I am never eating here again! The "natural" (aka vegetarian) burger smelled like feet and tasted worse. And it was served with what I'm pretty sure were potato chips from a bag.
The service was friendly and attentive, but it did nothing to make up for the terrible and OVER PRICED food! I paid $20 w/ tip for a sandwich and a drink. That night, I paid $26 w/ tip for a MEAL and drink at a sit-down restaurant.

Can't give this a 10 because I waited (alone) for almost 20 minutes past my ADR time.
That said, once I was seated, the service and food were fantastic!

I use photopass less and less every time we go to Disney because it is so frustrating when u get back home and try to make and order the photos u want. By the time I get my photo projects complete and saved my photos are about to expire and then they want more money to extend the time and it turns in to more of a hassle than anything. Just have the photopass person use your camera along with theirs and then you can have the good pictures without having to fight with photopass website.
Pros:
opportunities to get everyone in the picturesCons:
cost, website extremely hard to work with!Reviewed by tkatgh Review Date: 02/12/2013

After reading the reviews, I was hesitant about this place but I have to say it was one of the best meals we ate on our trip! Lots of variety and delicious foods. The desserts were wonderful as well. Definitely one of the best meals in all of Hollywood Studios. I have a 3 year-old and almost 2 year-old who loved the characters, especially June from Little Einsteins and Jake. Also, my kids aren't huge fans of chicken nuggets but they couldn't get enough of the ones here.
Pros:
food, characters, serviceCons:

This was our first time to stay at a value resort and our 5th time to WDW. We were here Feb. 4-9, 2013. We have stayed at the Boardwalk 3 times and at POFQ once. My husband like the POP better than POFQ. It is very clean and very large. We were in the 80s area. It was quite a hike to the food court but it is fun to go different ways and see the things such as the 8 track tapes, mickey phone, twister games, etc. My children enjoyed the playground and the pool in the 80s area.
The rooms are very small...I was actually able to open the door to the room while lying in bed. If you aren't spending much time in your room it is a fine place to stay. You can hear the toilets flush in other rooms and you can hear outside noise.
Housekeeping was excellent.
Pros:
price, fun atmosphereCons:

This was our first time staying at Kidani Village (having stayed in Jambo House previously) and we loved it! The lobby, while similar to Jambo House, is much smaller, but that made the lobby cozy and pleasant (I love the Jambo House lobby, but its a little cavernous). I actually like the entranceway, with the lanterns outside, better at Kidani Village. We had a three bedroom villa for eight people, and it was plenty of room, as well as being very well furnished. There were a few complaints about the beds being too hard, but most of the group seemed very comfortable.
The animals seemed to be omnipresent and the staff was very nice and more than willing to discuss the animals with guests. We also used the pool, which the kids loved.
I have three complaints. We had frequent long waits for busses, including one morning when we waited over 35 minutes for a bus to the Magic Kingdom. I really wish that the resort had some sort of counter service restaurant, or even offered more food in its gift shop (we got room service one night, and found some of the food inedible, although the salad we got from them was quite good).
But even with those complaints, this is a great resort, and we had a wonderful time there!
Pros:
Beautiful architecture, animal viewingCons:

We've always enjoyed the food here and always had excellent service, so the addition of Remy was just icing on the eclair. And I have to say....he was so darn cute! I briefly contemplated snagging him from platter and attempting to run away with him, but realized I couldn't deprive others of their chance to see him. I wish they had a plush version as cute as the little guy on the platter!
And again, I should note, the food here is unbelievable. I've never had a bad meal. Even the picky eaters in our group enjoyed it!
Pros:

This was the first meal of our vacation on January 25th, and I was concerned. I had been a frequent customer of this restaurant in times past, but had avoided it more recently because it seemed some of the servers took the conceit of the restaurant and used it as an excuse to be obnoxious. Not so this visit!
Our server was spectacular! He fully embraced the concept of the restaurant, and ran with it full tilt without crossing the line to obnoxious. He did all the old favorites (like feeding people their vegetables and bringing uneaten vegetables back to the table disguised as desert) and some new ones as well. Our table of eight was loving it!
The food was good; not great, but certainly not bad, and certainly good enough to make a stop here worthwhile.

I know this restaurant receives a lot of mixed reviews, but we quite enjoyed it. It's not the best food in Disney World (and certainly not the best food in Epcot), but it's not bad. In another park, this could be a premiere restaurant. I think it suffers because Epcot has so many outstanding places to eat, and it just blends into the crowd. (Seriously, I'd love to get this level of food in the Magic Kingdom).
And it is always fun to watch the fish. And the sharks. And the turtles. And the stingray. And the divers. And....
Pros:
The view of the fish!Cons:

This resort is perfect for our family. We've stayed here 3 times and have no desire to stay elsewhere. The grounds are beautiful. Wonderfully themed. Yes, it's a large resort with a lot of walking, but we love the scenery. Beautiful river. Life seems slower here vs. the hustle and bustle of the parks. The food court is great. Like most resorts the bus service is fairly good. With it being such a large resort you usually aren't having to pick up other hotels on the way to parks. Several pools.
At Christmas the resort is beautiful. There was even caroling one morning in the food court with an elf handing out candy canes.
We've stayed at deluxe resorts and value resorts and find PORS to be perfect for our family of 5. The new murphy beds are much nicer and larger than the trundles. My 15 yr old daughter slept comfortably. We'll definitely be back...
