Did the Fantasmic Lunch package on 2/2/16. Each person gets choice of appetizer, entree, and a non-alcoholic drink. Also get a dessert sampler for each person. Service was good. I felt food quality was better than expected. I was expecting "Olive Garden" esque, but this was much better. I had Caesar salad for appetizer and Chicken Parmigiana for entree. Wife had Fresh Mozzarella and Tomatoes for app, Saltimbocca for entree. Dessert was small (a couple bites) serving of Amarettini Cheesecake, Tiramisu, and Cannoli cake. Was very full afterwards and didn't need to eat the rest of the day...
Fantasmic portion worked well. There is a specific area in the front center of the arena for the lunch/dinner package folks. We arrived 10-15 minutes prior to show, found seats, but probably should have been there a bit earlier to avoid some of the rush. Still better than lining up an hour or more early. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and the Fantasmic package, especially if you have kids that can't handle waiting very long!

The Kidani Village Villas were very well maintained, the staff was friendly and very helpful. The biggest drawback to this resort is the lack of counter service like what is available at other deluxe Disney resorts. In order to get a counter service meal, you have to take a bus or shuttle to Jambo house. Be prepared to walk quite a distance to get to your room. Because of a mobility issue I requested in advance, for a location close to the bus transportation. Suffice it to say, the walk was nowhere near transportation. The setting was wonderful, but in the future I'll stay at Wilderness Lodge or Beach Club.
Pros:
Awesome SurroundingsCons:

Stayed 1/30/16 through 2/6/16. Have stayed in the past - about 7 years ago. Very nice property. Bus service to/from parks excellent. Only twice did we share buses with Port Orleans Riverside - and French Quarter was picked up and dropped off first. This was about the same as 7 years ago. In general, a quiet hotel. Food at food court was good, and didn't seem as busy as when we stayed at Pop Century (granted that was 9 years ago!). Boat service to Disney Springs is nice. Appears they are currently working on improvements to pool area (kid's play zone). Would definitely stay again!

We love the food (fried chicken and pot roast especially) - waitresses are a ton of fun. We were there the night before my birthday and got quite a serenade! We were seated at a table with a small partition between the door and it was COLD outside, therefore cold at our table.

Fun environment, great foodCons:

Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn and Cafe --- Magic Kingdom Disney World
We haven't eaten at Pecos Bill Cafe in several months. They used to offer a Gulten Free bun with their burgers and other gluten free sides. This is no longer the case. When so many of the Disney restaurants are becominig so aware and making great strides in their gluten free choices, Pecos Bill took 3 steps backward. The ONLY thing offered as an Entree was a gluten free steak rice bowl , a chicken salad and loaded nachos. Who would risk the chance that their corn chips are not fried in the same oil as other gluten type items. They NO LONGER offer the gluten free roll, no more apple slices. What is wrong with the management of this Cafe? Our friends each had the burger that looked good enough. If they still offered the Gluten Free roll we would have had the same. But, just as well we didn't because they complained about the burgers being cold. When you spend $40.00 for 2 burgers and 2 sodas the burger should at least be at room temperature. Pecos Bill Lassoed us for the last time.

We tried the Boerewors sausage and Chicken Tikka Masala with the Milk Tart for dessert. Everything was delicious. But seating is very limited for the crowds and the ordering system was terrible. Only 1 window to order ribs, 2 for the other food. No one seemed to know what to order and every person who walked up to the window had many questions even though there were cast members available to answer questions. Waited on line over 25 minutes to place the order although the food was ready about a minute later. Definitely need more stations to place orders and more seating. If it is not too crowded the food is wonderful!

Our group of 3 stayed here 1/24-29. Our check in was quick. Love the play area for the kiddos in the lobby. Our room was in the 50's section. The only con for us was one bed in our room was horrible. The springs were shot. Literally every time you moved it sounded like it was going to fall apart and it was soooooo uncomfortable. Other than that no complaints.
We ate at the food court several times for dinner. My daughter loved the pizza. Once I had the sesame chicken, it was just okay. We love being able to get ice cream cones there. We came back one afternoon for a treat and we had the place to ourselves. Nice treat.
We thought that the buses were great. One morning the line to Magic Kingdom was all the way to the lobby. We were on the fifth bus and we only waited about 20 minutes. Other than that we didn't ever wait more than 10 minutes to or from POP.
Make sure to check out the store. I love shopping here. I always check out the store before heading to the parks. A lot of times you can find the same merchandise right there at the resort. Big time saver.
If you had any free time take a walk over to the art of animation. It is worth it.
All in all we love the POP resort. This was our third time staying here and it is still our favorite. Great for those on a budget or looking to save some money.

We were really looking forward to this one. This restaurant is relying too heavily on the theme and fun of the movie trailers.
My French toast was tasteless and had 2 piece of strawberry on it. Everyone in our party of 10 that ate the steak and eggs said it was very good. Everyone else went "meh". This is pretty pricey even with the amount of food you get.
We ate dinner here years ago and found the food to be on par with the counter service choices.
They need a serious kitchen and menu overhaul. If they did that, this could be a hugely successful restaurant.

Impeccable as always. I'm not sure how they manage to get better every single time we visit! this rating would go to 11!
Our party of 10 ordered a lot of food back in December 2015. Everything was marvelous. Besides amazing steaks (and I live in cattle country), the sides, sauces, and desserts are crazy good too. The service is always outstanding, as is the wine list. Scotch lovers will appreciate the scotch flight on the drink menu. It's the details that make this place truly special - simple things like warming the coffee cups before bringing them to your table with your French press pot of coffee and pouring tableside; roasted garlic served along with the butter and bread service; asking the parents how many refills to allow your kids who were treated to soda that evening. Superb.
Best yet, Tables in Wonderland is accepted here which makes it an amazing value. We love to splurge on a very nice evening here nearly every time we visit Disney.

Our group of 10 dined here for lunch back in December 2015. A great meal! The octopus appetizer was delicious. The less adventurous eaters (picky teenagers) in our group weren't too crazy about the menu. My steak was pretty good, but nothing to write home about. The turtle cheesecake is amazing. Especially the turtle presentation!
The service was nothing special, not bad, just there. Considering the prices here, it would be nice to have a bit more in that regard.
