Go here every time @ Epcot - great/reasonably priced pastries - lines get really long - best time to go is in afternoon before dinner rush - will box up pastries to eat later in the evening

Fun entertainment - food is good, but heavy - especially if walking around the parks a lot in the heat! Ate here years ago when it was not a buffet and liked it much better when you could order entrees off the menu~ not necessarily a big fan of sharing table with other families -

I was very much looking forward to this meal, and it was good, I just don't think our bill matched our meal. We are okay paying $40-$50 for our steaks but I believe it was our wine selection that may have derailed our experience. There is a section labeled zesty red or something to that effect but when trying to select our waiter had us choose a Zinfandel which typically we like zinfandels but this bottle, was eh, and of course sometimes you only need one catalyst to make everything eh. Will try Flying Fish next time we are in the area, and may follow someone else's suggestion of having a meal at the bar where you will be served some Yachtsman choices without the reservation etc.

My husband and I qualified for a May Birthday promotion they were running so we each did a parasailing trip. My three old daughter was able to come on the boat with us while each of us took our turn. It is amazingly quiet at 450+ feet, almost surreal. You can in fact see all four parks. Notes: 1.Like on FB this is where you can find some promotions 2.We bought the photo package however since we went one at a time our personal photos from the boat matched or surpassed that of the photographer 3.Consider taking a camera up with you, we were sorry we hadn't once you're up there, there is a lot of time and the photos would have been amazing. Please note you never enter the water during this experince which is nice, and they somewhat rush you but I felt as if that only stopped you from over thinking it and just doing it! You can simply walk here from the Magic Kingdom if the mood strikes you!

We were here for the Mother's Day brunch which was excellent and far surpassed the table in Wonderland experince we had in EPCOT a few years back. As noted on there regular menu the sweet potatoe pancakes and honey/pecan butter were divine! Will look forward to choosing this restaurant as a respit from the Magic Kingdom as it is a quick stroll away. Also, the coffee is organic and the have a nice beer selection download beers and ears to see.

Seriously for $5.99 the ham egg and cheese breakfast sandwich was huge and delicious! The sandwich made breakfast in the room feel silly. Never overly crowded when we were there, we were pleased with the food options and fixins.

—Review of IllumiNations Cruises (Now Closed)

In all fairness we took this cruise as part of my 40th Bday celebration so six members in my party had a lot of cocktails that day however, despite the cheer and the good time everyone had trying this new adventure it still fell short of expectations. Illuminations is my favorite Disney production and I feel like there are many better options for viewing then under the bridge in France, I don't think it's much different then standing on the bridge in France. We had a new Captain so that may have played into it, since he didn't truly sell the cruise, but for the price tag I would suggest you try the parasailing at the Contemporary, which was well worth the cost.

We had an undesirable table just as you came out the door upstairs this time and they quickly gave us the high top near the bar we asked for. My friend, husband and I truly enjoy this place. If you want to test the water, pop into the bar ask for a jalapeno infused margarita and order of crazy corn.
