Nice location, good in price, free refills if you purchase a $15 resort mug. Inside and outside sitting options. The only negative is same food selection everyday. 🙁
Pros:
Food, location, friendly serviceCons:

Staying at the resort was very convenient...no need to wait long due to reservations. The friendly service and food selection makes this one of our favorite places to eat at. The atmosphere and authenticity of the decorations is amazing! There is live music on some mornings, makes it that much more fun.
Pros:
Food selection, friendly service, no waitCons:

We always attend the last show and we are never disappointed. The story line is awesome with funny characters excited to entertain you and make you a part of their story (spoiler alert). 😀 The food is always delicious, except the ribs were a bit over cooked this time. Due to the down pour there was no real area to wait in. :/ I didn't mention this in my other reviews but we have a 5month old and everywhere we ate at they allowed us to bring in our stroller so we had free hands to enjoy our meals and a place for the little one to take his naps. They really go out of their way to accommodate you the best way possible.
Pros:
Characters, food, friendly serviceCons:

Our family of 8 stayed at Jambo House 8/3/13-8/10/13. In a 2 bedroom villa with the view of the Savannah. Amazing room space for all, very comfortable. Great views of the animals. Great service, convenience of restaurants and store with-in the resort. We had a full size kitchen equipped with cookware. We actually had a friend bring us our groceries from the super Wal-Mart. Saved some money then shopping at the resorts marketplace. Enjoyed the pool area with the family. Movie nights were great by the pool. Kids really enjoyed themselves. The only negative was being so far from some theme parks and having to get into already very packed buses. Not everyone is willing to give up their seats for a mom holding their 5 month old baby.
Pros:
Atmosphere, Room view, ServiceCons:

We absolutely love French Quarter. I'm a jazz and blues fan and DW loves beignets. The boat to downtown is a wonderful ride. We take the bus from AK to downtown because they close early and take the boat. Everything is close there. Love it.
Pros:
Five minutes to anything in resortCons:

We got the dining plan for free in 2010. We had to make reservations months in advance to get a sit down restaurant every day of our trip. Then we had to be in the park where that reservation was every day. We used park hopper on two days to make meals. The amount of planning was nuts and I'm a disney planning nut. You must make the reservations well in advance because when they give out the dinning plan for free the table service reservations are used up by people that would otherwise go to counter service meals more. Last trip we ate what we really wanted for our ten day trip plus ate at Biergarten, House of Blues and Rain Forest plus all the counter service we felt like when we wanted to. The bottom line was we beat the counter service dining plan price by $75 and ate at three table service restaurants. It's not a money saver unless you normally eat ALOT and don't eat appetizers and do eat dessert. I'm sure many people eat more that DW and I do, it's not a money saver. If you can afford it, it is a convenience at best. Disney is so good at making money that international companies pay them for business training. They are not putting out the dinning plan if they don't financially benefit from it.
