The food and wine pairing at Spice Roads in Morocco is always great. This one may be the best ever. It is a complete 4 course meal.
After check in, we were greeted with a flute of sparkling wine. The first course was shrimp in a thin sauce with corn paired with a delicious white wine. I am sorry I did not keep the menu so I cannot tell you exactly what the wines were. I restrained myself from licking the dish.
The second course was incredible, a spicy tuna with veggies. The tuna was perfect, seared on the outside, raw in the middle, and just melted in your mouth. It was just a bit spicy and paired perfectly with a lovely rose wine.
The third course was roast lamb paired with a red wine. The wines were generous pours. I remember loving the pairing, but I think all the wine interfered with my memory of it!
Finally, dessert was chocolate baklava accompanied by a dessert wine. A perfect ending to a wonderful meal.
In my opinion, this is the best deal at Disney! It will save you money on dinner......you won't want any! Don't miss it!
Pros:
Fantastic food, wine, pairingsCons:

We enjoyed Morimoto Asia's Adventures in Signature Dining on September 19. It was held upstairs in the side room. Each of four courses was a "battle" with two food preps and two drinks. The courses were mackeral, snapper, spice, and ramen. The spice was between wagyu beef and pork belly. The food was served with either a beer or a sake. There was a very wide variety of everything, and tons of food to eat! There were some very unusual sakes! They went all out to please us!
Pros:
Great concept, excellent foodCons:

I am disappointed that the meat courses always taste so salty! Most chefs I've read about say the salt itself should not be noticed. And many of us are watching our blood pressure. There are too many alcoholic beverages! If people can't drink responsibly then cut back on how many choices are offered. And I'm shocked at how many people forget they are at a family venue and act disorderly. The prices are getting a little bit out of control, too. The whole event lasts too long, and Disney is putting too many food booths at too many of their other festivals! It really doesn't feel very special anymore! Each year I am less enchanted with the idea of the food booths, although I usually love to eat!
Pros:
Interesting food choicesCons:

My wife and I have stayed at Walt Disney resorts over 40 times. We have eaten at many restaurants both in the parks and at the resorts. Unfortunately this experience was one of the worst food experiences I’ve ever had at Disney. The chicken and pork or both extremely tough and chewy. The selection of gluten free options for my wife were limited at best. I felt the selection for a high dollar buffet was one of the poorest I’ve ever experienced at a Disney buffet. Even the desert choices were definitely not up to Disney standards.
While I know and appreciate this was a character dinner, the amount of incessantly crying babies was beyond even the normal for a Disney buffet. The parents in our dining room were happy just to let their children scream in their chair while they continued eating.
One positive note, the Merlot wine from South Africa was an excellent choice I would highly recommend It.
Pros:
Had a great waiter and excellent wine choiceCons:

We are DVC members and stayed 2 connecting studios 9/21-25 requested Tokeleu 3rd floor received ground floor #1913,1914. We arrived early rooms not ready so went to Epcot. Recieved email around 4pm rooms ready. Arrived back at resort after 9pm Luggage was there but not carry ons left at Bell Services. Room #1914 had an odor which once thought it was cigarette smoke so since my ds girlfriend has asthma we both went to front desk to alert them of situation. We were there approx 1 hour discussing options which were to have housekeeping come clean and they tried to find another room but since the hurricane alot of people were rescheduling their plans so all of DW was booked. They said that something would be avaiable the next day, while this discussion was going on another manager came over and asked room # and stated the the two rooms above ours were complaining the same smell. Head of housekeeping came as well as manager and we all came to conclusion that it was more of a mildew smell not smoke. They still cleaned and said they would shampoo carpets the next day. The manager said since we were not giving them a hard time and being reasonable they would like to compensate us. I explained that we used DVC points and they offered to refund those. That would have been great except our points would end up expiring since we have a Dec UY. so instead they comped us 1 night for each room monetary. Which ended up being over $500. They put it on our room credit which we used for F & W credits. This was truly amazing of them and not expected. The next day we came back with a puddle of water in the bathroom coming from the vent which we alerted front desk since we think that is where the smell was coming from and they quickly came and cleaned the area. We had no additional issues and the smell of the resort is very flowery so always had a nice smell. We loved using the monorail and boats and hardly had any waits. We used the walking path to TTC which only took 5 minutes and then you only had to use security checklines once. This is our home resort and look forward to returning. Only complaint We would goto quiet pools after returning from parks and the pool bar was always closed. This would be at 10pm I wish they would stayed open later. No issues with bugs, noise, boat horns etc. Loved it....
Pros:
Location, monorail, boat, quietnessCons:

Overall it was a great ride one of the best we experienced at Disney. If the line-ups weren't so long I would do it over and over again. Unfortunately, we were unable to get fast passes. We had to wait 90 - 120 minutes first thing in the morning. We did it twice and both times in the morning. On our last day the plan was to do it at night as well, but my 9 year old was feeling tired. We did get to see Pandora at night, which is beautiful I might add.
Pros:
In my opinion this was by far the best ride at disney for me. I'm not a fan of roller coasters, but this was just enough trill for me and my family.Cons:
Size limitations should be posted. I had a young girl sitting next to me crying because her father was either to large/tall to fit on the bike. Her mother stayed with her, but it was sad to see someone crying at Disney.Review of Restaurantosaurus

While this location offers mostly typical theme park fare, it is spacious, the lines move quickly, and the food is fresh and hot.
We had a vegetarian in our party, and she really liked the vegetarian burger that was offered.

We ate her 9/22 party of 6 checked in about 10 min early and was seated with another couple. They were young and celebrating anniversary and I don't think knew that they would be sitting with another family so they kept to themselves and we respected their privacy. Our waitress came and got our drink orders and we went to stand in the long line at buffet. I have eaten here before and it was ok but my ds girlfriend was with us and has never ate here so she wanted to try it. Again the food was ok it took forever to get through the line and heaven forbid if you forgot anything because you would have to get in line again. This was the worse line I have ever had to wait in to get food. I was shocked at how the flow was moving. The entertainment was ok but didn't last long and they took a break. I remember the show lasting longer and they playing more songs. They played wedding songs not tradional German songs that they played int he past. Of course the kids enjoyed it and danced in the front. Our waitress never came around to refill drinks and other waitresses took our plates away. The price isn't worth it for us and this will probably be our last time going here for awhile. We are DVC & AP members so come to DW freqently and still have many restaurants to try yet.

Ate her 9/23 spent the day at HS then walked over to Epcot which is about a 15 min walk. It had started to sprinkle a little as we checked in and was taken immediately. The restaurant was empty at 4:30. Our waiter came quickly and we ordered drinks. My ds girlfriend has nut allergy which we told waiter. We were also celebrating anniversary and ms son bday. This was our 2nd time eating here and really love the atmosphere. It is pretty and romantic. We ordered steaks and seafood. We also ordered french onion soup, lobster bisque and bacon salads first. Everything was delicious. Chef came out and talked to girlfriend about allergy and gave her all food options available. She chose steak but didn't want green beans so they gave her extra scalloped potatoes which is what I wish I did. They were tasty. They came and sang happy bd to my son and we all ordered desserts. It was a joyful meal and will always keep this in mind when returning. We are DVC & AP members so visit frequently and want to try places haven't eaten yet. Kudos to the waitstaff as sometimes they get a bad rap and not being nice and we have never encountered this here....

We ordered the chicken and ribs combo. The chicken was fine, but my husband wasn't overly impressed with the ribs. I've had better meals at that price point.
