Review of Contemporary Resort (Deluxe Resort)

We stayed in a Garden Wing room and had a view of the main building and could see the fireworks from Magic Kingdom. We had a short walk to the beach and the Bay pool. We could walk from our room to the main building under cover during inclement weather. We had dinner twice at the Contempo Cafe and we were all pleased with our selections. It was great to be able to just walk to the Magic Kingdom. The gift shop had some of the same treats as the Main Street Bakery. We had a car so we didn't use the bus transportation. The main pool was closed for refurbishment and the Bay pool is very small so it was crowded every day. It would have been nice to use the Bay Lake Tower pool. Two buildings using that small pool was very inconvenient. We had a connecting room but we weren't staying with the people attached. You hear EVERYTHING through those two doors. We never heard the people on the wall side, but the family next to us in the connecting room was loud and rude. Calls to the front desk and knocking on their door went unanswered.

Pros:

Short walk to MK. Easy walk from room to main building. Great baked goods in the gift shop. Good quick service meals.

Cons:

Connecting rooms are noisy. When main pool is closed, the other pool is too small for both buildings.

We last ate here in Sept 2022 and really enjoyed our meal. BUT since then we noticed they really streamlined the menu and removedsny of the items we used to order and enjoy! Hoping they put the Salmon back on and the English Truffle.

Pros:

The atmosphere

Cons:

The recent menu changes!!!!

Review of Teppan Edo - Japan

I realize that everyone's experience at this restaurant may be different, but for us it was amazing! Our party of 6 had a table to ourselves. Our server and chef, Riko and Masayoshi, were very fun and engaging - Riko even gave us an origami memento for our first visit. The food was excellent - my wife said the salmon was the best she's ever had, and I enjoyed the shrimp. My kids loved the steak and the sushi. It was easily our best dining experience during our 5-day trip to Disney World. We can hardly wait to go back to Teppan Edo again!

Pros:

Everything was amazing!

Cons:

Nothing!

Review of Sailing Ship Columbia

The Sailing Ship Columbia was a treat to ride! It is much like the Mark Twin Riverboat in its sailing around Tom Sawyer Island. The ride is perfectly timed so you can enjoy the scenery as well as exploring the recreated sailors quarters below deck. Below deck is something of a museum, displaying sailor life with items that they used. Sea shanties and tunes are played throughout the voyage and contributed to the engaging atmosphere. The ship itself is impressive and fun to be on. The Sailing Ship Columbia is not open much (open seasonally and on weekends), so if it is open and you are wanting to experience it, seize the moment!

Pros:

Extremely immersive and informative throughout the ship. This attraction is on the calm side, having a much slower pace than many other attractions. The scenery of the ship and Frontierland is also enjoyable.

Cons:

Limited seating and shade above deck. No air conditioning. Young children may find the ride boring if they enjoy faster paced attractions.

Works very well if you do your research. Even though it's expensive and a hastle, you can skip big lines. In my experience, it has worked very well with me. I usually use this service everyday and I love skipping lines. I watched many tutorials and it went very smoothly, even with a party of 8. Using it allowed my party to see shows, have table service meals, and enjoy other small things. Overall, I would mostly recommend this service to anyone, especially if this is your only time going to Disney.

Pros:

Can skip big lines Let's you have a relaxed day You can enjoy many other experiences instead of waiting on lines Leaves time for table service meals (if you care about them)

Cons:

Sometimes expensive A hard system to navigate Can be hard to keep track if when to book, when to ride, etc You could be on your phone a lot

It was not worth the time or money! We had a variety of special diet needs, one of them a gluten free roll for the sandwich. This might be the worst sandwich experience ever...odd tasting, not especially hot or delicious, the fries on the side were limp and flavorless. I expected better, as the last time I visited this location,it was to enjoy the Wave. (RIP Wave)

Pros:

easy location to find

Cons:

food was subpar, didn't taste fresh, it felt like a cheap counter service experience at a table service cost.

We just completed our 5 day trip to Disney World. I have been going there since the park first opened and must say this trip will sadly be my last. The magic is truly gone. I purchased Genie + for my family of 8 for almost $200 for one day. I was able to book one ride (Pirates of the Caribbean) at 7 am. Every time after that I had to call the helpline as the app was not working properly. I spent a total of almost 40 minutes on the phone. We were able to get on Dumbo and the Ariel ride. The woman who helped me offered me those two rides as they were available and fairly close to one another. They acknowledged my app was not working correctly and told me to go to Guest Services. So, another twenty minutes was wasted. The representative told me that all I could expect from Genie + was two or three rides and I was lucky that I had been able to book three. When I informed him that certainly Dumbo and Ariel didn't qualify as high value rides and I only was able to get those because I had to waste my vacation time calling, he was not concerned. I explained that the app was not working, didn't let me book what I wanted and I felt that the nearly $200 I spent in addition to my ticket (about $140 per person each day). He begrudgingly offered me one lightening pass per person for the following day. I vowed never to buy Genie + again, but my son bought it for the next day. He too had trouble with the app and was only able to get one ride. I have an iPhone he has a Samsung. He also complained and received no compensation. He had only purchased it for 4 people, so he was only out an additional $100.

Pros:

None

Cons:

App did not work
