This place was a lifesaver. After many days of lackluster GF snacks at the parks, we discovered Erin McKenna's. Keeping in mind that it is very difficult to duplicate baked goods without gluten, the quality and variety of this store was exceptional. We ventured back to DS three times just for my daughter to come here.
Pros:
Excellent GF optionsCons:
We got lost all three times we tried to come here, but hat may be on meReview of Chicken Guy

OK, I'm surprised that I am the first to review this restaurant, but I feel compelled to do so because it was the surprise hit of our trip. We ate there the first day of our vacation because we didn't want to hit the parks on a crowded half day. We chose to eat here because it we found it first. The line was long but moved incredibly fast, but even with that they spent all the time necessary to assist my daughter with celiac. The five of us got tenders and dipping sauces and could not contain ourselves from sharing and passing them around. We ended up coming back and eating here on our last day as well.
Pros:
sauces and speedCons:

Ate here twice in Jan 2019 out of convenience and because the kids loved the honey mustard here. Chicken tenders were good, burgers were a bit bland and dry (which is pretty typical of a Disney quick service but without the toppings bar). We liked grabbing a table outside to watch the Padawan show, which is very cute.
Pros:
good Padawan show viewing from outside, good honey mustardCons:

Another great lunch here in Jan 2019. This place is a must do every trip - super fun atmosphere, good food and service. The buffalo chicken salad was fresh and crunchy, classic American burger was cooked perfectly and seasoned well. DS had the cheesesteak sandwich, who said it was delicious. Can't wait to go back!
Pros:
atmosphere, food, good pricesCons:

We love this place. Lobster bisque was quite good, ham baguettes were great but the best thing we had was the Poulet au Pistou - chicken and pesto sandwich on absolutely wonderful fresh bread. Crème brulee was delicious, as was the napoleon.
Pros:
Great bread, sandwiches and pastriesCons:

We ate here for breakfast during our Jan 2019 trip. 3 traditional breakfasts, 1fried green tomato and lobster eggs benedict. The fried green tomato was great but unfortunately one of the "poached" eggs was cooked as hard as a rock, inedible, and the lobster had shell in it (a very painful bite). The manager was very sorry and sent out some waffles to make up for it. The rest of the food was fine, waffles were quite good and came with some sort of vanilla sauce that we all loved. We'd definitely try this place for breakfast again.
Pros:
great waffles, good service, great view of castleCons:

On our 12th visit to WDW, we finally tried Pinocchio Village Haus. Our first mistake was going at noon. It was madness. It took us more than 30 minutes to find a table. When we did finally find one, a VIP tour guide cast member actually swooped in and took it away from us for her "VIP" guests. It was embarrassing and upsetting. We also used Mobile Ordering. Every person waiting for their food via the app, most whom had been notified by the Mobile Order app that their food was ready, was crammed into a small space and down the main aisle. With the mobile ordering, it took at least 45 minutes to get our food. If the app would have allowed, we would have cancelled our order. And no, there was no cast member you could reach among the hundreds of guests in there to ask if cancellation was an option. 3 flatbreads and one cup of soup. Expensive for the small portion and quality, food was cold and tasteless. The worst dining experience ever at WDW, times 10. I would not go back, ever, even if they were giving their food away.
And one more thing about the VIP tour guide - apparently more and more people are using this service, which is a bit concerning. We saw families with the VIP guides everywhere, all week. This VIP guide that took our table was extremely rude - a slap in the face, really, to make other guests at the park feel so second rate in such a public display. I wish I had gotten her name.
Pros:
0. Literally 0. Food, service, atmosphere, all a big 0Cons:

My work and I ate dinner here on January 10, 2019. We both had the onion soup whic was very good. My wife had the salmon and I had the Beef Bourguignon. My wife liked the salmon. However, the beef was dry and over cooked. The bottom of one of the pieces was burned and hard. Not something I would ever order again. Also, because the restaurant is popular, the tables are close together and the room is VERY noisy.
Pros:
Servers were very good and the atmosphere was appropriate for the setting.Cons:
Noisy. Not all of the food was worth the price. Not a consistent quality.Review of Cosmic Ray's Starlight Cafe

We typically love this place (Sonny is fun, toppings bar is very good) but our last trip in Jan 2019, we only visited once. Shared some chicken nuggets and fries - which were fine. This place is currently under construction so seating was very limited and Sonny is not currently showing. We hear he'll be back so we'll try this again next visit.
Pros:
inexpensive, good toppings barCons:

Ate here twice during our January 2019 7 day trip to WDW. Can't recommend the Ahi tuna nachos enough, also recommend the Korean BBQ ribs and the chicken lo mein - they're also both great. We tried the Korean meatballs dish, which was ok - the noodles and meatballs were actually quite good but the sauce that came on them was too sweet. Bartenders here are great, service has always been A+.
