I'm highly disappointed in this restaurant. We have been going to Disney for many many years and have never dined at this restaurant. We finally decided we should try it. We read the reviews on it and I'm concerned as to why there is positive reviews on this restaurant. The restaurant is extremely dirty and the food... well... it's exactly like having a TV Dinner! Not worth the money at all! The positive was it was character dining (which the characters costumes were filthy as well) and the dessert skillet was pretty delicious. I was just here in September 2014, so this is a very recent review and my suggestion is to use your money elsewhere on a better dinner. 100% not worth it at all, even with the characters. Disney, you should be ashamed of yourselves!

We didn't make reservations here but were happy to sit at the bar for dinner. We didn't miss the fireworks because it was Night of Joy & there weren't any. Everyone was very nice. We had the best service from Clinta the bartender. He was very personable, offering suggestions, making small talk & letting us take our time, all while he was training a new employee. We started with the ravioli (wonderful) & BBQ flatbread (very good). The mixed drinks were very good, not too strong. I had the chicken which was delicious, juicy with a crispy coating but I wouldn't call it fried. DH had the filet and he really enjoyed it, very tender & cooked well.
I was surprised at the number of small children here so late at night. One even sat at the bar for awhile, which I thought was illegal. All that being said DH & I were still able to enjoy a nice dinner & conversation

Our party of five had dinner here our first night. I thought it was a great way to kick off the trip. You could visit all the characters without standing in line. All of the characters came by , most twice. Janice our waitress was fantasic! When half the part missed Mickey she made sure he came back by before we left. The kids loved eating here & even my shy son & repressed DH joined in the napkin dance.
The food is mediocre. There wasn't a lot of selection and nothing was great. Though I was pleasantly surprised by the short ribs. The desserts were very good. DH felt it was over priced for the food but you're not going here for food. It's for characters & fun!

It had some different food choices. The 15yo in our party chose the sushi & she liked it. The turkey wrap was good & the housemade chips were great. I recommend the Piña Colava. It was DELICIOUS! The only bad part in our experience was that the nachos on the menu were actually cold cheese dip with corn chips. A big disappoint to the kids in our party. They hadn't eaten since 6 am & wanted food. The staff was unable to even heat up the dip because that location didn't have a microwave. I didn't notice if they offered private dining at this location. If they do I would go that route in the future. It's a great place for drinks or snacks

I don't know that the price should be considered a negative as it's about what you pay at nice steak restaurant in OKC. We had some trouble with the wait. The staff at BLT was supposed to move our ressie time back, then we got caught in a ridiculous line at the front gate at EPCOT, so we were late & waited 30 minutes for our table. However, everybody else had a long wait too. I thought an 8:30 res would by pass that but I guess not.
The food more than made up for the wait. We had a party of 5, me, DH, DN15, DS12 & DD9. Me DN & DH had the filet with the return of the mushroom risotto & it was as delicious as everyone says. DS had surprise! Grilled chicken which was very good. DD had some sort of turkey kabob which was made with ground turkey & looked like a really dark, small corn dog. It came with a yogurt dipping sauce. I was worried she would hate it, but she loved it. We also had some starters, Me & DS had cheddar soup which tasted more like cheesy potato but was still good. DH had the tomato & mozzarella salad, it was very good. The service was prompt & friendly but nothing over the top. This was the one place that DN didn't complain about the food, so it was a win. Go at least once

We had lunch here on 9/5 without a reservation. I was surprised that we were able to get a table (inside!) in less than 5 mins. Our waiter was fast & friendly though difficult to understand at first. Once he asked where we were from he seemed to slow down his speech a little. DH had the bangers & mash which was very good. I just wanted something lite so I chose the trio of cheeses all of them were good & I really enjoyed the accompaniments. DS had the grilled chicken "it's the best!". DD had kids fish & chips which she liked much more than the Raglan Rd version. DN ordered a side salad as "the menu is small & nothing sounds good", which she didn't enjoy because it had blue cheese. I thought the salad was very tasty. We were happy with our experience.

This is our second time eating at Sci-Fi & we enjoyed it just as much as the first time. This place is a big hit with the kids & DH & I appreciate the service. We had a great waitress, Tula. We started with the fried pickles. It had both chips & spears so everyone was happy. DD9 order kids fish & loved it. DS12 ordered a kids burger & loved it. I had the delicious shrimp pasta & DH had a bacon cheese burger. The only complaint was from DN15 which was no surprise as she complained about every meal. She ordered a well done picnic burger & was surprised that it was dry. The candy bar dessert was awesome! The movie reel is getting longer, it lasted almost 60 minutes but you did see some repeat. Overall, we always enjoy eating here & I recommend to everyone at least once.

This is a great MK QS! Our party of 4 (me, DN 15, DS 12, DD 9) had lunch with school friends on 9/2. It was very busy but we were able to find seating upstairs & that was very peaceful. I had the caprese flatbread which was very good. Both DN & DS had pepperoni flatbread & ate it all. DD had kids macaroni and she really enjoyed it. It was DN birthday so they gave her a free cake.

I was logged into My Disney Experience at 11:59pm ready to reserve my family's fast passes at midnight, exactly 60 days before our arrival in November. Imagine my shock when the new/ big rides/ parades were CLOSED to any further fast pass distribution for the ENTIRE week. No Toy Story Mania fast pass. No Seven Dwarfs Mine Train. No wishes, etc , etc, etc.. Since resort guests are eligible to reserve 60 days out from the first day of their vacation for their ebtire stay(up to 10 days)guests arriving a few days before us were allowed to book a few days before us. I know the old kiosks will NEVER be brought back but Disney needs to find a way to make the fast pass distribution more fair for everyone. At least the old way every guest was given the same opportunity to obtain fast passes at the same time, park opening until times are all taken. If you didn't get one it's because of your choice not to make it on time. I have no choice with the new system. Is it possible another family cancels their fast passes for something we want at the exact same time I am online checking ,once again ,if anything opened up for one of the rides that actually needs a fast pass? I guess anything is possible:) but not likely. At least we have fast passes for Monsters inc . LOL!! Get it together Disney or you will lose another family of regular visitors.

First I would like to say we loved our first time on the Disney Cruise Line. The only thing I would have changed was I would not have wasted our money or time going to the Atlantis Resort Aquadaventure excursion. The staff there was extremely rude, the prices were very high for everything. $17 for a rum and coke. The aquarium was no better than what you could see in Houston at Moody gardens. The waterpark, was not a real water park. A few slides, and few pools. We are used to parks like schlitterbahn and this is what we expected for the price.
