This was the first time I have ever been to WDW where we were disappointed in a restaurant. I made reservations for 8pm. We arrived at 7:30 told to come back at 7:50 to check in which we did. We were not seated until after 8:40pm. We missed the last show, the only reason we made reservations here in the first place.
The food was good and waiter was nice. I wish I would have know to make earlier reservations so as not to miss the show.
I hope this helps someone.

This was the very first time as a DVC member. My husband, four teenaged daughters and I stayed in a Two bedroom pool view room 8-17-8-24. I loved the full kitchen and laundry. The rooms were huge. There was plenty of room for all of us. I read a great deal about how long the hallways were in Boardwalk. I noticed but it didn't seem to bother any of us. Room was clean and well kept. No issues with any part of the stay in the afternoons the pool would be loud but never in the morning or night. I would recommend this place to anyone.

The French onion soup here is awesome! I liked it much better than the lobster bisque. I like that they offer options that you can choose to get an appetizer for free with the dining plan. The short ribs had really good flavor and were very tender. There was a lot of fat, but I just took it off. The chicken and veggies was good too. My husband was not crazy about the sauce on his scallops. Strawberry cake dessert is really good. The sorbets were not my favorite, but the huge fresh fruit on it was delicious. I would go back, but I don't think my husband agrees.
Pros:
Nice atmosphere and good food and dessertsCons:

This was a refreshing change of pace from all the hamburger quick service meals. There is a vegetable sandwich that is really good and at least makes you feel like you are eating healthier. My husband said it reminded him of eating a supreme pizza without the meats. The salad is also really good. There is a separate counter for some alcoholic drink options that I was wishing I would have tried. I will go back here, so maybe next time.
Pros:
Good and Different food optionsCons:

Sept. 2013 was our first time trying RFC. I was really surprised at how good the food was! There is a new open face lasagna with chicken that is not on the menu yet - it is awesome! My family was able to find something for all of our tastes. You can get the smoothies as your beverage with the dining plan and they are really good, like a dessert in themselves. Speaking of the desserts, there is a volcano dessert - chocolate cake and ice cream. It is huge and good. You have to use 3 adult dessert entitlements to get it, but it would feed way more than 3 people! There is also a great mango sorbet with delicious pieces of fresh mango on top. The gift shop is cool. The noise was loud at times, but it wasn't too distracting from the good food. We would definitely go back.
Pros:
Good food/lots of variety/Great smoothies and dessertsCons:

Sept. 2013 was our fourth time staying at CBR. We love this resort! It is nice to actually have a resort that you can relax a little bit at. Love the hammocks and beaches! The pool is awesome, but it is aggravating that the slides close so early (you won't make it if you stay til park closing). The surroundings are so beautiful and serene, but hard to remember your way around sometimes. The bus stops at every island in the resort, so this is a nuisance at times. Having a separate location for check-in and guest services (the Custom House) can be time consuming too. Over all we highly recommend this resort. The good definitely outweighs the bad. There are even fans in the rooms. And with the free dining plan (instead of free quick service dining) it really helps to make up for the additional cost of staying in a moderate resort.
Pros:
Beautiful/Quiet for a Disney resort/Shaded bus areasCons:

We arrived at the restaurant with my two year old grandson in a total meltdown having been asleep in his stroller. The staff allowed us to be seated straight away and come back later for the picture with Belle. Wait staff could not have been nicer. As soon as the first Princess, Sleeping Beauty, appeared he stopped crying and couldn't wait for the other Princesses to appear.
The Princesses each spent a long time at our table and then returned to dance with the children in contrast to a lot of the character meals where the characters rush through. Both grandsons, 2 and 3, loved the experience and we will definitely go back next time we visited.
After our meal, we went back to have a photo made with Belle and again she spent a long time with the boys. Everyone was friendly and concerned about my grandson until he started to enjoy himself. A great experience all round.
Pros:
Terrific service. Attitude of staff.Cons:
Tables very close together, difficult to move around.Reviewed by StacyLovesDisney Review Date: 10/02/2013

I have been to Pizza Planet before, but this time with my 4 year old who has food allergies. I requested a pizza with just sauce. The manager told me since they share a kitchen with Mama Melrose they could put dairy free cheese on his pizza. Also, they gave him an allergy free cookie for dessert. This was his first pizza with "cheese." He was so excited to eat what the rest of us were eating. Also, the adult meals come with a Caesar side salad. The dressing is not too think or heavy. My daughter loves the option of the Power Pack lunch box. We ate upstairs away from the arcade and watched the fountain in front of Muppets 3-D. It was a lovely lunch!
Pros:
pizza, kid's menu, upstairs seating, food allergy friendlyCons:

Each year I eat here just because of convenience to the area we are near. This year I got the grilled chicken sandwich. Once again my meal was so overcooked or had been sitting for a long time that it was dry and chewy. My daughter got the chicken noodle soup with mickey shaped noodles. She loved that. The cucumber salad is delicious, though you get a small portion. Be prepared if you have a large party. Our party of 5 was squished around a round table because all of the booth tables were already taken.

I would say this is a home run if the tickets weren't so so so expensive! We came home with so much candy it was ridiculous! My kids weren't interested in characters, so I have no idea how that aspect is, but we did go to one of the dance parties and it was really neat. I really loved the
Boo to You parade and Hallowishes. They were definitely unique and worthwhile. There were absolutely no lines for rides, which was great. All in all, if you've never done it I think it is great, but I wouldn't say that I would do it twice.
