Review 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
Pros:

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.
Pros:
Warm, inviting and beautiful resort with great dining options. Close bus ride to Animal KingdomCons:
Very long bus ride to Magic Kingdom.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:

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.
