This was our favorite QS meal of the trip. Got there at 2:15 and got in with a very little wait. This place is absolutely beautiful! We ordered the Croque Monsier and the steak sandwich. Both were very good, but I prefered my Croque Monsier. The strawberry cream cheese cupcake was awesome!! I ordered the chocolate cupcake, but after trying my husbands strawberry cupcake, I took his! I love that they give you a rose, you get the drinks yourself and then they find your table to bring the food to you. Can not wait for our next trip so we can eat here again!
Pros:
Food, concept, beautiful rooms to pick fromCons:

We love Crystal Palace for breakfast and have eaten here the past 3 trips. Food is always great! I was disappointed this time that they no longer have apples, bananas and oranges as my boys love eating the fruit with their breakfast. This time our server was awful! We had a party of 6 so the gratuity was already added on so not sure if that is why he was not attentive at all? The server behind us brought out the little girl a signed card from the characters and a cupcake for her birthday and our server did nothing for my boys who were celebrating their birthdays while we were there. He mentioned it when we sat down, but didn't do the little extras. I asked about it, so he brought it out but didn't seem very happy about it. If we eat there again, I am going to make sure we don't have him as our server again!

Ate here for the first time on 2/6/13. I was a little apprehensive after reading so not so good reviews about the wait staff but decided to give it a try and I am so glad we did! Server was very nice and attentive. He constantly refilled our drinks and answered all our questions. Beautiful restaurant! Had a seat by the front windows which was so nice. Food was very good. I ordered the French onion soup and Macaroni and cheese, husband had the same soup and short ribs, my MIL had a salad and the salmon and both boys had the breaded chicken (chicken fingers) and pasta. Everyone really enjoyed theirs meals! Sorbet dessert was excellent! The waiter that pushed Remy around was great with the kids and Remy was adorable! Will definitely eat here again!

We love eating at San Angel so made reservations for 2/7/13. This time did not disappoint! Our server Christy was fantastic! The meals we ordered were delicious! I got the pollo a las rojas, husband got the carne asada and my MIL got the pork dish (can't remember the name). Everyone loved the meal! Dolce De Leche ice cream finished off the meal! Can't wait to eat here again on our next trip to Disney World!

Ate here for the first time on 2/3/13. We all ordered the lobster roll which was excellent! It was nice to have a change in menu instead of the typical burgers or pizza. Will eat here again!

We stayed from Jan.26- Feb.2,2013. We had a great time. The employees were very friendly. The food was great. I loved being able to get as much soda, coffee, iced tea, hot tea, and hot cocoa as I wanted. The lighting in the bathroom was a little too dim, but you can see at least. I would definitely stay there again.
Pros:
Wonderful,clean rooms. Employees are friendlyCons:

Love eating at Sunshine Seasons because of all the different food choices! I got the turkey sandwich, which I usually get and it was great as usual! Highly recommended!

We were really hoping to participate in this thinking it would give us an experience similar to the Universal Express passes that worked so well over there.
As of right now, the front desk here at the Boardwalk told us they were running some tests in Dec / Jan but at the moment they are not doing anything with them here at this resort. The unit to accept them is here, but that was it. We think we saw one person in Epcot today with the band on, but that would be the only one.
So at the moment, no Fastpass+ or anything like that available. Kind of a bummer, but we knew that February was pretty early in the year for a new technology.

We were a party of 6, and I got my reservations in as soon as they were available. We had a great table close to the railing, and could have remained seated for the show, however, some in our party decided to join the rest of the guests at the railing.
Desserts were plentiful and very tasty. The only drawback of the entire event was an obnoxious mother at the table closest to us who seemed to take delight in berating her children and others at her table for the entire time. Hard to tune her out, but we managed to still enjoy the show!
The reservation system for this event leave something to be desired though. While they say reservations will be availalbe "about" 60 days prior to your date, there is no set way of knowing when you can actually reserve a date. Calling and checking online starting about 60 days out, and continuing until you finally are able to reserve seems to be the only way to do it. The folks answering the phones don't know anything about when reservations will be opened for specific dates, and different cast members will tell you many different versions of the story...your best bet is to keep trying until you finally get what you want.

While the room and some of the food were lovely, we felt like our waitress was providing "drive by" service. We would go long stretches without seeing her and had to ask for glasses of water (after receiving our bottle of wine). The pork was ordered medium and came out well done; the beef tenderloin was ordered well done and came out almost inedible - and a steak knife was never provided and I was almost done with the entree before she came by to check on us to see if we needed anything. This was our first visit to the Wave and sadly, we could only think "I miss the Concourse Steakhouse".
