Enjoyed dinner here with group of 17 during the first week of December 2012.
Check in was seamless & they were able to accommodate the whole group together since there were long tables in the center of the restaurant.
Others in the group had been there before, while it was the first visit for a few of us. We felt well prepared for the onslaught of food to come. Needless to say, its difficult to pace yourself.
Salad & bread were tasty & well dressed. Noodles, broccoli, chicken wings and pot stickers were all excellent. The skewered meats were fantastic as well. I particularly enjoyed the shrimp & chicken.
We had a couple of young & picky eaters in our group. Our server noticed, and asked the two young boys if they would like some chicken nuggets & fries. You should have seen the platter that he produced! Probably 50 chicken nuggets and the equivalent of 10 regular orders of fries. Piping hot with sauces and ketchup!
I would recommend this as a must eat destination. But be forewarned... plan you days eating accordingly.

This was our first time experiencing the Hooop De Doo, and I imagine most future trips will include it.
We attended the 4pm show the first week of December 2012, and our group of 17 was split into two tables. We had tier II seating and used the DDP. There were no tables sat on the upper floor.
Taking the boat from MK is the most efficient option. It will dock @200 yards from the theatre. There are a couple of playgrounds along the walk to occupy the little (or big) kids in your group.
If you like BBQ chicken & ribs, cornbread & beans, and salad & bread... you'll love the food. If you don't, well... you should 🙂 The show is very entertaining and will prompt giggles from young & old. They do an excellent job engaging the crowd, and like all Disney experiences, they find a way to make everyone feel pretty special.
I've traveled to Disney a number of times on the DDP, and this is by far the most memorable use of a 2 TS credit.

We stayed in the Acadian House. Parking was easy, finding the room was a little more difficult. We had a garden view and our room seemed miles away from the parking lot. It's not a terrible issue. It was just a little confusing at first. The room was nice and you could tell that it had been recently renovated. The beds were comfortable. Our check-in was smooth thanks to a gentleman named Dave. We spent several evenings catching a movie on the lawn and enjoying the pool. They were great ways to unwind after spending the day at the parks. The grounds were well maintained and provided great views for evening strolls. The only issue we had was after my daughter got sick after eating at the food court. It was the middle of the night and she headed to the front door instead of the bathroom. We immediately cleaned up the mess and alerted housekeeping that the carpet would need cleaned. When we returned from the parks the next day, we could see(and smell)that it hadn't been done. We called housekeeping again and it was taken care of that evening. There were many more positives that negatives. We never encountered any staff members that were rude. They were all very friendly. If you stay here you must catch YeeHaw Bob's show. It was a blast for the whole family.
Pros:
price, room, nightly movies, pool, YeeHaw BobCons:

We hit this place up every time we go to Disney. Even took my very picky mother on our last trip and she loved it (plenty different types of foods). Can be a little loud but not overwhelming. Love this restaurant!!

Hands down my favorite place now! We visited 1/6/13 for the 1st time. Arrived about 15 mins b4 our ADR and only had to wait about 5 mins b4 we were seated. I ordered the seared miso salmon and it was amazing!!! Hubby got the bourbon chicken and liked it too. We were on the dining plan so we each got the fried pineapple wontons. Fabulous! Our best dessert of the whole trip. Kids ordered chicken strips, nothing too exciting there. Server was great and we left STUFFED! Would DEFINITELY recommend trying it out. We will be going back!

2nd time we've been here. Good food, good portions, good service. Maybe it was a little early, but it didn't seem like the servers were "playing their parts" like b4. Our server especially. Hubby got the meat loaf and loved it. I got the fried chicken which was pretty good. We both got the Boston Cream Parfait and it was pretty good. My son loved making his own sundae. Hubby also got a Mowie Wowie and it was great. We'll probably go back again.

Eh. Pretty much the best way to describe it. The Scotch Eggs were pretty good. Hubby ordered the fish and chips and I ordered the ploughman's lunch so we could trade off and sample both. I thought the fish was ok, nothing to write home about. the ploughman's lunch was an over priced cold cut platter. Smallest servings of all of the restaurants. I had the jaffa tarts and wasn't impressed. Hubby ordered queen's cake and said it was good. Kids ordered fish and chips and meaty macaroni. Those came w/soup or salad. They didn't want either but ordered the soup. It was some sort of roasted squash and I really liked it, no one else did. Servers were very nice. We might try it again someday, but order different things. Lots of other places to chose from 1st

2nd time eating here. Dogs and fries were very good but the buns were just too big!! Especially for our kids. Easiest way to eat the chili cheese dog is with a knife and fork lol. The worst part is trying to find a place to sit. Very cramped and very busy!!! We would eat here again though, just not late in the day when all we want to do is sit down.

We ended up here b/c we had one more meal's worth of table services left b4 the end of our trip. We booked dinner, gave our card, and thought we would be good to go. I thought this was a good place to eat. Then I read the reviews and my heart sunk. Since we were less than 24 hours out, if we canceled, we would be charged a fee. So, we decided to go w/it but didn't expect much. We are so glad we kept those ADR's!!!! This place was GREAT! I don't know where all those bad reviews have come from. Our server was fantastic, the food was always fresh, hot, and available. Lots of choices and lots of flavor. Nothing too spicey, nothing too tough. Just really really good food. We must have gotten lucky on this one lol! All of the characters came by but my kids weren't really into them. They did do a conga line thru w/the kids and everyone enjoyed that. Hubby and I would probably come back even w/o the kids!
