Nothing bad to say! This is such a great restaurant! Food was excellent, staff was great, and most of all the food was wonderful. There was a nice, open dining room with AC and we were nearly the only ones in there at about 1:30 PM!
I had the strip steak and it was fantastic! Would recommend this to anyone!

First day back home and I already can't wait to go back. That's the power of Disney when you have a very comfortable house with dogs, smart tvs, and amazing wi-fi and you want to go back immediately. So let me tell you why.
We arrived last Monday, May 9. Our room was all set but when I received the email about our room, I noticed none of our requests were met. I proceeded to ask the front desk if there was anything they could do about it but unfortunately, there wasn't. I wasn't happy about it but I was resolved to enjoy myself. After all, I knew they were just requests and really, any room in Dixie Landings is fantastic.
We were situated in room 8909 in Magnolia Terrace. It has a view of one of the quiet pools and is actually really close to the lobby. I think it was a roughly seven minute walk which was great. The streak continued this year with great rooms.
When we weren't at the parks, Disney Springs or touring the vacation club, we were relaxing at the resort. Our quiet pool was perfect, aside from how deep it was. It was hardly ever busy and was so relaxing, it was almost criminal.
The food court was incredibly busy but I was expecting that so I tried to avoid the busiest times. If you haven't tried the turkey with mash potatoes, gravy and corn, you are missing out! The turkey is moist and delicious and the mash potatoes! Oh, the mash potatoes! I was not expecting how delicious they were and I went back several times just for those mash potatoes. Delicious.
Overall, you need to stay here at least once. If you don't, you are severely missing out.

We ate here OOP on June 1. DS11 had chicken wings with a side of fries, DH for an oriental chicken salad and I got the chicken marsala. It was a rainy evening and we got in before the rush. We were seated on the entrance level. The food was good and servings decent in size. The noise level was just too loud but we know that. DS11 says next time we should pass because of the noise. We passed on dessert because we were full. Next trip we will pass.

We have been DVC members since the kids were little, and always loved Disney, but my husband and I really wanted to take a trip with child care so we could spend time working out together everyday without the kids. We had a child that would be 13 and is on the autism spectrum and we had trouble finding a place that would watch her. We wanted to see if a Disney Cruise would work. Â
Â
When I called to book my Disney Cruise, I had a 12, 11 and 5 year old. They would be 13, 11 and 6 in July when we cruised. My 13 year old has sensory integration disorder and some other issues. I asked if she would be able to be with her sisters in the Oceaneer Lab/Club since I didn't think she would like the Edge. I was told she would be able to go to a club for younger kids, but the younger kids could not move up.Â
When we went to register the kids and pay the balance my husband was told he could not register the oldest kid, but she would be allowed in the club if there was room.Â
Then after we paid over $6000 we got to the ship and we were told she would not be allowed in the club unless it was an open house. When we saw the open house we were told that they were not responsible for watching any of the kids including my 6 year old and it is completely unsupervised at those times. The people booking the reservations and taking our money clearly lied to us. I complained about this on the ship, but they had me wait 30 minutes to see they could do, and then only confirmed the policy repeatedly. They told me they would file a complaint and I would be called by DCL after I got home, but no one ever called me. Â
Â
They told us to take our 13 year old to the edge, but both the 13 year old and 11 year old hated it. I think it would be very good for kids who just wanted to sit around and play video games, but that is not something my girls are interested in. Neither would stay. During the cruise we spoke with several other kids, and it seems that the majority of the kids 10+ did not like the Edge. Kids who lived video games loved it.Â
Â
This was the worst and most expensive vacation that I ever had, and if I had been told the truth when booking I never would have booked it. The kids liked the aquaduck, but the pool had all kinds of stuff floating in it and was very dirty. There is no playground. The only place for my 13 year old to exercise is walking loop. She was pretty miserable the hole time, and my kids just kept asking when we could leave. We felt trapped on the ship. I was never even able to see the adult only section since I never had supervised child care.Â
Â
We spent 2 nights at Old Key West beforehand and everyone had an excellent time. We would have been so much happier there, had so much more room to move around, and more to do. The cruise was a huge waste of money, and I truly believe the booking agent pulled a bait and switch.

We ate here 3 times during our recent visit (Oct. 25th - Nov. 2nd). Our Disney vacation is started and ended with a dinner here. We always request to be seated with Andrea as our server. Saying she is wonderful is an understatement. The menu had changed and her knowledge of the entrees' was amazing, along with her picks from the wine list. The food was very good, along with portion size. Can't wait to go back next year.

Overall, this is a fine restaurant. There are some average dishes such as the orange chicken, dumplings, lo mein, and miso soup. There are also a few above average selections including their sushi (not as good as Kimono's but solid) and the duck "nasi goreng." And then there have been two notable entrees--the Kung Pao chicken and most especially the buri bop, one of my favorite dishes in the World. Service has been adequate to good, and it's certainly an appealingly refreshing change of venue from most restaurants. Overall, I recommend it, but don't expect perfection in every dish.

We ate here Oct. 26th for lunch, and found out they had just changed their menu that day. Very little choice of entrees, but they were now offering the all you can eat Pilgrims Feast that they serve at dinner time. My sister and I decided to go with that, seeing the place was busy and we had it before and knew that it was very good. Our waitress brought us our drinks, rolls and salad within 10 minutes and that's where it started to go all wrong. She disappeared! A large table(8) next to us had requested some refills on their dinner and she didn't return for 25 min, as she walked past us she said our lunch was "right behind her. We weren't sure what that meant because another 25 minutes went by that we didn't see her and finally a waiter brought out our lunch. Our reservation was at 1:20, we got seated at 1:30 and didn't leave until 3:30. The food was good, but this is the same thing that is served every night on their dinner menu so I still don't know what the hold up was. It would have been nice if our waitress or someone would have taken the time to stop at our table and let us know what was going on instead of feeling like we were just plain forgotten about. For that reason, I won't go back.

Ate here Oct 27th for lunch. We ordered the baked potato with beef. VERY good...the potato was huge, with a large dollop of sour cream on top. The beef was tender and very lean. First time eating here, and we will be back. The only negative is the outdoor seating....you have to not be afraid to ask someone if you can share their table, they are hard to come by.

Had breakfast here during my latest vacation (Oct. 25th - Nov. 2nd). The food was good, but I would rather eat here for dinner options. I didn't feel the price was worth it. The menu wasn't that big and I feel I could get a lot of the same things at other locations on property. I'm glad I tried it, but I will be back at dinner time only.

I was very anxious to try the cupcakes here and stopped in Oct. 29th. Disappointed ! The cupcakes were good, but nothing special...cupcakes at other locations are decorated so cute that you feel it's worth the price, these were very plain with very sweet frosting. I also tried the salted oatmeal cookie, which looked wonderful, but it had so much salt on it that it overpowered the flavor and tasted almost bitter...I couldn't eat it. I'm glad I tried Sprinkles but it's not somewhere I would need to visit each time I come to Disney.
