Used ME on 3/16 brochure from AAA gives you map with location at airport. Easy to find. Had very early flight and arrived at 8am, moved quickly through airport as last trip we waited forever to get on bus. This time we checked in and they directed us right onto a bus and left we only stopped at one other resort for 2 people then us. We then left on 3/23 the day before we received our packet with our departure time for ME. It was approx 3 hrs prior to our flight . We did stop at 3 other resorts first but the driver was very efficient and kept assuring me that we wouldn't be late. He was correct. Our flight actually was delayed 1 hr. I did ask what happens if you miss ME and the driver told me that they leave usually every half hr so you could catch the next bus but make sure you have your printout confirmation with you to get on the bus. I appreciated not having to take luggage with you all we had to do was go through security. Will use this service again.

We had heard good things about the Plaza and have been meaning to try it for some time, but never did. This year we had lunch there and loved it. We had to wait quite a while to be seated even though we had an ADR. We waited at an outside table, so we had a lovely view of the castle and the day was nice and sunny. After being seated on the enclosed porch area to eat, our server came immediately. She was great. I had the reuben sandwich with broccoli slaw (delicious) and Hubby had the club with fries. His was good too. For dessert Hubby had a hot fudge sundae and I had a brownie sundae. We were surprised that these were included on the dining plan. They were huge. My brownie was as hard as a rock. I had end pieces of the brownie so that's probably why. It was still good and way too much for me to finish. We will return here again if using the dining plan, but not if paying out of pocket. The prices are pretty expensive for sandwiches.

Hubby and I ate here for the first time on 3/4/13, the first night of our trip. We were seated almost immediately after our arrival. I had the chicken parm, and Hubby had the tuna steak. The food was good, nothing spectacular, but fine for our standards. Service was slow. It took a long time for our food to arrive. Another table next to us who arrived after us with more people got their food before we did. Our server did come by several times to see if we needed anything including drinks. When we were done it took a while for our check to come too. I would probably give this place another try. Just don't go if you're in a hurry or have to be some place else in a short period of time.

We have been at all moderates. Last year we stayed at FQ and plan to stay here next year. Why? Mainly because the 11 and 14 year olds want to stay here again -which surprised me because I thought this was more an adult resort. We had even stayed at a Princess Room at POR a few days last time and the girls liked FQ more! There is one experience they insist on at the POR however, and that is going to the RiverRoost to see Bob again.
I believe that reservations for the FQ aren't always available now and when Disney Springs gets going, the boats from FQ and POR will become even more popular.

We ate here several times for quick service meals and breakfast during our 9 day stay. The dining area was always clean and the drink station and condiment area were always well stocked. We did notice right at the end of our stay that the resort was filling up with Spring Breakers and athletic teams and the seating was a little harder to find for breakfast. That was to be expected. Eating early before 8 AM was the answer to that. The food selection was fine for us. We like that you can pick a drink or dessert from any of the stations. We were on the free dining plan, and used the new "tap cards". They worked just fine for us. The cashiers were very helpful in telling us what we were entitled to with the plan. This is a nice food court.

We eat at the Contempo several times each trip, usually lunch or dinner during breaks from the parks. Good selection on both the kiosk menus and in the cold case.
Our favorites are the Marinated Beef Flatbread (absolutely outstanding), Chicken sandwich, and the Chicken Basil Cream Pasta. The burger is just so-so. The bakery case, though inconveniently placed, has lots of great cupcakes!
Ordering can be confusing at first, as you order at kiosks and the line then dumps you at the pickup counter. There are no signs telling you that you must backtrack to the cashier and pay first (order at kiosk, pick up cold and bakery items, pay for everything, get pager for kiosk order pickup.)

We arrived at Tony's for our ADR and we were told that they would seat us soon. After an hour of waiting we asked again about when we would be seated. We had been forgotten and it took them another hour to finally seat us. We never received an apology. Worse the food was horrible.

Loved Loved Cinderella's Table! We had a wonderful experience. We arrived for our ADR, immediately had our picture taken with Cinderella and then whisked to our table. I had heard bad reviews about the food but the food was wonderful. The princesses spent a lot of time with my children talking to them and getting pictures. It was a great experience and we can't wait to go back. Already planning our trip for next Feb. and Cinderella's is absolutely a must!

My wife and I ate an early lunch here during February Vacation. Our waiters name was Zak. He was friendly, but professional. Zak made of feel comfortable throughout our dining experience. I had the Gnocci with Nona's Ragu-out of this world, and my wife had a roasted vegetable sandwich with goat cheese, that she continues to rave about. We shard dessert. A chocolate toffee cake with a scoop of espresso gelato. Incredible!

I was at the Flying Fish during February vacation with my wife. It was our second time here. The food was great, the waitstaff was great, however the management allowed a family to have a children's table located about 8 feet from the adult table. I am sure that it was a tase of freedom for the adults who paid little attention to them. But to the adjacent diners, it meant being subject to flying food, children bumping into them, and loud screaming. Does this happen anyway, absolutley. But by allowing the children to have there own table it was intensified quite a bit. I blame the management number one for allowing this.If it hadn't been for the children's table, I would have rated the experience a ten.
