The food is great, big selection of normal "summer picnic" food such as burgers, hot dogs, ribs, lots of sides, desserts, and ice cream machine. The lines can get a bit long at peak lunch times, but that's to be expected. Seating is large picnic tables under pavillions. Usually don't have trouble finding seats, but if you're a small group or just two people, you may be asked to share your table. Overall a great experience and recharge to get back out there and enjoy the island!

We had dinner here on 3-19. Our 13 year old was excited about having her favorite -crab legs. Husband and I ordered crab cakes. For me they were the perfect size but hubby is a big eater so they were on the small side. He ended out sharing the crab legs. He had ordered the clam chowder and we order the shrimp for apps. The oreo brownie desert was the best. The cheesecake was good also. Dino was the best server. He was very informative and great interaction with us.

We stayed at Boardwalk from Mar 19 to Mar 24. When we came to check in my husband make a change. Raymond was helping us checkin and took the time to adjust our reservation. My husband wanted to switch to a accessible unit. Raymond spent the time redoing our original reservation to make the changes. We overlooked the pool and were able to see fireworks from Studios. The only downside was having to go all the way to the Bakery to get a soda. Weil be back. I loved being able to walk to Epcot and take a short boat ride to Studios.

We ate here twice and enjoyed everything we ate here. My kids had the chicken nuggets and fish. They really liked them. I tried a bite of the fish and it was really good. Their french fries were good too and I wished I had selected that instead of the vegetable. I did like the vegetable, it was green beans and it tasted like they were cooked fresh, so they were good. I got the shrimp the first time and the lobster roll the second time. Both of them were good but I think my favorite was the fish from my kids meals. Our other daughter got the salmon the first time. It had a great flavor, but was a little dry. I still liked it though.
There was very little line the first day. The second day it went out the door, but it moved quickly. They were very good at giving you a menu while you were in line and moving you though. There was plenty of seating as there is seating upstairs and downstairs. Good food. We would eat here again.

We have stayed at this resort hotel on previous visits, and have never been disappointed, and again had a good experience. We were here during spring break, and of course it was very busy. We had completed online check in, and it was so nice to just go directly to our room when we arrived. Our room looked as though it had been recently refurbished, and was very clean. We called for extra blankets and received them in a matter of minutes. We were frequently asked by cast members if we needed anything, and were always greeted by smiles and hellos. We never waited long for a bus, and they came frequently at this very busy time of year. We prefer the queue line used here for boarding busses as opposed to the frequent bus stops and chaos of some of the other resorts. The food court was always busy but was well staffed and there was always a place to sit. The food choices are not always very healthy and we eat here rarely as the food not always the best. Breakfast was good and plentiful. The pools were never crowded, and very refreshing. We encountered a lot of noise from various youth groups that were staying here, that is to be expected at the value resorts and varies of course if they are located near your room. We feel that saving money to stay here and then visiting other resorts is the best way to save money to use on food and other experiences. We will definitely stay here again!

We stayed in a Royal Room from March 23rd - 26th. The room theme was lovely. My daughter loved it! The location was quiet and just a walk across the bridge was the pool and food court. Our maid service could have been better. When we checked in, there was a dirty sock left on the air conditioner. No bags in the trash cans. There was a Mickey head made from towels on the bed. We must have had a different mousekeeper the 2nd day. Our end bed covers were made into a decorative twist. Our bath mat and towels were made into a seashell. There were bags in the cans. The next day, back to how it was when we arrived. We usually stay at a Value resort, but fell in love with Port Orleans. It was quiet and felt relaxing, even though it was a busy week. We used the food court at off times and never had a problem. Food and service was great. As much as we like the Values, we have found a new Disney home!

quiet, room close to food courtCons:

Have stayed at All Star Music many times over many years and enjoyed it greatly. One of the highlights of our visits has been the breakfast omlets. We bought them every time. However this April 2017, they are no longer available. If that continues to be the case, we will not stay at the All Star Music Resort again. However, all is not lost, the omlets are available at the All Star Sports Resort. We ate our breakfast there by taking a short walk across the parking lot. If the omlets are available next year at the All Star Sports Resort, we will be staying there.
Pros:
Great omlets, but no longer sold at All Star MusicCons:

This March was the second time I stayed at POR and it is now my favorite moderate. The rooms were really nice and didn't look worn out like other resorts. Love the whole theme and the grounds were beautiful.
Didn't spend much time at the food court(only to grab snacks) but did notice it was quite crowded at times.
The worst part of this resort is the buses! Horribly crowded!!! Never really waited long but we used the East Depot which was the 3rd stop and I was lucky to get a seat! By time it made it's way to the South Depot it was PACKED and could not handle everyone waiting at South Depot. If we ever go back to POR we will NEVER use the South Depot and will always make sure to put that on our list for room locations! No matter the time of day the South Depot was crazy packed with people waiting for buses! Love the resort but they need to fix the bus problem.
Pros:
beautiful grounds, friendly staff, boat to Disney SpringsCons:

This is the 1st we've eaten here since they switched to a Tex-Mex menu. My DS 14 & I each got nachos, DD 12 got macaroni & cheese. I liked that the nachos had both shredded & melted cheese (plastic cheese!). The beef had a good flavor but wasn't by too spicy. The restaurant offers a very large toppings bar that offers everything you would need to "fully load" your nacho. However, that doesn't mean everything will be available. I had to visit each station before I found a scoop of guacamole. It would be hard for even the best trained wait staff to stay on top of popular items like guacamole when people would fill the paper boats with it! It's almost like they didn't know other people were eating there. The macaroni is the basic cheesy kind offered at most Disney restaurants which my DD loves. There is pleanty of seating in the restaurant. I would recommend grabbing a table in a side dining room. It's quite & we found an outlet to charge phones right next to our table. It's a nice change from burgers & nuggets but don't expect fine Mexican food.

This was our first time to ever have breakfast in a park. We ended up being a little late due to transportation issues. However, we didn't lose our reservation and we didn't order before hand so we got to wait in line. My DS had Gaston's feast. I had the Croque Madame and my DD had the crossiant doughnut. I was really wanting to love this breakfast. We have eaten here for lunch & dinner, both of which were great experiences. This food was just not that good. Gaston's Feast was just your basic breakfast and had plenty of food but nothing special. The Corque Madame sounded wonderful & I have had them before but the ham & bread was tough. The sauce was delicious and went a l long way to saving this meal. The crossiant doughnut was not impressive. It too was tough! The crossiant doughnut was almost too sweet for my DD. The wait staff was fabulous! He brought our food right out and showed me where to get our drink.
I really felt like the food was not the quality I expected. I still would eat here for lunch or dinner but I won't rush back for breakfast. I'd rather pay a little more and eat at a character buffet. All that said, BOG is the best restaurant in MK and if all you can get is breakfast take it! The West Wing is worth it!
