Needs desperately to be updated. This event hasn't seen many changes or upgrades in forever. It's great to go once... maybe once every 6-8 years! But if you've seen it recently, save your money. And they need to sell less tickets.
Pros:
Fireworks. Parade (if you've never seen it before, it's fun)Cons:
Too crowded. Nothing has changed in many, many years! needs something new and fresh (besides Hocus-Pocus which is already "old" after 3 years)Review of FastPass+ (Retired)

OK - I resisted for a while, because I liked the older system where I could send one of the teens to run up and get our fast passes for anything we wanted. As soon as it began, Fastpass+ seemed like an imposition... having to choose our park attendance in advance for our trip? However, once being used, it seemed to work well with making dining plans. We always get our passes right at 60 days out (staying on property) and are able to get what we really want. Also, we set our passes as early as possible in the AM so we can travel to another park in the afternoon. It works well and we can, of course, get more fast passes after the first 3 are used. Took some getting used to, but we like it now.
Pros:
You can schedule all your favorites without worrying if all the FPs will be gone when you make it up to the kiosk.Cons:
Have to make plans in advance but is that really a bad thing?Review of Blizzard Beach

We stopped in for supper after going to Hollywood Studios. We had pulled pork, sweet potato tots, BBQ Cauliflower. Food was really good and such a nice break from park food. There where 5 of us and we all enjoyed it.
Pros:
Good Food, portions where nice, prices decent, staff pleasantCons:
The only con we had was it was noisy and made it hard to carry on a conversation, but with that said we would go again.Review of Disney Dining Plan

My family did the Dining plan on both of our last vacations. Could you do food cheaper, sure, but the experience will suffer. It was wonderful not to have to worry about the expense the food, not to have to look at prices on menus. We also found we were able to do more character experiences and meals that would normally would not have chosen. Tip-pick a dessert from your quick service meal that you can eat later or for breakfast.
Pros:
Budgeted into your package, able to pick anything off the menu, able to do more unique dining experiences.Cons:
A lot of food, but hey you're on vacation!Review of Caring for Giants - Animal Kingdom

This was probably the best tour I have been in in Disney World. My only complaint is that it could be longer. The photo opportunities were great and we loved learning more about the elephants and how they are cared for my the cast members.
Pros:
close photo opportunities with the elephantsCons:
could be longerReview of My Disney Experience

When I started to use the app in its infancy, I didn't find it all that useful, my next trips I was using the app much more, the latest trip it was so a blessing to use the mobile ordering, and the menus. Hoping that more menus appear as not all of them were available yet (less than 10% of the places I looked for food). Ride wait times is still not accurate, many times the rides were longer (This was annoying when walking through MK) or shorter than the app was showing.
Pros:
Mobile Ordering is excellentCons:
Ride Wait times not accurate, fast pass management can remove reservations if a time overlaps.Reviewed by cindyfan Review Date: 09/27/2018

We stayed at CSR Sept 12-18 and overall, it was ok. It used to be our favorite but not anymore. Just not impressed with the staff or new rooms. And with all the construction, etc I would not recommend anyone stay there until it is complete.
Pros:
New El Mercado (Pepper Market) love the new tables, colors, etc.Cons:
Awkward new set up of the rooms. Construction and the need to walk past it multiple times a day. Shortened hours for food court and gift shop. Too spread out and too many convention guests taking up the best areas (rooms).Reviewed by cmschn Review Date: 09/27/2018

We had a great experience here in December. We did have to wait awhile to be seated, but that was fine. We were seated in a corner by the window, and this was truly fantastic because it felt secluded and less chaotic. The characters in their Christmas outfits were so fun. We had amazing interactions with Daisy and Donald especially. I don’t eat buffets very much, so I was worried about the food, but it was incredible!! I am a pescetarian, and I really appreciated all the delicious salad and veggie choices. I thought the salmon was absolutely delicious, better than I had at CRT a couple days later! We really had a great time here with the characters and the food.
