My DS is a huge Stitch fan and this meal did not disappoint. The characters were great, Lilo, Stitch, Pluto and Mickey. We met each of them and DS participated in the parade around the restaurant. Mickey even stopped by a second time to play with DD's ponytail.
The food was really good, the fruit was so fresh and the juice was great. I also really liked the biscuits.
We definitely want to return here again.

The Napoleon I tried on my last visit back to 2010 was top of the world, I came to Disney last week and couldn't wait to taste the yamm dessert. But what a shock, although the new place is much roomy, but the best Napoleon was disappeared! This one has No taste at all! Not even as good as the one from the suppermarket near my home in Toronto! I even talked to the manager and she admitted that the chef and recipe all had been changed! So disappointing!

Spacious, no linesCons:

We ate lunch as a party of 7 on August 19th. Our reservation time was 12:15 so the restaurant was packed. It was a little overwhelming because it was so loud and crowded. There was a line for the ladies' room that stretched down the hallway.
The characters were great, we met Doc McStuffins, Jake, Handy Manny and Sofia. We were really happy to see Manny as he is DS's favorite. We liked how the server explained the character rotation so we knew when to expect the characters. They were also well spaced out. The dance parties with the kids were great too.
The food was really good and it had a great variety. There were also good dessert options. Everything was fresh and tasty.
Our server sat us, brought us drinks and never came back, never refilled our drinks or took away plates. We were long done and looking for her when she finally came with the bill. It was probably an hour between when she dropped our drinks off and when she reappeared, we never saw her in between. She then went on and on about the tip - since we were a party over 6 there is a mandatory tip of 18%. I think this is unfair for a buffet, especially with poor service, but we knew that going in and had the cash ready. She kept asking us how we were going to pay it, we told her we had cash and she kept asking if it was cash for the whole table or were my parents paying separately - she just kept asking if we were sure the tip was being paid, it was really uncomfortable.
When we left it was about 2:00 and it was really quiet, so I think in the future a slower time of day would be less chaotic.
I would recommend this place because the food and characters were good.

Myself, wife and 2 children stayed at Poly from July 23-30.
From the negative criticisms below I’d like to make people aware that we were not AT ALL affected by any construction and I have NOTHING negative to say about our stay.
Did the pool close out last 3 days? Yeah, but we are there on vacation to go to the parks, not do something we can do at home. Also to note as I have written the site multiple times however the tip has not been posted, while the main pool is under construction, you are not only able to head to Blizzard Beach but you are also allowed to use the pool at either Grand Floridian or Contemporary.
The Captain Cooks pop up worked great for us…
We were nestled in the Rarotonga building on the 3rd floor which we requested before arriving. Room was ready when we arrived via Magical Express at 1030am.
We could view the fireworks from our deck but we preferred taking the short walk to the beach.
We splurged this trip as we were celebrating so the steep price we paid (even with 30% discount) was tough to swallow. But there is certainly something to be said for staying at a monorail resort. While I prefer our trip 3 years ago at Bay Lake, this place was very convenient and as I have stated prior, I have nothing negative to say about Poly.

We enjoyed lunch here. We had a large group but the meal was still prompt. I had the lobster sandwich . It was good, but a little rich. DH and DS each ordered a Manhattan clam chowder special that was delicious . It will ruin me for any other clam chowder. We had a late lunch so the room was not overcrowded and service attentive.

My husband and I loved the small plates concept. We chose 3 different plates and shared. Before our food came we were kindly accommodated when we asked to move closer to water's edge when a table was available. Here we enjoyed tasting Mediterranean foods while watching illuminations. Wonderful . The flavors were interesting. We mostly enjoyed the vegetable preparations. Would definitely return.

We booked H&V for two reasons....Fantasmic dinner package and so our sons could really load up. There was no real value here though for our 14 year old daughter. If you are hearty eaters you will probably find an enjoyable meal. There was carved beef and turkey, salmon, a pasta station, lots of sides, but somewhat disappointing desserts. Some very nice breads with the salads. Also the tables are too small for the number of people they are set for. I don't think we'll be back.
Pros:
Lots of choicesCons:

Once again, FQ was a great choice for our Disney stay. Comfy bed and pillows. Great housekeeping. Very nice reception. The room refrigerator did not seem super cold so we were afraid to keep milk. Otherwise, great stay. Also love that the thick, germ magnet comforters are gone.

We were there for just one night. We stayed in a corner room in the football section that was actually nearest to the dining area. Great location especially since we were on the first floor. Our room smelled a little "musty" each time we entered the room. The room was clean but the curtain to the area between the bathroom and sleeping area was torn and hanging. My biggest complaint is that the buses was shared. We were there for Villains Unleashed and it looks like that someone would have made it so that each of the all stars resorts would have had there own buse for just one night since Hollywood Studios was the only park open. We ate in teh food court twice. and did not bother with refillable mugs.
