Popped in for a quick snack on Sunday, April 7th because we just can't visit the World without having school bread in Norway. The school bread was just as good as ever! Kids ordered the soft dessert pretzels. Word to the picky...I had forgotten that the pretzels have raisins baked into them so DS 11 wouldn't eat his. Oh, well. I loved it!
Line is usually long but moves quickly. The treats here are worth the wait.
Pros:
great baked itemsCons:

During the course of our stay at the Contemporary, April 3-11th, we ate at the Contempo Cafe several times.
Breakfast was great! Kids loved the giant Mickey waffles and sausage. Adults loved the scrambled egg and ham breakfast sandwiches.
We also tried the Italian sandwich, chicken cream pasta, pepperoni flat bread, and the breadsticks with Marinara. We really liked everything we tried. Nothing spectacular but fresh and tasty. Ordering was easy on the touch screen kiosks.
Kids really loved the soft serve ice cream. Just pay for empty bowls at the check out and let them loose!
Can't beat the atmosphere, either. Beautiful hotel with the monorail zooming quietly through every few minutes.
Just loved this resort! It was our most magical trip ever!

My family and I stayed at the Poly from March 22-29. I can't say enough good things about this resort! Prior to this trip, we stayed at Pop Century and Port Orleans Riverside. Even though the price was rather expensive, this was by far our favorite place to stay! The monorail makes it nice to travel to MK, and the TTC is a short walk to take another monorail to Epcot. The beach is awesome with excellent views of MK, Grand Floridian, and Contemporary resort. The beach hammocks and swings truly make for a tranquil and relaxing time. Every night around 9pm you get to enjoy the Electrical Parade with a great view of the MK fireworks later on. We also loved the outdoor movie on the beach with the giant big screen. We saw Toy Story, Tangled, and Wreck it Ralph on different nights. They also have s'mores for people to cook on the beach around dusk. The volcano pool is right next to the beach and it's awesome! There's a cool water slide too. We enjoyed the smaller pool too, which was right outside of the building we stayed in... Tokelau. It was only a 2 min walk to the Great Ceremonial House where we enjoyed O'Hana, Kona Cafe, and Captain Cooks food court. By the way, Captain Cooks is the only place where you can get Dole Whips other than at MK. At Cap. Cooks, you get to control the Dole Whip machine and make them as big as you want. Makes for an awesome snack credit! You also have to try Tonga Toast... It's great! Our room was nice, but nothing too special. It really wasn't anything too different from our previous rooms at other resorts other than the sliding glass with a little patio with table and chairs. We also had a little sofa that folded out to an extra bed. Also, I must say that the walkways, torches, plant life, and overall feel of this resort really make for an authentic experience. The rental boats were a blast too. Finally, I love the smell of the Great Ceremonial House....it's almost like a combination of the ocean and flowers. I highly recommend the Polynesian, but if you don't spend alot of time at your resort, it may not be worth it to you. We spent more time at the resort this trip and didn't overdo the parks.
Pros:
Tropical atmosphere, location, pool, beachCons:

This is a fun place to eat and enjoy the music and dancing! **Know that music/dancing is usually after 6pm** Good selection of food and fairly good service. It is loud during dinner hours, but tolerable and we always like going here.

Sure it's busy, but it's a character breakfast! However, it was a great experience with very good food. The characters come around one at a time and spend a couple of minutes with each table! We were not rushed at all and were able to enjoy our selves and get some great pictures. Best character breakfast around!!!
Pros:
GREAT FOOD! Characters were so fun!Cons:

We ate here for our 4 yr old's birthday and were pleasantly surprised, especially with all the mediocre reviews. We had a wonderfully cheerful waitress and she suggested the zucchini fries which were awesome. We enjoyed the ample amount of bread and olive oil dip, then shared the Cannelloni which was more than enough for two so we could have the Tiramisu for dessert. Overall, a very good experience for us and yes because of the tile flooring it can be a little loud. Make a reservation, this place gets busy!

good portions, good food, pleasant serviceCons:

Though I said it's sometimes loud, that's only because it is a smaller venue and you need a reservation. We love this place and it's always a great option if we need to rest our legs and take in a good meal. Though the menu is smaller, it has plenty of choices and I would recommend any of the sandwiches and add on the tomato basil soup, it is some of the best I've had! Great options for kids as well.

great food, nice sit down & small, great view of castleCons:

This is always our lunch place unless we have a reservation as The Plaza restaurant. Great selection of both fried, fresh salads and some grilled options. Upstairs is a better place to get away from the noise especially if you eat an early lunch with little kids like ours.

great option from the burgers!, atmosphereCons:

Though the atmosphere is a quite dark, it's this way on purpose to give the illusion of being at an outdoor market at night and really is wonderful! The food is fantastic and as many of the restaurants in Epcot you can share many of the meals. The small steak tacos are great and we, of course, love the chips and different salsas that come with the table. After your meal, give the boat ride a try. Never a wait and quite relaxing.

Loved the "home-style" atmosphere and really enjoyed the food. My wife and I shared a meal to save $$ and had plenty to eat. Try the queso dip!
