My DH and I arrived about 15 minutes early for our reservations on 2/23 and were seated immediatley. Our table was in the center, so we had a decent view of the tank. My DH had the NY strip steak which was cooked just the way he likes it and the bailey's mousse. He raved about both. I had the lobster pasta and the wave, which were both incredible. Hands down our best dinner this trip and would return again (maybe even twice!).

My DH and I were taken right on time for our reservations on 2/21. The food was good, although often there were empty spots on the buffet, as if they were having a hard time keeping up with demand. The food was good, and the waitstaff friendly. We felt a little rushed as our bill appeared before we had even gotten dessert or seen all of the characters. The characters were great and posed patiently with us. Will most likely return on our next trip.

My DH and I arrived on a weeknight at 5:30. We reserved a lane for an hour immediately and were taken upstairs to our spot. Before we had even changed into our bowling shoes, a waiter had come over and asked what we would like to order. Our plan had been to bowl first then eat, but the waiter came over about 5 times in 10 minutes to see if we wanted to order. We finally told him we would order when we had about 10 minutes left (I didn't want greasy hands to get in the way of beating my dh) and then he backed off. The bowling was a lot of fun, and the burgers (juicy lucy and the kingpin) were the best we had on the trip. Would return next trip for sure!

I was a little skeptical- $25 for dessert when I am not big on sweets- but I figured this would be a nice treat for our fellow travelers, first time guests. I was blown away by the selection of food, the view.....the whole thing! And also, I had read previous reviews about the railing filling up. This did happen, but the number of people is limited so it really isn't bad. I really enjoyed this party and think it will be a must-do on my future trips!

Ate here 2/24/13 for dinner, steak was delicious and perfectly cooked. Steak is large but side dishes are smaller, more "upscale" feel. Worth 2 credits for a big steak dinner, don't miss the pretzel bread and cheese soup.

We booked our reservation for February 2013 way back in Septtember 2012. We usually stay at a value resort, but decided to splurge because my grandson loves pirates. We chose this resort b/c of the pirate rooms and were told we would have one.
When we arrived Feb. 9th, we were told we had been moved. The manager admitted to overbooking and we were stuck with a regular room. Extremely disappointing to a six year old!. He said MAYBE we could move in a couple of days IF a pirate room became available. Who wants to unpack and repack (we were staying for a week.)
The next day my daughter went to iron some clothes. The iron poured water all over the clothes. We called for a new iron. A hair dryer was delivered. Turned out we needed a new one of those too - so my son-in-law said he would install it himself.
We called for the iron. Housekeeping was rude and said they already delivered it. We said no, it was a hair dryer. Thirty minutes later, still no dryer. Called again. We finally received an iron.
The bus service is not great and we had to wait over an hour for a bus to Downtown Disney one evening where we had dinner reservations. Barely made it in time!
When checking out, had to deal once more with a rather rude employee!
We will return to Disney b/c we love the parks, but will stay in a Value Resort instead -- we have found the employees at the Value Resorts to be much more friendly and helpful.
Our room itself was pretty clean, but, again, the service left a great deal to be desired.

We visited in February 2013. There were 8 in our party (perfect for our table), including 4 children.
I cannot way enough positive about Teppan Edo. We have eaten here on several previous visits and have never been disappointed. Yet this time was the best ever.
We had our first female chef, who was awesome. Her name is Mai. Not only was she as competent as our other chefs have been, her personality was the best. She interacted with all of us, especially the children.
The food was delicious as always, the staff friendly and courteous, and the evening was wonderful.
Highly recommend. In fact I give it a 10+++++.

This was my fifth or sixth time booking a reservation at Mama Melrose's. Very disappointing.
The service was slow and our server seemed bored to have our table. One entree was totally forgotten!
In the past the food was marvelous -- not so this time. One of our party ordered the vodka shrimp penne - all of FOUR SHRIMP! The menu did not say the dish was garnished with shrimp!
I ordered the charred steak, and it was tough. Actually had steak at two other locations and it melted in my mouth, so it must have been the chef.
Anyhow, I won't be eating here again...so sad to say goodbye to what had been my favorite.

This is an absolutely gorgeous resort! The ground are beautiful and peaceful and the mansion side at night is so romantic! We stayed in the Princess room and my eleven year old daughter just fell in love with the room. She cried when we had to leave and we were transferring to the Beach Club! We watched YeeHaw Bob which was a treat and took the boat to Downtown Disney and swam in the pool and just really took the time to enjoy this resort...we usually stay Deluxe but will definitely be staying here again!!!!
