ate here May 19, read the reviews and thought it would be different than other places. Had plenty of seating and while I sat at table the others went to order food. Food was okay nothing out of this world. desserts ok too. HS is lacking in the food department. We previously ate at ABC Commissary and really like it so might go back there next time
Pros:
plenty of seating, shadedCons:

We ate here May 18. this was our second visit. We had ressies for 5:50 and arrived early. When I was waiting in line to checkin several people in front of me didn't have a ressie and asked the wait. They were told 10 minutes. After I checked I thought it wouldn't be long. We waited 20 minutes and they had taken in people who just walked up without a ressie. I was not to happy. After we were seated we had an idea of what we wanted, however, our waiter seemed to be very busy and kept passing us up. After a while he eventually made his way to us and we put in our orders with appetizers. We had the dining plan but was paying OOP for this meal. since the menu is limited we got burgers. My dd5 asked for extra pickles. Our waiter joked with us and brought out a whole bowl of pickles for her which she ate. The food was good and satisfied us. We will probably not return here just because we want to explore other restaurants and since we always get the parkhopper we will utilize this next trip.

When I received the email that Sophia & Doc was going to be at HV I got online & scheduled the first date available. I got an 8:05 ressie. We arrived at HS early since it was extra magic hrs and was met with a large line. We made our way to check in to dining and waited some more. In MK they would let you in prior to your ressie and you were able to take pics etc. Not here at rope drope it was a mad dash to get to the restaurant.
We checked in and within 5 minutes was seated. I thought the place would be packed but it wasn't. There was a lot of seats available. Our waitress got our drinks and told us it would be about 10 minutes before the characters would be to our table and she explained all the food options and the flow of the characters. We took this time to go get our food and start to eat. Everything was fresh, hot, and good variety. Your typical buffet but did offer a yogurt station and several other items. My dd5 wore her Sophia dress and was surprised by this character breakfast. (it was a surprise). The characters were Jake, Sophia, Doc, Handy. they spent time and each table and then a times throughout our meal they would gather and dance, do sing a longs, and parade around the restaurant. My family enjoyed themselves. We were on the dining plan but paid OOP for this meal which was one of the cheapest, great value for the quality of food. A lot of people didn't know that they had Doc & Sophia, I think Allears need to update their site with the addition of the new characters

new characters, fresh foodCons:

We ate here May 17, this was our second visit. The line was long but went quickly until it was our turn. Our party of 5 consisted of 2 meal plans so a person from each had to be there to order. The others went to find seating which can be a problem since this restaurant is so popular. My order consisted of the ribs/chicken combo and childs drumstick meal. We had the meal plan. After you ordered you moved to another window to pick up your food. This is where the problem started. The castmember had our order wrong and when I tried to correct her and tell her what was missing she argued back and started talking too fast so I couldn't understand her since her English was very broken. My son who works in food service tried to explain to her what was wrong with our order (we were missing our desserts and our drinks were wrong). After back and forth discussion another castmember came over since we were holding up the line and seen the error. They quickly corrected it and apologized. We found a nice shaded pavilion by the lake and the food was fantastic. Will eat here time and time again. I understand that castmembers can come from their native country and English can be difficult, but if you are working in customer service you should be able to articulate enough so that problems don't arise.

great foodCons:

6/24/14 evening. Food ok for the price. The cashier was struggling with her English, but she was trying hard.
The server was like he didn't care if he was there or not. Not friendly at all. Never came back to ck on us. No tip because of the service. Next time go out to a local pizza place.

Our last visit was 6/21/14 thru 6/27/14. Family of 3 this year, our son opted out. We have stayed at FQ so many time and its just like home to us. Everything was great at resort. Check in was so easy. Magic Bands are a plus!!
Compared to other resorts we stayed at, it is just the right size. Life guard at the pool are great. They never seem to stop scanning the pool area.
The greater at the door is always nice & polite.
Check in was the best so far. Sorry I forgot her name but she is from New Jersey. Very nice young lady.
Only negative outside resort was Downtown Disney. There is a lot of construction going on and areas are closed of so it made it so crowded. I suggest you go in the morning or during the daytime hours. Beware the nighttime visits, its sooooo crowded!!!
Mouse keeping at the parks seem to be a little on the downside this year. Also you can tell when your not in a true Disney owned restaurant, (on property) not the same service with a smile that you expect. Getting too many outsider company's. But that's business I guess.
As for the Resort again, best on property. You wont be disappointed.

We visited Liberty Tree Tavern on our trip last week with 5 adults and 2 little guys, and it was a great time. We enjoyed the rolls and honey butter, and even asked for more, which our server Abby happily brought. The salad was okay, nothing special, but then the food came. It's not gourmet food, but it is solid good food, like home cooking. Remember to ask for cranberry sauce if you can't eat turkey without it (like me). The veggies were good, as was the mac & cheese for the kids. Dessert was okay, but we missed the apple cobbler. My son was celebrating his third birthday and the servers sang to him and brought him a cupcake. He enjoyed it. Abby, our server, was wonderful- very friendly and helpful. We would go back again because it's a fun place for the family.
Pros:
Fun atmosphere, good server, good foodCons:

Stayed May 16-24. Had preferred room
Dalmations Bldg. Upon checkin (which was done online prior) was escorted to guest services and had hard time speaking with castmember who spoke very bad English. Had requested connecting rooms on ground floor. This was our third stay and the first two was a wonderful experience. Not so much this time. It took the cast member over 30 minutes to try to get us assigned a room. Somehow, my sons connecting room was giving them a hard time. I had the room numbers from 2013 trip and I know that Disney can never guarantee our requests but I have to admit I'm spoiled by the fact that I had gotten them previously. Not this time. We ended up on the third floor at the end of the building. Not what I wanted but wanted to start my vacation and since the room was ready we decided to give it a try. We had rented a stroller for my dd5 and it was waiting upon our arrival. The room was clean and we had towel animals several times during our stay. We had an issue with magic bands not working to get into our room but this was quickly corrected. Even though I would prefer to stay on ground level, it wasn't that bad. during this trip we were able to visit other resorts and will definitely try them next time. My biggest complaint was that the week we were there. I think every teenager in
Florida was also there and was rude, loud, and creating inappropriate behavior. I will pay more next time to avoid this. the buses were good except when you had to compete with again teenagers who wouldn't give up their seats for the elderly or moms carrying infants.

We were here on may 27. Had à 9 pm ressie but tables were still full. We have been here twice and been in the ball room both times but this time toward the back and watched the snow falling. Everyones food was spot on and we all cleaned our plates. I don't remember our servers name but he was excellent. Only downside is getting pictures with the master. Even at 10:30 pm the room was still full. Everyone who goes to wdw needs to go here at least once.

We ate here may 24 on our first day. We usually eat here at least once per trip. This time myself, wife and 13 year old son were treated to à MAGICAL MOMENT. We were served at our table with réal plates and silverware. Also glasses were refilled by our waiter. The steak was good and the waiter alot of fun.
