Had dinner here on 12/26/12. Our server was friendly and very attentive although he did forget to enter an appetizer order. Next to the California Grill this was our favorite dinner of the week we had in Disney. The pork chop was cooked perfectly, the creole pasta with shrimp was very flavorful.

Had dinner here on Christmas (12/25/12) specifically to watch the fireworks. I love this restaurant. The sushi is absolutely wonderful with some unique rolls. We were finished with dinner about 90 minutes before the fireworks so we decided to take a ride over to the Grand Floridian; they allowed us to come back up to the roof to watch the fireworks, we just had to show our dinner receipt. My only complaint is that the kids menu is a little limited and when you have a picky eater in your group the lack certain items can cause some minor problems. That aside I would say this is a must if your budget or dining plan can cover it.
Pros:

—Review of Best Friends Pet Care

We used Best Friends Pet Care this past summer for the first time. Naturally we were a little hesitant because our Beagle is handicapped and only has three legs. We wanted to make sure she would be taken care of properly, but had nothing at all to worry about. The staff contacted us several times prior to checking in, as we had to be on a wait list for the type of kennel room that we wanted. When it became available, the cast member immediately contacted us to make sure we still wanted to put her in that type of room. She stayed in a Vacation Villa and we were very pleased with the cleanliness of the villa. We were pleased with how she was treated by the cast members, and even received a report card on how she did each day while boarding there. She enjoyed the outside dog park and walk, and we enjoyed being able to go over to see her whenever we wanted to. It is no problem to get into the area to see her, and cast members make sure that only those allowed to visit your dog are let into the area. All in all, our dog had a wonderful stay and we would definitely use Best Friends Pet Care again!
Pros:
close to most resorts, very clean, cast members friendlyCons:

My 5 year old granddaughter and I spent 5 magical days at PORS! Yes, it is a huge resort, but so beautiful! We had a royal guest room and it was perfect! Our mouse keeper was awesome and created magical characters everyday, but one!
We loved the food court and even had room service with pizza one evening. The pools were heated and so relaxing for both of us. One evening we returned from the magic kingdom and they were showing movies on the lawn! Everyone was wonderful. Only waited 10 minutes for the buses! This is a great resort and will stay there again and again!!'

We had eaten here our last time in the World and enjoyed it so we decided to give it another go. Had dinner here on 12/24/12. The endless milkshakes are great and we love the entertainment; yelling for ketchup, the pony races, watching someone get put in jail. However, I have to say that the food was only so-so. It's worth it if you have younger kids but as mine are now teenagers I should have chosen some place else for dinner

Ate here on New Years Eve and expected it to be packed--not so. The best thing we ordered was the cornbread. My husband had the shrimp and grits, which were very spicy, I had the chicken quesadilla (which had more mushrooms than chicken) and found it tastless. One son had the short ribs (tough) and my other son had the pork sliders which were pretty tastless. We expected at the very least having blues music playing, and would have loved a live blues magician...especially on new year's--we got neither. I felt like we were sitting in a Chili's chain restaurant. We really wanted to like this restaurant but won't return.

We are never disappointed by the food or the price. I had the Earl's club, my husband had the tuna melt, and my son had the meatball sub. Hot delicious subs everytime. They are able to efficiently move the line and we received our sandwiches within moments of ordering. Took longer to find a table, but it was so cold most couldn't sit outside. A must do on each disney trip!

Cheap, fantastic food, varietyCons:

We usually have excellent food, but this time we found the food to be salty. I had the dip duo and it was tasty, but salty. My husband had the steak sandwich (too salty), Son #1 had the nachos and loved them. Son #2 had fish and chips, which he said were not quite as good as Britain, but still pretty good. Had to wait for about a half an hour, which we felt was fine since we didn't have a reservation.
Pros:
Lots of seating, lots of varietyCons:

Best thing for villa dwellers. We were able to order lots of milk, juice, fresh fruit, and veggies. We love having cereal and milk so we can take off as soon as we eat. Also love having healthy snacks instead of picking up junk food in the hotel store. I will certainly use them again.
