We use Garden Grocer every year when we travel to Disney World. Every order arrives on time with no problems. They let you know when your order has arrived at your resort so you can pick it up or have bell hop deliver to your room. We will definitley use them again next trip.

This was our first time trying Be Our Guest. I had the Croque Monsieur (ham and cheese) sandwich. It was so so good. My husband had the carved turkey and liked my sandwich much much better. The french onion soup there is also very very good. The only reason I did not rate it a 10 is because of the long line to get it. While is was not extremely long, it did feel like we waited on the inside line for awhile. I really liked that we got to choose where to sit. Although my daugher picked out the table by the rose which meant constant people on our backs waiting their turn to take a picutre while we were trying to eat. And lastly, not really a fan of the hostess having each family roar to enter as well. Not sure if its something they do all the time or if it was just our hostess. We will be back here next year for sure if we are able to snag a reservation.

We have dined at Hollywood & Vine before but it has been quite a few years until we finally decided to go back. I've read some bad reviews for here, but I must say this is our new favorite breakfast buffet. My son who is extremely picky found so many different foods here that he loved. I don't think I have ever seen him eat so much. This is a must do for our next trip. The characters were great as well. The kids are not into Disney Junior anymore as they are 8 and 12 years old but still had a lot of fun with them.

Food here was good. I had the chicken campanelle which was delicious. My husband and niece had the chicken parm and both liked their food. My daughter had the steak and said it was just ok. Mama Melrose is not a favorite of our family, but we do like it there.

We love Tusker House breakfast because there are so many different food choices. Everything our group had was very good. Characters were great. I liked that we did not feel rushed like some other restraunts in Disney.

We actually ate here for brunch, but there is nowhere to review brunch yet so I figured here will be good. The last time we ate at Chef Mickey the food was just ok. But this time, we really enjoyed the brunch. You still have plenty of breakfast foods and lunch items as well. My son who is very picky loved it here. The characters were great as well. This is a must do on our next trip.

This was our first time eating here. Not sure why we never picked to eat here before after 20+ trips, but I am glad we did. I had the caprese flat bread and though it was very good. It was busy in there but the lines moved pretty quickly. Everyone enjoyed their meal.

I have wanted to try Whispering Canyon for a few years. We finally gave it a try this year and we all enjoyed it. It was fun to watch everything that went on here. My daughter and I had the steak which was good and my husband had the all you can eat skillet and loved it. Will be back next year.

Ohana used to be a favorite for me. Honestly, the only reason I still go there is because the kids like it there. Don't get me wrong, the food is good, but what is up with the rushing? I feel like they are pretty much throwing the food at you then rushing to get you out of there. It has been like this the past 2-3 years. I will say our waitress was very very nice this trip unlike last year. I'm sure we will back next year.

French Qtr is our go to resort. We absolutely love it there. We have stayed at other resorts but this is by far our favorite. We usually request building 4 but this trip we decided to try the pool view. We had a room on the second floor in building 5. We loved it. Our room was spotless when we arrived. Our housekeeper was great. We had the same lady almost everyday. The one day it was not her, our room was barely cleaned. The resort is quiet and small which is nice.
The food court was good. Just wish they would change it up a bit. We were there for 2 weeks and the menu did not change. The create your own salad was our go to food choice. Every staff member we encounted were friendly and very helpful.
For 2 weeks, we never waited more than 5 minutes for a bus leaving the resort. Not once did we pick up at Riverside either which was different from past trips. We did share with Riverside coming home which makes the busses a little more crowded but that is not a big deal. Never waited more than 10 minutes for a bus back to FQ.
We love the pool. I am personally not a fan of the games and the host speaking loudly into the microphone for hours but the kids like it. That is the one thing I wish Disney resorts never started doing.
We took the boat to Downtown Disney a few times. Such a nice relaxing boat ride.
We have only been back home for 2 weeks and I am already planning our next trip for FQ. I can't wait to get back to my second home!!!
