Love this feature of our annual passes. It's so nice to get pictures of DH and I without having to bug people to take them for us. Plus the locations the photographers are in are prime locations. They will take pictures with your own camera as well if you'd like. We usually just print the ones they take with their cameras.
Pros:
Able to get pictures of both of usCons:

We stayed at All Star Movies February 27-March 10, 2017. Most of the time the buses were excellent. It seems the only problems occurred with buses to and from Epcot. One day in the afternoon when heading back to our resort, from the time we got in line at Epcot to the time we arrived at our resort, was 2 hours!!! The line was so long not everyone got on the first bus. Plus the bus was shared with ASS and ASMu. These resorts are too busy to share buses. Another time we waited in the morning for over an hour for a bus. The third time was heading back early evening for dinner reservations. We ended up being 15-20 minutes late but got lucky and was seated anyway. Not sure if this is normal for this resort or not but it's a big reason why we won't stay there again.

My mom and I split the entrée Cobb salad and a filet - this was the perfect amount of food for each of us. As always, the salad was amazing, and the filet was very good. My dad had the lamb two ways, mainly because he wanted the chop; he didn't care much for the lamb belly (but we didn't think he would). For dessert we did two of the sampler trios - one with 2 crème brulee and 1 grapefruit cake, and one with 1 crème brulee and 2 grapefruit cake - so each of us was able to have our two favorites. I just wish they would offer a full size portion of the cake like they do at the lounge outside.
Pros:
Wonderful server; the Cobb salad; the grapefruit cakeCons:

This was my mom's favorite meal of the trip - they had a lunch special of chicken scallopine in marsala sauce and cheese tortellini, and she couldn't stop raving about it. She said the tortellini melted in her mouth; I had a taste of the chicken and it was very good. My dad and I had the spaghetti and meatballs, and we probably could have split this - it was that much food. For dessert, I had the tiramisu, which was great, and my mom had the gelato trio, which she also liked (dad skipped dessert here). We also split a bottle of wine that was very good - I'm a Cab/Merlot girl, but this was a Sangiovese blend that the sommelier recommended and it matched really well with the spaghetti.
Pros:

This has become an annual must-do for us. My dad and I each had the filet with the sauce on the side. The filet tasted great, but the green beans that were served with it were overcooked/wilted - normally they are very fresh and tasty, but not this time. My mom had the braised beef ribs and loved them. We skipped dessert this time because we were too full.
Pros:
Loved the filet and braised short ribs; excellent serviceCons:

This was our second time having lunch here. Last year, I really liked the steak tacos, but this year, they were more like mini steak fajitas - still good, but not quite what I was expecting. My dad had the same thing I did, and he said they were pretty good. My mom had the chicken enchiladas and liked them as well. She also had the blood orange margarita which was really good. The surprising thing was that we weren't offered a dessert menu here.
While the tables are pretty close together, we were able to get my mom's wheelchair to the table without any issues. We were one row in from the "waterfront" tables, so the aisle between the tables was a little wider than the other aisles, so that helped.
Pros:
Atmosphere; server; the blood orange margaritaCons:

We requested an outside table, and were in a little alcove on the middle tier, right off the beer garden/patio area. It was too tight of a fit for my mom to stay in her wheelchair, but once we got her seated, we were able to park the chair just outside the rope at the bottom of the walkway to the beer garden - out of everyone's way. I had the strip steak with green beans and Yorkshire pudding, and it was very good. My dad had the corned beef and cabbage, which is one of his favorites, and mom had the fish and chips. She really loved her meal - said the batter was just enough, the fish was nice and flaky, and it tasted great. For dessert I had the trifle, which is always great (strawberries, custard, and whipped cream - what's not to like???), and my mom had the sticky toffee pudding, which she liked, but said was a little too sweet for her.

After many years of "we should try this", we finally pulled the trigger this trip. Brandon was our server, and he was very knowledgeable about the menu and wine selections. He recommended the Frog's Leap zinfandel, which was great on it's own, but paired with the filet took it up another notch! All three of us had the filets; dad and I had the potato gratin and mom had the green beans and carrots. My filet was melt-in-your-mouth tender - I've only had one other filet I could say that about, and that was at a local restaurant that was featured on Diners Drive-ins and Dives on the Food Network). For dessert, I had the chocolate peanut butter cake, and it was excellent; mom had the Yachtman's Sundae which she also enjoyed.
Pros:
Great server, awesome foodCons:

I date this a 10 for the atmosphere. The music room is beautiful and definitely quieter. Our food arrived quickly (preordered). I took off for the food. It was tasty but DD and I ordered the open faced poached egg and bacon sandwich. The eggs were cooked way too long. They were hard boiled. A small thing but noteworthy.
Pros:
Beautiful settingCons:

My wife and I have eaten several times at the Rose and Crown and always found the service and food to be excellent.
The last time we ate there my wife had the Potato Leek soup and I had the Scotch Egg for starters and they were both very good. Then we had the Shepherd's Pie which is excellent. For desert my wife had the warm fruit crumble which she said was very good.
