This was our first time eating at Mama Melrose's (11/20). First of all our server was wonderful. She attended to every need we could ask for. The food here was delicious. We tried the calamari as an appetizer. It was very good. Dinner and desert were excellent. We will definitely come here again in the future.

We ate at Chef Mickey's on 11/19 and we loved it as always. This has and continues to be one of our favorite breakfasts on property. Everyone should be able to find something here that they like. The one thing I missed though was the breakfast pizza they used to serve here. We will continue to eat here in the future.

This was our first time eating at Crystal Palace (11/18). The food was mediocre with not as many choices as some other Disney buffets. The characters were very nice and they were the best part of the meal. The atmosphere and building are beautiful. I would probably not visit here again unless it was to specifically see the characters.

This was our first time eating lunch at BOG. We had previously eaten here for dinner and loved it. We could not get a reservation for dinner or lunch at midnight 180 days out. We were very disappointed. About 2 weeks before our trip, we received an email inviting us to do a fastpass for lunch. We grabbed it. We chose to order our meals right away online which expedited the wait time to get through the line. Once seated, the servers keep walking around until they find you. I think this whole process could be revamped to make the it move smoother and faster. The food was great. No complaints whatsoever. Would highly recommend eating here if possible.

Confusing on how to get food, etcReview of Cape May Cafe Clam Bake Dinner

We normally love the Cape May Cafe and it is a must do for us each time we go. This time we had a 45 minute wait to get seated w/ ADR. The food was good as always, but the server was just okay. It is a pricey meal unless you are on the meal plan (which we usually are). I highly recommend the food, but service could get better.

We dined here 11/17/14. We mostly all ate the Tonga Toast and the Macadamia Nut pancakes. All of the food was wonderful. You got plenty to eat and the prices were reasonable. Our waiter was excellent. We definitely plan to return. This is now a must-do on our WDW trip list.

The new FP+ system have taken away from any freedom that one might have had. Now you have to pre-plan every day.
I personally hate the new system.

When we checked in they asked us to make sure we could access our room with the Magic Bands. They all worked fine. Then we went to the Magic Kingdom and my grandson's would not allow him access to the park. We were told we had to go to Guest Relations, but because it was raining and I did not want to stand out in the rain we went back to the hotel to get in straight. When we got there it took over an hour to finally get it cleared up and then my grandson's "Tragic Band" was the only one that could access the room. Luckily we had Key to the World Cards which would also work to access the room.
Also My son and daughter-in-law could not use their Bands to charge meals or other items.
I wish Disney would not have messed with a system that was pretty good before.

This was our first stay at Riverside (11/30/14-12/6/14) and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Our extended family of 8 went. We were able to get 3 rooms all in a row. We stayed in the Royal Guest rooms and even my 17 year old son enjoyed it. The building we were in was a short walk to the main lobby, bus stops and restaurants. We never had to wait long for a bus and it seemed that the rides to the parks were never more than 10-15 minutes. My parents were able to eat at Boatwrights with out a reservation and said the food was delicious. We ate dinner a few times at Riverside Mill, the make your own pasta station was a hit!!! Breakfast was typical food court fare but the grits were excellent. We have stayed both off and on property in deluxe and value resorts and this was by far the best vacation we have ever had. The Christmas decorations in the lobby were lovely and the towel animals in the rooms were a big hit every day the them younger children ( and the rest of us as well). The check in process was easy and the questions we had for the front desk were quickly answered. I would say to anyone asking that this has to be the best resort at Disney. We are already planning our next vacation there.

We went to the 12/4/14 show. We had a dining package, so we were able to get some good seats. The singing was incredible and the narrator did an amazing job. We will definitely see this again and it was well worth the cost of the dining package and the long wait to get in. I recommend everyone see this show.
