I THOUGHT WE WERE ALL FINISHED WHEN MY ONE GRANDDAUGHTERS DECIDED SHE WANTED MORE WAFFLES. THE SERVER WENT AND GOT HER A CLEAN PLATE AND FORK AND SHE HAD HER OWN PLATE OF WAFFLES - WHICH SHE ATE ALL OF IT - I REALLY DO ENJOY OHANA'S. THANK YOU FOR A GREAT EXPERIENCE.

large party of 14 - had tables in wonderland - got a discount for the second show. we were on the top level - seating 3 - I didn't have a problem seeing and I was the last one seated at back of table all the way in the back, the last seat. others in my party complained they couldn't see. I wasn't disappointed in the food or show, just upset that my family didn't enjoy it for the amount of money I paid. I should have gotten down front but it would have cost me an additional $200. I did enjoy Ohana's more. we did that last year. Nice to try once. The fire dancer did a great job and it was nice seeing the different dances from other islands. I enjoyed eating outside even though it poured, we did not get wet and there was a delay in the show. I did feel like I was on the island.

We took the keys to the kingdom tour (8:30am) and were very pleased with it. We left our DD(16) and DS(15) on their own for the morning and they had their own fun. Haylee our tour guide was vey eager to snow us all the hidden secrets that are right out in plain site in MK. YEs, we eventually went "underground", but as others have posted, that's not as exciting as it might seem. We learned a lot more about Walt and Roy and our kids got a kick out of some of the things we learned when we later hooked up,with them. Lunch was nice in the American Pavilion. It was a really hot day and there is ALOT of walking I really thing the tour could be cut short about 1/2 hour or 45 min and still be as enjoyable. You really have to be interested in Disney to enjoy it, which we are. Definitely well worth the price.

had 2 villas - each was a 2bedroom - traveling with 14 - 6 teenagers - 1 year old - 87 yr old - 6 Adults - the resort was clean and very quiet. I did the cooking in the 1 villa. housekeeping brought me all the pots I needed.
the teenagers complain about the 2nd bathroom being too dark but loved the all the space on the vanity.
the kids used both the main and quiet pool near our villa. they thought the main pool was too loud and noisy.
our villa was near Downtown Disney which was nice. we used the walkway and didn't have to worry about parking the cars.
the frig doesn't have an ice maker - had to walk to get ice or use the ice tray in the freezer which took awhile to make
Housekeeping did stop by on our check out day to ask what time we would be leaving - trying to feed everyone and pack everything up, I felt like they were trying to get us out of the villa. They stopped by both villas. I did the early check-in and on that I stated I would be out by 10:30 AM. I didn't need someone knocking on my door at 7:30 to find out what time I thought I would be gone. A better way is to give housekeeping a call when you are leaving the room. We were out by 9:30am .
Old Key West is still my home but Saratoga Springs was nice to visit.

Loved the pizza, loved the salad from the appetizer section of the menu. Our favorite meal all week! We're from NY and thought this was great pizza, different from what we're used to , but delicious.

A few years back this used to be one of my family's favorite spots to eat at Epcot. No longer! I have no idea what happened. I don't think 3 small tacos with nasty, tasteless chips for 11.00 a great value. Most Mexican restaurants serve rice with their meals, not just chips. We were so disappointed with this meal. We will never go back unless things change dramatically. Another complaint was that the tables were extremely dirty. I don't think anyone cleaned them all day!

I agree 100% with the previous reviewer. I had the exact same experience the week of 8/16-8/23. This resort is way too large. It took us 10 minutes to walk to the main building (Port Royale) After a day in the parks in the August heat, the last thing you want to do to is to have to walk more! The food at the food court was marginal at best, the choices were poor. I have been to WDW 10 times, 8 staying inside Disney and have never complained. I prefer some of the value resorts over Caribbean Beach. It was not worth the extra money.
Pros:
Decor, landscaping, ease of check-in/outCons:

The restaurant was themed and decorated beautifully, it was cozy, rustic and super clean. Our reservation was at 4:45 and only 1/4 of the tables were filled. Our server was great and they had a really nice activity book and crayons for our DS.
The food was AMAZING. It was fresh, delicious and had a great variety. The desserts were great too, I really appreciated that they had fruit out as well.
We traveled with a baby so when she got fussy I was able to take her and my DS to the playground right by the restaurant while the other members if our party finished their dinners and paid.
Wonderful experience, we are hoping to do this one again!

The food here is above average and our server Summer was outstanding. Don't order the fried chicken. It is a large, hard mound of fried bread that is non-negotiable.

We had a 7:20 reservation and were seated within 5 minutes. The food was well prepared and our server Bing was excellent. Unfortunately some parents look at buffets as an excuse to let their children run loose while others are trying to eat. I believe this dining location deserves a much higher rating than a 6.
