We stayed at the Jambo House from 05/12-05/20/18. We rented points through David's DVC rentals. We absolutely loved the place! The view from our balcony each day was spectacular. The bus service was very good. We highly recommend the Starlight Safari tour!! Very educational and a great way to get up close with the animals.
Pros:
Great room, great restaurants.Cons:
The lobby was a little dark for our liking. Wish it was a little brighter in there, but a minor detail.Review of Caribbean Beach Resort (Moderate Resort)

We had our worst stay at a Moderate at the CBR. We found a dropped pill on the carpet when we first checked in. I am glad there were not young children we us. We googled and found out what prescription was and it was something for Acid Reflux I think. We also found an empty fruit cup container up under the bed. We did enjoy walking around the resort...the center island was very nice. The feature pool is one of our favorites at a moderate - the slide is very fun. We did try a quiet pool but our skin felt weird when we got in that one so we got out. All of us broke out in a rash afterwards. We alerted Disney and we were given a resort credit. The resort is very big so there are a lot of guests. The feature pool can get very crowded. The bus returning to CBR from the park was also super crowded.
Pros:
Feature pool is awesome!Cons:
We had an issue with cleanliness and pool maintenance. I believe both to be a rare exception. We have logged many Disney stays and only 2 times have they not lived up to potential. Not sure I would go back to CBR though.Review of Casey's Corner

First time dining here using ROL pkg in July. We checked in 30 min early due to pending storm clouds. Took us right away. They have a covered wauting area with ice water available. Characters came around in a timely manner. Buffet was very good. Really enjoyed coconut shrimp curry & chicken curry. Wasnt very spicy but that was good. Was on dining plan so got adult beverages. Similiar to pina colada but with raspberry puree. You can find at most restaurants. Read mixed reviews about ROL pkg but was totally worth it. Front row seats even with my mom who was in ECV
Pros:
Chatacters, variety of food and desserts, lots of seating roomCons:

The best of the value resorts for sure! My middle child adored the Cars area. We took so many great pics there. The Nemo pool where you can hear music underwater is very cool. I do miss the lack of water slides when we choose a value over a moderate. We took a lot of pictures at all the different themed areas. Our room was great. We stayed in a standard Ariel room Our view was just landscape but it was pretty. The room met our needs and we had no issues with bus transportation at all. We weren't using it at the most popular times/parks though. Check in was great and my middle child enjoyed drawing on an easel while we waited. We checked out the shop and arcade area and it was all great - as expected at Disney. Pricey in shop but everything in Disney is.
Pros:
One of mine is a CARS fanatic so she loved that area! The Nemo pool was great.Cons:
I can't think of any...well I guess we wish values had a water slide as a pool feature.Review of Restaurantosaurus

Ate here lunch in late July. Did mobile order. My mom who was using an ECV had to park outside and went to find a table while my dd10 & myself waited in line to see Launchpad. I didnt finish the mobile ordering and went inside to locate my mom before I did only to find out she had went & got food. My app stated to finish order but it was done. It was very husy and avlatge # of school kids were there running everywhere. The fixins bar was either empty or food everywhere. The pop machine was also empty for only a few choices. Garbage was full. The food was ok. I got chicken sandwich which was typuxal. My mom got cheese burger she liked it. My daughter git kids burger meal that came in a sand bucket with shovel. We threw it away cuz I wasnt carrying it around. We usually eat at Flame tree but we were at this location.
Pros:
In door seating with air conditioning.Cons:
Crowded, bathrooms on the other side. No room for ECVReview of Plaza Restaurant

We love this restaurant. The options appeal to everyone and the addition of the all you can drink shakes add value. I love the strawberry chicken salad with Champaign vinaigrette dressing. It’s light and healthy
Pros:
Menu options make everyone in your party happy.Cons:
It’s very small and cannot accommodate very many peopleReview of Be Our Guest -Counter Service Lunch

It’s a great way to get to see the beautiful inside of the castle but without the experience of dinner.
Pros:
The atmosphere is amazing. The food is better than average especially when you consider the desserts. Being able to walk around and see all the rooms is one benefit to going at lunch since it’s less formalCons:
The food is better than average but does not have enough options.Review of Pandora -- the World of Avatar

It was very creative and pretty but not worth a fast pass or waiting in a line for more than 10 minutes
Pros:
It’s a calm ride and the fluorescent colors are beautifulCons:
It’s short and not worth the long lines of 90 minutes or more. I wouldn’t get in line for more than 10 minutesReviewed by sand935 Review Date: 10/01/2018

the buses are very inconsistent. the new timetable screens at the bus stop are helpful but they are very frustrating because they are constantly change times. I was excited about the new app that lets you see the wait times from you room but it was not working the whole time we were there in September.
