Review of D-Luxe Burger

May 20, 2016: This is a good burger, but not wonderful. I had smoked Gouda and back on mine. Buns are toasted and the meat is a better quality than the normal park and resort burgers. They are cooked medium well. French fries are double fried which makes them taste stale. Beverages include some creative shakes and many alcohol options. One burger, a small order of a fries, a bourbon shake and a hard ginger ale was $45. This falls under table service but is decidedly quick service. You order at a counter and find a seat. When your pager goes off, you fetch your tray. Seating is inadequate for the volume of guests. I'm in no hurry to return or recommend this place but if you are on the dining plan it's a decent option.
Pros:
Made to order, better than usual park burgersCons:

This place has a very nice atmosphere, and the food was quite good. Server was passionate about the food, but then he disappeared for long stretches; too long. Overall, it was a bit too expensive for the quality of the food. I'm happy to pay for a really nice fine dining experience, but this one was just a bit off the mark.

CG is a must-do for every trip. This time a slight disappointment as my filet was just a bit overcooked, closer to medium than the medium-rare I ordered. Server offered to take it back, but I declined. It was still delicious, and my wife's chicken entree was perhaps the best chicken dish I've ever tasted. Fritters for dessert were also amazing.

Headed to the lounge for a drink before dinner at the California Grill. Nice place. Since it was hours before the fireworks, the place was empty, which was nice. We tried going up to watch the fireworks the night before, but didn't realize we needed to check in in the lobby first, so we watched from our room instead. That was a bit annoying. But I get it - can't have non DVC guests heading up to the club. Overall, a nice idea.

I would recommend T-Rex to anyone! It is tradition for my family to visit there on our trips. We always get the HUGE nachos! They are wonderful and are big enough for at least 2 to share.
Aside from the food, the meteor showers are also very cool!

Good food and a fun atmosphereCons:

Disney Transportation can be very good, or VERY bad. At times it's fabulous, like when you walk up and your bus pulls straight up. Or it can be a miserable 30 minute line. Those are not fun, especially after a long day at the park. However, after being at the park all day, it's nice to, "Sit back, relax and let us [The Disney transport] do the driving!"
Pros:
No driving!Cons:

We visited in April 2016 for lunch. We had a reservation and did not wait long to be seated. My husband and I decided to share a few appetizers and we were not disappointed! We had the dragon roll; ahi tuna nachos; and thai chili wings. All were delicious! I ordered the Yak Attack..a frozen drink which was also delicious. The food came quickly and we were able to relax and enjoy it. The only negative we had, and this was a situational negative, there was a large group dining in the same room and they were obviously there for a long time. The adults in the group were not paying any attention to the children in the party. They were jumping around and wrestling. So much that my husband had to correct one of them when one child was choking another. The adults didn't even notice! or seem to care! But this does not take away from the fact that the restaurant was delicious and the service was great! I would highly recommend it.

We went and it was VERY crowded. The line was out the door and we waited 10-15 just to order. Then, after we finally ordered, we had to search the entire restaurant for a table. We searched for a while until we found these people who were almost done. We still had to wait on them for a little bit though. By the time we finally sat down our food was pretty much cold and stale. However, we had been there in previous visits and the food was pretty good.

We ate here for my nephews birthday. We told the hostess that we wanted to celebrate this special occasion and she stated that it was a wonderful place for a celebration. He had just turned 21 and there were seven of us in the dining party. We were seated exactly at our reservation time. Our bread and water came quickly. The waitress had several suggestions for us that she said were her favorites..she took our orders quickly and the appetizers came almost instantly! Then before we had finished those, the entrees came out. The serving staff moved our appetizer plates away to make room for our entrees. Before we knew it, we were being asked for our dessert choices. A party of seven and we were in and out in just over an hour..no mention of a birthday celebration! I was very disappointed. The automatic 18% tip was added to the bill and I don't think it was deserved. I felt very rushed and did not get to enjoy my meal at all. My husband was even more disappointed. We eat out a lot at Disney and have never experienced this kind of service at any restaurant let alone a fairly expensive one! Never again!

Captain Cook's is a nice restaurant. It has good food and an overall good feel. I always get the grilled chicken sandwich which is great! The chicken was perfect!
However, the wait was the only concern. It was around 8ish PM and it was pretty crowded. While waiting in line (which was pretty long) we noticed there was little-to-no seats in the place. However, we discovered there was outside seating, and that is now where we will sit every time!
