In 4 years, this was the first time we saw Cast Members with clipboards keeping tracking of bus schedules at the hotel during peak times. We even got a free Fast Pass of choice to park we were visiting because we waited more than 20 minutes for a bus. In the evening, especially after fireworks at Epcot and Magic Kingdom, it would be great if extra buses from parks that are closed (Animal Kingdom, Water Parks) could be sent to help. Lines are extremely long and buses are not as frequent as they should be during peak times at night when park closes.
Pros:
Convenient, and Disney is continually improving systemCons:

Our group of 4 Senior Citizen adults enjoyed the good, old fashion type meal. Every detail in Prime Time Cafe brought back memories. The younger generation and grandchildren would not be impressed.
We are planining to eat here again next year.

Upon arriving at Beach Club our 1st stop is Marketplace for sandwiches for lunch and to purchase a refillable mug.
The menu has a good variety of choices for meals. My favorite breakfast snack among the many choices is a chocolate croissant or a speciality muffin.
The merchandise section also has a very nice selection of Disney merchandise...
My husband is often first customer of day enjoying a full breakfast at one of the many tables and chairs surrounding the Marketplace.

Our favorite place to stay when going to Disney each year is the Beach Club Villas. Everything about the Beach Club makes for a perfect memorable vacation. The location could not be better in particular for proximity to Epcot and Hollywood Studios.
We are Vacation Club members so have many choices of where to stay. The cast members are readily availble for assistance or repairs if needed ..
We stayed at Beach Club in April and already have reservations for 2014.

Good food choices. Nice condiment bar. Only complaint - lots of messy tables and lack of workers cleaning them up. For the price you pay to stay @ AK, should never have to wipe down your own table. Close to the pool area and the main lobby which is a plus.
Pros:

As vacation club members, we have taken this bus numerous times. Considering the high volume of guests they transport, I think they do a fantastic job & you don't pay extra for it. Key reason for staying on Disney property. More people need to tip these drivers - they work for surprisingly lower wages, under a lot of stress, not to mention have to put up with a lot of "cranky" travelers.
Pros:
timely - well organizedCons:

Go here strictly for the sake of your children getting photos with Pooh & gang - if you have older children or are childless - would recommend going elsewhere.
Pros:
characters stop @ each table for photosCons:

If you have the money and want to indulge in a little food luxury, this is your best plan. Does provide you with a lot of food. Felt like we wasted a lot of food (especially desserts -were just too full). Liked having appetizers. Cost effective - we would have spent way more money eating like this if paying cash.
Pros:
a nice luxury - money saverCons:
too much food -Review of Kona Cafe Lunch/Dinner

Was impressed by the food here. Restaurant is open smack in the middle of the hotel, can be loud. Tables are crammed in there too close together. Would go back again, but try to time it for mid-afternoon when a little less crowded.
