We chose the Contemporary for two reasons on our recent trip:
1. We had never stayed at the resort
2. It was $1200 cheaper than the club level at the Poly
Overall, this was a very nice experience and if you're like us (I'm pregnant and we took A LOT of breaks from the parks), then the cost is worth it. We also ate breakfast in the lounge every day and my husband LOVED the snacks. Also, being able to get water and bagged snacks to take into the parks was great for this preggo...I was ALWAYS hungry and thirsty! But if you're going commando at the parks, and just need a place to sleep, save your money.
Here are the reasons why I can't give this experience a 10:
1. It took 6 hours for our luggage to reach us, we nearly missed our ADR. Unacceptable.
2. We had two packages delivered, one from MK and one from DTD. Only the one from MK made it to our room, the other I had to retrieve from the gift shop after 2+ days. Unacceptable.
3. The noise from Chef Mickey's does make it all the way up to the 12th floor, so if you're a light sleeper, bring ear plugs.
Pros:
Views, food, helpful staffCons:

O'Hana has become one of our favorite dining destinations at Disney. We recently dined there on April 8, and had another great experience. We were surprised they changed a couple of small items since our visit last October, like the dressing and veggies, but still really enjoyed the food. I could live off the bread pudding alone! Our server was attentive and the food came out at a nice pace. The chicken was exceptionally good that night, and I think our party of three ate a couple of skewers of that alone. We already have reservations made for our next visit in October. Now if only I could figure out how to have them ship the bread pudding to me between visits!

Our first experience at Trails End was in 2007 and we were not impressed. We decided to give it a try again and were pleasantly surprised. The service with drink refills was excellent the food was great with plenty to chose from. The fried chicken was amazing and so were the deserts. We will not hesitate to go back.

Excelent selection and quality of foodCons:

We stay at the Cabins at Fort Wilderness and order everthing from water to take into the park, breakfast food, snack and light meals to make when we get home from the parks late. My order is always in the cabin when we get there and anything that needs to be refridgerated or frozen is put away for me. Love it.

Ate there May 1 for lunch. Our favorite place. They also have outdoor seating by the Rose and Crown. I would have rated this place a 10, but the portion size has become tiny. They used to give you two huge pieces of fish, I was "lucky" to get two small pieces that might have equaled one of the older pieces, my son and daughter's portions were not much bigger.

There was a long line, but the wait was not long.
The menu is very good, but I wish there would have been a lighter offering (like a half sandwich) to go with the soup. My son and daughter both ordered the Crogue Monsieur, my wife the Tuna Nicoise and I had the Braised Pork, the kids had cupcakes for desert. The food was excellent, everyone was well pleased. It did not take much longer than a regular counter service meal, and is worth it for the decour. A disney world must.

This was our fourth stay in a cabin at Fort Wilderness since 2007. We stayed nine nights in April. We love the cabins and the awesome feel of the campground. We highly recommend splurging on a golf cart which gives you much more flexibility.
Pros:
Quiet relaxing place to stay. Plenty of room for a family of six.Cons:
We feel Disney transportation treats the campground like the "ugly stepsister" with fewer buses then to other resorts.Review of Sci-Fi Dine-in Theatre Lunch/Dinner

My family of 4 ate here for dinner on April 27th. We did not have ADRs and were initially excited that we were able to get a table fairly quickly as we had never eaten here in the past. The food was okay overall - my reuben was actually really good. The deal breaker for us was the slowness of service - for 2 sandwiches and 2 kids meals. After an hour, I took my kids back out to the park and left my husband to settle the bill. After another 20-30 minutes he was able to rejoin us. We had ADRs here for September but have now cancelled them.

Stayed 5/1 to 5/6. First trip to wdw in 18yrs. Location can not be beat if you are an epcot or hollywood studios fan. 10 min walk or ferry ride to epcot. 15 min ferry or 25 min walk to hollywood (do have little ones.) Best resort pool bar none. has a lazy river, shipwreked slide, section for pool sports, and a sand bar for the kids. so many quality choices for sit down dinners. cape may cafe. beaches and cream. compass and ale. yachtsman steakhouse,with epcot and the boardwalk options only minutes away. quickservice breakfast is limited. but sitting and eating in their solarium and garden areas are nice. the room was roomier than expected, and view of stormalong bay and boardwalk was awesome, as well as fireworks from hollywood studios. More than expected and would recommend to any one. It truly was magical.
