2nd time we have done this.
Kids and parents really enjoyed it yet again. The food is very good (cornbread especially) with the exception of the ribs. Unlimited beer and sangria is nice touch.
This time we had tier 1 seating and our table was right up against the stage. Really felt like we were part of the show. Cast is new and younger but still very funny.
The key to this is you have to go in with an open mind and understand this is a corny hee-haw style show.
Lots of fun!

We thought the service was very adequate if not overly friendly. I actually prefer this but can understand why others would be put off a bit.
The food was excellent! Pork flat bread was very good. Sea Scallops and filet were to die for. Creme Brûlée was the best we ever had.
The view outside on the deck made our night. Most unique view of Wishes in all of WDW.
The pacing of dinner was just right. Wine selection is superb.
A great night out...

Just returned from 10 day vacation at Poly studio. This is a beautiful location & I am so happy that DVC has added to our choices!! The studio is very spacious, we were 2 adults, a 14yo & 11yo no issues with storage plenty of room to store luggage & we had 4 suitcases & 2 golf bags Loved the split bathroom which gave us plenty of time to get ready!! Transportation was very easy, we were in Morea bldg. so short walk to TTC and 5 minute to main bldg. Took monorail to MK to change to bus when going to other resorts at night for dinner & returning just as easy as back to MK then hop on monorail. The only thing I thought at first would be an issue is our room was near the ferry dock & the horn starts early but after 1st day I didn't notice & missed that sound when I came home!!
I would highly recommend this location & cant wait to go back!!!

We had a Family Suite: DH, DD (age 10), MIL, Mom, & myself. The room was clean, plenty of room. If someone wants to take more than one shower per day, you will need to ask for more towels. We had just enough to get us through each day.
All CM's were friendly & helpful. They were able to answer any questions we had. We never waited more than five minutes for a bus from the resort. The food court had plenty to choose from & it was all good, but it could get crowded.
The pool was nice & we watched a movie & DD did pin trading by the pool one night. She also did pin trading on the board in the lobby one afternoon. We had to ask about it & the CM brought the board out for her to look over. At the pool, the CM was there throughout most of the movie.

We've done this breakfast before & enjoyed it more the first time. This time, the biscuit & gravy wasn't good. The tables were very close together. The CMs were great, characters came around quickly.

We've always enjoyed this place. The antipasto salad was very good. The cupcakes were also good, but way too much after the large salad. The pizzas were good, as always. We did eat upstairs, where it isn't as crowded. There is an elevator up to it & restrooms on that floor as well. The line is always long, but it moves quickly.
Pros:
Great Antipasto SaladCons:

We've never gone before because I wasn't impressed with the reviews. We were there on a star wars weekend so we were able to book a jedi dinner with mickey. I don't think I would do this restaurant again for any reason. We arrived and checked in outside. We were given a buzzer. Once that went off we were given a piece of paper and placed into a line outside. Then we were led in for our pics with mickey right inside the door. Then there was no one to seat us and we had to ask. She then sat us no problem. I think maybe she was overwhelmed. Our waiter was great. He cleared plates and brought drinks without us asking. he explained the path of the characters. We were the second table. We saw Minnie chip dale Donald all except goofy. Goofy skipped our whole section. Finally I asked if he would be coming before starting the other side of the room or if we'd have to cycle through again. Once they realized the whole section was missed they brought him over before heading to the other side. He missed 6 tables. The food was below average. I will say there were two things that stood out that I didn't see at other restaurants/buffets. There was tomato/mozzarella with balsamic and lobster/shrimp mac and cheese. Oh the also had a spice bbq meatball. Everything else was meh. Nothing special about desserts other than start wars themed names. I don't need to do it again at all. Enjoyed the characters without having to be in long lines but just average at best.

We enjoyed it so much, we ate here twice in one trip. DH & I had bbq sandwich combo & DD had chicken nugget combo. They were very good & DD had more nuggets that she would eat: that's saying something! We had short waits at Bay 3. We enjoyed Sunny Eclipse. I thought the toppings bar was very good. The best part of the very good meal was the sugar free mango gelato. I am a chocolate lover, but the mango was better than the chocolate. We have a new favorite CS in MK.

We have done this meal before and the food was really good. We booked this dinner for the Fantasmic Package. It just so happened that it was during Star Wars Weekends & the meal became a character meal. We didn't care about that, but DH enjoyed it since he is a Star Wars fan.
There was cold water outside to drink for our hot wait to get in. We were rushed in to get the photo with Jedi Mickey and swiftly taken to our table. There we waited and waited for poor Ann, our waitress. She finally came & we rushed to the buffet in shifts so we wouldn't miss the characters. The only two things I liked were the meatballs & lobster mac n cheese. DH didn't find anything he liked. This was the only meal all week that DH complained about. It was soooo expensive because of the characters, who didn't hang around any longer that you were able to take a picture & get a signature. I like them to come fast and be done, but this was even too quick for my liking. If we had been on DDP, I wouldn't have minded so much, but OOP it was rediculous. I wouldn't recommend unless you are just dying to see the characters dressed in Star Wars attire.

The lines can get long when it's busy. Create your own burger was really good. CM helped us turn our last CS credit into 3 snack credits on our last morning after breakfast.
