Review of Biergarten - Lunch/Dinner

If you or your children are picky, this place might not be for you. BUT wow- what a wonderful experience, just the same! There is something very unique and special of the ambiance of this place, especially during the Christmas season. The band plays, brings the children down to entertain, and even passed out Werther's Originals to the kiddos. It was a very entertaining and lovely experience. My son, who eats fried chicken nuggets for almost every meal, would not partake but I was more adventurous and enjoyed many of the offerings from the buffet. The dessert section was delicious! Note, smaller parties will be sat with other guests at a large table so if you are an introvert, this might prove slightly intimidating.

We ate here for lunch for the first time this trip, and I felt like it was a hidden gem. Even though two of us were stuck on a ride and late getting there they seated the rest of the party right on time. I really liked the theming and quiet atmosphere here. It was a nice reprieve from the hot, busy park. The food was good. I especially liked the caprese salad. The servers weren't overly friendly, but we had no problems. I would eat here again.
Pros:
nice break from the parksCons:
good food, but not outstandingReview of Pinocchio Village Haus

While this place can turn bonkers crowded, it can be a crowd pleaser as well. The flat bread pizzas are a nice turn from the usual pizza we find in theme parks and the monthly change up can be refreshing. We enjoyed the pepperoni & sausage and a plain ole cheese flatbread. I will add that their salads were delicious as well. We try to opt to sit next to the window by it's a small world for viewing fun as well!
Pros:
Better than average flatbreadsCons:

I would recommend the photopass photographers if you want photos of the whole group. I usually take the photos so many years, I'm in very few photos. We've probably purchased the Memory Maker 4-5 times and have an annual pass now. Only once or twice have I gotten photos from another group and never have they missed automatically adding one to my account based on my magic band. The only time we've ever had trouble with ride photos is when the the number of people standing in front of the monitors prevented us from tapping our magic bands to "claim" our photos before the rolled off. This was easily fixed by talking to the ride photo cast member and they added it manually. I saw photographers everywhere at Epcot during the Flower and Garden, Animal Kingdom at night in Pandora and by Tree of Life. I've seen more photographers at those two parks than Magic Kingdom or Disney's Hollywood Studios but I've seen them tucked away at those parks as well. It may be expensive but having the photos that include everyone and the ability to edit them adding character signatures and borders make it worth the price to our family.
Pros:
Lots of opportunities, photos of the whole group, magical photos and the ability to edit/customize them with borders and character signatures and stickers.Cons:
Price can be high so make sure you stop at as many photographers as possible.Reviewed by Tamara Ervin Review Date: 09/27/2018

I liked this resort for the most part. It was beautiful and not crowded, which I like. My problem was with the bussing. It was terrible. Took 45 minutes in the mornings for a bus, any bus to come by. They did offer us a gift card in lieu of mousekeeping service, which we did take.
Pros:
Not a busy resort, beautiful landscapeCons:

We had a nice time with this quick service lunch. Beautiful location, but long lines. Not a large menu, my teenage daughter had a difficult time choosing lunch. Overall, very happy with it.

This was my first MNSSHP, and I am on the fence about whether it was worth it or not. I went on a Tuesday in September, the crowds were not horrible, but everything still had a wait. I was expecting more than what was there, based on reviews of previous years. There was no way anyone could get through the whole party by midnight. I am just not as "wow'd" as I thought I would be.
Pros:
Good candy, shorter ride linesCons:

Although the adult beverage prices are a little steeper than we'd like, they were good. Our go-to treat is their ice cream, and their coffee. I like that there are eating options at many different locations, and am very glad to see that they have healthier options at Lotta Watta Lodge. Service was sometimes a bit slow in March 2018, when we were there last. Maybe they didn't have enough staff. Although this is unrelated to counter service, I was happy to find a water-proof phone pouch on a lanyard, at the souvenir shop, as I'd forgotten mine. And reasonably priced, too.

I've eaten here twice, and it's become one of my favorite restaurants at Walt Disney World. It has a fun, family friendly atmosphere and the servers are great. The food is delicious. The mac and cheese is the best we had anywhere. We ordered several of the desserts to share among our table, and the hummingbird cake was a favorite. Very enjoyable experience!

great food and drinks, fun atmosphere, friendly staffCons:

Great food & atmosphere. And as others have said, it is almost a table service location where they do deliver your food to the table. Great menu selection that has something for just about every palate
