Though we were served very quickly and efficiently, the walk from our table to get toppings felt like a much more realistic hike from the Caribbean to the American West than I would have liked. But, the walk was worth it for Guacamole.
Pros:
Taste of food and options on the toppings barCons:

Think twice before attending this event!!! It is too crowded! So crowded that you can't enjoy the park or the food. Really, it's a sea of people who are rude and drunk. Lines for the food are very long, and they often run out of food. After standing in line for 30 minutes for a tiny portion of food, you don't want to be told "we are out of that"! I thought the crowds would be less on a weekday, but Tuesday night was as crowded as Saturday night.
Stay away, miserable. Did I mention it was CROWDED?

We had lunch here on a recent trip because we are Landry's Club members and also have a gift card for any Landry's restaurant to use. We arrived about 11:30 on a Saturday and were able to get in quickly (we had the Landry's card for priority seating, but we didn't need it).
This was our first time here and we were very impressed by the theming of the restaurant. We were seated in the ice cave and it was really cool how it changed colors.
Our food was very good. I had the Paleozoic Chicken Sandwich (which is not actually a sandwich, but more of pita/wrap type thing) and it was very good, but messy. I ended up cutting it up and eating it with a fork. My husband had the burger and he said it was great. The seasoned waffle fries were so good. I told my husband that if we ever came back I was going to skip a sandwich and just order a plate of fries. We wanted to try the donuts for desert, but were too full from our sandwiches. Maybe next time.
We had a very attentive server and the manager stopped by to greet us and check on our meal.

We liked the food although some items could have been warmer. Had a nice array of items but not a large buffet. $23.99 but had passholder discount. Lovely server Giselle. She gave us a special made juice blend to try. My husband liked it. Everyone we encountered from valeting the car through the whole morning was just as gracious as could be. We are looking forward to trying lunch and dinner there. Nice quiet breakfast.

We just got back from our 4th stay at the Polynesian. We just love it there.
We spent more time at the resort this trip than we had before and it was great. Our room was on the 3rd floor or Rarotonga and the Oasis pool is just outside that building. We spent a ton of time at the pool/hot tub. The new zero entry pool is fantastic. We got several drinks from the bar and my husband had a burger from the Grill one afternoon that he said was great.
Our room was very clean and comfortable. We were the last room on the hall and so I think we were the last stop for housekeeping. My only complaint was that it was near 3 pm each day before our room was made up.
The Lobby, food court and shops were all great and all the Cast Members working in these places were friendly and helpful.
Transportation was excellent. We took the boat back and forth between Magic Kingdom. For Epcot we walked to the TTC and took the monorail. We took the bus to Disney Springs and the monorail from the Polynesian platform to the Contemporary for Breakfast one morning. We never waited more than 10 minutes for any transportation.
It was a fantastic stay and we have already booked to go back next year.

We love the PolynesianCons:

Let's get this out of the way to start-- this was the third time we've visited Victoria and Albert's (out of about a dozen Disney World vacations), and they've been the three most expensive meals of our lives. They've also been the three best and most memorable. We had to swallow hard in deciding to go this time, but we're quite glad we did. The food was as exquisite as it was innovative, the wine pairings were unbelievably perfect, and the service was the very definition of impeccable. The atmosphere was quiet and refined. (Caveat: we do not have children, and V and A's is decidedly not the place for them.) Everything was absolutely first-rate from start to finish.
What I've finally decided is that if you value truly fine food and drink, and you can manage the tab without crippling yourself financially, then you should absolutely dine at Victoria and Albert's at least once in your life.
Pros:
Incredible food, wine and serviceCons:

This was our 3rd time eating here. It is one of my husbands absolute favorite places to eat at Disney.
Our ADR was for 7:30. We checked in, got a buzzer and sat down on a bench - we were then paged immediately. We were seated with a family of 5, a single guy whose wife wasn't feeling well and went back to the hotel and then DH and I. Everyone we sat with were friendly and we chatted with them.
Our server was very efficient with drinks and clearing plates.
The food was good. We had been snacking at the Food and Wine Festival and I wasn't super hungry. The macaroni and cheese was the best thing on the buffet. I ate a huge serving of that. The meats were all good.
I was disappointed that the soup was tomato and not cheese like the last time we were there.

We ate here last month. Hubby had the meatloaf and I did the fried chicken. Both were really good. Unlike last year our server was not over the top when it came to the antics but she was prompt and attentive which is all we cared. Most of the entrees are on the heavy side. Would be nice if they had a sandwich or 2 , the only light entree is the caesar salad with salmon or chicken.
Next time we will do what we did 2 years ago and share the Mom's Favorites & the salad.
Pros:
Fried chicken and meatloafCons:

Got back a month ago from a 6 night stay. We were there during the foodcourt reno. Ate a few breakfasts there with no issues but we were the in before 8:00am. Bus service overall was very good. During rush hour there was a CM calling for extra buses when needed and letting people know what was coming next.
Room was in building 7 which was great as we go up to POR a few times a trip.The seperate boat to DS after 4:30 has been a huge improvement (been going since 1998 and this was visit # 10) Hopefully once they are done with the foodcourt, they will consider remodeling the lounge. Staff is fine but it isn't comfortable to hang out in. Fortunately the weather was good and the pool bars at POR and POFQ were open till 9:00 or more.Otherwise we'd have gone up to POR.
We had no issue with housekeeping but there were only 2 of us so we only needed one refill of shampoo, etc.
