Our family has stayed at this resort three times, and we love it. It has been quiet and uncrowned each time. We consider it a hidden gem! Pool and water slide are fantastic. QS Peppermarket is an excellent value on the meal plan. I would recommend paying for a preferred room. We did that this trip and found we were the first on the buses for parks and the first off...we always had a seat! I highly recommend this resort.

Flame tree is an excellent value for a QS credit. You can get a combo plate of chicken and ribs with beans and cornbread along with your drink and dessert! The kids menu has nice options as well. The only drawback is crowded outdoor seating in warmer months, but head down to the water's edge and you'll get a seat and a view!

I love this restaurant. Food is consistently delicious and service is always so friendly. It was very crowded and thus noisy in our recent visit. We were cramped at our table and couldn't hear each other. Try to go at an off time...it's worth it's!

Food was excellent...wonderful variety. Carving station, butternut squash ravioli, Mongolian beef, shrimp, etc. delicious. We were disappointed in th character experience though. Charming was great but Cinderella and one of the stepsisters barely lingered at our table. Of all of the characters, Anastasia was the only one to acknowledge our 15 month old, who was in awe of them. It was fun to meet these characters, I just wish it hadn't been so rushed.

My family's favorite QS restaurant at MK. Food is consistent with excellent flavor. My daughter says they have the best chicken nuggets as well (and they're real chicken!). Always crowded, but cast members do a great job managing it.

We have taken part in many character meals throughout WDW and this was the best experience by far. Food was excellent...I dream of the stuffed French toast and hash brown casserole! But the characters made it special. They spent a good amount of time with each table, with individual interactions with the kids. It was busy, so service wasn't the best in terms of refills and clearing plates, but who cares. We will treasure these memories!

The roasted chicken with veggies, potatoes, and cornbread was plentiful and delicious, though the man in front of me had to ask for the bread which led to a lengthy search around the restaurant. I do miss the steak that used to be an option here, but still a great value for a QS credit.

We did the DDP for the first time recently, since we got it free. It was so nice to eat at many restaurants we wouldn't consider when paying out of pocket. But that aside, it's great that so many character meals are included as well as buffets, which is great for families with kids under three who eat at no cost. I would crunch the numbers, but if you're considering the QS plan and a couple of character meals out of pocket, this might work better. My only complaint was that we're so rigidly tied to the schedule since you San no longer witch reservations day-of. I would book at hotels for the most part next time, so there's more flexibility with which park you visit before and after.

The sirloin was tremendous and the bread warm and sweet. Creme brûlée superb. Kids meal also got the thumbs up. An excellent experience!
