Reviewed by DebQ Review Date: 06/12/2019

We have stayed many times over the years at POR. Love the landscape, amenities and activities. Really like the curtain separating the bathroom area from the bedroom area - so as not to disturb others who are trying to sleep. Love the fact that they have multiple pools - as the main pool is usually crowded. This is a large resort that requires a good deal of walking - so keep that in mind when booking. This is our "go to" moderate resort.
Pros:
room size, amenities, service, variety in the food courtCons:
walking distance to main lobby areaReview of General Exhibits and Experiences

My daughter and I went to the Festival in October 2018. This was a first time for us and we absolutely loved it. Went on a Wednesday, and it certainly wasn't crowded. Could always find a table to eat our samplings. The variety of food and drink was amazing, and it is nice that the portions that they give your aren't so huge. You could try a lot throughout the day and not get so full. Wish we could have tried more. Coming back this fall. Will be on our "must do" list every time we come to Disney.
Pros:
Variety of food/drink. Portion sizeCons:

This is a must do! This ambience alone is worth going into this restaurant.The different rooms you get to choose from. We really enjoy the room with the picture of the beast and the flower in it,but we would sit in any one of them and still enjoy.
Pros:

Went to the Halloween Party in October 2018, going again this September. We went on a Tuesday, and found it not to be all that crowded. Lines for rides were almost non-existent. It was so much fun to dress up (2 adult women!!) and trick or treat and participate in the party. A joy to see others in costume and the children having fun and the interaction with all of the characters that were out. Fireworks were awesome. I would fully recommend attending - although I would certainly go during the week and not on a weekend.
Pros:
Fun, lots of characters, easy ride accessCons:

My family and I love to go to the Food and Wine festival. We love experiencing different types of food and this is a perfect selection.You also have the bonus of the Eat to the beat concerts, which is an added bonus because its FREE!
Pros:
The different countries you get to choose from. free concerts. food is amazing for most part. you still get everything in Epcot plus the added bonus of the food festival.Cons:
the weather, depending on when you go, can be very hot and humid. sometimes the food at the kiosks can be old,so not as good.Review of 50's Prime Time Cafe Lunch/Dinner

Every time we come go to Hollywood Studios, we always go to the 50's. We go for lunch, and it is a great way to take a break from the park and the warm weather. \"Comfort food\" at its finest. A great way to get away from the burgers, fries and pizza. The service is always excellent and it is great fun to interact with your server. However, if you can't take a little teasing, then don't here as you won't find their antics enjoyable. It's our \"go to\" restaurant at DHS.
