We are seasoned DVC members and this was our first stay at this resort. We were promptly greeted upon arrival and check in was quick and easy. The room was nice and one of the cleanest I have seen in recent trips. Unfortunately the foyer toilet would not flush, but it was fixed promptly. Rooms are showing wear and tear. The blind on the door to the balcony was severely torn and the wooden chair gouged. We had no difficulty using the monorail or walking to MK. For other resorts we drove. View of fireworks from front of resort was very good. We didn't even try to go to the observation deck. Pool was a little small and crowded. Glad we tried it but we prefer other DVC resorts. This is a very good place to stay if you want to spend most of your time in MK.
Pros:
Proximity to MKCons:

We used to always eat here before the Princess meals as we loved the food. So we finally decided to eat here again even with the Princess format and even though we have no children. The Princesses came to our table and interacted with us very much in character referring to my husband as my "Prince Charming." It was an enjoyable dinner with good food and service. The picture that they take with Belle when you enter even turned out nicely.
Pros:
Food, service, PrincessesCons:

We decided to try lunch here as we had a very late dining reservation for dinner. We were a part of 2 seated in the last row of a car which already had a family of 4 seated. Our server greeted us as "hitch hikers" which was a nice touch. We decided to order a Caesar salad (to share) and sandwiches. My husband had the pastrami and I ordered the salmon BLT. Food was very good and the serving sizes were enormous. We love that it is actually quiet in this restaurant. The theming is nicely done.

We had a reservation and had only a short wait before being seated. The setting is beautiful. We were seated at a table for 2 in the Ballroom. Our server was fine, not too rushed, not too slow. The food was good- we had pork chop and salmon with passion fruit pastry for dessert. Tables were close together but no worse than other restaurants including some signature dining spots. It was loud due to high ceiling and large number of guests. It felt like being in a dining hall. I am glad we ate here and saw it, but we both agree that we don't want to eat here again.
Pros:
Theming, a beautiful restaruant to seeCons:

Stopped in without a reservation for lunch on the drive from Disney's Vero Beach Resort to WDW. We were seated immediately. We have always had good meals here and did again this time. I had the Tomato Salad and my husband had the Three Salads special. Our waitress was exceptional.

We decided to have a quick lunch here after a morning tour at the Animal Kingdom. We had the Mara Chicken Salad and the Veggie Flatbread. Both were very good. We also had the Zebra Domes for dessert. Love the fact that you can get them to go here.

Had a great dinner here in June. Flavors were well developed in both of our dishes. Service was nicely done. Restaurant was not crowded and tables are well spaced.

Had breakfast buffet and loved it. The buffet is smaller than others at WDW, but the food was great. Loved country version of Eggs Benedict with pulled pork. Friendly waiter and no wait to be seated.

Once again, one of our favorite CS meals. The fried shrimp plate is excellent. Lots of sweet and perfectly cooked shrimp with super fresh cole slaw and crispy fries. The fried fish/chicken combo is excellent. The apple pie tart is one of our favorite QS desserts in the World. This is consistently one of our *must do* lunches in the World.
