For the third year in a row we ate at La Hacienda. For the third year the overall experience was great. Great location to see illuminations. The restaurant appearance was very clean. The staff was again friendly and attentive to our needs (3 boys and 4 adults).
The food was excellent (costillas en salsa de chile (ribs), taco's de camarones (shrimpt), taquiza (taco sampler)).
Two adults enjoyed a couple versions of margarita's. The beer was very cold the way I like it.
Looking forward to 2017 visit.

Ate here twice during the week of 10/10. First time everything was great - service, wait time to be seated and food was outstanding. Second time, the waiter acted very indifferent - like he really didn't care. Grandson ordered the grouper both times - first time great, second time not as good as the first. I have the beef the first time - was wonderful, husband had it the second time - not very good. I ordered the salmon the second time and it was extremely bland - not taste at all, like they never seasoned it. First time we have ever been disappointed with a meal here.

Ate here the week of 10/10. With the temperature outside being in the low 70's, the restaurant must have had their air condition set at 60 or lower. Everyone on our party was too cold to enjoy the atmosphere - many others in restaurant were putting on sweaters/jackets just trying to stay warm. Husband had swordfish, I had crab cakes and grandson had surf and turf. Food was extremely bland. The wait staff were extremely friendly and helpful.

Stayed in a one bedroom at the Villas from 10/8 to 10/15. The newly refurbished rooms are beautiful. The paint in the hallways are now bright and welcoming and the new carpet is great.

My husband, daughter (16), and I had brunch here on Sunday, October 23rd. This is one of our favorite WDW restaurants, so when they announced they would be serving brunch, I knew it was a "must do" on our next Disney vacation.
We had reservations at 930, and were seated immediately. It was our waitresses first day, and she was awesome (sorry, I can't remember her name).
My husband and I each had a mimosa and my daughter had a smoothie to start with a basket of pastries. For appetizers, we had shrimp and grits, the cheese board and a romaine salad. For entrees, we had the croque madame, and steak and eggs. The dessert was a trio of mini's, which consisted of: Valencia blood orange bar, triple chocolate cake, lemon blueberry timbale and a white chocolate Mickey. Everything was great, but my sandwich wasn't hot. That's why I couldn't give Narcoossees a 10 this time around...
The brunch was expensive, but worth every penny. I highly recommend.

Just returned from our 4th time at POFQ. Again it fit all our needs to a TEE. Even with the food court being refurbished it gave us the opportunity to explore at Riverside. Bus and boat wait times were minimal, appreciate the arrival time boards at the bus stop.

My husband, daughter (16) and I attended MNSSHP on Sunday, October 23rd. This was our first party since 2007, and it was exactly as I remembered. The crowds were low, and we walked on just about everything. Mine Train had a consistent 30 minute wait, but we had a FP for it, so we walked right on.
We came home with 3, gallon sized, Zip Lock bags full of candy (Dove bars, M&M's, Lifesaver gummies, Snickers, Skittles, Milky Way and Trix).
The parade was AWESOME and the fireworks spectacular!!!!
Pros:
Low Crowds, Lots of Candy and Short Ride TimesCons:

My husband, daughter (16) and I had breakfast here on Monday, October 24th. We enjoy a meal or 2 here every time we visit WDW. Again, everything was perfect, a true, hidden gem. I just can't say enough wonderful things about it...

My husband, daughter (16) and I were given a VERY magical surprise when we were unexpectedly upgraded to the Royal Palm concierge level during our recent 1 night stay Oct 23-24. Our room faced the 7 Seas Lagoon and Cinderella's Castle and was on the 4th floor of the main building. It was ready by 1130 am and couldn't have been more perfect.
The private lounge was beautiful and the food and drinks plentiful. We enjoyed snacks and high tea.
Concierge was AWESOME and helped get us a Mine Train FP to use before MNSSHP.
I am so appreciate of this very special gift. It made our 1 night in Disney absolutely perfect in every way.
