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.

Have ate at almost every restaurant on Disney property and was pleasantly surprised by this place - good food & service - will go back again (better meal here than @ California Grill) Never too crowed or a long wait

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.

Location is nice being high up with view and all, but food was average - didn't really feel it was worth extra dining plan points - wouldn't go back again on dining plan or as a paying customer - have been to a lot of fine dining restaurants & this one is simply over-rated - have ate at many other restaurant on Disney property that are better than this

—Review of 1900 Park Fare Character Dinner

I use to be a huge fan of the similar production at the castle, at which time included the Fairy Godmother so I was eager and anxious to visit 1900 Park Fare. My experience fell well short of my expectations. We had prepared, we all had crowns and sashes my daughter was dressed as Cinderella and yet we were clearly a place to stop and take photos for these characters, they had very little personality! My favorites were the step sisters, yet they were very sweet rather then playing their role! We simply will not retrun! No complaints on the food, good buffet however much more ambitious cast members in other locations.

One of Disney's better buffets - would recommend eating here, but only if on dining plan - not worth the price your would pay if not on dining plan - go around 4:00 or so for dinner to avoid large crowds

We have stayed at this resort several times and never tried Boma. Typically it was choosy eaters in our group that led us the decision to abort our reservations however this time I drug everyone in and everyone had an awesome time. The choices include African flair and other options as well. The fruit section and hummus were excellent, my daughter was thrilled with the mac n cheese. All of us loved the corn pudding and sweet potatoes. This is a Must-Do going forward even when we are not at the lodge!

Have ate here on a few occasions - Food was good, as was entertainment. They were accommodating in substituting a few food allergy items and both times the wait time to dine was relatively fast. Enjoyable with or without taking children - highly recommend (one tip - ask not to be seated right in the middle of the restaurant or will you be smack in the middle of the entertainment festivities~ which can be somewhat suffocating & slow down your table service.
Pros:
entertaining - good foodCons:

This was my second time at tea, and I still love it, and find great value in it. I did not give it an excellent because I still think there is some confusion that comes along with the tea if your server doesn't work to sort and make things clear. We opted for three different tea menus, and we did not understand that one had two courses, one three and the other four, so when my friend received her second course we sat and sat until the server asked why she wasn't eating then explained she was the only one with that course, which was fine I wish he would have better explained. Also, make sure to ask about the sandwich selections and substitute where you find necessary.
