Review of Big Thunder Mountain Railroad

Big Thunder is one of our favorite rides! The theming is great, and it is good for all ages. My husband, who is not into rides, loves this one. Sitting in the back is by far the best, as you go much faster. This is a bit of a rough ride, which may not be good for some riders. The line tends to move quickly and there are some activities in the queue to keep you occupied if you don't have a fastpass.
Pros:
fun queue, good theme, quick moving line, wildest ride in the wildernessCons:
can be rough, slow in the frontReview of Sci-Fi Dine-in Theatre Lunch/Dinner

We had a reservation for lunch, but my kids were starving about a half hour before our reservation time. When we went in they were happy to seat us early, and our server was really attentive and wonderful with our kids, even though they were hungry and crabby. Their attitudes turned around quickly once they realized we were basically at a drive-in, and they loved the whole experience. They accommodated a few special requests and were really helpful with my husband's dietary restrictions. Overall a really fun experience and great food too!
Pros:
Excellent service, good food, fun decor/experienceCons:

We stayed here at the end of Jan 2019, for 7 nights. We had a savanna view studio room on the 5th floor. I requested a room near the lobby, as I knew it could be a very long walk otherwise. The room itself was great. It was very clean and tidy. I especially like that the bathroom was separated with the toilet in its own room. It was very quiet, we had people on both sides of us and we never heard them. I think that is a distention between the level of Disney resorts. I have noticed the more moderate/deluxe resorts have MUCH better sound proofing than the values. The only real downside to the room was that the fan was on a very low speed and it could not be changed. I was very much looking forward to the sound and circulation of a fan, and it was basically useless. As for the resort, it is very beautiful. It is much smaller than Jambo House, which is nice because it is not as full of people not staying there, but it does not have that dramatic effect that you get when you enter the Jambo lobby. It also does not have a quick service restaurant, which really sucked! There is a very timely shuttle that will take you back and forth to Jambo. It came promptly every 5-10 minutes. The gift shop is also very small and doesn't have a fraction of the selection of Jambo. We did not experience the pool, as it was in the 50's when we were there. Another upside to Kidani is that the buses pick up and drop off here first. So, if it is a busy day, you will be more likely to get a spot. It is a wonderful resort, and we would absolutely stay here again.
Pros:
animals, theming, cast members, atmosphere, clean spacious rooms, shuttle to JamboCons:
location, no quick service, small shop selection, small communal spaceReview of Astro Orbiter

I went here by myself one evening when the rest of my family was tired and went home early. I had a pulled pork and macaroni and cheese plate that was super delicious, and got to sit pretty much by myself in a secluded area of the patio and look out at the water. If I had stayed I would have had a decent view of Rivers of Light! I'm looking forward to taking my whole family here the next time we visit.
Pros:
Food is really good, reasonably priced, lots of seating, gorgeous jungle setting.Cons:

This is my favorite resort. It is on the monorail and also a short walk to the MK. The rooms are large and it is the home of Chef Mickeys.

monorail resort, large rooms, walking distance to MK, Chef Mickeys, friendly cast membersCons:

We have been staying here for over 10 years and when I ask my family if they would like to stay at a different resort they say no. Bus service is usually good and I love how compact the resort is.
Pros:
All buildings close to lobby, gift shop, food and pools.Cons:

If you love roller coasters, you will love this. I thought it was listed as family friendly which I mistook for meaning anyone could handle it. Well I get motion sickness and despite having taken motion medicine, I felt awful for about 2 hours afterwards. It looks so fun from the outside but not for the faint of stomach.
