Party of 9 celebrated my birthday on August 8, 2015 at California Grill. Service was wonderful - food was excellent. Everyone in the party enjoyed the meal.
They brought a small birthday cake to the table and then sliced it into 9 pieces for everyone - no charge. We each had already ordered desserts which were delicious.
The view outside was really nice and we all enjoyed the night breeze and views.
I don't have one negative thing to say about this restaurant. Service, food, wine - everything was exceptional and I really enjoyed my birthday dinner.
Pros:
Service and food greatCons:

9 of us spend 3 nights in August 2015 in a villa at BLT. We were in an end unit and could see both the Magic Kingdom fireworks and a lovely view of Bay Lake.
The room was beautiful and everyone was very comfortable as we had plenty of room. The staff was great, the resort was very clean.
The BLT pool is really nice and we used it daily to take a break from the heat.
Would recommend BLT without hesitation.

Convenience to parks and cleanlinessCons:

This was our 2nd trip to Chef Mickey's & sadly, our last! The food was absolutely terrible! If you want a Character experience, try Akershus Princess meals at Epcot or Cinderella's Royal Table. Be Our Guest at Magic Kingdom is not a character meal, but Beast is there to have pictures taken with & it is the best food in all of Disney! The characters were great here, but the food is not worth the price!
Pros:
Staff was great, Kids enjoyed CharactersCons:

After reading the other reviews, I felt I must take time to post a more recent review. We were hesitant to eat here because of other reviews. But, we were staying at CBR & it was our last night. We were all tired & didn't feel like going anywhere else. Made a reservation & were glad we did! We were seated exactly at our reservation time. Waiter took our drink order and returned pretty fast. Placed our food order & food came out fairly quick. I had the Banana Crusted Mahi Mahi & it was delicious! My daughter had the steak & enjoyed her's as well. The waiter came back often & if we stay at CBR again, we will eat here again.
Pros:
Friendly, Fast Service, Great FoodCons:

Party of 7 first time to this restaurant - really enjoyed our meal. Food was very good and they kept it coming. Salad was delish, turkey was yummy, dessert was really good. Everyone tried different meats and the fish and everyone like everything.
2 kids in our party loved the characters and spent a good amount of time for photos. Super nice servers and kept our glasses and plates full.
Love the rotation of the restaurant - slow but perfect. Loved the Garden Grill will be back.

Party of 9 ate dinner at Trails End on 08/07/2015. Nice boat ride from the Contemporary. The dinner buffet was loaded with good food. Everyone raved about their food even the kids enjoyed their food. Desserts really good too.
Short wait but the activities in front of the restaurant kept the kids happy while us older folks sat on the porch in the rocking chairs.
Great experience.

I have always loved the Poly and am super excited that it is a part of DVC! I lucked out and was able to book 3 nights in the middle of August in a standard view studio. I requested and received the 3rd floor. We were in the Pago Pago building, which is the closest to the parking lot and the TTC. We were 2 adults, a 13 yr old and a 7 yr old. The size of the room is awesome. Even with the murphy bed and the sofa out, I still felt I had room. The split bathroom is fantastic and HUGE! I can't wait until the rest of the DVC renovations are done at Poly, including the pool area so that there is access to another, closer pool. Pago Pago is the first building off the path to the TTC, and it was more convenient to walk there to take the monorail or the ferry to MK. I actually enjoyed it more than the Grand Floridian Studio, which I also liked and stayed at during our recent vacation.
Pros:
size of room, split bathroom, close to TTCCons:

I used vacation club points for a one bedroom for the two full baths. The rooms were well set up. We didn't ask for a Savannah view but all rooms seem to have beautiful animals walking around the property.
The Maji Pool bar had low quality counter service.
You are only a few minutes drive from large shopping areas off property so if you didn't want to pay high Disney meal prices, there were so many choices just down the street (if you have a car)
The underground parking was awesome for those late afternoon thunderstorms.
Pros:
Rooms, friednly employees, undeground parking, proximity to off property servicesCons:

So good and only high calorie if you make it that way. There were so many choices you didn't' have to eat greasy breakfast meats and eggs if you did not want to.
