When parks close buses can be very crowded with long waiting lines - always difficult. Especially after Iluminations or Fantasmic - but they had a lot of buses at EPCOT. Always love the boats - sometimes I think they are my favorite WDW "rides". It is frustrating when you see your bus leave seconds before you get to the stop.

Arrived MCO 9a. Arrive CBR 9:45. Luggage at our room noon. The DME baggage people at CBR were efficient and very helpful - check-in luggage at CBR and they printed boarding pass. New modern bus with large screen video and very clean. Nice CM driver. And not a one cent (well, we did give $7 in tips).

Please do not confuse this stellar review with my opinion of Fastpass+ - it stinks (see my review of FP+). But the app and webpage are great. Lots of info - including wait times. I had no problems with accessing MDE on my smartphone - well, a couple of times but generally always had a good connection. I changed my Fastpass+ selections several times - you only have poor choices anyway (don't get me started!).

Great convenience to enter your Resort room. No problems when entering the parks. Somewhat cool to wear - makes WDW even more special. But - and this is a big but - it's easy to lose track of your spending. Just see something you want or eat and instantly you have it - works real good. I was at CBR and a lady in front of me in line was proud how easily she completed her Magicband transaction, she said she had lots of practice - I said that's a bad thing - she didn't laugh. I bet I beat her by the end of our visit.

Garden Grocer is such a blessing during your WDW vacation. We stayed at All Star Music and ordered breakfast items, snacks, and beverages. Everything was delivered on time shortly after our arrival. The prices are only slightly higher than regular grocery store prices, and the convenience of this service makes the cost of items well worth it!! Ordering diapers and wipes before our trip and having them delivered was so much easier than trying to carry them on the plane. Fantastic service!!

Selection adequate and food is pretty good. Gets very crowded at peak meal times. Some tables outside. Right in the middle of the hotel so it is super convenient.

Maybe it was bad luck but the product was uncooked. The batter was still wet. I had the fish during another visit is 2012 and it was OK. Still the seating was too limited - we did find seating on the other side of the Rose and Crown - some may think it is part of the Restaurants seating area only. A private party (6p 2/25) made the situation worst - wish Disney would not do that.

We were seated on the 2nd floor terrace at a table by the window next to a prayer tree. Perfect location to watch the crowds as we waited for our food. Our server (Brad) was top-notch! ...efficient, knowledgeable and fun. But he was nothing compared to the food which was totally amazing. Order the crispy mahi mahi or the bbq ribs. Both were the best ever and the mango daiquiri was tasty and refreshing. Manager Rocco stopped by the table for a chat. Great food!! and a very welcoming atmosphere. Don't pass this one up!!

Third time at AKL. Usually stay @POFQ, but this was a special trip. Can't imagine staying anywhere else! Just walking into that lobby. Loved our rooms and paying extra for Arusha view was worth it! Unfortunately it rained everyday, but AKL helped. Only wish we had more time for the firepit. Back Dec. 2015.
