Food was just average - should have saved dining credits & ate somewhere better - somewhat fun to watch kids having fun, but very obnoxious to dine here as a childless couple - waitress did not take social cues from us to back off with dramatic antics - super crowded restaurant - VERY LOUD

OF all the eatery choices in the Animal Kingdom this by far is my favorite! The food quality is fantastic and the seating feels quaint even though there are many pavillions to choose from. This last rip we did experience an abundant number of flies, however that occurred at multiple places on property not just the FlameTree.

While I agree with a previous post it gets a little redundant the bottom line for me is the festival is free and I would much rather be in EPCOT during the flower festival then any other time of year. I thought the displays this May were the most stunning I have seen, and I love all the developed ideas for little ones! Keep up the great work!

Food was good, but portions were too small! We were still hungry after shortly after we left. Only saw one animal as we were dining. Nicely themed & decorated, but would not go back again.

tastefully theme decorCons:

I think almost all reviews agree there is a sense of dependability and ease with this service. For those who travel to Disney often, I love that you can create favorites and don't need to reinvent the wheel, or in this case grocery list time and time again!

Ease of useCons:

We used both this club and the AKL club during our last visit. The staff here was amazing, they took our daughter right in, when we picked her up she had a blanket, pillow and movie going at 8:30, wish I could have hired them to put her to bed as well. My only constructive criticism is that this club has few windows and seems somehwat dark, however for older children I am certain this is great since there is such a large video game collection! We will continue to use the clubs for the value in the future!
Pros:
Great valueCons:

Our First day at Disney was a monsoon, and we had no plans for going to a park, so in an effort to salvage the day for my three year old I called the kids club. They were very welcoming, the space is bright and had lots of activities, also it gave her a place to play with and meet new friends. At $11.50 per hour, minimum two hours and dinner included this is a bargain, we pay our babysitter here in CT more! The only negative was every day thereafter when we passed the club my daughter wanted to go in!

—Review of Grand Floridian Resort (Deluxe Resort)

Having stayed @ almost all of the Disney resorts, the Grand Floridian is by far the crème de la crème of Disney properties. The location to the Magic Kingdom & the monorail is an asset. The lobby is grand & relaxing to sit and listen to the piano players & orchestra. All of the staff are courteous & professional. Upon our last stay, the only disappointment was the lack of cleanliness detail to the room. We were surprised to discover this. The balcony had beer caps on the ground from previous guests. In addition, a child's ponytail holder from a previous guest was found on the floor and a purchase sticker from Best Buy was found stuck to the nightstand. Clearly housekeeping did not carefully take their time when cleaning the room. We didn't complain to management, but in retrospect, we should have. The food court needs to get rid of the arcade games which are loud and distracting. They need to take these out and provide more seating for guest. Despite these few floors, we love the Floridian & will return.

This was our 1st stay for 8 people-3 rooms. I registered on line; arrived about noon & 2 out of 3 rooms were ready! Stayed in Martinique-preferred rooms. We were close to everything and the buses were great! We never waited more than 5 minutes. I thought the pool was great for all kids. They had afternoon activities. We loved just coming back in the evening and sitting out by the water & discussing our day. Food court was adequate and good. I would stay here again.
Pros:
beautiful landscaping, good pool for families, food court was goodCons:

Ate here on 6/11. Characters were very interactive with the kiddos. At at 8:00 a.m. dining reservation. Service was great and quick. Asked for our ticket quick shortly after we sat down, so we could quickly pay to go get in line for Jedi Training Academy. Waiteress assured us she would get all characters over for us to meet before we left. Loved all the food offered on the buffet. It was fresh. One of our favorite character dinings and one many often forget about.
