Review of Be Our Guest Dinner

Terrible new menu especially if you are vegetarian. The roasted corn tortellini was served in a flavorless water. The desserts are very palette specific. Some people don't care for macaroons or raspberries. Some people don't want a super thick shell of chocolate and too little grey stuff. The most enjoyable thing was the bread. Very disappointed in the new menu. The old menu was so much better. Definitely do not use 2 dining credits if on the dining plan.
Pros:
Pretty atmosphereCons:
Noisy. Small portions. Menu needs more options.Review of Caring for Giants - Animal Kingdom

We were the only 2 to show for our tour so it was just us. We went backstage and got into a van to the viewing area. The elephants were right in front of us and were curious and came close to see who we were. We learned their names and what the hierarchy is. It was the best hour I've spent in Animal Kingdom. Just sitting on the bench watching the elephants for 20 minutes was so calming and we felt very privileged to be there with them. Highly recommend.
Pros:
Being so close to the elephantsCons:

Had a great time, until the rain came. Not too crowded but way too hot for costumes. Headless horseman was worth the heat!

Ran in to escape the rain and had a tuna sandwich which was Ok - it's hard to screw that up. Hubbo had the lobster roll. Not too much lobster but he said what lobster meat was there was fresh not frozen. It's an OK quick serve.
Pros:
Plenty of tables in air conditioningCons:

Stopped here for lunch on a brutally hot day. Got the chicken with rice and sat in a shady spot. For fast food, it was pretty good for the price. Hubbo had the rice with the teriyaki beef and thought it was good. Not bad for a quick service.
Pros:
Quick lunchCons:

Had high hopes, rooms were new which was a plus but everything else was OMG was free dining worth this? NO!!! The food court is very run down - ice machines didn't work, toasters were broken and the food was worse than a school cafeteria. Wall to wall people, of course. Very noisy. One thing to mention is that Pop Century bus stops are the farthest away at each park - it's #32 out of 34 bus stops at the Magic Kingdom. Last time here for sure.
Pros:
Refurbished rooms were well done, new floors and lots of storage space.Cons:
Overcrowded and run down.Review of Pop Century Resort (Value Resort)

We can't say enough about the pop century resort, for the past 5 visits we stayed there.We love that resort.
Pros:
Very friendly staff, a good variety of food, beautifully upgraded rooms, when hurricane Irma came, the resort was on point helping their guests feel comfortable and safe.Cons:
Only con I can think of is the buses coming back from theme parks seem to take awhile compared to other buses that came more than once while we were waiting for our bus to show up.but we muddled through it.Review of Theme Park Photo Pass

In the summer of 2016 my family visited Disney for the very first time. It was not my first visit but it was husband's and my two son's first time to experience the parks. I purchased the Memory Maker package to take full advantage of the Photo Pass system. We really loved it!! We were able to have professional photographers take great pictures of our family.
Sometimes they added fun and magical characters right into our photos. (But "magical shots" could only be done during the day)
One of the best parts were the pictures that were taken on the rides and the videos that Disney made with some of the attraction pictures. They were so fun! The best part was that I paid one standard price for everything and the pictures were immediately available to me and my family. I used them in our Disney picture album after we returned home and they are some of my most favorite pictures from the whole trip. I would highly recommend this service.
Pros:
Cost affective, Great quality, creative photos, unique shots, attraction pictures (while riding)Cons:
Photographers could not do "magical" shots after dark.Reviewed by klee Review Date: 09/26/2018

The Halloween Party is my favorite time of year to go to Walt Disney World. I love that I can dress in costume and trick-or-treat just like the kids. There is always plenty of time to get lots of great candy and walk on several rides during this event. The parade is the best. We always show up very early (they let you in around 4)and stay until it's over. It's definitely worth the money.
