I loved my fried green tomato sandwich and the fries were yummy. Portions are almost too big! My son loved his milkshake. The atmosphere is a bit on the dull side though and the menu doesn't offer too much variety.
Pros:
Nice sit down on a Magic Kingdom day, food is good.Cons:
Atmosphere a bit dull, pricey for the menu options available.Reviewed by Nikki Murry Review Date: 09/28/2018

The new rooms here are very nice, and I like the grounds, but the food court left a lot to be desired and we found the construction to be a bit disruptive as far as interrupting the continuity. The pool area is wonderful and I think one of the larger ones on property. Bus service was hit or miss. Sometimes we waiting 30+ minutes for a bus, sometimes got one right away. I'd say again, but after construction is complete.
Pros:
Pool, renovated roomsCons:
Construction, bus wait times, food courtReviewed by Nikki Murry Review Date: 09/28/2018

Kidani is my favorite resort I've stayed at on property. Love the pool area and the ability to sit on my balcony, sip coffee, and watch wildlife pass by. The staff is always wonderfully friendly and it's smaller than Jambo, which I enjoy for the quaintness.
Pros:
Wildlife, friendly castmembers, smaller in size, nice pool areaCons:
Could be more food options and larger gift shopReview of Flame Tree Barbecue

Always a must-do for us, me and my 13-year-old son, that is. I enjoy the pulled pork sandwich with baked beans and bbq sauces at the stations to try. We always try to get a seat by the fountain where we can see Everest in the background and watch the birds and ducks.
Pros:
Delicious food, outdoor seatingCons:

The best steak I have ever eaten in my life! The service was fabulous as well! This will be on mu dining list every time I visit. The Cesar salad was amazing as well as the creme brulee. I would recommend this restaurant to everyone!

This app does have issues sometimes, but refreshing and restarting helps, as does for most apps that act up on mobile phones. I was on data the entire time, so I can't speak to how it worked on Disney's Wifi. I love the mobile ordering, makes it so much faster to get food! Wait times are helpful, especially when a ride is down. It's much easier to check the app than to walk over to the other side of a park to see it's operational again. I also loved the bus times in the app. That also made getting ready to leave the room much less stressful. We also used them for leavng the park. We just took a look about 15-20 mins before we'd be at the bus stop in park and would usually be able to see the estimated arrival time of the bus from the hotel, which would be only a minute before arriving to take us back. I only had waits times go down on me twice, and not for very long. Fastpass always worked, albeit with a slight delay in updating changes. Refreshing works though, my friends.
Pros:
Mobile ordering, bus times, wait timesCons:

I have previously stayed at the Polynesian resort prior to it becoming a DVC property, and always found it enjoyable. I'm an owner at Bay Lake Towers, so I immediately compared the studios. The bathroom setup is much nicer, with one room with a shower, and another with tub; both had sinks. It always felt more cramped in the BLT studio tiny bathroom. The shower has an awesome rain effect and the flooring reminiscent of pebbles. Made me feel like having a shower outside, but without any of the ickyness of actually being outside. The room is longer because of the extra bathroom space, but narrower. I didn't have the extra bed under the TV open, but if it was it would have been a little difficult to get to the other end of the room. Because of the bed under the TV where the dresser would normally be, I wound up using the bathroom drawers for all my clothes. Worked out well for me since I usually wind up getting dressed in the bathroom anyway. I'd definitely stay here again the future. Plus, aside from the bungalows, all the DVC rooms at the resort are studios, so it was much easier for me to book a room after the 7 month window than at other resorts besides my home one.
Pros:
Rain effect shower, extra bathroom sinks and spaceCons:

We stayed here second week in September. Were upgraded this trip to club level. We have stayed at club level many times over the years. When checking in Gerogette helped us, she has one of those legacy blue cast member name tags so you know you are in special hands. She called someone to take us up to club level. Once we were up there we were offered something to drink while we sere checked in. Velma was one of the cast members working at the time and I saw that she also had a legacy name tag. She was very friendly and helpful. Hyacinth was the other cast member working and between the two check in went smoothly. We love the remodeled rooms. Our room overlooked the sand bottom pool so we could watch the kids play in the sand. the food was good. Like to start out the day with oatmeal and fruit and they had both. The appetizers were the best we have ever had here at club level. The deserts are alway excellent. Evening cast members were also very good. Miguel helped me solve several problems including on how to get the the special toy story annual pass member in the early morning when the boats and buses were not running. We love staying here,
Pros:

This is a great tour for anyone interested in a longer, more in depth look at the Savannah at Disney's Animal Kingdom. It takes a slow pace, it very interactive. We had 6 people on the tour and two guides. They know where the animals congregate at the time of your tour and let you hang out in the jeep as long and close as you want. They food was good and really more of a snack, not a meal replacement. We did it 3 years ago and it is still a 'core' memory to our kids.
Pros:
Great animal interaction, slow paced. Well worth the money.Cons:
Would've like to see more animals. You can only see hippos, crocs, and what is out on the Savannah. You may only see the lions, elephants if they are out.Review of Food & Wine Food Booths

Food we tried was ok but nothing stood out this year. Did like the Culinary Corridor area. liked stuff at active eats.
