This is normally our favorite character meal, and while the food and service was good this time, the character rotation in the dining room is off.
We used to be able to get the 8am ADR and see everyone by 9am. This time, we'd only seen two of the four characters by 9am and of the two we saw, one barely spent any time with us.
As much as I love the breakfast lasagna, we'll be giving this a rest in future trips. We know they used to rotate the characters more efficiently and it makes no sense to change it and have people camping out longer for characters.

We had dinner here on February 3. We were seated within minutes of our reservation time. I had the shrimp and scallops in a lobster bisque served in a flaky pastry puff. One of the best meals I had all week. The wine pairing suggested on the menu was spot on. Number one son had the Cornish game hen and loved it, number 2 son had Salmon and loved it. Three different dessert choices all very good. Number 1 son was wearing a birthday pin and received a special dessert, The Grey Stuff....he said the dishes were right.
The service was spotty. We were seated in the West Wing. Very intimate. Not nearly as noisy as the ballroom and the tables were much farther apart. The affects are truly Disney. The after dinner visit with the Master was fun. He was very engaging for a character that does not speak. I think the big problem here is congestion. The entire new area of Fantasy land is very crowded.

Food here was great, we all loved it! However, service was a teensy bit sluggish. I will return in the future though...

My oldest daughter and I shared the Big Kahuna sandwich with fries. It was okay. The bread was a little dry. My youngest daughter had the kid's turkey sandwich. It was carved thick turkey slices. Her bread was also dry. One piece of the turkey could not be eaten as it had a hard piece running through it. We were disappointed, but at least we our dessert was great! We went outside and got two Dole Whips!

We got takeout from here while exploring Disney Springs so we could have a sweet treat later in the evening. The cupcakes themselves were very good, but the frosting was extremely sweet. I normally like sweets but it was even too sweet for me.
I also didn't like the ordering system. You order, then you have to wait for your number to be called. With a lot of people milling around waiting for their number, it got a bit crowded in the store and there aren't a lot of places to sit and wait.

the overall experience of this restaurant is suppose to bring you back into the 50's with tile floor, black and white television and vintage surroundings.
I was surprised to the food bland, overdone and most of the menu items deep fried.
More of a cheep eats restaurant as a table service. As a professional Chef, I can tell you there is not talent in this kitchen.
Every single dish was made to impress armature cooks and anyone with no taste buds.
I had the seasonal fish. They served me Tilapia over roasted root vegetables
The Tilapia was suppose to be grilled, just pulling it apart, tasting and telling by texture I can tell this restaurant boils it in a bag, decorates it and sends it out.
Dessert was suppose to be pineapple upside down cake. It was a over decorated pound cake with icing decocted like a cupcake.
A pathetic attempt to try and please this chef.
I will not be returning here again.

One of my favorite buffets in the parks.
Great assortment for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We came in for breakfast and half way though the service the menu changed to the lunch menu.
The only downside was to find the flourless chocolate cake (a gluten free option) placed nest to the regular deserts.

Over priced, catered to more of a Disney princess dining. My boys hated every minute there.
The food was served to a high end degree, starting off with a cheese plate with cold meats.
Followed by your main dish witch was pver cooked and the vegetable's coated in a lot of butter.
I would only recommend this restaurant if you are going with girls who like the Disney Princesses and don't care about what food they eat.

I really wish I could give this trip a better review, I can't. It was terrible from the start. Our biggest issues were with the trip itself and the guides. The trip itself was VERY rushed, we saw most of Yellowstone at 45 MPH! When we stopped to see something we usually only had 20-30 minutes to see everything, take pictures, read markers, etc. before we had to be back on the bus. One time they actually went on to the next stop without us! They did come back for us, but we had to rush through the next stop to keep 'on schedule'.
The guides in my opinion could have used more training. They seemed very insincere and scripted, not very helpful, and even gave us wrong information that totally conflicted with the info the 'local expert' gave us. They didn't do what they said they would do, and one even blew us off after she said she would help us with something.
As a DVC member and a Disney stockholder I am extremely disappointed in Disney, if I were them I would be ashamed to have my name on this trip and on the guides name tags. NOBODY at Disney so far seemed to be interested in hearing my issues. There were other Adventures by Disney trips that looked interesting, however, if they are anything like this one was, I will not spend my hard earned paycheck on them.
