Great sandwich (ham & apple) and loved the desserts as always (rice cream and school bread). Line moved quickly but there was some confusion about who was ordering in the groups at time (the people after me were taken care of before I was, etc). Patio had plenty of seating later in the evening, around 7:30pm.

We attended the 8:15pm show on 12/16 for the second time this year. My friend and I were returning and brought my mom along to join the fun! The parties with wheelchairs/ECVs (including us) were gathered on the side porch to be seated ahead of the masses, even if the person intended to transfer.
Our table was #42 (category 1) and it was the perfect location: center of the hall towards the front; a lot of the performers came very near our table when they were out and amongst the audience. My friend even got picked on by Dolly Drew throughout the show!
The food was even better than I remember. Only item I didn't care for (and I'm alone in this opinion) was the ribs, as I found the sauce a bit too spicy. Everything else was fantastic!
Our server didn't do anything particularly fun. I don't know if she's the norm or the exception, since last time our server had us in stitches!
The show was as funny as it was 9 months ago, but I liked that it was a little bit different for the holidays, too. I would definitely come back again!
Pros:
Hysterical show and very good foodCons:

My mom, a friend, and I ate here for dinner around 8pm on 12/17. Our friend held down a table while we ordered and vice versa. Mom and I each had the cheese plate and split a whole baguette. We shared the Chocolate Yule Log dessert and the Strawberry Tart. Probably could have split one cheese plate as well, but that was as great as it always is. I'm glad I tried the Yule Log but I didn't love it and still prefer the Tart. This came to a very expensive meal very fast, as the cheese plates are almost $10 each and the the desserts average around $5; our total was about $40.

Dined here on 12/15 for lunch. Had a 2pm ADR and we were seated by 2:10. Thought about asking for the child's "Bocconcini" (fried mozzarella bites) meal as an appetizer but we decided to skip an app altogether. Ordered the same meal as the last time I was here: Individual quattro formaggi pizza and the Ugly but Good sundae.
The pizza was as big as I remembered and my mom and I shared it easily, plus it was as delicious as I remembered too! We debated on a couple of desserts but ended up with the sundae, which was also great. Server was Ivana (I think) and she brought us refills very promptly. Only complaint is the price; the individual pizza, sundae, and two soft drinks brought us to $50+ once tax and gratuity were included. Even for Disney, that seems a bit steep!
Pros:
Good food and serviceCons:

We stayed at the Polynesian the first week of November and had breakfast here every morning. It was always quick and good. I had a waffle one morning, a breakfast sandwich one day and bagels the other days. DH had the Bounty plate one day and sandwiches the other days.
DH went and got carryout for us late one night and that wasn't as good. He had a burger and fries that was good, but he got me a grilled chicken sandwich and it was inedible. The chicken breast was paper thin and so dried out I couldn't eat it. If we had been in the restaurant I would have exchanged it for something else, but since he had brought it back to the room, I just ate the fries and cut my losses.

We have eaten here several times and usually have had to wait quite a while past our ADR time to be seated. I was so surprised, we checked in a little early and were seated immediately. Our server was good and brought our drinks quickly.
We got our first couple courses quickly and spaced well, but then we had a fairly long wait before anyone came around with meat. Once it came thought, it was plentiful and delicious.
The absolute highlight of the meal was that we finished up just as Wishes was starting. Our server told us to not hurry out and enjoy the show. The big plate glass windows across the back provided a fantastic view and they dimmed the lights and piped in the music. It was just a magical way to end our day.

Chef Mickey's seems to get bashed pretty often on review websites, but we had a great breakfast. We were seated quickly and had very good service. The characters were very attentive (even though we were a party of just 2 adults). The food was all very good and fresh. We ate until we were stuffed and got some fantastic pictures with the characters.

We had a 5:00 ADR and it was perfect. We checked in just as the restaurant was opening and they must seat the guests at a rate of one table per server and then start around again because we were our server's only table for the first 15 or so minutes of the meal. It was great to have such spot on service.
The buffet was very good. I especially liked the salads and soups. We mostly stuck to the seafood offerings, but there also plenty of things for a non-seafood lover. Everything was very good. We will be back.

We had lunch here in early November. The food was pretty good. Nothing spectacular, but decent. I had the nachos and they were good - I could only eat about half because it is a large portion. DH had tacos and he enjoyed them. We really liked the Churros with caramel sauce for desert. We were lucky to get a table right on the railing by the water, so it was a really nice setting for lunch.
Pros:
Nice setting on the waterCons:

We went to the first party in early November and really enjoyed it. This was our first Christmas Party. We arrived right at 4:00 and had some FPP to use between 4 and 7. We had dinner at Pecos Bill's about 5:00 and were ready for party events right at 7. We spent lots of the night standing in lines, but we got some great pictures. We met Minnie Mouse in her Christmas dress, Scrooge McDuck, and the Dwarves along with a ride of the 7DMT. The castle was beautiful, the special fireworks were great and the snow was mesmerizing. We really enjoyed the party and will most likely go again next year.
