My mom and I ate here for lunch on our departure day, 12/19. We shared the Create Your Own Pasta, with shrimp fettuccine alfredo. They've changed the accompanying bread from a garlic bread to breadsticks, which we ordered an extra side of. Pasta was very good and great for sharing. Mom had a magic cookie bar for dessert which was easily packaged up to go. Seating was plentiful at 2:30pm.

Three of us ate here for lunch on 12/16. It was pretty empty at that time. I had the meatball sub with chips, my friend had the mac and cheese with chicken, and my mom had a burger with fries. All were cooked fresh, but it seemed to take a long time. I ordered three beignets; when I ordered, there were two people at that station. They said to come back in about five minutes. When I did, there was only one person and he was manning the fryer. It took him a long time to notice that I was there and to give me the container that was sitting on the counter. The beignets were good but much, much smaller than I remember.

We ate here for 4 out of 5 breakfasts on our trip. Most days it was a quick muffin, pastry, or cinnamon roll, but one day we did actually sit down. I had the bacon and cheese croissant, which was not great. The cheese wasn't warmed up, just a slice of American thrown under the two slices of bacon. The eggs retained the shape of the scooper until I spread them out with a fork! My mom had a Mickey waffle with fresh raspberries that she enjoyed very much. Stick to waffles, pancakes, and such and it will be fine.
Pros:
Rarely crowded, good pastriesCons:

I dined here for the fifth time on 12/14, accompanied by my mom and a friend. Our reservation was at 5:20pm; due to a delayed scooter delivery and a huge backup in the parking lot, mom and I were running late. Our friend was able to check us in and change our party from two to three, and they sat us as soon as we were all there.
Little John was our server and he was FANTASTIC! Sat right down at the table with us to take our order and explain the rules. He introduced us to everyone else in our section, and to remember all those names takes some serious dedication!
My friend had the Onion Rings and my mom and I shared the Fried Herb & Garlic Cheese to start. This is one of my favorite appetizers and it didn't disappoint! Little John recommended the PB&J shake made with chocolate ice cream because it tastes just like a Reese's cup, and that was a spot on description.
Little John did some other antics with us throughout the meal, including peeking around corners from the kitchen to give "I'm watching you" gestures to my mom and having us sing happy birthday to someone in the section. It was great fun, and a big reason we keep coming back here.
For our entrees, my friend and I each had the pot roast (amazing as always), and my mom had a new entree, the stuffed pork chop. She loved it! My friend and I even joined the clean plate club and Little John gave about 20 of the stickers to my friend. We declined dessert because we were heading to the Frozen party. I can't recommend this place highly enough!
Pros:
Best restaurant of the trip, one of our favorites in the WorldCons:

We had breakfast here on 12/07/2014 and our server was "M.T".....wallet that is 🙂 ~ she was great. We had early reservations but nobody missed a beat with the entertaining atmosphere. Our food was excellent. If you are staying at The Wilderness Lodge and want a filling meal before heading off to the parks, we highly recommend this spot.

WOW! Why did we wait so long to eat here? It has always been on our list to try and now it is on our list to do each time. A huge buffet with lots of selections. I never even made it to the dessert side, I was too full. Our kids are 14 and 11 and somewhat picky. They loved the food and the entertainment. You will sit by strangers, but that is part of the fun. Prost!

We ate here 12/08/2014 for a late night meal. All together we had a soup, sandwich, and Chicken nugget platter. Good place to eat if you do not want a greasy burger. Nice place to sit and many may overlook it. We sat upstairs and had no idea so much room was available.

We ate here on 12/08/2014. The food was excellent. DH had Pot Roast, DD had Turkey, DS had cheeseburger, & I had the BLT. All selections were great. This is a great spot to eat mid-day and reservations are a must. Our table was close to a family that were a little loud, (but, hey....it's a vacation place) It did not ruin our meal at all. We have been here before and will return.

We stayed here on our honeymoon in 1998. We have since stayed in 2004, 2008, 2011, and 2014. Minor things have changed but one thing stays the same....this place always just feels like "home". We have visited several other resorts and just do not feel the "magic" like we do at the Lodge. It's a great location with lots of amenities.

While I didn't get as many photos taken on this trip as in the past, I was still pleased. There were photographers all over the place in Epcot and Magic Kingdom. We only got one photo at Hollywood Studios. All the locations at the Osborne Lights had very long lines, and they don't have a photographer out by the tree in the entrance plaza during EMH.
Only one magic shot was done for us, but we also didn't ask for any. At MVMCP, one of the photos on Main Street had a special border that made it look like we were in a snow globe, which was very cool and unexpected. Our photo from Hoop dee Doo is cute. We did Test Track and the Mine Train, but no other rides with photos. I think the quality of the mine train photos could be better; the camera seems to be placed in a weird spot and many photos I've seen are blurry or sun streaked.
