Excellent from start to finish! Maybe my favorite meal of the vacation & we ate at some great spots throughout Epcot, Disney Springs & other WDW resorts. Highly recommend! Don’t miss the crabcake appetizer - excellent old bay remoulade- & 15 layer chocolate cake - perfect sweetness without being overpowering & perfect for 2 or 3 per slice.
Pros:
Excellent assortment of apps, entrees & desserts. Desserts large enough to share if not on a dining plan.Cons:

Pros:
Everyone else goes to this ride…and we enjoy the rest of DAK without waits.Cons:
Just don’t love a simulator ride at all. I didn’t go to Disney to watch a screen. Happy to go and enjoy the rest of Animal Kingdom while everyone else rope drops this.Review of Paradiso 37

Did not live up to past visits. Mains were tasty, but out of mint for Mojitos at 6:00pm on a Sunday evening? Mains arrived 5 minutes after appetizers arrived. Poor timing & waiter wished his hands of responsibility.
Pros:
Skirt steak was tasty & cooked to ordered temperature.Cons:
Did not honor prix fixe dinner & dining package with Cirque du Soleil. Waiter & hostess did not seem aware of the package although a special phone reservation had to be made for it. Luckily our hotel package included a discount card that they honored. Overall, a bad experience.Review of Mears Connect

Waited over an hour after checking in with Mears Connect. Our van driver came in and got into an argument with one of the young guys at the desk. Said he'd been waiting at terminal B for 40 minutes while we were at terminal C. They started yelling at each other and calling each other names all the while numerous Disney families are right there listening to it all. All in all it probably took 2 hours to get to our resort. I also have issue with the blatant sign asking for gratuities.
Pros:
Van was cleanCons:
Very unprofessional, long wait time, uninterested employees at Mears check in.Review of Activities for Families

All day, every day, there are different activities for the whole family to do on the Disney Magic! From game shows, to bingo, to trivia, to dance parties, to learning to draw, the Disney Magic has it all! Each night of our cruise we received an itinerary for the next day. And we never didn’t enjoy an activity! The Disney Magic kept us busy our whole cruise, and we really enjoyed our trip! One day, we even watched a baby crawling race! Definitely consider sailing on the Disney Magic!!!!!!!!

This restaurant is a must for Rapunzel lovers! The show was very nice, but sometimes the band was annoying because we were the table right in front of it. Everybody gets to meet Rapunzel, and also get pictures. If you don’t like Tangled, then this is not the place for you! If somebody in your family can’t handle loud noises, just make sure you notify the Cast Members so that you don’t get seated too close to the music. Overall, this restaurant was great! ??
Pros:
The show, the food, the dessert ?Cons:

This restaurant is just your average restaurant so that’s why I gave it a 5. It is very pretty, though, and is subtly themed to Beauty and the Beast. Don’t go out of your way to eat here! If you want to eat at Palo, or try room service dinner one night, this is the night to do it! The restaurant isn’t bad, you just won’t miss out on anything. Rapunzels Royal Table and Animators Palate were definitely more fun, but I totally get how sometimes you just dont want a big show, or just want to relax and have a quiet dinner! (Also, if you are a concierge guest, you can eat here on embarkation day for lunch! Just a heads-up. ? Cabanas can get crowded!)
Pros:
Quiet, pretty, food is good ??Cons:

I love this restaurant! The atmosphere is gorgeous! As you eat, screens show Disney characters being drawn, and eventually colored! Also, Sorcerer Mickey comes in and dances towards the end of your meal! And did I mention the butter knives look like paint brushes!?!?!? It’s such a cute restaurant and I’m just OBSESSED! We were lucky to have this on the night of my mom’s birthday! Definitely don’t skip this one, we did a poll on our stateroom door for best restaurant and most people picked this one!
Pros:
The atmosphere, and also food was pretty good, like the other restaurantsCons:

Me and my family sailed on the Disney Magic in August of 2024! This was our second Disney cruise, our first one was on the Wish. However, we liked the Magic more than the Wish for a couple of reasons. First of all, the Magic is the smallest ship, so it was WAY less crowded than the Wish, the newest ship. The Wish’s capacity is 4,000 people! That is a lot! Now keep in mind that the Wish isn’t a BAD ship, I think it is great, but just be prepared for some crowds! Also, we thought the Magic’s restaurants were better. On the Magic, there is Animator’s Palate, which we LOVED, Rapunzel’s Royal Table, and Lumiere’s. They were all very nice! On the Wish though, there is World of Marvel (we are not Marvel fans), Arendelle, which was ok, and 1923, which is just a plain old restaurant with pictures of Walt and Roy in it. This is just my opinion, of course, but I thought the Magic was overall a better ship. Also, the Wish is very big, so on our 3-night cruise we did not get to do everything we wanted to do on our trip. And the Wish mostly just does 3-night cruises! However, because it is big, the Wish had plenty of great spots to go. Inside Out Sweet Shop, (which you have to pay extra for), was REALLY good, and also we loved the AquaMouse! On the Magic, though, we got everything done, and also loved the AquaDunk, the water ride on the ship. So, do I think you should sail on the Magic? YES! Whether you’re a thrill-seeker, or you want to relax on your cruise, the Magic has something for everyone! Now, the Wish has something for everyone too, but you might not be able to get everything done! Both cruises were honestly really great, and this is just my opinion, so it is up to you and your family to decide which ship you would like to sail on! However, I hope this was helpful, and remember, you can’t go wrong with a Disney cruise no matter what ship it is!
Pros:
The Magic has great restaurants, staff, activities, food, shows, and entertainment!Cons:
It is the smallest Disney ship, but we got everything done!Review of Kona Cafe Breakfast

recently had breakfast here and its been a past favorite. Service was slow, and seemed confused. Eggs where cold, microwaved bacon?, and muffin was cold. Really not impressive at all. It was very early and only a few people eating so it should not of been a rush. They also sat everyone in row in 1 area with the dining room empty? Seemed odd.
