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!
Pros:
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.
Pros:
Convenience, delivery, fresh productsCons:

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:

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.

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.

Confusing as to what to doReviewed by kretzklan Review Date: 01/06/2013

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!
