I couldn't wait to visit this new restaurant, and I was not disappointed at all! Ate lunch here on Sunday 3/10/13. The food was excellent, I had the grilled steak sandwich, DH had the carved turkey sandwich and DS17 had the braised pork. My only wish was that there was more sauce on the bread, it was a wee bit on the dry side, but not unbearably so.
The ambiance was SO awesome. I couldn't stop looking around at everything they had to offer.
I love how they serve you the food as well, they bring it out on these covered carts so that it stays warm.
The only problem that we encountered was the ordering, it's a little confusing but there certainly are helpful CM's to help guide you along and soon we were on our way. And the dreaded wait in line, however I do have to say that it was not as bad as I had anticipated before leaving, per the boards here on all ears. 🙂

Although we stayed at Pop Century, we decided to stroll across the bridge and check out AoA, for the first time. It's got lovely, festive grounds and their pool is amazing. There is also a play area for kids. The food was DELISH! I'm so happy that we decided to go check them out, it was 99% different than the food at Pop.
I had their Buffalo style turkey sandwich, DH and DS17 had their build your own burger's. Everyone was pleased with their food. My buffalo turkey sandwich was on the most amazing multigrain bread and it had tons of arugula, with tons of flavor. I will definitely go back, again and again!

We have eaten here before, a couple of years ago and so we knew what to expect. We had lunch last Monday, 3/11/13, and walked right up without reservations, with minimal wait time. Their food was not a disappointment at all, we loved it! DH and I both had the Traditional Mexican Lunch, and DS17 had the Enchiladas Verdes de Pollo (chicken enchiladas with green salsa).Our server, Jorge, was disappointing though. He barely paid any attention to us, left us waiting FOREVER after taking our drink orders, and only checked on us 1 time throughout our meal. We literally had to flag him down for our drink refills and he never offered us a refill on our water glasses at all.
I really do love this restaurant, it feels like you're transported to an outdoor cafe right in Mexico.
I will think twice, however, after the service that we received, before going back again.

We've eaten at Artist Point during two different deluxe dining trips over the past year and, on both trips, it was one of the top two dining experiences (and, on both trips, we also ate at Cali Grill, Jiko, Citricos, and Flying Fish).
Food and service were top notch both times. The portabello mushroom soup, buffalo, and berry cobler is one of the top meals at WDW.
This one of the most underrated restaurants at WDW. A true hidden gem. Take a boat ride over here for dinner at the end of a Magic Kingdom day. And make sure to take some time to enjoy the Wilderness Lodge lobby area. You won't regret it.

The food was OK. It is NOT traditional Mexican food and it was extremely overpriced. We had a large group and were crammed into a corner with no view of the lake or anything else. I would not recommend this restaurant and we will not be returning. I am not a Disney food snob and find most Disney restaurants acceptable. Save your money and go to Be Our Guest instead.

We had a wonderful lunch at the Brown Derby! I was concerned about the negative reviews but our food was delicious and our server, Ashley, was exceptional! We had 11:35 lunch reservations so we were some of the first people there; we ordered 4 appetizers and 4 beers. The blue crab spring rolls and cobb salad were amazing and it was fun to taste beer we had never had before. We will definitely eat here on our next visit!

What an awesome place! We didn't bowl while we were there but it looked very cool; the lanes, the pool table area, the bar areas, all great! We ordered the calamari and volcano roll. Didn't care for the calamari but the sushi was great! Enjoyed the outside bar area, will definitely go back next visit to Disney!

We had a very nice first stay at the Polynesian March 2-8. Their computers were down when we checked in, thank goodness I printed out my reservation because that's what they used to check us in. Our room was ready at noon and it was very clean and very spacious. We had to get 3 refrigerators before we got a working one but that was a minor inconvenience. We were offered a microwave and were very happy about that. The maintenance guy had to fix our air conditioner and our water was cut off one morning but thank goodness both things were fixed very quickly. We had to wait 35 minutes two days in a row for buses to Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios. There was a cast member at the bus stop though and he was very helpful. Didn't care for Captain Cook's but Kona was wonderful. Overall, I loved the resort but looking forward to trying someplace new next time.

We had a wonderful breakfast on our last day at the Polynesian! We had the wasabi mary's, french press coffee, Samoan and steak and eggs. The Samoan was outstanding, my husband said his steak was a little tough, we ended up sharing my Samoan! Would definitely eat here again!

I´ve been in value resorts five times since 2008 (ASMovies and Pop), this time we decided to go moderate, and smaller.
I loved the peace of this resort, the surroundings and the places to walk. Our room was in the building four, very close to everything.
The beds are larger than the ones in the value and the room was also better to fit four.
My husband and kids (15 and 12) missed the icons and the disney atmosphere of the Pop.
The food court is small, we went in January, so it was ok, I don´t know if the size is large enough for peek times (such we are from Argentina we always go in January, our summer vacation)
If I have the chance I would return to this hotel, the cast members were always helpful and kind, and everything in the hotel was relaxing and friendly. I also loved the night shows at the bar.
