The restaurant is beautiful inside. That is the only nice thing I can say, the menu is extremely limited. Our waiter was terrible it took us almost 2 1/2 to eat dinner because he kept disappearing. People that came in after us had their food & were leaving before our entrees came out. I had the cobb salad, which was ok, but I have had better at other places, I also had the pork chop the first two bites were good & then the rest was raw inside ( not medium , raw ) & inedible. When I left 3/4 of my pork chop on the plate the waiter never asked if there was an issue just took the plate & disappeared again. My son had the filet, which he said was good & my husband had the lamb chops. We all agreed it was not worth two dining points. We all said we had a better meal at Coral Reef in Epcot

After many times of having reservations & then cancelling we finally went to Biergarten on this trip. The waitress was wonderful & the atmosphere was great. The food was just so so. Everything is set up as a family style buffet, so we tried a little bit of everything. I have had better meals at other Disney dining resturants

We ( 3 adults) just returned from Port Orleans riverside. We paid extra & stayed in a preferred room, which I highly recommend. We were in Bldg 18 ( alligator Bayou ) which was a short walk to the main Bldg & buses. When we got to the room it was so quiet & peaceful you would not believe you were staying at such a large resort. I loved the fact that when there was a kids party at the old man island pool, there was a quiet pool right behind our bldg. I would highly recommend this resort. We have stayed at Pop Century & port Orleans french quarter in the past
Pros:
Peaceful, multiple pools, extraseating area for breakfastCons:

Cookes is a hidden gem in the Disney World resort. It doesn’t really get talked about by foodies, but it is my personal favorite of the counter services. I really enjoyed the Chicken Tenders and Fries the last time I went their. It tastes like something you’d get at a table service not a counter. The French Fries are so good here that they seem to have no rival in Disney World. Their much different then the ones that you would usually get at a counter service. Most of the fries used in Disney counters are thin shoestrings. These are stubby uneven steak fries so they taste more like a potato then their counterparts. If you don’t want the Chicken there’s plenty of other stuff to choose from. I don’t think I want to try anything else though because the Chicken Tenders are so good. The Free Refill Machines are a plus, especially on a hot day.
I was so stuffed afterward my Chicken that I had to get my dessert Cookie to go. There’s many desserts to choose from other then that though, like the Strawberry Roll, Fried Candy Bars, and Baked Meringues (w/ strawberry and ice cream). Plus these are things you can’t get anywhere else. Unlike many of the counters at Magic Kingdom which seem to have the same 3 desserts.
The only reason I couldn't give this place a 9 is because of what this place looks like and where it is in Disney World. The atmosphere is very forgettable, all I can remember about it is the chalkboard looking menus. The restaurant is also very tiny, it feels like it's made for Leprechauns. The most that can fit inside the restaurant is probably four to five families. So me and my family had to sit outside at a heavy lawn table and chairs. The location of the restaurant is also really outta the way. Even if you are going to Downtown Disney/Disney Springs it is a bit of a hike to get there.

We attended the star war's dinner, and had a great time. Food was the typical buffet, but filled and plentiful.
Character's where outstanding, the best we have come accross.
The allergy to chocolate was an issue. Every pastry, cupcake was either chocholate or had a chocholate star wars written on it. > Asked the chef he came over and had to get a cheesecake out of the resturant next door and was soooooooooo nice about the whole thing.
Our CM waitress was earning her ear's and she was wonderful and very helpful!

We attended the star wars breakfast, and was VERY dissappointed.
Being a party of 2 we where once again "hitch hikers". And placed in back seat with a family in front of us.
The Character's had no idea that our party was not the entire car and we where skipped by several character's who took pictures with kids from 1st row and then left. We had to track down a character handler and explain this.
It was sooooooooooo dark in the theater that sis almost ate the chocholate on the danishes and she is allergic. We could not see it. Food was warm but lack luster and since so where character's I would not do this again.
We really looked forward to this event and where very dissappointed.

Had late lunch and had a wonderful cm. Took his time, let us linger and cool off. No rushing. Tables where being prepped for dinner but saw no one being pushed out.
Had turkey lunch was warm and great turkey. Sis had the burger "well done" and it was perfect.

We have breakfast here at 1030am. Maybe cause it was a later time our experience was not good. Our server came with drinks and 10 minutes later brought the check. When I said I had a tables in wonderland card replied "stick it in the bill and I will get to it". CM staff all standing in alclove staring at guest eating, while talking and laughing.
Had omlete chef would spoke very little english and did not get our order correct, when stated didn't want onion, and peppers > he said "next in line" and would not correct order.
Many items where almost empty on counter and not being refilled for people their at that time. Cleaning up area and room for lunch guest while people just came in to eat breakfast.

May 2, 2014 > may 14, 2014. 1 br villa.
We loved the room. Location on 5 th floor was wonderful. Very peaceful and quiet. Never heard anyone up there.
Room was serviced daily. No mousekeeping issues.
Loved the washer / dryer in unit. Loved the jetted tub after parks.
Got our room at 12pm and it was ready. View overlooked pool. Only negative was lights on building at night.
We could see magic kingdom higher fireworks from our room.
