Had a King room. Very roomy. Loved having 2 sinks. There are so many trees that it gave a feeling of privacy between buildings. Loved the river/water feature. Had difficulty getting a bus at closing time from Magic Kingdom. This line took up 2 waiting spaces there were so many people waiting and it took quite a while to get through.
Pros:
Privacy, settingCons:

We did brunch. The decor and view are wonderful. The food is incredible and the service fantastic. Had the prosecco which was very nice. Loved the lasagne and smoked salmon. We liked everything we tried. Definitely a special experience.

This was our favorite of the three dinner restaurants. There was so much to look at, so many details. It was interactive and the screens changed so it was a progressive experience.
Pros:
So much to see; different experience with each sittingCons:

Full Day Caribbean Sail & Snorkel to Turtle Cove & Honeymoon Beach
Fantastic! Very fun crew. Our snorkel guide took us around the cove, pointing out sea creatures and giving information. We saw turtles, rays, parrot & many other fish. Then we sailed over to Honeymoon Beach. Relaxing beach, good swimming area.
Pros:
Beautiful areaCons:

French Riviera Beach Rendezvous
Lovely beach, nice water, but no fish or anything to see. Good with small kids, a bit boring for older kids. There are some rentals available. There were some locals walking back and forth trying to sell items, but it wasn't overwhelming. Very hot unless you spend the extra $3 for umbrella. Lunch was great. We had grilled chicken. Large portions.
Pros:
Food, water, beachCons:

Ate here for the first time this trip, Aug 29, 2013. We loved the theming, drive in cars with the old movie playing, very cute! I typically don't have a problem with the prices of food at Disney b/c everything is pricy (and worth it to me), but this restaurant I found to be quite outrageous. We also paid out of pocket for DDP this trip, so we paid attention more to pricing to see if we got a good value. I had the pasta for $24, if I would have paid $12 at home I would have thought it was way too much. It was just pasta with chicken nothing fancy, not even a piece of bread! My husband had the steak and loved it- esp the blue cheese butter. Shakes and deserts were good. Overall, I'd eat here again but only with free DDP.

We dined here for a third time this trip Sept 3, 2013. We have had wonderful food and service each and every time. The food is fresh and amazing here, we enjoy the bread, salad, all three meats and desert. The characters are fun and our son loves to look down at The Land ride while we rotate. Highly recommended!
Pros:
Fabulous food, great characters and atmosphereCons:

Ate here for the first time on Sept 1, 2013 using the Fantasmic Package. We found this to be a great value b/c an appetizer for each adult was included with the package- something the dining plan does not offer at any other restaurant and because we paid out of pocket for the DDP this trip, we were looking for value. We had the calamari for appetizer- the best calamari we ever had! I had the chix parm and my husband had the pasta dish with all the seafood, they were both wonderful. One of our fav meals this trip.
Pros:
Great food, fun atmosphere, Fantasmic packageCons:

We stayed two nights 9/2-9/4 after a 6 night stay at AKL Kidani. I have always longed to stay at Beach Club, so I was very excited to have the opportunity to do so on this trip. I love all things Disney, but I have to admit that we probably will not stay at BC again mostly because it didn't have the Disney feel- this is not something I can explain well- but those of you who get "the Disney feel" will understand what I'm saying. There wasn't anything bad about the resort, other than the dirty hallway carpet and lame quick service spot (mentioned in many other reviews), I just didn't feel the way I have felt everywhere else I've stayed (AKL, CB, Port Orleans FQ).
However, I do not let anything at Disney disappoint me, so I must tell you what I found to be awesome about this resort: proximity to Epcot and Stormalong Bay Pool. There is nothing better than walking from your resort room to Epcot World Showcase in 10 min! Also, the pool was absolutely amazing; the sand bottom and play areas as well as the slide. We did find it frustrating that the pool closed when lifeguards are not on duty: 10pm-10am making it difficult to fully enjoy (no early morning or evening swims) because we also wanted to spend our last two days fully enjoying the parks!
Pros:
Proximity to Epcot, Stormalong Bay PoolCons:

Just got back on Sept 28th. This was our second time at Cape May. We go there for the crab legs. If you don't like seafood, this is not the buffet for you. I do feel like it wasn't as good as the first time, but it was still ok. I would go back because of the crab legs. I will say we got our moneys worth. Even the waitress commented and laughed with us about it. She had to keep emptying my husbands crab bucket. If you want to pig out on seafood, this is the place. I do have to say the chowder was to die for.!!!! I had almost 3 bowls. It is expensive, but ok if on dining plan. Rest of food ok.....typical for buffet food. Service was pretty good.
