WOW is all I can say. We stayed 1 night in a studio and 4 nights in a 1 bedroom. This place is amazing. I have always wanted to stay at Grand Floridian but could never afford it. We are DVC members and stayed on points in low season and it was so worth the extra points. The rooms are great. My 6 year old son loved the pull down bed in the tv and also loved the built in tv in the bathroom mirror. The feature pool with waterslide is right by the villas and it is great. They also have a play area with small slides. My only complaint is there is no hot tub at the feature pool and you have to walk across the resort to the other pool to get in the hot tub. It is a pretty long walk back when you are wet and it is cold outside. We really could have just stayed at the resort the whole time. The studio had plenty of room for 3, but the 1 bedroom was awesome. We loved having the extra space.

We had ADr and were seated right away. new renovation was really nice. Seated right by the window and had a great view of the fireworks. It was amazing. The food is awesome. It was me, husband and 6 year old son. The children's menu really did not have anything a 6 year old would like and he did not eat. I would not go back and take a child. This is a very nice upscale restaurant and if you want a nice dinner with no kids, this is the place to go.

We had ADR and waited about 20 minutes. It was very crowded but not to bad of a wait. They take your picture as you enter and it was very cute. The food is really good. It is not a buffet, but they will bring you all you can eat. The juice is so good. The characters are great. We were not rushed at all. Got pictures with my son and then some with us also. It was Lilo, Stitch, Mickey and Pluto.

We had ADR and waited about 15 minutes. The characters are great but the food is awful. Not worth the money you pay. We were on the dining plan, but if I had paid cash for this meal I would have been upset. If you want great characters and great food, go to Ohana character breakfast. It is so much better than this one.

Excellent view of the water. Food was excellent especially the lamb burger. Enjoyed a bottle of wine so that is why the price is a little high. My husband wore his college shirt written in Arabic and our waiter made sure all staff members came by to see it!! Not very crowded so it was a quiet spot and we weren't rushed during our meal.

We took this tour on Wednesday, February 12, 2014. It was great!! The tour focuses on Walt Disney’s involvement with the parks and various rides. The best part of the tour was the behind the scenes look at the inner workings of the Haunted Mansion. We saw how the ghosts are made to appear in the dining room scene!! It was the highlight of our entire trip to WDW.

We ate at Cape May Café on Tuesday, February 11, 2014. Our ADR were at 6:50pm; we arrived at 6:54pm and had to wait about four minutes before we were seated. All three of us got the buffet (me, wife and 14yo daughter). On the buffett were peel and eat shrimp, steamed mussels, steamed clams, herb crusted salmon, and roast beef. There were also several sides such as mac & cheese, mashed potatoes and various breads.
The shrimp were just OK, no real flavor, but they were tender. The clams and mussels were good. They had some flavor and were very tender – not overly cooked. The roast beef was not tender at all and had no flavor – but this is a sea food buffet, not a steak house. The salmon was the best thing on the buffet. It was very good with lots of flavor and was moist and tender. I went back for seconds it was so good.
Our bill, for three adult buffets, and three sodas with tip came to $141!! What we had was not worth half that amount. My wife and I have decided that we’ll never come back to Cape May Café as the food quality does not justify the price.

We ate at Be Our Guest, February 12, 2014. We arrived at 11:30am and had to wait about forty minutes before we ordered our food and were seated. All three of us (me, wife and 14yo daughter) got something different.
I got the Braised Pork meal, my wife got the French Onion soup and a Steak Sandwich, while my daughter got the Turkey Sandwich. My pork dish was excellent; the pork was pure meat, no fatty clumps at all, and was very flavorful. My wife’s soup was very good as was her sandwich. My daughter liked her turkey sandwich, but could not eat it all as it was rather large. Both my daughter and wife tried my Braised Pork and said they’d order it the next time we come to Be Our Guest.
We’d definitely come back and can’t wait too. The food was very good and Be Our Guest is one of the best themed restaurants in all of WDW.

My wife, 14yo daughter and I ate lunch at the Brown Derby on Thursday, February 13, 2014. We had reservations for three at 2PM. We arrived at 1:50pm and were seated after about a five minute wait in a large round booth. Our server was good and attentive throughout our meal.
Al of us got the lobster bisque as our appetizer. The soup was very good and we all loved it. I got an Andouille crusted chicken sandwich which was very spicy – more than I’m use to eating and I did not enjoy it. The bacon served on my sandwich was flavorless and paper thin. My wife had a second appetizer as her main course – the Andouille crusted prawn over grits. She said it was just OK and did not finish her meal. My daughter had the lump crab spring rolls – which she liked and finished.
For dessert we had a trio of mini desserts. Our trio included two crème brulees and a chocolate truffle cake. The crème brulee’ was nearly flavorless – I’ve had better from a mix from the super market. My daughter said the cake was bitter and did not finish it.
Overall, our bill for lunch, with tip, was $101 – we had sodas and water, no alcohol. This was way over priced for what we got and the quality of the food. We will never return.

My wife and I ate breakfast here on Valentine’s Day. We had a reservation for 8AM and were seated upon are arrival. We both had the buffet. Our waiter was very good and attentive through our meal. The buffet had real scrambled eggs, bacon, potatoes, various pancakes and waffles. The bacon was very thin, but very tasty. We enjoyed our meal and would come back.
