Most consistent food at Disney---always excellent. My husband got the scallops and the rest of us ordered filet. Service here is unmatched at any Disney restaurant. The main meals have noodles, veggies, and meat. They serve white rice on the side. I always order sushi and think it is the best on property. Very entertaining chefs. Would highly recommend to families with children.
Pros:
Lots of food, fantastic serviceCons:

We love the Sci Fi and eat lunch there every time we hit Disney. We all had cheeseburgers and fries, which were excellent. The movies they are showing are getting very old...since we eat there several times a year we would like to see some more funny clips and visit the refreshment stand bits.
Pros:
Cars, moviesCons:

Stayed there 12/26-1/1. We are vacation club members and this is our home base. We usually rent a two bedroom villa. They had taken a previous suggestion to improve the lighting in the bathrooms and I was pleasantly surprised. They had computer problems when we checked in, but they bent over backwards trying to make it as painless as possible and apologized all over the place. The rooms were clean and we loved the new microwave and washer/dryer.

Ate there 12/26. I ordered a salad and didn't realize the salad dressing they tossed it with was very sweet and sugary. They should give you a choice of dressings to appeal to more people. My sons both had flat bread pizzas and my husband had the chili. All were excellent. There was a line at the sandwich/salad area but the manager (who walked past several times) didn't stop to help her. Very convenient, great food. Staff is always pleasant.
Pros:
convenience, choicesCons:

Don't waste your money. We went on Christmas Day as a special treat for our children. When we booked we were not told that the menu selection was not the typical BBQ dinner that they advertise. It was dried out smoked turkey and ham, both were nothing more than lunch meat. Only a couple sides and for dessert it was ice cream or pumpkin pie. We were told it was two tables of dessert selections, this was so untrue. Also, to get our meals we had to wait in long lines only to be so unimpressed with the ridiculous selection (so not Disney quality) and it was so picked over and very unappetizing. After being told to be there 45 minutes prior to the reservation, with young children that was ridiculous. Finally being seated (the entertainment was already in progress) it was so large we didn't even see the stage. Not one character ever made it to our table. We had enough and spoke to the manager whereby we learned that since it was a holiday they change the menu (down graded it). So not worth the ridiculous amount of money they want for such a terrible meal. We have been to many other Disney Character meals and loved them! This one is not worth your money.

At here 12/28 after standing in line since 10am (they opened at 10:30). The ordering was easy for us since the kiosks were manned by cast members. Prices were much less than we expected. Once we found a table there was no one to tell us that we were supposed to get our own utensils, napkins, and drinks. The food was good. I had the turkey sandwich and my husband and boys had steak sandwiches. The best part was the sandwich bread. Yummy. We sat in the ballroom, and it was the first room to fill up. Would love to go back for dinner but haven't had good luck with reservations.

Our kids are older, so the characters weren't the main draw. I will say that Ariel was FANTASTIC. She was hospitable and more real than the others and didn't try to talk down to my teens, but engaged them. I loved her! The food was good and we really enjoy going out of the comfort zone. Our waiter seemed new and maybe a bit nervous. They have some really terrible seating options and tried to put us at one of them. Speak up if you aren't pleased - it's a lot of money for a meal that is uncomfortable. I'm not sure why they put people literally on top of the salad bar with no ambiance whatsoever!

Just got back from stay 12-28 to 1-3-13. Had a king room in Building 7 of Little Mermaid. Great room on 3rd floor in back facing Hourglass lake and Pop Century. Long walk to Animation Hall and bus stop and main pool.
Room has motion sensor thermostat so room got hot in middle of night. when I got up it turned air on. Food court was crowded at times but ok.
Will probably stay at Pop Century again next time.
If you stay in a suite up front, you will be ok.
Pros:
Nice decorations, Big pool, New roomsCons:

Even with an ADR, you can wait quite a while...however, it's worth it! The mushroom risotto is amazing - I dream about it. The wait staff is wonderful and will tell you all about their home towns and answer any questions. It's our favorite part of the meal. I notice that younger kids aren't as happy there - but with teens and adults - it's amazing! I was there on my birthday and there was no special treatment - so don't expect that for a special occasion!

Ate here as part of Candle Light Dinner package on Dec 29, 2012. Did not have to wait long as was not that crowded. Our seating was in back row by kitchen door. Our waitress Flo was great. Salad and rolls were great. Food came out a little fast. First serving was very small and asked for more right of way. 2nd serving took a while to come out. A lot of characters walked by but did not stop. We did get a few pics though. Would request front seating if we do again. Only problem was when we paid bill, we did not get our passes for the Candle Light Processional. When I went back, I had to pay $30.00 more.
