Good value for your money. It's not fancy, but the beds are comfortable, the food court is decent, and you're on Disney property
Pros:
The whole resort is compact and not too spread out, the food in the food court is really good for a quick service, especially at dinnerCons:
Not a lot of amenities, bus loading area is really small and unshadedReview of Theme Park Photo Pass

This is an absolute must do every time we go. You’ll want pics of your group wether it’s a couple or a large family. Sure you can take pics yourself, and we always do. But it’s so nice to have picture of the group that has everyone in it or that’s not a selfie. Heck, I’d even do it if I were going by myself.
Pros:
Semi-professional pics of your trip in some of the best spots on the park. There are lots of picture spots and there is no limit to the number of spots you can get pictures at. Don’t forget the ride photos are included at no charge. You don’t have to worry about getting them after you ride. They’ll be attached to your magic band.Cons:
The price... maybe. However, if you are taking the trip, you might as well get the pass. Honestly, the price is small when compared to the entire stay with park tickets and food.Review of Food & Wine Food Booths

It's exciting to have the opportunity to try foods from so many different places but the cost can definitely add up. Portion sizes are small which allows you try a lot of different things but also can cost a lot of money. Some of booths are packed really tightly together and are really spread apart in other places which is unfortunate. As for the alcohol, it is work going your homework as some of the wines are really cheap and you would be better off just buying a bottle elsewhere and trying at home, but others are a decent value. There are a bunch of resources online to find out information about that though.
Pros:
Lots of choices Good flavors Unique opportunityCons:
Small portions Cost can add up quick Many booths are packed close togetherReview of My Disney Experience

The app is very helpful when it comes to navigating the parks, checking wait times, checking show times, checking character experiences, and instantly previewing your photo pass pictures. During my last trip, I could only see the map for Magic Kingdom. This was a minor annoyance and kept my rating from a 10.
Pros:
Convenience, efficiency, one stop shop for all the information you need, helps you plan your day once you are in the parksCons:

FastPass+ makes planning your trip super convenient and efficient. If you make the reservations early enough, you guarantee yourself a short wait for the best rides. The drawback is typically you can only get a fast pass for your favorite rides once a day. I also don't like the tiers because many of the rides or experiences in the lower tiers do not require fast passes.
Pros:
Convenience, efficiency, guarantees short wait for popular ridesCons:
Limits the number of fast passes for popular rides, can only start with 3 and by the time you use your 3, the popular rides don't have anymore fast passes availableReview of MagicBand

My family loves Magic Bands. We wish they were a thing in the real world. We appreciate the convenience of having everything we need for our trip in one location. And yes, we even buy character Magic Bands.
Pros:
Convenience, unique experience, customizableCons:

We have stayed at Riverside our last two trips. We love it there. The theme and river are amazing. The service is top notch and the atmosphere feels like home. A big plus for us is the pull down bed in the rooms. This way each of my kids gets their own separate bed. The location is super convenient and the multiple forms of transportation are appreciated. We take the boat to Disney Springs and the buses to the parks. It is also a short boat ride or walk from French Quarter where you can get beignets. Boatwright's restaurant is very good.
Pros:
Location, three beds, atmosphere, transportation, food optionsCons:

The resort and service are awesome. We stayed here on our fist trip to Walt Disney World and it helped us fall in love with Disney World. The location is super convenient and having the monorail station is very helpful as well. Our first trip was for a work trip so the hotel was paid for. Due to the price, we will probably never be able to stay there again.
Pros:
Theme, service, food, location, monorail, fireworks viewing, water paradeCons:

I cannot go to a Disney park without Photo Pass. My family and I love it! We all get to be in the pictures. We get hundreds of photos from each trip. We can print all the photos we want at home for a fraction of the cost. The price is more than worth it in my opinion.
