Review of Be Our Guest Dinner

While we enjoyed this, it is a one and done for us.
We were seated quickly - as we were at all our TS meals since it was a slow time of year.
We were in the ball room which is the least exciting of the rooms but it was still cool.
Service was excellent - very attentive.
The kids meals were excellent. One kid even got a steak that was cooked very well. Go figure. I had the braised pork - very good but too salty. Husband had the catch of the day and said it was ok but also salty.
So while we did enjoy this experience and recommend it to do once, we would choose to try something else next time.
Pros:
Atmosphere and Service, kids foodCons:

I was surprised to like this considering the reviews.
The atmosphere was FUN. the kids didnt feel forced to sit and eat. A table close by of several teenagers were getting assigned chores over and over and my kids thought it was hilarious - the teens seemed to get a kick out of it too.
Food - Kids meals were standard. I had the pot pie and ate every bite. Then insisted on drinking an entire milkshake because it was so good. Good thing I had time to walk it all off. Husband had crab cakes as a meal - the sides with it were really good, he said.
I would do this again for a low key lunch with the kids again.
Pros:
Fun. So much food. TastyCons:
not the cleanest and a bit hecticReviewed by formerprincess Review Date: 03/31/2017

I was surprised how quiet and relaxing this place was, for a character experience.
Food: the cinnamon buns - Nailed it! Even my kid who suffers from dysthymia and likes pretty much no food or experiences, still talks about this food. I thought the other food was just ok. Juice was yummy though!
Service - Fantastic
Atmosphere and characters: chill and lots of character interaction.
Price was way too high for the quality of food.
Enjoyed it but it is a one and done for us!

My husband and I stopped by for a few iced beverages on March 22nd after some serious retail therapy in Disney Springs. I had a Very Berry Refresher and my husband had something similar with lemonade in it. The drinks were prepared quickly and service was awesome.

We went to disney for my 50th birthday, and we choose this hotel for the first time. we are from Argentina, so go to Disney is a huge effort. we had a 13 nigyh stay-
The check in was very smooth, they gave our magic bands and our room was ready (we arrived al 4 o clock, in the afternoon, so it was meant to be) We reserved a preferred room, they gave us a room in north trinidad very close to old port Royale, the room was remodeled, and it was very confortable for the 4 of us, I have some things to complain of, when we arrived the mug washer was out of order and countinued like that for 10 days, there was a ketchup dosifier with a leak all the time of our stay, and more than once I have to clean huge chocolate syryps leaks while I was expecting for muy pancakes at breakfast. We had dinner al the food court only once and only two of the stations were open (you could only eat hamburguers or pizza) and the food court was full with cheerleaders, so we had to do long lines. At breakfast time only two or three registers were open son the lines turned very long, and more than once when you arrived, the person at the register went away and directed you to another ethernal line. Our mousekeeper never left us even a little treat, I know thas is a little thing but is very nice to see something funny when you arrive. I know yah the hotel is going by a big refurbishment but we deserved a better place to eat.

Our four family members (including two teenagers) participated in Highway in the Sky in March. The food was wonderful and they were great about accommodating my teens with fun drinks and my husband with beer instead of cocktails. Loved the monorail ride and meeting new people. The only reason for not giving it a 10 was - it would have been nice to have a slightly cheaper price for those not drinking alcohol and the dessert ending could be improved. The location was a little odd but great views of the fireworks! All and all it was an amazing and very special dining experience!
Pros:
Amazing food, well organized, fun peopleCons:

We went the first time in 2014 using the FP system and we love it. I had surgery on my ankle now 5 years ago and it is hard for me to stand in same spot for long periods of time. So this way I dont have to wait as long. I do think that you should be able to pick fast passes for different parks at same time. Like Expediation Everest in the morning at AK and then later afternoon pick Soaring and Mission Space. I know you can choose them after you use the ones at AK but it would be nice. Also the Tiers should be more flexible like MK does. Soaring/Test Track and Forever after in the same Tier. And Rocking roller coaster and Toy Story Mania in the same Tier and these you can only choose one. other than that I love the no wait or very little

We are DVC members and have stayed at Saratoga Springs the past 10 years. This restaurant is one of the best kept secrets in all of Disney...though it seems more people are finding out about it.
In all the times we've been here, we've always had a fantastic meal and been treated with old school Disney Magic. I typically get the NY Strip with the Lobster fondue, and my wife's go to is the Breaded Chicken...though everything we've ever gotten has be great. The atmosphere is very nice, low dimmed lighting and it's never been crazy loud like we are used to at other Disney dine ins. Staff here has always been amazing from the hostess, waiter, all the way to the food runners. Price is pretty much what you would expect if you are going out to a nice restaurant. Dinner for 2 with drinks and desert will run $70 ish. I consider that fair, and most importantly...you should always do your research on pricing before you go to any restaurant. Yes Disney can be expensive, but you have no one to blame but yourself if you find yourself complaining about it. There are always cheaper quick service options, so keep that in mind.
We've eaten at just about every restaurant down here, and by far this is the one i always recommend to family/friends.

We usually rent a car, but since it was a short trip(March 23 - 26) we used the Magical Express for the first time. Our plane landed at 7:30 p.m.. When we got to the ME check-in, our bus was already there. We waited about 10 minutes for others to board. We checked into Port Orleans Riverside, went to Disney Springs and returned to our room around 11:30. No luggage. I called bell services around 12:15 a.m. and they said our luggage had just left the airport 10 minutes earlier. It arrived at our room at 1:30. Everything I read said it could take up to 4 hours for it to arrive to your room - not to leave the airport. I would consider using ME again if we arrived early in the morning, but never again for an evening flight.
Pros:
bus was waiting at airport, left within 10 minutesCons:

Our last stay at Pop Century, in 2016 was not up to expectations. We decided to give it one more try. This stay was amazing. We stayed from March 31-April 2, 2017. This was the same weekend we were there last year. We paid for a standard room and Mickey Magic upgraded us to a 4th floor preferred room with a king bed. We were pleased. It was quiet, even though we were facing the Bowling Pin pool in 50's section. Our room was clean and the bed was comfortable.
The last time we were there our biggest complaint was the food. This visit we ate lunch the first day and breakfast the second. Both meals were great.
