All three of the Fest's shorts are wonderful. Funny, emotional, and striking in 4D. A great place to take a break and cool down when EPCOT gets a little too sunny.
Pros:
Nice mix of shorts, AC, relaxing breaktime, emotional & fun storytelling.Cons:
They've played the same 3 shorts for maaaaaaaany years. Needs an update to make it a true film festival.Review of Canada Far and Wide

Meh. With Eugene Levy and Catherine O'Hara as narrators, how are 2 of Canada's funniest people so painfully unfunny? Zzzzz.
Pros:
Circlevision is fun to experience onceCons:

Perfect 1/2 way point within the World Showcase. Take a break, catch a show, marvel at the plethora of animatronics, and (quietly & respectfully) sing along to its signature finale song.
Pros:
AC, length of relaxation, incredible animatronics.Cons:
Length of show, overtly patriotic.Review of Bay Lake Tower (Disney Vacation Club)

This is our home resort, so I usually know what to expect. Room was clean upon arrival and ready an hour early, so that was a plus. Our party had one 2BR. For a room that is supposed to sleep 9 people and one infant, it came with a whopping three small trash cans (I mean small) and they were only officially emptied once during our stay. Disney should assume if you're staying in a 2BR at Disney that there are probably several children/infants involved that generate a ton of trash (think diapers, juice boxes, snacks, etc.). We had to empty our own trash daily and place it in the hallway for pick up. The towels we had had to last the week and, again, assuming there's 9 people including many children, we ended up washing our own towels in our in unit washer with our own detergent, time, etc. There was no broom/dustpan or vacuum to sweep up messes, and we were literally walking on crumbs in the main living area constantly. We requested a broom and an additional pack and play on day two from housekeeping and never received it. We requested the broom again later in the week and never received it. Considering housekeeping services basically no longer exist, they should at least give you the means to clean up your messes yourself.
Pros:
Great location.Cons:
Lack of essentials in 2BR.Review of T-Rex

Food was better than expected. Server was attentive and very interactive with the kids. Waited forever, and I mean forever, for our food. We were in the restaurant for a full two hours. It was rough.
Pros:
Food options.Cons:
Too long of a wait for food, especially if you have kids.Review of Cinderella's Royal Table Breakfast

What a wonderful group of princesses. They were patient, smiling, so accommodating, just great casting on the part of WDW. We were so pleased. The food also was a pleasant surprise. I thought breakfast was tasty and also well timed. We did not feel rushed at all.

What a pleasant surprise. The food was very good, from the salads to the sides to the main courses. Dessert options were a little thin. I have eaten here at least three other times (under protest), and the food was just awful, so I was really happy to find that things have turned around.
Only complaint was the character interactions. They came around moments after we were seated and most of us had left to go get food. Someone did come around and ask if we had seen all of them and then tried to redirect later on so that we had interaction with all characters.
Pros:
The food (suprisingly).Cons:
Rushed character interactions.Review of Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue

This show is just a great time for everyone. The performers give everything they've got and they are so good with interacting with the audience. I try to bring anyone who hasn't been before to a show. I did notice a decline in food quality this trip that I wasn't expecting. We had soggy fried chicken, flavorless mac 'n cheese, watery potatoes. I didn't get to try the beans or ribs. Dessert was even meh. Bring back the quality HDD.
Pros:
The entertainers.Cons:

Always a go to spot for character breakfast for our family but this last visit, we did notice a decline in food quality. There is no more carving bars and no more omelette station. There are sliced meats and pans of two different premade omelettes but definitely not the same. There seemed to be less of a selection of food, but the food there was, for the most part, good and well prepared. Character interactions are excellent.
