Review of Plaza Restaurant

We've enjoyed The Plaza on numerous trips; in fact, it's always been a MUST do. Our last trip in November, we felt that our experience was less glowing than years past. Our service was unattentive and seemed annoyed at our presence. We had the kids chicken, the endless milkshakes, the chicken sandwich, and the meatloaf. The food was standard, not wonderful, not bad. But boy oh boy, the milkshakes are delicious! I just don't know that the high price for "endless" justified drinking one and maybe a half. Will we go again? Yes. We find that the atmosphere and the laid back menu that caters to even my picky eaters still makes it a worthwhile eatery.
Pros:
Milkshakes, LocationCons:

For our first family trip to Disney, we went big by renting points for a Savanah View Studio at Jambo House the first week of December 2017. AKL is the most beautiful hotel I’ve ever been to. Walking into the incredible lobby with the huge Christmas tree was so amazing. I had requested to be near the center of the hotel, and we had the perfect location, the first studio in the Zebra trail I believe. Our room was comfortable and we liked the style of furnishings. The balcony was amazing; we saw so many animals and I loved sitting out there in the evening, listening to the drums and relaxing. The pools at both Jambo and Kidani were amazing and never crowded. We went to Boma, The Mara, and Jiko and thought the food was delicious at all. We couldn’t have been happier, and renting points made a dream vacation financially feasible! We honestly didn’t mind waiting for buses and traveling a little further to the parks; we planned on that and got to all the parks right when we wanted to. This resort allows you to feel completely transported to a unique world while still easily enjoying Disney. Now the problem is: how can we stay anywhere else?
Pros:
Ambiance, Pools, dining, Savannah viewsCons:

A regular must-do on our trips. The buffet is varied and unique and the service is generally quite good.
Pros:
Unique buffet options. Animal Kingdom Lodge itself is also worth a visit as the atmosphere and design is well done.Cons:
A bit out of the way if you are staying anywhere other then Animal Kingdom Lodge. We try to pair it with a day at Animal Kingdom park as it is nearby.Review of Fort Wilderness Campground

My husband and I took our daughter and her boyfriend to WDW for a week following college graduation. The cabins at Fort Wilderness were perfect for 4 adults. We had plenty of room in the cabin without tripping over each other. The full kitchen came in very handy on those early entrance to the parks. Took our dirty laundry by golf cart to the laundry mat, clean, well lit and all washers and dryers worked. Very nice not to have a suit case full of dirty clothes when we got home. Lots of fun and free amenities for the young and young at heart.
Pros:
Large resort and not right on top of neighbors. Rented a golf cart, and what a fun way to get around the resort. Mouse Keeping always had our cabin looking fabulous - funny how college graduates looked forward to the clean towels in fun animal shapes!!! Hands down, this is our absolute favorite resort!!!!Cons:

The food was excellent and the princess character meets were awesome. Each spent a lot of time with our 4 girls. Each has their favorite and they loved it! We were given a family portrait with Aurora as part of our dinner charge.
Pros:
All the best princess' were there for our kids.Cons:

The buses can take a long time to get you from point a to point b. During mid day the waits are not bad but good luck around park opening and closing time. Then the cram in about 100 people. God forbid there is ever an accident with that many people onboard and half of them standing.
Pros:
air conditionsCons:
Long waits. People are crammed in tight. Long rides depending on where you are goingReview of Walt Disney World Minnie Van Service

Way overpriced. The first time we attempted to get a minnie van we called for a car and it took 30 minutes without any confirmed car. We had to get to the Magic Kingdom for a dining reservation and could not wait so we hopped on a bus. For $38 from Animal Kingdom Lodge to Magic Kingdom I would have hoped we could have gotten a minnie van within 15 minutes or so. Will never use

The event has become unbearable. Too many tickets are being sold for too much money. Shoulder to shoulder crowds are on the increase. Lines for trick or treating and rides are long. We have been doing this party for 9 years and it is to the point where it just isn't worth the aggravation. The parade is good but who wants to spend an hour or 2 of party time just sitting staking out a viewing spot? The same goes for character meet and greets and the fireworks show. You only have 5 precious party hours and can not do eveything in 1 or 2 party nights.
Pros:
Fun Decorations and seeing the people dressed upCons:

I don't get the Pandora love. Flights of Passage was great. The "land" to me in underwhelming. The creepy plant tat greets you as you enter is just ugly and weird. Navi River Journey is a waste of space. The ride does nothing. Not even he scenery is interesting. I thought the ride was building to something amazing but all it was was one moving Shaman. The food at the quick service restaurant was underwhelming. In fact my husband and I got ill shortly after eating there.
Pros:
Flights of Passage is one of the best rides in all of Disney WorldCons:

Beautiful resort. Our stays have been . There is so much to do and see that you could spend most of your vacation just having fun at the resort. Rooms have always been clean and the front desk very accommodating. Every cast member was delightful.
