Review of Cape May Cafe - Character Breakfast

We had breakfast here for the first time last week, and the entire family really enjoyed it. The service was excellent, and the food was very good. The buffet was full of traditional American breakfast foods, and the dishes were refilled regularly.
The characters (Minnie, Donald, and Goofy dressed in their bathing suits) spent MUCH more time with us here than they did at Chef Mickey's. This was a great opportunity to get photos with the characters without waiting in line at the parks.
Our waiter noticed that it was my daughter's birthday and brought her a cupcake and birthday card signed by all the characters. The autographed card was a really cute souvenir for her.
The resort and restaurant are absolutely beautiful, and we got lots of nice photos on the property. We'll definitely return to this restaurant for breakfast on our next trip!
Pros:
Service, time with characters, good food, pretty atmosphereCons:

Stayed here 1/17-1/20.
Checked in around 10 PM. We had requested a king room in the '50s section, which we got. We ate at the food court the first night and the food was good. My husband ate breakfast all 3 days and said it was good.
The room was clean and well-lit. The bed was a little hard for my taste, as were the pillows.
The parking lot was pretty close to our room.
The entire resort was lively and fun to be at. The store in the main building was great - had a large selection of items.
Pros:
Clean, friendly, good food court & shoppingCons:

This restaurant is a lot of fun, and there's certainly enough food to go around. The pony races for the kids were fun, but things got even better when the staff asked all the men in the restaurant to line up and sing "I'm a Little Teapot". The kids got to laugh at the adults and really got into the spirit of things afterwards.
The food was tasty and filling, and the server was happy to bring more of it when needed. My only complaint is that the new skillet menu is a bit limiting. I preferred the old menu.
Pros:
Beautiful resort, fun atmosphere, good serviceCons:

I had the filet, after being disappointed that the bison wasn't on the menu. I have never before had a steak that literally melted in my mouth. I thought it was just a figure of speech, but I was wrong. This was a truly outstanding meal.
Pros:
Some of the best food I've ever eatenCons:

Overall, I do recommend this service, but with caveats. Like some many things in and out of the World, if you understand what this service is and isn't, and plan accordingly, you'll get the most out of it.
It's very convenient to not have to tote luggage around. If you're on the right airline, and with some restrictions, you can even have them take your luggage back to the airport and hand it over to the airline. And, obviously, the price is right.
On the other hand, this service is sloooow. I was very surprised that I waited at the airport for more than an hour for a bus. I had dinner reservations at the California Grill, and I had given myself 3 hours leeway, thinking that would be more than enough time to get to the airport and check in at my resort, but I was wrong.
Pros:
Very conveientCons:

We've stayed at POP twice now, and we've been pleased both times. The cast members are friendly and knowledgable, check-in/check-out is easy, and the rooms are clean and comfortable. I was worried that my family of 4 would feel cramped in the room, but we did just fine the entire week.
The bus service at POP is actually very efficient compared to some of the deluxe resorts we visited. We consider this resort to be a great value and will stay here again and again.
Pros:
Value and bus serviceCons:

Fantastic chicken. We had the fried option. Super succulent and nice, crispy skin that was seasoned perfectly.
We had the rice with pinto beans. Excellent. Also had an order of the yucca fries. Those were very tasty and something I'd never had before.
I also liked the salsa bar. There were several sauces to try, and they were all good.
The folks working there spoke little English but they were perfectly pleasant and friendly.
I'll definitely be back for more on our next rrip.

Felt like the choices were not that many and what was received was lackluster - mediocre at best. I had the vegetable pizza which was okay but the pizza had too much sauce. My son and husband had pizza and felt the same way. Caesar salad was served with everyone's pizza and was okay - nothing special. Ate outside where the birds were as the restaurant was loud and busy. The best thing was the cappuchino cupcake that I chose for dessert and the boys and my daughter chose the cookie. Again - nothing special.
Pros:
Cappuchino cupcake 🙂Cons:

We decided to eat at Flame Tree for lunch when we were at Animal Kingdom. My husband and I had the pulled pork sandwich. Ryan had the ribs and my daughter had the smoked chicken leg. My sandwich was good - needed more sauce and then realized that the sauce was on the condiment station after I ate it (yeesh). My daughter was still hungry after her kids meal and had a couple of her brother's pork ribs, which she loved. The key lime dessert was okay - strange gelatin on the top - but the flavor was good. Would go back again.
Pros:
Fast service, good foodCons:

We ate here for dinner on 2/2/13 and thought it was just OK. Server was very attentive and the restaurant is beautiful but was not impressed with the food at all! I had lobster mac n cheese, my husband had the steak and my MIL had the mahi mahi. Out of all the meals the steak was the best. I thought my pasta dish was just OK and my MIL did not like hers. I had the chocolate wave for dessert which was very good! My husband had the cheesecake which he did not like at all. The restaurant had a very fishy smell which turned all of us off. I understand you are eating in an aquarium, but it was very unpleasant! With all the great restaurants in Epcot, we will not return to Coral Reef.
