Don't eat here
Pros:
NoneCons:
We ate here during first week of September. The food was below average, but the thing that disappointed me the most was how dirty it was! Well below Disney standards. I literally had to find a server and ask him to clean off a table so we could eat. Had we not been so hot and tired, we would have left and went somewhere else. Honestly, I could not believe I was still in Disney.Review of Art of Animation Resort (Value Resort)

Loved it!
Pros:
We were booked into the Lion King Suite. As a family of 6, it is often difficult to get accommodations where we can all stay in same room. With two full baths, a separate room for the parents, and wonderfully themed, this is a winner!!!Cons:

A Disney gem! Our family experienced Hoop Dee Doo on our first visit to Walt Disney World back in the ‘70s. It’s not a must do every time but it is a must do! The entertainment and food is something everyone in the family will enjoy. Enjoy the boat ride to Ft Wilderness from the Magic Kingdom for an added treat.
Pros:
Great food, servers and humorousCons:

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal here - 2 adults and a 2 year old. The food was of a high quality and our server was excellent. Having lunch was a nice way to break up a busy Epcot day.
Pros:
Loved the scampi pasta dish, good children’s menu, attentive server who made great suggestionsCons:

We are pleased to call Animal Kingdom Lodge Jambo House our home resort. We find ourselves choosing it over and over again despite having other options. The theme is the best. From the moment you get off the Magical Express you are transformed to another land; from the music out doors, the well placed art to the expansive beautiful lobby inside. Plus the smell is my favorite ever.
Rooms are large and spacious and we have always found them to be clean and comfortable.
Pros:
The theme, pool, cultural events and restaurant selections.Cons:
A bit further from other parks, but we don’t find this to be an issue.Review of Trail's End Restaurant

Trails End is a never miss for us on our visits to Disney World. Breakfast or dinner we love it. We have never had a hard time getting a reservation. The food selection is ample and very good. With a family of seven everybody is contented and smiling after our meal. It is a buffet and the selection is huge. The wait staff cast members are so friendly and attentive.Price is moderate as Disney goes. The restaurant can be noisy but the camp theming is spit on in the Disney way we all love.
Pros:
Food selection, quality, price, ease of reserving and friendly staff.Cons:
Maybe to noisy for some.Review of MagicBand

The Magic Band has really made touring in the theme parks so much easier! They fit like a watch and stay on but are comfortable. They are programmed with your resort room, dining plan credits, park admission and you can charge items to your room with them. These a great and a huge perk to staying on property.
Pros:
Technology that makes vacation easierCons:

We have stayed at Jambo house twice now, both times in April months. We love this resort so much as it feels like it's away from the craziness that the parks can be. On our last stay we had booked a standard view but when checking in asked if there were any bunk bed rooms available. I have teenagers and thought they would like this better. Front desk said of course and we got a great view as well. Later that night I realized they never asked if we were celebrating anything and we didn't get a button for our anniversary. My husband and I went down to the desk after sitting out by the fire listening to the music. The front desk lady was incredible! She was shocked no one gave us a button..so she loaded us up on buttons, visors, crowns, colouring books..you name it! We did notice the lighting is dark in the rooms especially in the bathroom area. We did mention it in a survey from Disney and they said they are renovating and taking all suggestions into consideration. So hopefully brighter bathrooms!
The walk to Kidani is nice, you can take a bus but why bother? We walked to dinner at Saana there and it's always good. If you have kids the dessert for the kids menu is a paint your own brownie/cake..adorable.
We love the pool at Jambo house and there are shaded spots and a great water slide. The animals and cast members around are so interesting. One of the cast members at night was begging us to ask questions and pretty funny. It would be nice to have the menu changed at the quick serve location a bit everyday. It seemed pretty standard..but maybe with the reno coming they might look into that as well. We'd definitely stay there again.
Pros:
Animals are outside of your balcony and it's a quiet resortCons:

This is our family's favorite value resort. We love the family suites and they are great for larger families with young children. The standard rooms are also nice I especially like the Broadway standard rooms. The suited have a living area and a bedroom with 2 bathrooms and a very usable kitchenette. The ones at AoA are dinky and basically useless. The sofa, chair and ottoman all fold out to beds. The bedroom has a queen size bed, dresser, tv, desk with a chair and a wing chair for additional seating. AoA has no seating in their bedroom but they do have bathroom as part of the room. The decor fits right in the music theme but is tasteful and well done. Overall if you have little children this is a great resort. The staff is always friendly and they have 2 pools.
Pros:
Fun upbeat with tasteful decor and reasonable pricesCons:

We really enjoy the counter service lunch at Be Our Guest. And now it's even more convenient with mobile ordering. The lunches are tasty. Be sure to try the grey stuff for dessert although I like the strawberry cupcake better. My fav lunch is the braised pork dish. The castle is lovely and perfectly themed to the movie.
