Food isn't anything special but we usually end up getting lunch here. Ordering one of nuggets/fries and an extra side of fries feeds my 2 teen girls and wards off them getting hangry.
Pros:
Quick, filling. Toppings bar is great if you like a lot of toppings on your burgerCons:
Nothing special in terms of food. There are better options if you want more than just basic offerings.Review of Earl of Sandwich

A budget conscious option in Disney Springs. MY favorite is the Italian and potato wedges. It isn't anything amazing or special- but the price is right. Because it is a lower cost option the line can be very long. It does move quickly. Do have someone in your party grab an open table if one is spotted.
Pros:
Price is good, sandwiches are decentCons:
Long line, not enough seating for all customersReview of Sprinkles

Where else can you order from a cupcake ATM? We have done just that several times and we normally eat them in the rocking chairs over by the welcome center. I love the banana one the most. We have one in our party who can't have sugar and she really like the sugar free Red Velvet offering. We have gone inside as well and one of my girls loves the cupcake shake offering. Often times this is our snack stop for an evening at Disney Springs.
Pros:
Some yummy flavors, sugar free offered, cupcake ATM is a must do at least once.Cons:
Probably more hyped than amazing in terms of actual food. Can be a long wait during busy times. ATM has been down or had very limited offerings several times we have tried to stop by.Review of Planet Hollywood Observatory

My daughter wanted to eat here for the first time for her 18th birthday. She was in a wheelchair at the time (post surgery) so it was difficult to navigate and she wasn't able to really get around the restaurant to see the memorabilia. Our server was fabulous. They got her celebration up on the big screen and even put her on camera. The food was good and dessert was "Instagrammable." They made a minor switch on the sundae at our request. Dinner for 4 with one dessert and tip ran just over $100. So it was pricey and not something we would do regularly.
Pros:
Dessert was gorgeous! Waiter made sure to help up celebrate the birthday in our party.Cons:
Things are pretty tight and we didn't really get chance to go see all memorabilia. It was pricey overall for what it was but it was nice for a celebration.Reviewed by survivoramy Review Date: 10/01/2018

Looking for a resort that isn't a ton of walking to get around? Then FQ is perfect for you! We love it here and have stayed twice. Ironically both times we were in the same building, same floor, just a few doors (and years) apart. We love that the boat is convenient to Disney Springs and the bus it also very convenient. Their is one issue with the boat launch area and that is for those with scooters/wheelchairs/strollers. The exit it up some stairs. So those on wheels must literally walk against the line of people waiting to load because the lineup area is on the ramp. When my oldest was in a wheelchair post surgery we hated having to get everyone to step aside to be able to get her back to resort. The New Orleans theming is great here. We love the food court - the beignets are always ordered. They even have a run advertised where you get beignets at the end.
Pros:
Compact resort, very well kept, love the boat to Disney SpringsCons:

Party of 5 ate here Labor Day weekend. This is a favorite of ours but this time found it disappointing. Ordered our usuals. French onion soup, steak and augratin potatoes. My husband always ordered a seafood dish and they took it off the menu. It took forever to get our food, it wasnt full. Our waiter seemed like he had other things to do as you could never find him. The food just wasnt the quality thst we were used to having. We probably will try somewhere else next and maybe revisit later. FYI on dining plan in the past was able to sub dessert for soup or salad was told cant do that anymore. Not sure if true or not
Pros:
French onion soupCons:

Ate here in July celebrating my moms 70 & daughter 10th birthdays. Arrived on time and took us in after having to park ECV. You get picture with Belle then you get seated. Other princesses arrive we had Sleeping beauty, snow white, cinderella. They put us in room all by ourselves and it took forever for the princesses to realize we were there. The food was subpar not alit of options. Cold cuts & cheese, eggs. Turkey sausage. Bacon. It is way overpriced for food. But to meet princesses would recommend it. Was there early enough that should have gotten done early enough to jump on Frozen before park opened but took 2 hrs waiting for princesses. We will not return
Pros:
Meeting princesses, get done early enough to ride Frozen without FPCons:

When tent camping in FL what do we want? Electric to plug in a fan and clean bathrooms nearby. Fort Wilderness had both and so much more! My brother has a trailer his family camps in and we just have a tent. We both booked and were able to be placed in sites in very close proximity. It was a short walk over to pool area. An internal bus took us around the whole resort. Kids must have shoes to get on bus though...older kids learned that the hard way and had a long walk back from shop area. Kids enjoyed pin trading at the store and watching the Water Parade from the beach at night. Most people do rent golf carts to get around or bring bikes. The night time fire and movie was fun. They did start with trivia but it wasn't too fun because adults will cheat and google answers. We did pack in our own Smore supplies because we didn't want to pay Disney prices for their Smore kit. Campsite had plenty of room to set up and bathrooms was always immaculate and climate controlled.
Pros:
Bathrooms are best ever for a campground. Sites are great with plenty of flat area to set tent and area to park.Cons:
Pool area got VERY crowded. Some rules aren't enforced and you do need to watch out for golf carts. Not everyone is a good driver.Review of Casey's Corner

We will ride the boat over from Disney Springs just to go here and get the Beignets. It is a highlight for us. It is just fried dough but it involved memories for us so it does taste special. Port Orleans French Quarter is one of our top two moderate resorts.
