My wife and I queued for longer than we did on most rides to get a taste of Gideon’s bake goods. Unfortunately the cake slices were sold out but we managed to get three varieties of cookies, coffee cake, banana loaf and choc chip. The cookies lacked flavour and tasted only of sugar and sweetness. I love coffee flavour and was disappointed when I could barely identify which cookie was which
Pros:
Sugar fix and great photo opCons:
Huge lines, lack of flavourReview of Nomad Lounge

One of the best meals I had in Disneyworld while on honeymoon. We shared Tiffins bread service and pineapple-glazed pork belly and they were both delicious. I didn’t expect much from the food in Disney but the food and service blew my mind. A very pleasant surprise
Pros:
Great food, fast and high standard serviceCons:

We used MEARS Connect Driven by Sunshine on 5/11 and 5/18/2024. I use a wheelchair and although requested in advance, was not provided with a wheelchair accessible vehicle on either day. To avoid it happening on our way back to the airport, I called ahead and was told I would be provided an accessible vehicle. When arriving to the bus, I was informed I would have to board the inaccessible bus we were assigned to or wait 1-2 hours for an accessible vehicle (from both, airport to resort and resort to airport). I was unable to wait (due to reservations and flight times) and forced to use the inaccessible bus or pay an additional fee for alternative transportation and be separated from the rest of my family. My wheelchair was stored under the bus completely unsecured and unlocked, causing damage to the frame. I would NOT recommend MEARS Connect Driven by Sunshine for anyone who is disabled or traveling with a disabled person.
Pros:
noneCons:
Does NOT provide ADA compliant/wheelchair accessible transportation in a timely manner, even if requested on the reservation in advance (either online or talking to a live person). Wheelchair users have to figure out how to transfer themselves on the bus and into a seat then have their wheelchair stored under the bus in the cargo hold.Review of Oga's Cantina

We where really excited to retry this after a bad experience 2 yrs ago. However; its worth a walk through if you've not been. But if you really enjoy standing exactly where they tell you, & way to loud to talk to your party's at all this is the bar for you!
Pros:
atmosphere to see for a few minutesCons:
food was not great and extremely limited standing, and more standing, did I mention standing? expensive for what it isReviewed by mkymouse4ever Review Date: 05/21/2024

Once again had our trip to Boulder Ridge. We basically love BR. Great location, love 1 br. Love the setup. quiet but close to WL / CC buildings & MK. Great room this time with view of lake. 4th floor. We are not DVC. and not owners of any kind in DVC. which gives people a different persceptive sometimes, when your invested. We stayed 2 weeks. and basically had beautiful weather and a great time all around wdw. I only had 2 things that did bother us, at all and really didn't ?? The BR pool. Which we love. It is a great setup, big, lots of room and chairs usually. First pool day was during race weekend so it was actually packed but we had room and did find 2 chairs. No problem. 2nd pool experience was way less crowded but found some very interesting guest. 1 family (maybe they are walt disney's family and own BR)? Found the the need for the 8 of them to take 2 cabana's (which are free at BR), 10 lounge chairs lining the pool side, and simaltanously taking 3 tables with umbrellas.?? For the family of 10. Then announced they where going to their camp at the WL pool so the kids could play on the other toys and kept all these chairs. There where plenty of people that had no where to sit at all. and families looking to eat at tables etc... Just really people ? No need to take everything, and make a positive experience for everyone. Of course BR had nothing to do with this. I'm not sure many people there realized this was even going on but we where located very near them. Our 2nd incident was the fire alarm at around 3am ish. Now growing up near a big city with building > you get a firealarm in the middle of the night grab keys, a jacket / blanket, shoes and run... I could not believe the slow, and totally dressed families, with hair done to stand out side.... Just felt funny cause we are serious about safety... Now WL was terrible and dropped the ball on this incident. NO ONE from the main building came out??? No managers, front desk, bellhops, ANYONE?? To check on people or if we where burning down?? A pool guy showed up to straighten out his area for work. but with kids, people, and some elderly standing for quite a while he could of had unlocked the pool area to allow people to sit. Most where standing about an hour, or sitting on sidewalk. No one came to give an all clear. finally saw 2 guys with a flashlight and they said it was a water pipe break in basement and no fire. Then a lady said her husband went in and checked was told didn't know why we where all outside and alarms still going off?? So she announced we could go back in and we did. We never got a note of anything from the resort about this. The next evening there was a message on phone of about 2 lines stating the water pipe thing only. But, I really felt some kind of staff should of been checking on people..... Rumor had been going that reedy creek fire was on there way but we never saw anyone....
Pros:
The resort itself.Cons:

While this attraction may just seem like your average 3D-theater, it's far from it. Before I get into the meat and potatoes of this review though, I should mention that since I visited in December 2022, this attraction has received comfier seats some the experience will be even better than in my review. To begin, the ride ignited my interest in the Muppets. My group didn't really know what to do at Hollywood Studios and somebody was like "Hey, why don't we go on Muppets to kill some time?" Nobody else had a better idea so we all walked in. Unfortunately, we missed the pre-show but I saw a video online so I can still factor that into this review. I personally think it doesn't add much to the ride, but it is entertaining to watch the construction workers work behind the scenes of the show. Once you are seated and have your glasses equipped, you are treated to a variety of 3D-effects and things occurring 360 degrees around you. It's immersive, for sure! But the BEST PART is easily walking out of the theater and hearing that bussin' exit theme song. No joke, I will and do still listen to the theme song in the background. Of course, if you don't find the Muppets at the very least entertaining, this attraction is a chance to escape from the heat since the building is air-conditioned. There's also the fact that has been said a thousand times, but this attraction was the last time Jim Henson voiced Kermit the Frog in a movie and one of the last productions he was involved with at all. All in all, I would highly recommend this, especially if you're leaving Star Tours and heading to Galaxy's Edge or vice-versa since this attraction is right on the way. Jim sure did go out with a bang.
Pros:
360-degree immersive experience, indoors and air-conditioned, comfy seats, and anybody can go on it no matter their health conditions, and an ABSOLUTELY BUSSIN' EXIT THEME SONG!Cons:
I actually can't think of any!Review of Haunted Mansion

This was an excellent restaurant. We visited here twice during our trip in May. The first night was a late dinner. We ordered the shrimp cocktail, heirloom apple salad, and crab cakes. They were all very good. Our server was fantastic and very attentive.
We returned on Mother’s Day for dinner. The onion soup gratin reminded me of my mothers. It was excellent. I ordered the pork shank it was very good. My wife ordered the vegetable curry with chicken and enjoyed it very much. Service was very good and attentive. Highly recommend

We dined here on 5/13/24. I ordered the chicken parm and my wife ordered the eggplant parm. The chicken was on the dry side and tasted ok. The eggplant was good. Caesar salad was excellent along with the pasta. Service was very good. This restaurant was on our list for a very long time. On the fence if we will go back.
