In the past this was a "must do", unfortunately this years visit was very disappointing. The service was good but the food was not. The salad was OK but had blue cheese in it (which is not a favorite). The all you can eat skillet had chicken, ribs, pulled pork and steak. The ribs were very overdone and dry, the pulled pork had very little BBQ sauce on it and the steak was tough and chewy. Our daughter liked the chicken, but the rest of us were not impressed. We asked for more of each meat and the refills were of the same quality. This meal is highly overpriced for the quality of food. We had a better meal at Texas Roadhouse the following weekend for half the price! Make sure to note that dessert is NOT included as in the past.

For a moderate resort, this was excellent. Caribbean Beach had beautiful grounds and I completely enjoyed walking the 1.2 mile path around the resort. The pool and jacuzzi area was wonderful. The restaurant area was not the greatest. It was more of a Sizzler's atmosphere then what I expected from Disney. The rooms were small but nice for a moderate resort. The towels were scratchy and coming apart. They were worse than Motel 6. No lotion and the shampoo and conditioner bottles fell apart as soon as we opened them - quite a waste if you ask me. The service was very good. All the people were excellent except for one woman at the luggage service area. She must have been having a bad day and was pretty unkind on the phone. We would stay again at the Caribbean Beach but will probably opt for a deluxe resort or the log cabins for our next stay.

Unfortunately, this recent visit was not as good as the last. The food was very tasty but it seemed to be lumped onto plates that were not quite big enough for our large party. We left a lot of meat that we would have like to have just left in the kitchen. We tried to let our server know that less pork, more turkey but I don't think that's how it is served at Liberty Tree Tavern. Unfortunately, that is wasteful. The delicious dessert was not served individually but all lumped onto one plate. Not very pretty and very had to serve up when the ice cream is melting. I like the individual apple cobblers much better. I think we wasted quite a bit of food which made me sad. The food was incredibly delicious - especially the dressing and sweet potatoes. Definitely would go back but will not be first on our list.
Pros:

One of our favorite dining experiences. We walked around the grounds of the lodge before dinner and were able to see many different African animals - what a treat! The dinner was superb. The different kinds of food were fabulous and the spices and tastes of the different foods were excellent!! My sister has a food allergy and one of the chefs came out and walked her through the buffet so she knew what she could eat and what she couldn't. The service could not have been better. Our server must have had eyes in the back of his head. He took our plates and filled our glasses before we even knew we needed it. Excellent buffet for all ages. We loved it!!

Absolutely the best dinner at Disney World! Boma came close but Teppan Edo was amazing. The food is the freshest you can get. It is cooked on the Benihana-style grill at your table and is quite delicious. My sons said they had never had steak quite as tender and cooked to perfection. I had the scallops which were so good - I would have licked my plate if it weren't such a nice restaurant!! Everything was delicious and fresh and the service was impeccable. My sister has food allergies and the manager came out and spoke with her before dinner. Will definitely return to Teppan Edo!!
Pros:

All of our party of 7 enjoyed the ambiance of the Coral Reef. The aquarium is magnificent and all tables are configured so you can see the tank. There were divers in it when we were dining and it was quite a show. The food was good. It would have been nice to have a little more flavor but, overall, it was pretty good. The desserts were beautiful and the turtle cheesecake was pretty yummy. The service was quite good and we enjoyed our first evening at Disney World at the Coral Reef.

The food was delicious and the service was great. I absolutely loved the pecan tarts and my two sons were given huge strawberry shortcakes for dessert for their birthdays - scrumptious!!! My husband thinks they were the best he's ever had! The salmon was cooked to perfection and I have never had better oven-baked potatoes. Soft-serve ice cream was delicious and I kept going back for more green beans. Definitely worth the table service on the dining plan. The ambiance of the campground is amazing. It is truly the most serene and beautiful place in Disney World!!

delicious food and great serviceCons:

I ordered the mini corn dogs for a snack While I waited for the parade. The fixing bar has everything you could want on a hot dog. Was very tasty and enjoyable, they mini corn dogs are served in a cup I just put the fixings over the top and ate them with a fork, so it was also not a messy snack.
Pros:
Quick spot to get a snackCons:

I always have the cheese platter with a french baguette. The cheese is a nice selection and reminds me so much of my visit to Paris. I was on the DDP so I also got to choose a yummy dessert.

It was nice to order a bacon cheeseburger for a change. It was hot and fresh. I was able to order the fruit cup for dessert.
