We ate lunch here in June 2023. We’d never eaten here before and weren’t sure what to expect, but we were impressed! Everyone in our group of 7 said it was excellent. When I made the reservations 60 days in advance, there was no availability for 7, so we made two reservations—one for 4 and one for 3–but they were still able to seat our whole group together. We were seated on the second floor, in a nicely themed room with glorious air conditioning! Service was excellent—we had no complaints. We ordered the miso salmon, teriyaki chicken, chicken tikka masala, Dan Dan noodles and Korean surf and turf. They were all delicious choices, as well as the sides, which included tasty roasted vegetables and jasmine rice. This is our new Animal Kingdom favorite!
Pros:
Excellent food, great service, nice theming, air conditioning, good valueCons:

We stayed in a Nemo family suite for one night on April 19th. We had originally booked a family suite at the All-Star Music resort but once we arrived at the Orlando airport we received a phone call to let us know that we were moved to Art of Animation. We arrived at the resort around 10PM and were helped right away by bell service. We did the check in while on the bus from the airport and went right to our room. The room was big but filled up quickly with 4 adults and 2 teenagers (girls). My wife and I slept on the pull out couch which was not comfortable. The teenagers slept on the pull down table and they didn't have a tone of room to move. The grandparents slept in the dedicated bedroom and hey said it was very big and the bed was comfortable. We are DVC members and have never stayed at a value resort so the theming was very different and fun for one night. We enjoyed walking around the resort the next morning and taking pictures of the outdoor décor. It was nice to still have two bathrooms and the little kitchenet to store some items. We didn't really unpack since we were moving to the Beach Club Villas the next day but we did notice their weren't a lot of places to unpack if you were staying for a longer time except for the main bedroom. It was nice to jump on the Skyliner to transfer over to the Beach Club the next day instead of jumping around on buses. Overall the resort was nice and clean but the room would have felt small if we stayed the week.
Pros:
Clean, good sized rooms. Two bathrooms in the family suite is great. Being on a Skyliner resort is always a plus. The all around Disney in your face theming is fun. The main bedroom in the suite is great.Cons:
The pull out couch and pull down table bed in the family suite are small and not very comfortable. Lack of storage to unpack or just have space for luggage is a minus.Reviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 06/29/2023

In the private viewing area, you will wait for one hour after check in, outdoors, without refreshment or entertainment. Disney staff will not allow you to put your small child on your shoulders to see, and there will be people standing in front of you. Sitting down for drinks and refreshments afterward is nice, but you will be uncomfortable and very likely thirsty for the duration of your wait and the actual fireworks show.
Pros:
You can access a roped off area in the garden to stand. People who are not in this roped off area who are watching for free can still stand in front of you, but you will be placed in the middle of the garden.Cons:
Check in is confusing and everything will not be taken care of for you. Your view will still be blocked. It is standing room only. You will not be allowed to assist your children to get a better view. If you check in on time, you will have to wait for a full hour before the show starts. Children will be bored to tears while they wait in the Florida sun.Review of Best Friends Pet Care

I just can’t say enough wonderful words for Doreen who has cared for our little Lola twice now. We visit Disney and Universal monthly. I always make sure that Doreen will be there when we book our hotel. She is the absolute most sincere person and our Lola adores her. We had a Pom before Lola that we had to say goodbye to when Covid first started. We boarded Louie there often also, yet the standard of care that Doreen provided went above and beyond. Lola was rescued and a bit shy but she instantly connected with Doreen.
Pros:
Loving and caring atmosphere. Doreen is the best.Cons:
Can’t think of any cons.Review of STK Orlando

Worse steak house ever. They ran out of the steak my partner ordered, no mushrooms, etc. Food was delivered before appetizer - truly couldn’t tell if they brought out the same food first delivered before appetizers. I told the manager that we have J.Gilberts in Connecticut that was superior to STK in Orlando. Felt bad for our server as she had to keep coming back to our table with all the bad news. Manager was no so nice when we complained. Felt like our bill should have reflected our disappointments.

This is not a thrill ride (cosmic rewind is a 20) but it is awesome for what it is. Think about DEI - you need some diversity in your trip a little science a little education and a little perspective about the role of farming in your life. It aint easy growing food - i known I am feeding a deer family of 5
Pros:
relaxing, a bit educational (something slowing being removed from EPCOT) and just well doneCons:

we have been to epcot many times and have never hit this place
it was perfect - I'm not British so perhaps the F&C is not perfect but we really enjoyed. Our fish was crispy on the outside and moist (not greasy) on the inside the chips were good as well. Plus we were able to sit inside at seats as the restaurant was not yet open and hey had entertainment playing the piano - an unexpected treat!
Pros:
food was good!Cons:
had to get drinks at bar - not a huge deal just an added stepReview of Grand Floridian Resort (Deluxe Resort)

we stayed at 3br grand villa (dvc points) for our daughters wedding. it was perfect. we were able to host guests watch the eagles win! and have food in the room for our guests to stop by and relax. The room was mag! and we were able to host fireworks "party".
if you are having a wedding consider this option- also the wedding was great!
