My husband had the tacos here on Tuesday. He liked them better than the Mexican food we had at Tortilla Joe's!!!! The seating area is nice, with shade and good views. We enjoyed the strolling Mexican band.
I really liked the different choices available in the Wharf area. Everyone got what they wanted in the same area!!
Pros:
Great food, decent valueCons:

We only had soft serve ice cream here. It was wonderful!!! The different choices are cute in their presentation. The issue is not enough shade!!! It's all asphalt, which makes it feel even hotter than it already is!!
Pros:
Excellent soft serve, very cuteCons:

We ate here on our last morning, this past Weds. The food was really good with a large variety. Everyone was happy and full when we left!! The characters were very interactive with my kids, which was great!! My son had fun "surfing" with Stitch!!
I really thought the food was above average for a buffet. The only thing I didn't like was the scrambled eggs, which were a bit runny. There was a lot of fresh fruit that was very good!!! The service was excellent! Javier was our server, and he was very friendly and efficient.
All in all, we loved it!!!

We ate here last week. We had lunch there on our arrival day. It was 2pm, and we had been up since 315am, traveling form the East Coast. We just wanted food... The menu is very limited. I was perplexed by the fact that they asked if we wanted it there or to go, because we sat there and ate...but it was delivered to go in a shopping bag. My husband and I split the nachos which were ok at best. They came with chicken, which was in big pieces to the side. The kids had mozzarella sticks and wings. The mild wings were NOT mild!!!
Breakfast was better!! There are still few choices, but the food was much better. Seating is a big issue..not enough by far in the mornings!
I would recommend it as long as you know what you're getting into. It's quick and easy and better for breakfast.
Pros:
Quick and convenientCons:

We LOVED this!!! Just had dinner there last week. We were very pleasantly surprised by the variety of characters there!!! We had just seen the Aladdin show that afternoon, and my 9yo son had a lengthy conversation with Aladdin about it!! We didn't feel rushed and had a lot of time with each character!!
There was a great variety of old to choose. I found it pricey, but the character meals always are. I do find it frustrating to pay adult prices for my 11yo daughter who eats only the kid choices. Oh well...
The waitress was very nice and we got very good service! I would definitely recommend this place!!
Pros:
Great aridity if characters and foodCons:

We just stayed here this week for 7 nights and loved it!!! This was our first stay at DLR with the kids. The room was light and airy with a cute beach theme. Loved the beach ball pillows and lamp!! It was great having the fridge, but we could have used a bigger bathroom. I am used to staying in the DVC rooms with extra room...
The meals were good that we had there. We LOVED the Surfs Up character breakfast!!! The characters were great.
The only thing I didn't care for was the pool, although the kids loved it!!! I thought it was very small with few tables around it.
Pros:
Location, staffCons:

I've been visiting WDW since 1973 and this was my first visit to FW. I had no idea what a good time I was missing!
The show : my 6 year old DD , my wife who's second language is English and I all loved the cast and performance. The humor wasn't lost on anyone. We were all sad when the show ended.
The meal: the food, for what is was, was really good. Nothing fancy but they don't pretend it is. The beverages , including alcohol ( free beer,wine,sangria) are quickly refilled. I'm glad we took the boat home !
Some people say the show use to be better. I say it was highly entertaining and a great night out.

Delicious sundaes that are worth the cost. Worth a side trip to DD after dinner elsewhere just for the sundaes.
Pros:
Best Sundaes anywhereCons:

Overall a really good meal. We all left with happy tummy's. We ended up with 13 bottles of Ketchup on the table !
Our waitress was super friendly and a pleasure to interact with. Seems some of the CM's didn't belong in a place that advertises a "Hootin Hollerin Good Time".
Would definitely go again
Pros:
Great food, some fun cast membersCons:

Food is fine but needs more variety. It is real tricky to get beverages when it is busy. Not enough room to fix your coffee.
It should be double the size
Staff is very nice.
