We stayed for five nights at the end of July. This was a bucket list resort and had high expectations. The grounds are beautiful and feels like the tropics. Theme is top notch with island music, tiki torches, great ceremonial house, and pools/hot tub. We stayed in room with theme park view of Magic Kingdom but was at the end of Tuvalu where the construction is visible and heard. We were not disturbed by it as during the day we were in the parks when construction was going on and did not seem to start early or go on late in the day. Watching fireworks from room deck or the beach was very enjoyable as the music is piped in all over the resort. Others have complained about the ferry horns, but we enjoyed that and was not loud enough to wake anyone up. Dined at the Tambu Lounge and Kona Cafe (have done Ohana other times when not a resort guest) and the food was delicious. Pineapple Lenai always a treat! Trader Sam's was a highlight and by fluke our first night we were put on the list without having to stand in a line. The interactive experience, food and drinks along with great waitstaff, made for great memories! Agree with other posts the resort is overcrowded especially making dining difficult. Captain Cooks quick service was a great option for dining in our room or grabbing snacks after a day in the parks. The main pool was full of kiddos and if that is not for you, recommend the Lava Pool and Oasis Pool Bar. Enjoyed both as an adult kid free option. The room was not equal to the price point and that is after the re-theme to Moana. The decor and layout is great and room is kept very clean by cleaning staff, but room is average and really you are only sleeping there most days. Proximity to Magic Kingdom and other bay resorts made convenience to the park and transportation center and resort hopping an enjoyable experience. Side note, there is laundry room on premises but recommend not leaving your laundry bag or any items unattended as someone stole mine, really expected more from elite guests. Also, wish they had not taken away Spirit of Aloha dinner experience. Once in a lifetime experience!

We stayed at CBR the end of August for three days. Knew the resort is spread out and asked for premium location and received Barbados. Still close to the Skyliner and not far from main building and pool. Enjoyed the private pools proximity to the rooms and quiet to relax after a day at parks. Had a great meal first night at Banana Cabana in the open-air themed pool bar. Castaway Cay was great for walks, exploring, and private time. Riveria Resort a short walk to enjoy dining options and is also very close to Skyliner if you want to ride it back to CBR station versus walking path back. Free activities and games, plus fishing excursions available at extra cost! Grounds are beautiful and staff really helpful and polite. Did not dine table service at CBR and can only comment on the quick service market and grab & go. Both were great options and open late if you are hungry after parks or need a late-night snack. The rooms for a moderate resort were not equal to the price point but realize some rooms are being re-themed to Little Mermaid. Also, understand the main pool is under renovation so perhaps the accommodations and amenities will be update for your stay 2024 and beyond. We would stay there again as we loved the theme and open space layout with private pools and proximity to Skyliner and Riveria Resort. Note, the buildings only have steps to the second floor so if you are traveling with those who have mobility issues you will need to request first floor room.
Pros:
Spacious layout Free activities Fishing Beautiful grounds and theme Skyliner Riveria Resort EPCOT fireworksCons:

Loved our stay Dec. 2022 in the suites here. Perfect space for a family with the ability to have a separate bedroom and living space. The view was amazing and we watched the Epcot fireworks from our bed. It has wonderful access to so many restaurants and pools. Walking distance to HS and Epcot! Transportation here to MK is the only reason this resort doesn’t get a 10. The busses drop you off at the TTC. We walked over to the Boardwalk to take the bus from there instead. It is right next to Fantasia Mini Golf as well!
Pros:
Spacious Rooms, comfy beds, new, clean, and updated, feels luxurious! It has great pools and restaurants, amazing walkable location to two parks and other resorts. You get deluxe status here and extra park hours!Cons:
Transportation to Magic Kingdom is not the best. Parking fee per day is high.Review of Jurassic Park: The Ride

This ride is very fun, if you like to get wet. It might help if your not scared of the dark too.
Pros:
YOU GET WET!!!! Of course this is only a pro if you like getting wet. The story is very realistic, which is great considering the age of this attraction.Cons:
You get wet, which is a con if you dislike getting wet. Also not great if you have a kid who is afraid of dinos in the dark.Review of VelociCoaster

This cafe was decent. Nothing really stuck out compared to your everyday diner. I had the cesare salad and my friend had a pizza. Both were mediocre. Better dining options.
Pros:
It is close to the entrance of the park The theme of the decor is nice There is a car outside and i think its cool You probably don’t need a reservationCons:

Satu'li Canteen is an amazing restaurant at Disney's Animal Kingdom!
They have wonderful rice bowls, and pasta bowls that are absolutely delicious.
The scenery is so nice in there, that I'm surprised it's a quick service.
And the chips are amazing- I know that sounds really random, BUT THEY REALLY ARE.
We suggest stopping by next DAK trip you do.
