Review of Pop Century Resort (Value Resort)

Best lower-tier hotel! We have stayed at Pop Century for 4 visits so far, and it is definitely our favorite (we can't afford higher-level hotels). We love how close we can stay to the transportation; the food is usually good; we can easily use the microwave in the food court area; they have very good staff. Suggestion to save more money or if you have food issues: if you are flying in, use Amazon Prime Now to order food to be delivered to Pop Century. I do the order on the Magic Bus from the airport. They will deliver it to Pop, and then the concierge will deliver it to our room, including putting the cold things in the refrigerator! I also bring a \"mini-crock\" to cook my oatmeal in the mornings and to cook veggies in the evening (hard to get enough veggies in the parks).
Pros:
Best low-tier in terms of comfort and ability to have a room close to transportation. Good staff, mostly reliable transportation speed. It will get the gondolas!Cons:
usually the farthest out bus pickup at the parks of all the hotelsReview of Kusafiri Coffee Shop and Bakery

This resort is fantastic! If you are staying at a value resort, this is the way to go. The theming is perfect for all ages; we stayed in a Cars suite and it was adorable.
This area of the resort is the most immersive, in my opinion. There is a Cozy Cone Motel pool with cone cabanas. There are many photo ops with almost every major character from the film - Lightning McQueen, Sally, Mater, Luigi, Guido, Sarge, Doc. They are life-sized and detailed just as you would expect from Disney. The rooms take the theming to a whole new level, unlike the other value resorts which go for a more streamlined effect. Our room had Cozy Cone lamps, toolbox styled furniture, and even themed shower curtains.
It is worth it to even come visit and take a bus ride over if you have little fans of Cars, Lion King, Finding Nemo, or the Little Mermaid. Each area has life-sized photo-ops that make for great photos.
The check-in, food court, and sundries shop are all combined in a manner identical to other value resorts. The food was the same Disney value resort offerings, but they did have some different offerings as well.
Pros:
Fantastic theming! Amazing photo-ops! Rooms are ultra-themed unlike some of the other value resorts.Cons:

The value of the photopass is dependent on which photographer you get. These are when I suggest it is well worth the money and extra time: multiple people in your party, special occasions (birthday, anniversary, reunion), no pressure for time, lots of days in the parks. DEFINITELY worth it if you are doing a runDisney event!!!
Pros:
all ride photos and videos; if you get a great photographer AND a photographer who isn't super busy, you can get fantastic pictures and a ton of picturesCons:
some photographers make errors in picture quality/background; if it is busy, you may wait for a long time.Review of Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue

Our family totally loves the Hoop-Dee-Doo! We have so many wonderful memories of the many times we have seen the show. It is a \"must do\" for us on every trip to Disney World. The food is really good and there is something for everyone to enjoy. The children bounce with excitement when it is time for dessert. The show is quite memorable with lots of singing, humor and shenanigans! We all leave with smiles on our faces. I can't imagine a trip to Disney without stopping by Pioneer Hall.
Pros:
Family oriented, good food, audience participation, great staffCons:

We love the Harambe Market dining area. We have eaten there several times. It is so well themed with its miss matched tables and chairs. It is a colorful, shaded and relaxing outdoor area. However, when we were there this summer, our very favorite and every time dish - the Chicken Tikka Masala had been removed from the menu. It was quite delicious and served with pita bread and the wonderful and unusual black eyed pea salad. It is a great disappointment to have this removed from the menu. I would have given it a 10 if the menu had not been changed. Now I am not sure if I will find something on the menu that I like since I don't eat beef or lamb.

We have stayed here for our Disneyland vacation the last two summers. It is clean, quiet, has an indoor pool, offers a free basic breakfast, and best of all right across from the entrance to Disneyland.

The best thing about lunch is not the food, it’s the surroundings. Very limited menu that can be cold and not appealing visually. I had the Croque Monsieur sandwich that was over cooked and not very hot.
Pros:
Beautiful place to have lunch. There are 3 rooms you can sit in, and you can wander around and check out all the rooms.Cons:
Food is just so so.Review of Ft. Wilderness Cabins (Moderate Resort)

The cabins are awesome. You park your car, rent a golf cart and you are good to go. Take the boat, it's awesome.
