Had breakfast at the Trattoria al Forno on 12/6/2016. Every one of the 4 of us had something different and all of us were happy. My wife had a the Breakfast Pizza and she said it was excellent. The pressed pot of coffee was very good. This change was a step up unlike the pressed pot at the Kona café.
Pros:
Good selection of breakfast food, very differentCons:

Had Breakfast at the Kona Café on 12/10 and 12/11/16. Had Macadamia Pineapple pancakes and Big Kahuna. Great as always. (the pressed pot of coffee terrible, quality went down, price went up. On 12/11/2016 the last day of my trip there was a place card on my table that said
"Welcome back Gullotti Ohana" it made my day and my trip
Pros:
Great foodCons:

My wife and I recently stayed here, 12/2 to12/10. As DVC members, this is our home resort and the first time staying here. We have stayed at Bay Lake Towers, The Boardwalk and Beach Club, all which were very nice.
This resort is nice and quiet. We had no problems with the bus transportation.
On our 3rd day there, upon returning to our room, I noticed I had lost my Magic Band. I went to the Registration Desk at 11:30 pm and explained the problem to Wendy, the night receptionist. She asked what color did I want and replaced it for me. Thank you Wendy!!
My wife and I both agree that we would stay there again.

Love this resorts location to parks. Nice Cast Members. Good price! Fewer children at this resort. When you are visiting Disney without children,this is nice. We made a request that was granted! Thank you! Food is just average(was better a few years back). If we are able to visit next year, more than likely we will be staying here!
Pros:
Moderate Price,Helpful Cast Members, Good Location,Not so many children!Cons:
Restaurant is congested! Garbage disposal is more than I want to think about on vacation!Reviewed by tinkiebell Review Date: 12/15/2016

This was our second stay in the DVC Studios. The location of our room this time was much nicer—only steps away from the new Oasis pool, in fact. Everything was properly stocked and clean. The beds are very comfortable, even the Murphy bed, which features an adorable mural of Lilo & Stitch (sacked out on a hammock on the beach—Stitch is drooling) and has its own little light. The Oasis pool made me want to do absolutely nothing else, including visit the parks. The lounges and other furnishings were dangerously comfy, there were shaded areas available, and relaxing Hawaiian music is piped in. You seriously feel like you are on an island somewhere. The Oasis pool has its own bar and grill but not activities, keeping it quiet as opposed to the noisy offerings at the Lava pool in the afternoons. I seriously could have spent my entire visit at the Oasis pool and in fact am planning to visit again to skip the parks and sit at the pool instead. We enjoyed our customary “monorail†shopping trip and were treated to seeing the gingerbread cottage in the Grand Floridian being assembled, not to mention the gingerbread samples they were giving out along with the talk about how it’s all done. I am disappointed, however, that it took so long to get into our room. I indicated our arrival time and arrived after it but we still had to wait several hours to get into our room. In addition, they would not do us the courtesy of allowing us to stay one additional hour before checking out. I just don’t understand what takes so long to turn over a room when you know a guest is waiting for it, in a building where not all the rooms get housekeeping every day and they by all appearances enforce the 11 am check out. Some flexibility in these areas would go a long way towards this guest’s satisfaction and as a long-time DVC member. I don’t think it’s an unreasonable request.
Pros:
location, ambianceCons:

My sister and I lunched here in April. I enjoyed my usual-Colony Chicken Salad. My sister, who is a pot roast fan-enjoyed her lunch but asked the waitress why they no longer served carrots in the pot roast. The waitress said someone determined they weren't a favorite so they cut them out. So the pot roast was just meat, some onion, potatoes and gravy. Still tasty but just not the same. The Ooey Gooey Toffee Cake was delicious-a first for my sister who ate a little of mine. She wanted Dole Whip which is where we headed when we left the restaurant.
Pros:
best Magic Kingdom lunchCons:

We visited PVH on a Sunday afternoon so you can imagine how busy the park was as I was craving a flatbread pizza. While it took time to get to the ordering station and then more time to get our food, it was served as quickly as possible given the busy time of day. The flatbreads we received were fresh and our order was correct. In fact, the staff made a last-minute substitution in our kids’ meal with a very cheerful and courteous manner. We scored a table at the windows overlooking It’s a Small World—it was a great respite from the crowded day.

I had lunch here in April anticipating pecorino wine and the small plate of pomodoro cavatappi. I got my wine (up $2 since my fall visit) but the menu had changed a lot. My pomodoro was gone and the only small plate pasta they were offering that day was a pasta with lamb ragu. I ordered it-it was good-put not pomodoro. I was given a full size dessert menu-not the usual mini desserts. The lemoncello panna cotta was good as was the cappuccino. Since I got home, I see the menu at Tutto Gusto has changed to basically the Tutto Italia menu. Not the nice little lunches anymore. Hope they keep the pecorino wine on the menu.
Pros:
pecorino wine and good foodCons:

My niece had never dined at Restaurant Marrakesh so this was a treat for both of us. It had been a long time since I ate here. We started with the goat cheese appetizer and cocktails. I let my niece order two entrees that we would share and she picked the chicken couscous and the fish tangine.
The couscous was good but the fish was fantastic.
We both said we'd order it again. We ended our meal with hot Moroccan mint tea which was the perfect ending to a perfect meal. Our waiter, the music and belly dancer and the restaurant itself added to our lovely evening. A couscous doggie bag followed my niece home!
