Stayed here in early January and could not have had a nicer experience. Staff is always friendly - Kim at Gasparilla Grill is wonderful! Minzer's Lounge is a great place to sit, listen to music and enjoy a glass of wine.
Pros:
Beautiful rooms - friendly staff -Cons:

Disney really messed up with Fast Pass Plus. Spent way too much money with something that does not event work. Now I understand layoffs are in order to help pay for this mistake, which will make park service even a worse experience.

Dec. 2013 - We had a 2 week stay with friends and family for the first 5 days in a 3 bed room. It was huge with 2 levels and plenty of space for 7 adults and 2 children. Very quiet rooms with no noise heard even with a new born baby staying.
Second week was a 2 bed room equally spacious and quiet. Views of animals spectacular. We were 5th floor and could also see Epcot fireworks every night in the distance.
Mousekeeping not so good as we found a drawer full of cups left by previous occupants in 1st room.
Overall, will definitely stay here again.
Pros:
huge rooms and balconies, animals,Cons:

My family and I just returned from a 4 night stay at POFQ and loved it. This was our first Disney Hotel experience. We normally stay off property or camp at Fort Wilderness. We took advantage of the early winter Florida Resident Discount and gave it a try. The room was just the right size for my family of 4 (DH, myself, DD7, DS3) Queen beds, in-room fridge, and double sinks. Disney really maximized storage with a hang-up bar, coat hooks and deep oversized drawers in the bureau. We chose this resort for the queen beds and compact size of the resort. The Food Court was an easy walk from our room even though we were in bldg. 7, farthest away. Bus stops were also just as close. We never waited more than 10 minutes for a bus and never had to pick up at PORS. Each park was only a 10 minute ride and the drop off at the front steps of MK couldn't be beat. Food court was sufficient for meals though if you wanted to eat at the resort often, you would get tired of the same items. Really disappointed with the beignets. We expected soft pillows of dough, instead we got tough, hollow squares. They were fresh and hot, we had to wait, but not what I expected. Overall I would stay here again in a second. This resort had it all, convenience, location, Disney magic and reasonable price.

My family's tradition is to eat here as our first WDW meal. This year we had a family group of 10, and the family style food was as delicious as ever. There is always plenty. My complaint is that I have always had a long wait to be seated, even with reservations, and there are not enough stalls in the restrooms.

My family group of 10 all enjoyed our meals, but be prepared to spend a long time there. The service is always very slow (this may be their trademark). In addition, it was a cold evening, and even with the ceiling heaters and after having them close the tarp, we were cold on the patio.
Pros:
good foodCons:
too cold for outside dining, slow serviceReviewed by pls Review Date: 01/23/2014

My family group of 10 really enjoyed this meal. It began with a buffet of appetizers, which could have been a meal in itself. Then our delicious entrees and desserts (shared plates) topped off a nice experience with the princesses, who were happy to interact with a group of all adults. I had dined here many years ago and I was not happy with the meal. I approached this meal with some fear, but I was really pleasantly surprised. The wait was a bit long for the 10 of us, even with reservations.
Pros:
good food, selection, and good princess interationCons:

My family group of 10 selected the all you care to eat buffet which is delivered to the table. We loved everything, and the waitress was fun to interact with. Not everyone enjoyed the noise level, but for most it was fun.

My family group of 10 all ate lunch here on 01/19/14, and we loved everything we ordered. The food was piping hot, and delicious! The outside dining could be difficult in bad weather, but our day was nice.
