We finally tried Liberty Tree Tavern and we were not disappointed. I read mixed reviews so I was a little hesitant to give it a try. We loved it. Food was delicious. My son is very picky and they did bring him something else that was not on the menu which was great. My husband did not care for the desert but my daughter and I liked it. We will definitely be back!

We enjoyed Tusker house. They have a good variety of food. My husband and kids love the juice there. We did not wait long for our characters to come to our table. Our server was great. We had an early reservation and were able to walk onto safari without a wait.

Yak & Yeti has become a favorite for us. The food is very good. Even my extremely picky eater tried new foods here and liked them. The honey chicken is our favorite dish as well as the green beans.

This is a hidden gem and I will be back even if we are not staying here. We were celebrating our anniversary and the gave us a free mimosa. The crab cake benedict and they were yummy. Even our little one enjoyed some of the crab cake. Hubby had waffle and eggs-now he is very picky on how his waffles -extra dark and eggs-whites not running are cook and they were perfect. Little one had mickey waffles and of course loved them. We had an early reservation and got right in. Even when we left about 8:30 it still was not crowded.

We stayed in studio 2620 over Labor Day weekend. My husband did not like that when we got there to check-in there was no parking. He had to circle the parking lot several times and still did not find a spot. He kept circling while I went in to check-in. I had did online check-in so even though the check0in area was packed within 10 seconds of walking in and getting in the online check-in line a cast member with IPAD came and checked me in. Because we were early the room was not ready so the texted my our room # later Our little one wanted to swim but since we could not park we ended out driving to DTD. I had requested a room near transportation and the bus spot was next to the 26 building. We were on the 2nd floor so walking up the steps was hard on my bad knees. The room was a good size..Little one loved the towel flower on the bed. We were abel to see some fireworks from our balcony. The main pool was crowded when we finally got there but she enjoyed the slide. The tub did not drain while taking a shower so by the end of the shower you were standing in 6 inches of water. There were some missing tiles on the wall in the bathroom. The exhaust fan di not work well so the mirror steamed up during the shower. The door in the freezer was broken. This was our fist time staying here and we will not be back. I was very disappointed.
Pros:
pretty grounds, cast membersCons:
no elevators, slow, slow draining bathtub, needs updatingReviewed by bosca Review Date: 09/01/2014

Booked this resort for myself and 2 daughters Aug. 21 – 29 with a little trepidation since I knew there was construction taking place throughout. So glad we did. Quick service restaurant had just reopened so didn’t have an issue with the grab and go or coffee in the morning. Also, nice to find it was still opened after a late night at the park to get a cold drink. All around, cast members were extremely friendly and helpful (Ellis is great!) and mouse-keeping left several towel animals (even used my daughter’s blanket for one) which is always fun to see when you come back to the room. Used the quiet pool several afternoons and cast members had games going for the kids. Not too crowded which was fine with us - just right for a rest and cool down before heading back out to a park for the evening. We ate one night at Kona’s. We were late for our reservation after getting stuck at Epcot in a heavy downpour. Very accommodating – let us go back to the room and dry off/change before seating us. Food was delicious. The ongoing construction did not impact us at all. In fact it was fun to see what new changes magically took place overnight. Yes, there are fences up around the main pool area and when you walk to the ticket and transportation center, but, they have a green ivy colored covering so they sort of blend in. Took advantage of the Blizzard Beach free admission as well. We’d never been before so it was a nice opportunity to see what the water park had to offer. Combined it with an Animal Kingdom morning as the parks are close together. Took the #1 bus (Wilderness Lodge/Grand Floridian) directly to Blizzard Beach from Animal Kingdom since they stop there before heading back to the resorts. Found this out by asking a cast member. Put our bathing suits, etc. in a locker at Animal Kingdom, kept the receipt and then got a locker for our clothes at Blizzard Beach without having to pay twice. You only have to pay once for a same day rental. We usually stay closer to Epcot – Beach Club or Swan/Dolphin – but couldn’t get anything there for our vacation time frame. Guess it was fate, because we had a great time and didn’t want to leave. Our room with 2 queen beds and a day bed was in the Rarotonga building (my request since it is closest to the main building) overlooking the gardens but, really, I don’t think it would have mattered if we were on the monorail/parking lot side. By the time we hit the room at the end of the day all we wanted to see were our beds – which were extremely clean and comfortable!

The variety of food is great. It was very busy but there was lots of food and it was good. The juice was great and so was the coffee. Our waitress made sure we had lots of time with the characters and even warned them the baby was unsure of them to go slow with him. We had a great time here and got to try new things to eat. We look forward to doing this again

Great food and staffCons:

We were on time for our reservation but had close to a 50 minute wait to be seated. Our food took close to 45 minutes to arrive. A table that was seated before us ate and left before our food arrived. Three of us ordered steaks one well done and 2 medium and we had a childrens' chicken the steaks were all burnt on the out side and rare on the inside the macaroni and cheese was cold and so were the steaks. The chicken was burnt too. The waiter did get a pizza for my grandson to eat which was very nice of him but we couldn't send ours back and still use our fast pass too. This was the worst meal I have ever had at Disney or really anywere.

It was airconditionedCons:

I love their cobb salad. I would have given them a ten but my salad was a lot smaller than the last time I was there. The desserts were wonderful. The cast members are great here. They were busy but we never felt rushed. I simply love this place trip after trip.

My daughter loved her sandwich. My grandson said it was the best hamburger he had the whole trip. Having said the sandwiches were good I have to say the fries were not so good. They were cold and seemed old.
