Review of Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn & Cafe

I loved this eatery! The touch screens were great, I wish they had more at Walt Disney World. I got the burger and my dad had a wrap. We both enjoyed our food. We sat outside under shade with a nice view of Splash Mountain. It was a nicely themed eatery, I love the east side of Magic Kingdom. It was very crowded, but that's expect of any Magic Kingdom eatery. They handled the crowds well and the food was ready in a fine amount of time.
Pros:
Theming, Touch screen ordering, Outdoor seating, Topping barCons:

My husband and I stayed in a savannah-view studio at Animal Kingdom Lodge Kidani Village from January 17-20, 2013. This was our first time staying at this resort. We were quickly greeted upon arrival and check-in was processed quickly. The staff was very nice and friendly. Before walking to our room, we checked out the lobby and viewing areas. It's amazing to see so many different animals outside the windows which we really enjoyed. The walk to our room was extremely long. Prior to our trip I read reviews that mentioned long walks to rooms but I honestly thought they were exaggerating. My husband and I enjoy walking but this distance made you think twice about a quick visit to the room before heading somewhere else. Luckily there are windows along the hallway so you can see animals on the savannah. The room itself was very nice, clean and comfortable. I liked the decor. During our visit we went Jambo House to look around that resort. After seeing that impressive lobby, my husband was sorry we didn't stay there instead of Kidani Village. Both resorts are beautifully-themed and worth a stay.
Pros:
Staff, room decor, animalsCons:

We have always wanted to try Boma for breakfast and we finally did on Feb 17th. This was a great breakfast and my new favorite while at Disney. I thought the turkey carving station was odd for breakfast but it was very good and better than the ham. The corned beef and cornbread hash was so good. I also really liked the french toast bread pudding with pecan praline sauce. This place will have something for everyone and you will not be disappointed. Lots of fresh fruit, pastries and even cereal for kids.
My only complaint was our server was very slow. Had to ask over and over for stuff like she had to many tables and forgot completely. She would walk by and see a pile of empty plates and not grab them. We have had dinner here a number of times and never had a bad server so hopefully just a bad day.

We love the Magical Express. It's a really nice perk. We just had carry on luggage. We did not wait long and were lucky that the Caribbean Beach (which was a great resort) was the first stop and on the ride back to MCO, the last stop. When we got a earlier flight, it was super easy to change to another bus. And when we got to the bus stop early, they let us get on another bus.
Pros:
Super easy, Disney Magic, Great PerkCons:

It was a lovely setting with very friendly Cast Members. Food was good but a little bland. I suppose with many Japanese eateries locally to me, I would choose something else.

After staying at Kidani Village for three nights, my husband and I transferred to Boardwalk Villas. This was planned to give us an opportunity to try two different DVC properties. Arriving at Boardwalk made us feel like we were home. We prefer the Epcot resorts due to their proximity to Epcot and Hollywood Studios. Nothing beats the quick walk in and out of World Showcase, especially when Illuminations ends.
The one-bedroom standard villa was conveniently close to the lobby. The room looked out over the airport baggage check-in area but we were never disturbed by any noise. After some difficulty with key card which required me to return to the lobby twice, I was finally able to enter our room. The room was nicely decorated, very clean and met our needs wonderfully. Each day we went out for the morning and returned in the afternoon for a break either in our room or by the pool. Twice we enjoyed drinks by the Luna pool. The staff st the Leaping Horse Pool Bar were very friendly and attentive.
When our trip came to an end, we were sorry to leave our "little home" away from home. We look forward to our next visit in October.
Pros:
Location to Epcot & Hollywood Studios, resort feels like "home"Cons:

I stayed Feb 15-17th and let me tell you I couldn't wait to leave. We got checked in and took the walk to Aruba building 55 and everything looked nice and maintained. Once we got in the room it was a different story. First thing I did was flip back the sheets and you could tell the sheets were not washed from the previous person. Still had the marks from the spot they slept in and lots of hair and food crumbs. Checked the other bed and it was ok. There was still food all over the floor so you know it was not vacuumed at all. There was still hair all over the bathtub so again not cleaned. Dead bugs in the sink and around the edges. Mustard on the wall and head board. Kleenex on the side of the bed. Cookie crumbs all over the air conditioner. We got in late so we just had to deal with it until morning. We called the manager and he said the manager of mousekeeping would clean the room when we were out for the day. Got back to the room and the carpet and sheets were addressed but nothing else. Instead of moving to a new room we just dealt with it and won't be staying there again. These really need the updating like at Coronado Springs with the queen beds, paint, carpet and furnishings.
Hope you have better luck.

My daughter and I ate here for lunch on January 27. We got in line around 10:40 and we were inside with our food by 11am. Menus were shown to guests in line, but there were also several kiosks inside with pictures and descriptions of the food.
Ordering was easy. Someone asked how we were paying (Disney's Quick Service Plan) and showed us what to do. Once we placed our order, we got our rose and were told to find a seat at any of the three dining rooms. We were told where we could get our drinks and silverware. Our food was served to us within 5 minutes and was VERY GOOD. The braised pork was amazing. My daughter had the steak sandwich which also tasted very good. The desserts (chocolate cream puff and triple chocolate cupcake) were beautifully presented and yummy.
After we ate, we were allowed to take a quick peek into the other dining rooms. All of the rooms were lovely. We sat in the main room so we could see the "snow" falling outside.
One of our best quick service meals at Disney
