Disney World Reviews by WDWMAGIC Readers

Test Track

"Amazed at theme"

This is a great ride to be at EPCOT. Disney cannot just have slow rides or they will lose their audience. The queue line is great and keeps your interest as you wait. I actually enjoyed the ride more when I had to wait instead of jumping on with some GM folk! The music fits the ride well. I am not sure sometimes what they are using to make those sounds but it really got me ready to ride the ride(that sounds weird). I wish it would look a little more detailed on the inside. The cardboard cut out trees and other such items really stand out as ugly. The speed are should go faster as it is not that fast compared to todays standards.

ESPN Wide World of Sports

"Wide World of Space"

It's a real shame that this complex is hardly used. No one really knows about it! The All-Star Cafe was great, and the Braves do their traning there! Try to catch a game. Lots of stuff to do...but you feel like you are alone at the place. It's very sad to see so much stuff sitting dormant. Maybe heavier promotion, and more events would draw more people. Great gift shop, and restaraunt...more games! Baseball, and basketball I would die for!

The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror

"Nice ride!!!"

Queuing Time: It can get a long line, but you'll have no problem with fastpass! Audio: Great, if you like Twilight Zone music! PreShow: Very well themed!! Nice preshow, too! Storyline: Excellent story. Not as much "substance," but good story. Theming: Yup, detailed! I was convinced I was in a hotel (kinda...hehe) Post/Show: Nothing too special, really Thrill Rating: EXCELLENT for thrill fans; I'm not a thrill fan, but I was into it for the special effects - that's what intrigued me. Duration: Don't you just want it longer? It's a nice length, though. Kid Friendly: Again, not family-friendly, but at least it didn't replace a family-friendly attraction. So I'm happy about that! Overall Rating: Good! It's a stop I'll have to make every trip. That is, with Fastpass!

Test Track

"Unfitting."

Queuing Time: The lines for this attraction are so tremendous. It's not worth a long wait. That is, unless you're in it for a fast ride. Audio/Music: Well, there isn't much music. What there is, though, in the exit area is music like "Like a Rock" which can be heard on the radio. Am I at Disney? Preshow: This shows some worth as far as how cars get tested and a bit of history. Storyline: It really reminds me of Cyberspace Mountain. It's a thrill ride, but it doesn't have any "substance"...not really any "worth" as an attraction in itself. Theming: I feel like I'm in an auto shop! I don't want to go to an auto shop at Disney! LOL! PostShow: Ugly...and it's just a show off of GM. Experimental Prototype Community of...Today! Thrill Rating: I don't really care for thrills; but my family was more concerned with "is it safe?" Duration: Short. Quick. It's not really worth it. Especially 3 hour wait for 5 minutes? Kid Friendly: A lot of kids can ride it. But it has lots of restrictions. It's not what Disney set out for - "family." Overall Rating: I just don't like it. But still, I would be happier with that. But above that, it lacks a lot of what Disney, and especially EPCOT is TRULY (or was truly) about.

100 Years of Magic

"Share a Dream Come True"

This wasn't too bad of a celebration. The theme of celebrating 100 years of Disney memories was a nice idea and the entertainment and attraction were also wonderful. The much-hyped "Discover the Stories" kiosks were OK, but maybe a little too overhyped by Disney to call them not-to-be-missed attractions. Still not fond of the hat, but I guess I have to admit it is pretty at night.

EPCOT

"Food and Shopping"

I'm not sure about this park. Some days I love it, some days it feels really dated. The theming at this park is very "retro". It's a vision of the past, and I think it should be upgraded to fit more a futuristic theme. The World Showcase is good...but here is why I say that this park is not kid friendly. Kids will become bored...fast! There's not much to keep kids entertained. The World Showcase has great food, and shopping, but for the kids, I would keep them around Future World. I remember going when I was little, and being bored out of my mine! The facilities look rather dated. The area around Test Track looks great now, and the "wand" over Spaceship Earth is great! Once again, very retro. There's not much here in the form of rides. The major attraction is Test Track, and opening soon, Mission: SPACE. There's a few, but it's not a lot. I like the park, but there's room for improvement. Take at least a day for this park.

Disney's Animal Kingdom

"My Favorite"

So many people rush through this park, and give it bad reviews. I think Disney's Animal Kingdom is simply amazing! The Tree of Life is breathtaking! If you love animals, and even if you don't, I'm sure you will find something that strikes your fancy at this park. Take your time, and contrary to popular advice, take a full day to explore this park. You will love it! Try the Rainforest Cafe, explore the shops, and ride the attractions. My family was pleasantly surprised when we explored the animal trails. These will give you the chance to see some very rare animals. The theming at this park is amazing! My favorite area is Africa. Kilimanjaro Safaris is awesome! Simply the best! You'll love it!

Epcot International Food and Wine Festival

"Pass the gaviscon"

As a professional fat bloke, this is simply the most fun Ive ever had at Epcot. Over the course of several visits I think I tried most things from the stands some excellent some ehhhhhh an aquired taste. However it was generally good fun. I didnt sample too much wine, not really my cup of tea, but I did my bit to stop the beer going off. And there was plenty to choose from including a rather nice Oktober ale from Germany. Also the chance of something free in Disney was too good to pass so visit the Adams brewery talk informative entertaining and a good free sample.

Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party

"Whoohooooooooo!!!"

We realy enjoyed this event. The themeing was excellent and the fireworks and parades were very well done. We went on Halloween and yes it was quite busy but the lines were bareable. The haunted Mansion looked more spooky than ever and the lighting effects on the dry ice were stunning especially when viewed from the riverboat. The opertunity to trick or treat should not be missed but be prepared to deal with pushy parents!! One tip if you collect the pins dont hang around cause there wont be any left by the end of halloween. And watch out for that headless horseman.

Disney's Port Orleans Resort Riverside

"Damn Fine"

To be fair my first impression of our room in Aligatoor bayou was that it was nothing special. And indeed it is like most hotels any where, clean moderately accomodated and well themed. However step outside and it was a whole different world. The grounds are simply beautiful nature is abundant. The food court was good but a little crowded if you left dinning till peak times. The best treat was the quiet pool. it was a delight to slip into the water at night after a hard days park pounding, and it was a popular pasttime as we were never alone. the water taxi trip to DTD is worth staying at this resort for alone, though the CM captaining the boat can make a big difrence to the trip. Rooms can hold up to 5 with a trundle bed making it very affordable for a family of 5, and contrary to CRO says there is plenty of room.

Blizzard Beach

"Ultimate wedgie"

Prepare to be bruised chaffed wedgied splashed thrilled and toasted all in the space of a few hours. This park is excellent the attractions are well thought out and the family tube Teamboat springs is just so much fun. Two minus points, in the heat of the sun you can feel like a turkey in the oven as theres so little shade, and why didnt they build a lift to get those damn tubes to the back of the hill? they didit for the mats!! Definate Fun in the Sun

Biergarten

"Achtung Baby"

My favourite place to trough at Epcot. We have to make a real effort to eat elsewhere and try new things. The communal tables can put somepeople off but I find it adds to the atmosphere, especially if you get swaying to the umpah band. The food is authentic though I think they could do with the ocassional change. German cakes look better than they taste. But the meat is always tasty, and ist amazing how many vegetables you can coat in mayo. The Becks is well kept and its worth trying the dark beer for a change. Go at lunch time as the menu is the same as night but a few dollars cheaper.

Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Restaurant

"Horses for courses"

Even in this thread there are a variety of opinions and experiences. I can only go by what happened to me. The service was excellent and the CM did his upmost to ensure my wife and I had a good time. they made such a fuss of all the kids we were adamantthat on our next visit we would return. Yes the menu is not extravagant akin to the Hard Rock or Planet chains, both in quality and price. As for the setting that appears to be the one thing that everyone is in agreement on, its excellent.

Whispering Canyon Cafe

"so so"

GREAT PLACE TO EAT IF YOU LIKE SMOKED FOOD. IF YOU CAN GET AN OUT GOING CM AS YOUR WAITER IT CAN BE THE HIGH POINT OF YOUR TRIP. AS WITH ALOT OF WDW REST. IT DEPENDS ON THE WAIT STAFF TO MAKE IT SPECIAL.

Disney's All Star Movies Resort

"Great fun/great value !!!"

I think this is the best place to stay with small kids. My family has stayed here 3 times and the kids just love it.

IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth

"Nothing better!!"

Reflections of Earth exceeded everyone of my expectations when I first saw it. That first firework shot into the middle followed by the huge explosion was a sign to me the show was going to be amazing, and it just got better from there! There really isn't a bad spot to view it from since the world showcase is huge and the only things you have to worry about are trees and really tall people right in front of you. Definately worth the price of admission by itself. My dad and I choose just to drop by EPCOT to see Illuminations if we get back early from another park. If you haven't seen it yet, you must.

SpectroMagic

"My Favorite"

This is by far my favorite parade anywhere!! The music is basically my favorite part of the whole parade, when that first trumpet fanfare hits I get shivers. I just wish it was a little easier to find a decent spot to view the parade if you wait till the last minute like me.

Carousel of Progress

"The DISNEY in WDW"

Queuing Time: Just fine! Never too long, never too short. Audio/Music: An EXCELLENT score! Preshow: Excellent history and footage of the 1964 version! Storyline: Excellent! Every thing about it is innovative. Theming: Heck, yeah. Better than most! Post-Show: My post show is riding it again... ;) Thrill Rating: For me, I find thrill in classics. Just being there...wow! Duration: Perfect. I love the length of this attraction. Kid-Friendly: Of course! Let's say Family-Friendly... Overall Rating: EXCELLENT This ride defines Walt Disney's message. One of the best attractions at the park in itself - and by far the most classic. I can't bear to hear anyone say to close it...there is no true justification for closing it...plus Walt Disney himself said this to be the only attration to stay in his parks as long as it existed. I love it. Not to miss...missing it will take the Walt Disney out of Walt Disney World!

Blizzard Beach

"Cool park"

A fantastic water park! Kids loved Teamboat Springs and Cross Country creek, I think we have done about a thousand laps! I have been on Summit Plummet on the four occasions we have been and it still scares the shorts off me! We found Blizzard Beach was a better place for our kids than Typhoon Lagoon. The main pool, Melt-away bay, is a bit more sedate! Don't get me wrong Typhoon Lagoon is an awsome place as well and we are going to go on our next vist, now the kids are older.

Ghirardelli Soda Fountain and Chocolate Shop

"Best Chocolate Ever!"

I am so glad this chocolate is not WDW exclusive! It's so good...and I don't eat a lot of "sweets". I love it! I usually pick up a box of the milk chocolate squares, and a vanilla milkshake with a scoop of chocolate. Very good!

Reel Finds

"Good Movie Stuff"

If you want movie stuff, you can anything here like signed photos of film & TV stars. It should have John Bunnell & Paul Frees.

The Great Movie Ride

"MGM'S Castle"

The Great Movie is a ride throughout the history of movies. It defines what MGM was, is , and should always be. I believe they should possibly update some of the scenes, but in general they should keep it the way it is. The ride is great for people of all ages.

Main Street Electrical Parade

"A night classic"

I hate parades. I think there are a waste of time. This is a wonderful experience. The music is a Diseny Classic and still gets stuck in my head. This is the parade that made me stop and give all other parades (Disney and Non-Disney)a chance.

Disney Wonder

"simply the best!"

This had to be hands down the best cruises I have ever been on! The food could have been a little better but everything else made up for it.

Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge

"Amazing Resort!!"

This resort exceeded everyone of my expections. When I first walked into the resort I was in aww. To make the experience even more amazing I walked around back and saw all of the animals and realized this has to be one of the coolest hotels ever built! The food at Boma was amazing and our rooms were nothing short of perfect.

Bistro de Paris

"Good and expensive"

This is a fairly formal, French restaurant, with an upscale rendition of the food sereved downstairs in Chefs de France. Don't bring young children here -- They won't enjoy it and no one will enjoy them. Anyone not familiar with French cooking should try Chefs de France first. A cheese course is available after dinner, although to our surprise it was not on the menu. We had to ask about it. The menu was not just loaded with things we wanted to order, but the things we did get we enjoyed. The service was good, and we had an outstanding view of the fireworks. On the downside, it is expensive. We started with Kir Royales, got a bottle of wine, had appetizers and my wife had dessert while I had a cheese course. I think our bill came to about $230. For this price we could get two slightly less-fancy meals, which is what we will probably do next time. But Bistro de Paris was still very good.

California Grill

"Well worth it"

My wife and I ate here and enjoyed it very much. Our reservations were for after the fireworks, so we sat at the bar and watched. I actually went out on the large observation deck, and in my opinion this is the best place from which to view. Any wine on the menu is available by the glass for one-fourth of the bottle price, so it is possible to try something new or to ask for wine pairings, which I like to do. The menu was a bit limited, with too much fish and not enough meat and seafood, in my opinion, but my wife and I both were able to order. She got the filet and I got the pork tenderloin and both were very good. Many exclaim over the high prices here, but I found them to be quite reasonable, perhaps less than I would expect to pay elsewhere for similar food. Certainly dinner for two with a couple of glasses of wine is likely to cost more than $100, but that's the case almost anywhere. We enjoyed the California Grill and will be back, although the just meat-and-potatoes might not like it here.

Kona Cafe

"Needs a better menu"

Although this place has very little theming, the service is good, and the desserts are GREAT! However the pan-Asian memu selections are a bit tedious. Not that the food isn't good, because it is, but the menu selections are limited. These observations are based on a Nov. 2002 visit. Back in February 2002 I ate here are remember the menu being a bit better, although this could be my imagination. I didn't eat breakfast here, but I have had the Tonga Toast through room service, and certainly it is worth a try for anyone.

'Ohana

"Fun, but not tasty"

There are games for the children which makes for a festive atmosphere, even if it means the children cannot be coaxed into eating their meal. Our service was poor. The appetizer tray is very good, but it is followed by nothing else but overcooked chunks of meat served from skewers. Really awful for the money when you get down to it. I understand the breakfast is good, though. However, I have been very disappointed twice, and will not return for dinner.

Fantasmic!

"MUST SEE!!!!!!!"

This is a must see attraction....I saw it twice...The lights...the music.....the magic....Disney at its best! I could feel the magic!

Adventurers Club

"Best Bar at PI"

What can I say about the Adventurer's Club? I wish it was right down the road from me because it would be "my" bar. I mean, I'd be there everyday to enjoy the atmosphere and people. Nestled by the big stage at Pleasure Island, the Adventurer's Club is unlike anything offered at the nightspot. Straight out of an Indiana Jones movie, masks and relics decorate the walls, while many shows go on a night. If you like to go out and have fun, just stop by here, sit back, relax, have a drink, and soak up the atmosphere.

Disney's All Star Sports Resort

"$$$=College Kids Friend"

As a college student, I know that sometimes cash is a little hard to come by. Just think of the Ramen noodles and other cheap foods you live off in times of need. But a vacation to Walt Disney World isn't out of sight, for the All-Star Resorts have very affordable prices. I stayed at the All-Star Sports a couple of months ago and enjoyed it throughly. It's not as cozy as the other resorts. The giant megaphones and surfboards can get quite tacky after a while, but it's still the Disney magic that impresses you. The rooms are nice. For being Disney's cheapest resort, you couldn't tell by the rooms. Well taken care of, themed to the movies of Disney. The swimming is something in need of desperate change. I mean, their is honestly nothing to the pool. The food court is just like every other food court in Disney's existence. Overpriced and half decent. I'd take a drive somewhere and check out other resorts for dining. But overall, very cheap prices, plus you can find some good discounts. Last time I went only $59 a night. Not bad at all!

The Great Movie Ride

"See the Movies!"

The Great Movie Ride. The name says it all. Ride the movies that we consider classics. That's the name of the game and Disney pulls it off rather well. Being able to ride through Oz, Indiana Jones, Alien, Casablanca, and many others is very nostalgic and fun for movie lovers. This ride isn't for those who do not appreciate the classic works. The lines are never bad now that the Chinese Theather it is housed in is blockaded by the giant hat. You can hit this ride most anytime of the day and have no wait. Make sure you are ready for a loooong travel though. The ride takes over 30 minutes, I believe, which is great in my book, just don't miss your reservations somewhere (like I have before :)

Sunshine Tree Terrace

"Great dessert!"

Located outside of the Enchanted Tiki Room and the Magic Carpet's of Aladdin, the Sunshine Tree Terrace is a must everytime I walk into the Kingdom. The Orange Yogurt swirl is more than likely my favorite dessert in all of Walt Disney World. A tradition for my family as we always have to get a couple before we leave the park, I suggest that everyone tries one of these wonderful snacks!

The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror

"Best elevator ride!!!"

Yo!!! That's my fav. ride at Disney-MGM Studios!!! Don't forget the seatbelt or you're having too many stories. Don't eat before you ride because it's my fav. ride!!!

ESPN Club

"DELICIOUS!"

This place has very good food. I also like it because of all the TVs :D

Alien Encounter

"It's awesome!!!"

Oh yeah, Alien Encounter is the best attraction I love. It's the bomb!!! Yeah, it can be scary to children, but I love the effects of this ride & the alien writing.

Guitar Gallery

"Can you get better???"

i dont think there is another guitar store like this. Some of the guitars in the store you can only find it there. well i cant wait till im there on the 20th

The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror

"My fav ride!"

In my opinion, the best ride at WDW. Can't miss it.

Boma - Flavors of Africa

"Top Quality Tukka"

I visited Boma because of the good things I had heard from people on these pages, and I wasnt dissapointed. The setting was excellent the CMs warm and freindly so even the wait to be seated was a pleasant experience. They had what appeared to be a good choice of wine, if a little expensive. The food was plentiful well presented and tasty. It was good to get the chance to try new dishes and the chefs were all very keen to offer their opinion and advice. An excelent dining experience and I for one will be back on my next visit.

Who Wants To Be A Millionaire-Play It!

"Just like the real thing"

A few years back there was a game show that did really really well for ABC. Well, this is an exact replica of the show and it is really good. Even if you were not a fan of the show I believe you would be interested in this attraction.

Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party

"Very Festive!"

I really liked MVMCP. I would have liked it more had I not gotten up at 4:40 am to get to WDW and known it was going to be VERY crowded. I heard rumors that it wasn't,but I guess some nights are more crowded than others. Tips to enjoy yourself: Don't overdo it during the day. Sleep in so you can stay up late Don't expect to walk on rides. It was extemely crowded! Don't get too excited about the milk and cookies. Enjoy the atmosphere. Though my first MVMCP wasn't the greatest, I think my past experience will help to make the next one a lot better.

Narcoossee's

"Great view. Good Food."

The filet and lobster was delicious. It was our favorite meal in our 2000 trip. Beautiful setting and if you can't get the California Grill during the fireworks, try this place. The view isn't bad at all.

Mike Fink Keel Boats

"SO SO"

A RIDE THAT NOBODY WILL PROBABLY MISS BUT IT WAS A DIFFERENT TAKE ON A RIDE AROUND TOM SAWYERS ISLAND THAN THE LARGER STEAMER.

Goofy About Health

"GOOD"

A GREAT PLACE FOR KIDS TO BE ENTERTAINED AND IF THEY ARE NOT CAREFUL THEY MIGHT LEARN SOME GOOD EATING HABITS

Innoventions

"INTERESTING"

A GREAT PLACE TO WONDER AROUND AND LOOK AT THE NEAR FUTURE PRODUCTS THAT ARE POSSIBLY GOING INTO PRODUCTION. SERVAUL COMPANIES SPONSOR THESE DIFFERENT EXIBITS SO THERE SEEMS TO BE A PUSH FOR THEIR PRODUCTS. NICE TO SEPERATE FROM YOUR GROUP AND JUST WANDER AROUND FROM PLACE TO PLACE BY YOURSELF.

Guitar Gallery

"limited"

IF YOU ARE INTO MUSIC AND GUITARS ARE YOUR LOVE THIS MUST BE YOUR PLACE,IF YOU ARE LIKE ME AND YOU ONLY CAN PLAY A RADIO IT GETS OLD FAST

Hoypoloi

"DIFFERENT"

I GUESS THIS MUST FIT INTO THE SCHEME OF THINGS IN DOWNTOWN. I HAVE A HARD TIME TELLING THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THIS HIGH PRICE ARTSY STUFF AND THE THINGS I HAVE SEEN AT A YARD SALE.

Celebrity Eyeworks Studio

"WHY"

WHEN ON VACATION THE LAST THING I THINK OF IS OVERPRICED FRAMES.HAVING SAID THAT, IT IS NICE TO LOOK AT THE EYE WEAR OF THE RICH, FAMOUS AND PRETENTIOUS.

2R's Reading & Riting

"different"

A STORE FOR THE AVID LETTER WRITER WHO TAKES PRIDE IN THEIR STATIONARY. ALSO PHOTO ALBUMS AND SOME BOOKS AND ACC. NOT FOUND EASILY IN THE PARKS

Disney's All Star Music Resort

"Disney Resort?"

All Star Music was all around okay. There were some draw backs. We stayed in the Calypso section on the first floor. We could hear the neighbor above us urinating in the toilet. Who wants to hear that? Check in was slow. The cast member was not really paying attention to her job. She was more interested in the people checking in next to us in line. The maid service cleaned the room, made my bed, and threw a blanket over my mom's and threw the bedspread in the corner on the floor for 3 day even though we called about it on the 2nd day!! Not very impressed with service. May go back because of the good price. Definitely needs to work on the Disney quality of service, like the other hotels.

'Ohana

"Great Food! Great Price!"

If was cheaper to eat a meal here than at Captain Cooks and twice as good. Great French Toast. A must visit for all Poly stayers and anyone else should stop before hitting the Magic Kingdom. Then jump on the monorail and enjoy the park.

Tony's Town Square Restaurant

"OK"

I ate here for the character meal while the Crystal Palace is being refurbished. It is a prix-fixe menu and the food was average. It is a beautifully decorated restaurant and if you are in the outside part of it you can catch the afternoon parade. The bread and dip they bring out before you meal is sooooo good! (If anyone knows the recipe, please let me know.)

Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Restaurant

"I love this place!"

I have heard so many bad reviews about this place. I think it is the most amazing and uniquely themed restaurants I have ever been to. Anything I have ever eaten has been delicious and the milk-shakes are very good. And it is the quietest Disney restaurant you can find. A welcome break from the hustle and bustle of the parks. Definetly try it!

Rainforest Cafe Disney's Animal Kingdom

"Menu has lots of variety!"

I've been to several Rainforest Cafe's around the world. They are all the same to me but I love them. They are a lot of fun and the menu is huge and has something for everyone. They have an alcohol drink that tastes like a chocolate covered bananna. Try it!!! I have heard about terribly long waits at the DD one, but we didn't wait at all on a Tuesday afternoon in the beginning of October.

Mitsukoshi Teppanyaki Dining Room

"Food to die for!"

I love this place. It is very crowded and we waited even with priority seating, but I would definetly do it again. Our chef was a lot of fun. He joked around about our local sports teams. They give you a small salad with ginger dressing(that is the only thing I did not like). We got steak and shrimp and it was delicious. They give you white rice and vegatables too. I am getting hungry just thinking about it. MMMMMMMMMM... You are seated with other parties. If that makes you VERY uncomfortable you may want to skip this place.

L'Originale Alfredo di Roma Ristorante

"Delicious!"

I really enjoyed this restaurant. The fetucinni alfredo was delicious. They bring over the desert tray after dinner (which I think should be illegal because it is to hard to say no once you see these things). The tables are very close together like in traditional Italian restaurants. I highly recomment this place. (It is a bit pricey at dinner.)

Coral Reef Restaurant

"Unique"

If I were to use 2 words to describe this place it would be "fancy schmancy". It was expensive and the food portions were small, but good. It was one of those places I had to try at least once. The atmosphere is beautiful. I thought it would be more romantic, but there are A LOT of children here and it is VERY loud. I would go back in the future but not until I have tried a lot more of the other dining experiences.

Biergarten

"Beautiful Restaurant"

The atmosphere and service at this buffet-style eatery is unbelievable. Everyone is so friendly. I am not a huge fan of german food (brautwurst, et al), the spaetzle was very good. I would recommend this at dinner though. We went at lunch and their was no entertainment. I believe Oohmpah bands play at dinner.

50's Prime Time Café

"Entertaining!"

We had a wonderful time when we ate at this restaurant. It was my first ever Disney dining experience back in Dec 2000. I ordered the meat loaf for some strange reason. I don't even like meatloaf, and I wasn't crazy about their meatloaf, but the other items on the menu sounded very good. I had a delicious milkshake and the waitress MADE me eat my green beans after I tried to hide them on my friends plate. It was a lot of fun.

Big River Grille & Brewing Works

"Good Beer!"

I turned 21 before my last visit to Walt Disney World with my family. Thus, when they asked if we wanted to try out the Big River Grille and Brewing Works at the Boardwalk. I had a pasta dish which was incredible, but let's get to the star of a brewery, the beer. I tried out all six beers (whether they were mine or my brothers) and I enjoyed mostly all of them. I had the seasonal beer for the time and it was definently worth trying the place out. I'm not sure if I'm gonna eat there for a while, as I'm still trying to dine everywhere, but if you haven't yet, the food is up to Disney standards. And if you like a good drink or two, definently check it out!

Kali River Rapids

"Sub-par Rapid Ride"

After I read about Grizzly River Rapids at Disney's California Adventure, I was very excited about my first trip to Kali River Rapids at the Animal Kingdom. Only a few days removed from riding Universal Island's of Adventure's Popeye and Bluto's Bilge Rat Barges, I was ready for another great rapid ride. I was disappointed. I understand it would be a different beast than IoA's ride, but the length was horrific. As soon as you got on the ride and up the hill, it was over. I enjoyed the idea of conservation, especially during the scene with fire, but there was no time to enjoy the scenery, as the ride was over before you knew it.

Ice Station Cool

"Interesting"

What can I say about Ice Station Cool? Basically it's a Coca-Cola propaganda spot, but the chance to flavor the different versions of the soda is pretty neat. Most taste like pond water, but it is still cultural. I love the man frozen in the ice, funny to see. If you want to cool down after a hot day of walking around Epcot, walk through the entrance of this place and you'll get frozen....quick!

Disney's Polynesian Resort

"Paradise"

Aloha, and Welcome to Paradise! Here at Disney's Polynesian Resort you can forget everything in the outside world and relax in the setting of your favorite tropical islands. From the second you pull up to the Great Ceremonial House you realize the warmth of the Cast Members at the resort. Each and every person goes out of their way to make sure you are happy.

Once you walk in to the Great Ceremonial House you are transported to Polynesia. The large gardens and waterfalls complete the feel of the resort. When you check in, you are greeted with tradition tropic lei's. After check in, you can go to the longhouse where your room is. Each longhouse is the name of a Polynesian Island. Since the resort is not that big, you are never too far away from the main resort areas.

The rooms are very nice, and very big compared to the other Disney resorts. I did like the rooms, but I did not feel that they are worth the $300 a night price tag. However if you can get a room at a discounted price I would definately recommend going to this resort. Each room has two queen beds, a day bed, large bathroom, and a real safe (not the wall type safes at most other resorts).

There are many dining options at the resort. For quick service Captain Cook's Snack Company has options such as burgers, chicken fingers, and pizza. 'Ohana is an all you can eat feast serving breakfast and dinner. Kona Cafe is the more adult eating area in the resort. The Polynesian Luau dinner show is shown most nights of the week.

Transportation from the Polynesian cannot be beat. You have the Monorail to the Magic Kingdom, Grand Floridian, Contemporary, and Transportation and Ticket Center. You also have a walkway to the TTC which makes getting to Epcot very easy. There is also a boat that can take you to the Magic Kingdom and Grand Floridian. Busses will take you to the Studios, Animal Kingdom, Water Parks, and Downtown Disney.

The resort also has great recreational options. The new Nanea Volcano pool is beautiful, and it has a great slide. There is a nice beach that is perfect for relaxing. It is also a great spot to watch the Magic Kingdom fireworks and electrical water pagaent. The marina rents out different types of watercraft and surrey bikes. There are also a bunch of kids activities that take place during the week, just ask for a schedule at check in.

All in all, the Polynesian is a wonderful resort. It truly deserves the deluxe title it has. It is now a family favorite of ours, and we plan to return again as soon as we can.

Casey's Corner

"GREAT DOGS"

THERE IS NOTHING LIKE A GREAT HOT DOG AND WATCHING A PARADE. THESE ARE THE BEST HOT DOGS ANYWHERE. AND ITS A GREAT WAY TO ENJOY THE WAIT FOR THE PARADE.

50's Prime Time Café

"Eat all of your veggies!"

Even though the menu is not what I would consider the best the atmosphere is great. It feels like your actually in your parents or grandparents kitchen. The service is what sets it apart from the others. The staff really makes it fell like your in a move set. It has the fell of the movie "Pleasantville."

The Making of Me

"SO SO"

WDW VIEW OF REPRODUCTION THAT IS PC.IF YOU HAVE NOTHING ELSE TO DO I GUESS ITS OK.

Image Works

"SEE IT ONCE"

PLACE FOR KIDS TO BE KIDS IN A HANDS ON ENVIROMENT. KIND OF GETS OLD AFTER AWHILE.

"GREAT"

IF YOU ARE A PASTRY ADDICT THIS PLACE IS FOR YOU. A LARGE SELECTION THAT MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO CHOOSE WITH ONE VISIT.NICE OUT OF THE WAY PLACE TO SET AND ENJOY.

Chefs de France

"NOT IMPRESSEDE"

THE WAITSTAFF WAS EXCELLENT, THEY WERE VERY ATTENTIVE AND HELPFUL. THE ATOMOSPERE WAS GREAT. BUT THE FOOD WAS LESS THAN TOLERABLE. THE LAMB WE HAD WAS OLDER THAN WE ARE!! THE DESSERTS WERE GOOD BUT PRICEY EVEN FOR WDW.

Planet Hollywood Super Store

"WHY"

I GUESS IT'S BETTER THAN A EMPTY STORE BUT WHO CARES ABOUT PLANET HOLLYWOOD WHEN YOU ARE AT MGM. JUST ANOTHER ATTEMPT TO SELL T-SHIRTS.

Star Tours

"Motion sickness time"

This is a bit dated and can make you sick to your stomach, but it is still great. The theme is great and it really captures my heart (having star wars and Disney together)

Peter Pan's Flight

"For Kids of all ages"

I gave Peter Pan such high marks because it is the one "kids" ride that does bore me in some way. Mr. Toad had thrills with it turns, but it is gone. Pooh, Snow White, and even Small World are good and I am glad they are there, but one visit per vacation and done. Peter Pan is well done. The ride actually made me fly. Where else can this happen?

Tatooine Traders

"May the force be with you"

This a perfect store (if you like Star Wars)- The exterior of the store is really neat and it really keeps you in the mood when you get off of Star Tours. This and TOT gift shop are at the tops for stores attached or that are at the end of an attraction.

Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge

"Incredible"

This resort makes you feel like you are still in a theme park. Disney put alot of effort into this one and it shows. The detail is great. Nothing can compare to going onto your balcony and seeing the animals.

Bus Transportation

"Better then walking"

I never had a problem with the buses. I think there are very convient. I do think it is quicker to drive, but not enough to spend extra money on a rental

Planet Hollywood Super Store

"It should be outta there"

The store should not be in MGM. I understand at Downtown Disney, but there is no reason at a theme park. What is next is Mcdonalds at the Animal Kingdom.

Restaurantosaurus

"MICKEY D'S"

MC DONALDS FOOD FRIES ,SODA , MCNUGGETS, BURGERS NOTHING SPECIAL BUT NICE SEATING TO TAKE A BREAK.

Rainforest Cafe Shop

"so so"

JUST A PLACE TO LOOK AROUND WHILE WAITING TO EAT. LOTS OF SAVE THE WORLD T - SHIRTS AND OTHER ASSORTED CLOTHES THAT ARE NOT ALL THAT IMPRESSIVE !!

Frontier Trading Post

"The Frontierland Store"

Now THIS is a Frontierland shop. From statues of country animals, to quilts, to Country Bear merchandise, there is a whole heck of a lot of frontier merchandise here!!

Emporium

"Always a stop"

In general, the Main Street Emporium is the Magic Kingdom store. From books, CDs, postcards, plushes, this store has a lot to offer! Be sure to check it out next time, even when you're exiting the park.

Big Al's

"Nice spot"

It's unfortunate that this cute little area (named after a star from across the street) has general WDW merchandising - 95% of it not fitting with the area. However, I've usually found the cast members here charming and there are actually some pins here for Pin Trading.

World of Disney

"World of Discovery"

The theming in this store is excellent! Be it Wonderland or Villains or Princesses, this place has a little something for everyone. I still am not pleased in general with the range of merchandise, but overall, it's worth a visit when you're looking for that Disney item.

Virgin Megastore

"Not fitting."

While I enjoy the selection of soundtracks, I find this store very insulting to be in Downtown Disney. Many of the giant ads around and music sold are very immodest and unfortunate. Luckily, there are a few hidden spots here and there for those of you who prefer a more calm music store.

Rainforest Cafe Shop

"Excellent theming"

While I enjoy the atmosphere of the shop, I feel that the merchandising is too lame. While I enjoy the characters and animals, I guess the selection isn't too appealing. It's a nice place to look around during your hour long wait (unless you're a member of the Safari Club!!)

Once Upon a Toy

"Too creative!"

While this store is one of the best I've seen at Disney, I am **extremely** disappointed with the price of the items. Planning to buy a few games, I couldn't even purchase the Haunted Mansion Clue (40 dollars is a bit too much for me). So I enjoy to go in to watch models and great theming, there is creativity at its best, but I usually exit grumbling at the prices.

Magic Masters

"Not as entertaining"

I was looking for a more interacive type of store, however, this is mainly an enter and buy tricks behind a counter - and the stuff is pretty expensive! The theming is of a library, which is nice, but I keep thinking there could be a little extra something here. Fine for a magic fan, I'm sure!

Ghirardelli Soda Fountain and Chocolate Shop

"Excellent stop"

The store provides free chocolate tasting. The Ice Cream parlor provides a nice retro-American feel. This entire area is a great asset to the Disney Marketplace. Even if you don't want to buy any chocolate, be sure to look for a cast member with samples!

Disney at Home

"Wish I could have it all!"

When I get enough money, I'm buying everything in this store!! It's fun to look at all of the beautiful merchandise, even if you're not going to buy anything. A nice "at home" feel provides a nice stroll to smell candles and laugh at Mickey-shaped items!

Candy Cauldron

"Nice touch."

An excellent touch to West Side! The inside has an excellent variety of treats - and theming! Not to miss, if you're strolling around - and a little hungry!

The Art of Disney

"Not to miss!!"

Another no-miss Marketplace shop! From attraction posters to statuettes, this place has a lot to offer. Pricey, yes, but fun to look at...and wish you had!

2R's Reading & Riting

"Excellent Resource"

This is one of my favorite places at the Marketplace. It's a little hidden, but once inside, you've hit an excellent source of Disney books and writing materials. Not to miss on a shopping day!

Disney's Grand Floridian Resort and Spa

"not for kids"

i think this hotel is more for adults. it doesnt really have a fun themeing or anything and the kids may be board. but for adults it is great and it is on the monorail line which is the best!! amazing lococation

Ice Station Cool

"Very Refreshing!"

This is the best place in WDW to cool of from the hot Florida sun. Oh yeah, don't forget to try Italy's Beverly!

Star Tours

"Funny and thrilling"

This is a very good ride. The pre-ride theming is stunning and the post-ride merchandise has a wide selection. The ride is funny because of the robot thing. I think this is well worth the time to wait.

Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge

"Awesome theming!"

THis is one of the best hotels in WDW. The theming is the best part. When I first heard about AK Lodge I didn't realize it was going to be o big and have so many animals. It is deffinately worth the price.

Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith

"Fast: The way I like it!"

This may not be the fastest in WDW but it's definately the most thilling! The ride's theming is brilliant. Also, the storyline is "How'd they think of that?" Overall this is a must-do at WDW!

The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror

"Very good thrill ride!"

This ride is one of the best in WDW. The story-line is good and creative idea [sense Disney made it up. It wasn't an actual Twilight Zone show]. The overall ride is excellent. After the change of the drop profile, it's better and more thrilling.

IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth

"The best show in WDW!"

I love IllumiNations. Everytime I go and watch it. It's well worth the wait of getting a good place. It will leave a lasting impression in your memories.

Test Track

"Simply Awesome!"

This ride was awesome. The qeue line area is very well themed. THe best part of the ride is the 'loops' or speed test area which is also the most thrilling. Another good factor is the story of a proving ground which is original. Overal, it's an excellent ride!

Liberty Tree Tavern

"Excellent!"

Not by far, this restaurant is my absolute favorite for lunch. The meals are phenominal. Heck, they even give out recipies! Even the bread and butter - or apple butter (it's hard!) - is excellent. You can always judge a restaurant by its bread, I suppose! I've never visited with characters (I don't see them fitting for some reason), but the rooms are decorative...and once again, the meals are great!! Pricey, sure. But this one is worth it. Excellent kid meals, too, I've been told!!

Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Restaurant

"Retroriffic"

While I didn't find the food very good (neither did my family), I enjoyed this restaurant as the only sit-down at MGM I've been to. Watching the old commercials and films on the television - especially Walt Disney - is a great education of the time. This is a very creative and beautiful place to eat.

San Angel Inn Restaurant

"A highlight of Mexico"

Expensive, yes. But this restaurant is probably the best at EPCOT. The theming is absolutely breathtaking, and the service is wonderful. It's a true highlight of the Mexico pavilion!

Pinocchio Village Haus

"Classic!"

I enjoy this old style, Fantasyland West restaurant. The murals of the Pinocchio story on the wall are nostalgic beyond belief. I also enjoy looking on at the It's a Small World load area. This is always a fun restaurant, but the menu is a little limited.

The Diamond Horseshoe Saloon Revue

"Hoop dee doo!"

A favorite stage show!! I don't remember ordering much (except a few ice creams once that proved a bit pricey), but watching the show is all worth it. An asset to Frontierland!

Sunshine Season Food Fair

"Great atmosphere."

I especially enjoy the atmosphere of this Farmer's Market style food court. The theming is perfect; and the food is great. Whether it's a Nestle cookie or a barbeque chicken sandwhich, this place has a lot to offer. I believe the child's menu used to be much superior (complete with a collectable toy, box, and Mickey straw), but the child options have been reduced to one item (I forget which), and the Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich (which I have been told by kids is pretty gross). Eh...

Pecos Bill Cafe

"Arrrgh."

This restaurant used to be much better - now, the menu is limited to only about three or four items!! I also preferred the original "Mile Long" theming and Country Bear Jamboree heads on the wall. It's still okay food, but it can be found in too many places. Gawrsh, I miss the pulled chicken sandwich. The theming is nice, however. Nice Fronteirland style.

Liberty Inn

"Yankee Doodle Handy"

I enjoy this small area, especially during the holidays where free cookies and cocoa are given out. Inside, the area is so...heartwarming. Maybe because I was happy to be at Epcot Center?? It's not as decorated as it should be I think, (although I enjoy what's there), but it's an enjoyable, handy spot. This is like...the place for the "usual kid food"...so that's good, too.

Flame Tree Barbecue

"Nice..."

I find most of the food here messy (I don't really enjoy messy food)...but it's pretty good overall. I really enjoy the atmosphere in this wooded area. I also get some "de ja vu" listening to some music from the Adventureland Music Loop from the Magic Kingdom in there...

Columbia Harbour House

"Love the Harbor House."

I enjoy the Harbor House. Unfortunately, their menu has become very limited. This doesn't make me too pleased, however, I am happy with what is served. Excellent dining and atmosphere.

Cosmic Ray's Starlight Cafe

"Forget the food..."

Forget the food... Give my Sonny!! I love the entertainment Mr. Eclipse provides at Cosmic Rays. However, I must warn you that this area is crowded! The food is O.K. as far as I am concerned, but visit at least once to see Sonny Eclipse perform his show.

La Cantina de San Angel

"Great deals!"

In case I don't want to spend money inside the pavilions, this area is simply perfection. I enjoy most of the food here, and I enjoy the atmosphere. The deals are great compared to what's inside the pavilions. Yummy.

Share A Dream Come True Parade

"I adore it."

I am not sure why so many people hate this parade. Frankly, I haven't seen a parade as complex and inspiring as the Share a Dream Come True parade. Second in line to the Main Street Electrical Parade, this presentation is a great spectacle of Disney dreams becoming reality. Yes, a few of the "transformations" are somewhat cheesy, however, I can't complain - I can't think of a way for more effect. The whole concept behind this parade is one of the best. The floats are the best I've seen in any parade; and I've probably seen more characters here than anywhere else. What I seem to love the most is the musical score. The Share a Dream Come True theme is simply nostalgic and heart-warming. A great parade. Excellent for families. Plus, Julie Andrews does the introduction!!

The Comedy Warehouse

"Fun Stuff"

The comedy club can be great and it can be just average it all depends on your luck. It is worth checking it out atleast once while you are on vacation.

Cosmic Ray's Starlight Cafe

"Best galactic food!!!"

This restaurant at Tomorrowland is cool!!! I love everything like Tomorrowland Terrace at Disneyland & Tokyo Disneyland. Yeah, I love the design like Tomorrowland Terrace because has everything here!!!

Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party

"No lines = Great value"

I rescheduled my family's first trip to WDW from early to mid October so that we could attend MNSSHP one night and I'm sure glad I did. We enjoyed it so much, we bought tickets to go again three nights later and it was worth every penny!!! The best part of this event is the low crowd level. This equates to virtually no lines. My daughter is five and was thrilled to ride every ride in Fantasyland multiple times without ever having to wait in line. At the end of the evening she rode Peter Pan's Flight 3 times in a row!!! Even Buzz Lightyear barely had a waiting line. What line existed was so short that it never stopped moving. Everything in the park was just a little more magical. They had fun decorations, they added a little to the fireworks, I still find myself humming some of the parade music and the Characters were in high supply. Although it was sometimes difficult to distinguish between the CM's and the guests! For example, two (adult male) guests who were dressed up as Cinderella's stepsisters had fun role playing with my daughter who was dressed as Cinderella. We will definitely plan our next trip to include this event!!!

Le Cellier Steakhouse

"Canada"

The steakhouse has good food but it reminds me too much of being at any old steak house! I have been to places in Texas that are better! I really liked it more when it was buffet style however this is not to turn people away! It is fun and for a first timer, it is a must for meat lovers! Great seafood as well which is often overlooked!

Honey I Shrunk the Audience

"Best seen with..."

This movie is best seen with a full house of cafinated teens at 11pm at night. Just like at the FIRST Robotics party after the Nationals. Wow, that was cool!

Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Restaurant

"Fun Time!"

Very fun especially on your first visit! Seats 250 so there is rarely a wait! I loved the fiber optics that gave the impression of being outdoors!

Olivia's Cafe

"Terrific"

This is a truly low key treasure. Especially good for late dinner, like the disney version of a cozy, home cookin type diner

San Angel Inn Restaurant

"Great Atmosphere"

The view inside often makes people look twice because you feel as though you are outside dinning along a river! The service is great and the waiters are great to the kids signing menus and such!

Disney's Beach Club Resort

"Beach Club"

The pool system is awsome and is like no other! I challenge anyone to find a resort that is deluke in nature and that has its own kids club and so much for the little ones to do! The food is great also I personally recommend the Beaches And Cream soda shop!

Splash Mountain

"Long strange fun trip!"

Splash Mountain has become my favorite MK ride! It's right up there with Pirates and the Haunted Mansion. The drop isn't really all that scary, and it's what happens after the drop that separates Disney from Six Flags, Paramount etc. Most Americans under age 40 aren't familiar with "Song of the South" due to supposed racism in the film; I've never seen it. The Brer Rabbit chase story could be explained better in the queuing area. As it is, the goofy visuals combined with the banjo music makes the ride seem like one of Jerry Garcia's more interesting dreams! Loads of fun, and I'd go on it all day if I could.

World of Motion

"All-time good"

It's all-time pretty good!!! I just like all the scenes the one like in Test Track, but it was replaced by Test Track & I loved World of Motion & Test Track. It's pretty good to me & I loved it by General Motors to World of Motion & Test Track.

Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party

"Awesome event!!!"

This is the best event I love. I like the parade & the snow flurries because I love snow. I could go there because I love it & I like Christmas events.

Journey into Imagination with Figment

"Not bad!!!"

Not bad at all, because I love Figment because he appears now because it was retooled & now it's back to the new one!!! I'm back & I'm ready to see Figment!!!

EPCOT

"My Favorite"

Epcot is my favorite, probably because of the memories and it's always the only park open late 365 days a year! I have been to Epcot so many times, and I still discover something new every time I go!!!

The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror

"The Best?"

Is it the best? I don't really know, to hard to decide... Like a lot have said, SEAT BELT SEAT!!! You have to take the seat belt seat(s)!!!

Mike Fink Keel Boats

"Cool Boat Ride!"

I only went on the Mike Fink Keel boats twice, the most recent was December of 98....I liked how you could sit on the top, and it was all open, like one of those British tour busses. Or you could sit in the main portion down below, I sat on the roof, and it was cool, get to ride around Tom Sawyer Island, and I'm pretty sure they weren't on a track. I also liked how you had to board them right next to the Haunted Mansion, so you could labed a "haunted" theme if you wanted. They will be missed, but I do see the reason for their closing, not worth the congestion around Tom Sawyer Island, and they weren't a popular attraction.

Restaurantosaurus

"AK McDonald's"

Restarauntosauraus is nothing more than a McD's in the AK, but they do have a nice theme, with plenty of seating. It's like the Columbia Harbor House with a McDonald's Menu. Menu primarily consists of Mac's fries and chicken nuggets, overpriced of course, but not too bad. And I guess they have a character breakfast.....

Grand Floridian Cafe

"If you're at GF"

I would love this if I go there for lunch. It would be much better than 1900 Park Fare. I love the selections of lunch because they're really good.

Chef Mickey's Restaurant

"A Great character meal"

An excellent place to get plenty of one on one character interaction. I can't say too much about the food though because I was too busy taking pictures to eat!

California Grill

"Great!"

Excellent food and service. I had the Pork Tenderloin which was wonderful. The view is gorgeous, we saw the sunset from our table. The desert was only ok though( we had an apple desert of some kind). I would definitely go again.

Boma - Flavors of Africa

"Absolutely Excellent!!"

Loved this place! The food was incredible and there were so many choices! I loved the ribs they had especially. Mmmm good! Also, well worth noting is the desert selection. It is all included with the buffet and the choices are numerous and sooo delicious! My mouth water's when I think of the Zebra dome and the fruit pizza!

'Ohana

"A Fun Place, Good Food"

We used to love this place but on our last visit the service was extremely slow, which really put a damper on things. The singer/Ukelele player is the best though, he really goes out of his way to make your dinner special. My boys were coming out of the bathroom as the hula hooping was starting so we were too late to join in. But, the Singer Guy came over to our table with hoops and played just for my 2 and 4 year old ds's. Even though our last visit was a tad disappointing it will remain one of our favorites.

Winter Summerland Mini Golf

"Fun For All"

This is a easy mini golf course. It has great themeing and is fun if you are looking for somthing different to do.

Disney's All Star Music Resort

"Value"

This is a good resort if you want to go to WDW on a budget. The service was very poor. The cast members seemed to be rude when you asked for things. The All-Star Movies is alot better resort due to service. When leaving notes for the maid to leave an extra towel they never did and so on. Just don't think I would ever stay here again.

Disney Quest

"Must-see arcade!!!"

I love DisneyQuest!!! This is so cool. I was going to use the coupon from my book because you can use it for the ticket booth at DisneyQuest. DisneyQuest is the best arcade I love at Disney World.

StarJets

"Better than Astro Orbiter"

I love this name better than Astro Orbiter!!! I just love to go on it looking like Rocket Jets in Disneyland, but Star Jets & Rocket Jets are the best jet rides in the Disney parks. I love to go on space rides!!!

Captain EO

"Magical 3D show!!!"

I love this show at Journey Into Imagination!!! It was replaced by Honey, I Shrunk the Audience, but it looks really cool. I love the magical 3D glasses because they're good to wear them. I like the heroes & the villains the best at the Magic Eye Theater.

'Ohana

"Good, but not great"

O'hana is something that every Disney vacationer should experience once partly because most people have a love/hate relationship with Polynesian's flagship restaurant. For me, theming and atmosphere are great as is the service. The problem here is the menu and the price. O'hana is very, very expensive and the meal (the food itself) is not worth it, the atmosphere is a saving grace, but that ugly spot on your credit card may have you avoiding O'hana in subsequent visits to WDW.

Disney's Port Orleans Resort Riverside

"A whole different world!"

This resort is beautiful. The landscaping is some of the best I have seen from Disney. The food court is clean and the food is good. The quiet pools are very nice and they give you an alternate option from the main pool, which can be a bit crowded and loud. I love this place and would reccomend it very highly.

WEDway PeopleMover

"Relaxing ride!!!!!!!!!!"

The WEDway PeopleMover was awesome!!! It renamed Tomorrowland Transit Authority, but I loved both of the attraction names. It goes inside Space Mountain & I loved it. I loved this ride so much & I missed the old attraction name & I loved the new attraction name.

it's a small world

"Cute doll ride"

It's an excellent music in Fantasyland!!! They play it all over again just like California, Paris & Tokyo has. I loved the music so much that I couldn't wait to get on it with the music. I loved the dolls in four Disney parks because the dolls were really cute.

Kitchen Kabaret Revue

"Funniest food show!!!"

It's more funnier than Food Rocks! The show looks like the food from the TV Land retromercial. It had funny effects, sights & more. I missed it so much & it was replaced by Food Rocks.

Skyway

"Takes you from tomorrow"

I loved it & it was closed!!! It takes you from Fantasyland to Tomorrowland & Tomorrowland to Fantasyland. It takes the one way from Fantasyland & Tomorrowland & to Tomorrowland & Fantasyland. Some kids will like to see the rides far down, but I love to see them.

Mr. Toad's Wild Ride

"Tough one here!!!"

This is really awesome. It was replaced by the Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh because they want the Pooh ride, but I truly love it & missed it. It's one of the best Magic Kingdom's old ride at Fantasyland because it has great scenes like the one in California. The music was both hearded two states. The one in Florida & the one in California. The outside was so different than the one in California.

Listen to The Land

"Simply the best!!!"

I love this ride!!! This ride was replaced by Living With the Land. It had lots of effects like listening to the sounds of the land, see what people grow & more. Some kids will like it, but it's awesome for teens & adults. They'll probably like this old ride replaced by Living With the Land.

Horizons

"Cool Epcot Ride!!!"

I missed it so much & I loved this ride!!! It was replaced by Mission: Space because they're having a new attraction at Epcot. I loved this ride all the time because they had great effects like Space Mountain & Captain EO.

Splash Mountain

"Theres sunshine headin to splash"

Ok so this ride isnt as much fun as when we were 5 and the drop looked a hundred feet tall.But its still a classic and though you dont get really wet its great and my favorite all time ride!The theming is spectacular and its a really cute ride. No matter how long the line its definitely worth the wait,this has to be a top 5 ride

Primeval Whirl

"Dino-Rama. Ugh."

I suppose I am talking about Dino-Rama in general. This place...it's horrible. I mean, this was the reason why Walt Disney built Disneyland...This carnival style attraction is probably the only Disney attraction/land that has ever given me a disgusting feel. While it's another thing for families to do, it's not Disney-quality at all. Sea World...that's a different story...but this is really almost an insult.

Kilimanjaro Safaris

"Calling Simba 1"

An excellent look at animals - with a story! This attraction is not only educational, but also breathtaking - you'll be speechless upon looking around you at an endless savanaa...while being in on the action to catch poachers! Make sure to bring your cameras...and watch out for Big and Little Red!

Dinosaur

"We're in!"

An excellent AK attraction! While terrifying for many, this excellent thrill ride gives us a great education on Dinosaurs - as we're about to be blown by meteors! It does have some great humorous qualities...just make sure to keep your eyes open!

'It's Tough to be a Bug'

"We're Pollinators!"

Probably my favorite Animal Kingdom attraction, this fresh and exciting look at bugs (Pixar-style) is a must see! The queue area is a blast in itself, listening to bugs croon to Broadway tunes...and take a look at some hilarious posters! The attraction is thrilling, so some children probably won't enjoy certain sections. But the special effects are superb! Just make sure to SIT DOWN and SIT BACK at all times for some great surprises... And, of course, we gain a great appreciation of insects. If it weren't for them, we'd all be dead in 6 months!

Who Wants To Be A Millionaire-Play It!

"Good fun."

This is a great addition to the Disney-MGM Studios. Everyone has a chance for the hot seat; but I just wish there were more Disney questions! Make sure to get a Fastpass; otherwise, it will be hard to get a seat. Good fun!

The Great Movie Ride

"Excellent and Inspiring"

I love this Disney-MGM Studios attraction. Most of the scenes are very detailled and entertaining, but a few aren't. I can see this attraction going under refurbishment (with hopefully the updating of a few scenes), but I really hope that the Great Movie Ride will continue to entertain and inspire guests for years to come. Long live the movies! It's magical, folks!

Sounds Dangerous

"The Post Show!!"

This is one of the lamer attractions at the Disney-MGM Studios. While Drew Carey is somewhat comical, the attraction isn't all that thrilling, unless you're really afraid of bees, darkness, and water! See this attraction if you've visited all of the other park destinations. However, the post show is something else. I find dubbing so much fun!

Fantasmic!

"Simply Fantasmic."

Probably the best night-time show at Walt Disney World (not including fireworks or parades), this truly inspiring attraction has some of the best special effects and nostalgic moments. The finale is purely magical. It's a great blend of Disney past, present, and dreaming!

Jim Henson's MuppetVision 3-D

"Muppet-tational!"

This is one of my all-time favorite attractions at the Disney-MGM Studios. The queue area is always entertaining, from the props to the constant TV Preshow. The 3-D presentation is purely entertaining; an orchestra of penguins, the heckling Muppets in the balcony, the mix of AAs and complex SFX, and even the blowing up of the theater. A quality attraction!

The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror

"Great addition!"

This attraction is an excellent addition to the Studios! This unique and well-planned ride system flows perfectly with a very fitting story.

Walt Disney Presents

"Magic."

I recently the Disney-MGM Studios just to visit this attraction; I am glad I did. I find One Man's Dream the greatest tribute to Walt Disney since the Carousel of Progress. The museum-like atmosphere is very entertaining; and VERY well done. I am in love with the decor, and even the area music. This attraction is a must-see for any person at the park. And please, don't skip the film. It's really wonderful. It's a pity, though, that the Wonderful World of Color is off the air and that the Carousel of Progress is closed; Ironically, their musical scores are very prominent in this attraction.

Walt Disney Presents

"It's about Time !!!"

A tribute to the man himself... Walt Disney! I wonder what took them so long to put together something like this... and I hope it stays around after the 100YoM Celebration. Walk thru a timeline of Walt Disney's history... see a model of his office, actual animation equipment that was used by the man himself, and models of Disney Land and WDW. At the end is a short film with your host Mike Eisner. Very Neat...go check it out...before they decide to kill it.

Rainforest Cafe Shop

"Just like any other RFC"

Just like any other RFC (Rainforest Cafe, store) you will find here in the midwest...or..where ever there is a rain forest cafe. Nothing Special here... over priced, save the earth type stuff, if you are into that sort of thing..then this is the store for you. T-shirts...stuffed animals (kinda ironic eh?...lol).

Gourmet Pantry

"Lots of Disney Cook Books"

There are quite a few disney themed snacks and coffee on one side of this store... and on the other half you will find quite a few Disney Themed cook books, dishes, plates, cups, coffee mugs...etc...its nice... but a tad bit on the expensive side. Nice Bakery counter type set up as well...with all kinds of sweets and goodies.

The American Adventure

"HoP Kicked Up a Notch!"

Its the HoP (Hall of Presidents) Kicked up a Notch! Great Audio Animtronics...and moving small sets with great detail. This was not one of my favorites though...must see for yourself.

The Living Seas (Pavilion)

"Fish, Manatees ,& water!"

The Pre-show to this Pavilion is nice... you also have the option to skip the pre-show and jump right onto the hydrolators. What I miss is the small omni-mover ride portion that was closed off....now...when you get off the Hydrolators...everyone has to mush thru a narrow entrance...into the main area. The main area is wide open...I highly suggest watching the Diver Lock out chamber in action when they do a demo...that is really neat! Check out the Manatees as well....Mmmmm, Cow of the sea. Lots o' viewing areas for the main tank...so check it out!

The Campsites at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort

"Excellent as usual"

The cabins at FW are an underrated resort experience. The campground is like a self contained resort. The people are great. Disney seems to be wrestling with the maintanance at times but its still head and shoulders above non Diz properties.

Sounds Dangerous

"nap time"

The only thing I can say for this attraction is it's a great place to take a nap.

Disney's All Star Music Resort

"bring the kids"

We have stayed at this resort several times and feel that it is a good deal. We enjoyed the theme. The drawback was the crowds and the noise. In the evenings there are so many people in the pool you can hardly get in and there are screaming kids everywhere. I think it is a great place for families with kids but if you are looking to relax, check out a moderate.

Disney's Port Orleans Resort Riverside

"southern retreat"

This is a nice quiet retreat from the crowds at the theme parks and it is full of southern charm. We enjoy the bikes and boats, but probably the greatest thing is so many swimming pools. The only thing I would change is the amount of walking, but everything else more than makes up for this.

Flight to the Moon

"Exciting Space Ride!!!"

It's a cool Tomorrowland ride!!! You go to Mars for a look of Mars. It's really exciting, but it was replaced by Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin. It had exciting music from the space & Mars.

Discovery River Cruise

"Discovery River Cruise"

This was never supposed to be a thrill ride but comparable to the steamboat ride in the MK. The Radio Disney thing didn't work for me but I wish they would bring it back and make it a mode of transportation like the boats at Epcot. Any way to save your feet works for me.

Tapestry of Dreams

"Tapestry of Dreams"

I enjoyed the creativity of this and Tapestry of Nations. Very few differences thank goodness. The music just draws you into the parade. The interaction of the puppets is magical for kids and adults alike. I was thrilled to have one of those big guys shake my hand (just like the kids). I hope they never take it away. It's better in the dark but you should watch it both ways to really appreciate it. It's a great preshow for Reflections of Earth.

Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party

"MVMCP"

We did this several years ago and probably won't do it again any time soon ---not saying never---but not soon. It was advertised as limited attendence and they limited it to 16 bazillion. Way to congested for me. 15 deep for the parade, couldn't get near cookies and hot choc, didn't see any of the shows because they were to full. The MK is always the best even under these circumstances but I would't pay extra for it.By the way we did this around the 7th of Dec. when it normally not busy.

Fantasmic!

"Fantasmic"

Music that sticks in your mine for hours,facination for animation shown on water and a great story line. The best thing of all is it's all about MICKEY....he's the man. I think it could be a little frightening for small children because of the impact of those villans. The chose the best and worst of them. The end result is just nothing short of "FANTASMIC' for all.

Disney Stars and Motor Cars Parade

"Disney Stars and Motor Ca"

The perfect parade for MGM. Real Hollywood atmosphere. Hope the keep it for a while and add to it as new movies hit the screen.

Aladdin's Royal Caravan

"Aladdin's Royal Caravan"

This parade happened many years ago and still remains the standard for MGM parades for me. It felt like you stepped right into the movie. We went back and saw it again and again. Glad to see that they brought back those spitting camels in the MK at Aladdin's Magic Carpet ride.

IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth

"Reflections of Earth"

This is by far my favorite fireworks display. It's really more than just a fireworks display. The music is so powerful and the coordination of fireworks and music is the best. The whole concept is beyond my imagination. Just when you think you saw it all they come up with something like this.

Pooh Corner

"Best 2nd Pooh Shop"

It may be the best Pooh shop for kids, but I love it. I would get Pooh merchandise, so I can get lots of Pooh merchandise. It can be a one stop shopping Pooh place at Downtown Disney, but it seems fun to me to go there better than Pooh's Thotful Spot.

Pooh's Thotful Shop

"Best Pooh Shop"

It's probably the best shop for kids at the exit of Pooh. This may be really great, but I can smell honey & I like Pooh merchandise. First, I love to go on the Pooh ride, & then, I like to go to that Pooh shop when I exit the ride.

If You Had Wings

"Best Tomorrowland Ride!!!"

This is the best old Tomorrowland ride I love!!! It has theming just like Space Mountain has. The music camed from everything in space. It could be quite done, but it's replaced by Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin.

The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh

"I love Pooh!!!"

Finally, I love it!!! It replaced Mr. Toad's Wild Ride because they wanted to build the Winnie the Pooh ride. It was really cool!!! The Heffalumps were kinda crazy, but my boyfriend & I love it. I love it when the honey pot bumps like a roller coaster!!!

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea

"Beautiful Submarine"

I loved it & it was closed, so I heard about it that it was still closed because they're likely going to put something. My husband & I had reviews of this attraction. We couldn't get to go on it because we missed it & now it was closed permanently.

Disney Wonder

"First time going there!!!"

This is my first time going there!!! My boyfriend, mom, sister & I love it because it's a neverending cruise at Port Canaveral. I would always like to have breakfast at Parrot Cay because it would be really fun!!!

Once Upon a Toy

"COOL"

When i went this was one of the newest store in DTD. I think this was the store that you can print stickers to put on packages that you but and sent it back to your room without having to cart them around WDW. I think that was also the place that had Haunted Mansion clue and all the ride minatures!

Big Thunder Mountain Railroad

"Gotta love it!"

This was the last ride that my family and I rode when we visited the MK. I bought us all glow sticks of different colors and we rode BTMR after dusk so they glowed nicely. We rode it three times in a row, once with FP then twice without.

Cosmic Ray's Starlight Cafe

"Classic"

We always come here to get some air conditioning and yummy food, everybody's gotta love Sonny Eclipe!

IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth

"WOW"

My mom and i went into the Yatch and Beach Club to watch Illumination son the day before we went home, even though the fireworks werent timed with the music, it fun anyways!

California Grill

"YAY!"

AMAZING VIEW!!! I was astounded to see the MK from a semi-areal view, it was the best where the fireworks of the MK were on and we had a window view and everything!

Walt Disney World Monorail System

"The best part of WDW"

Its my favorite part of all of the world! (earth and WDW!)

Blizzard Beach

"BB is the best!"

The bathroos shouldn't be so airconditioned but other than that its the best!

Fountain View Espresso and Bakery

"First Stop"

Its always the first stop when visiting EPCOT. A nice light breakfast of Coffee and Danish. Can't be beat.

Katsura Grill

"Like seeing an old friend"

I cannot think of a visit to EPCOT without visiting the Yakatori House. It is simply the best. Every trip my wife and I try to go in for a meal. The Shogun combo has always been my favorite! My wife has an obsession with the Udon bowl. She says its the best that shes ever had (and I would agree). The other menu items are also great. Don't forget a side salad!

San Angel Inn Restaurant

"Not what I expected!"

I can't believe I had a bad time at a Disney restaurant! None the less an EPCOT restaurant. Went for lunch a few days ago, The food was dressed up food that I can find at Don Pablos or any other mexican restaurant. Not impressed. The table was in the back corner near the restrooms and the servers kept looking over at our table. Could not get any refills on our drinks. Very dissapointed I really wanted to try it! The environment was nice though!

El Mercado de Coronado

"Changed"

The first time I went to Pepper Market, it was a mexican restaurant. There was only one booth with "other foods" It was very good. Now it is a mix and match of everything and honestly not as good. The service has always been nice and friendly, but I just miss the way it used to be.

Citricos

"Not what I expected"

Not at all what I wanted from a Disney restaurant. I was in my early tewnties at the time and I was treated like a child. I hate that. The manager kept watching us almost acting like we were going to walk out on our tab. We were nicely dressed and just wanted a nice dinner. We spent over $130 for the two of us and just didn't feel it was worth it. The food was average "she-she" style food. Nothing stood out except for an excellent Citus infused martini and the sorbet plate shaped like and artists pallet.

Artist Point

"Northewest at its best"

I really enjoy this restaurant. My wife is from Montana, so it is like a trip home for her. She gets to have the food that we normally don't find in Georgia where we live. The food is different. But definetly worth the try. The Mixed Grill is very good as is the Berry Cobbler. Had a few times where the service was not as great as I expected and a few bad tables. I just chaulk that up to being young at the time.

Jiko - The Cooking Place

"Best Dining Experience!"

I simply had the best dining experience I have ever had. The entire visit was phenominal. The server was very knowledgable and welcoming and the food was great. A wonderful wine list of 75 different wines all from South Africa. Try the Amaluah Cream. Its made from the Maluah fruit and cream and it is fantastic!

Walt Disney World Monorail System

"awesome"

it's great! I JUST WISH IT WENT TO AK AND MGM TOO!!!!! :(

Disney's Wilderness Lodge Resort

"Beautiful & cozy"

Wilderness Lodge offers one of the most secluded and relaxed locations among the deluxe resorts. The resort is absolutely beautiful. The 'wilderness' design is carried throughout from the massive lobby with tepee lights, hardwood floors, totem poles, animal carvings, and rustic furnishings to the beautifully landscaped courtyard with a brook, waterfall, swimming pool, and geiser. The hotel offers deluxe accommodations in a private and cozy setting. The fireplaces in the lobby offer a variety of places to relax after a day of running around WDW. Roaring Forks, Whispering Canyon, and Artist Point all offer delicious dining options. If there's time, take the resort tour!

Splash Mountain

"One of the Kingdom's Best"

One of the best rides in the Magic Kingdom. Splash Mountain is the perfect blend of color, theming, music, boat ride, and thrill ride. The brilliantly designed interior is an attraction by itself. The Brer Rabbit story progresses throughout the ride to add to the interest. The music is uplifting and lots of fun. Of course, the ride itself offers a nice trip along the water with the slow build-up to the final thrilling drop. And smile for the camera! Don't even think about leaving without an on-ride photo. Years later, it will be priceless. A major attraction that is well worth the wait!

California Grill

"One of WDW's Finest"

By far, one of the best restaurants in all of Walt Disney World. The Grill offers a gourmet experience with an ever-changing seasonal menu of delicious offerings prepared in a colorful environment with a spectacular view. The stage kitchen gives you the opportunity to see how the prep area functions and how the food is prepared. The waitstaff is very knowledgeable of the menu and the selections give you choices not found in just any restaurant. The view is stunning and, if you time it correctly, you can see a memorable view of the Magic Kingdom fireworks and/or the Electrical Water Pageant. It is expensive but I have had some of the greatest meals of my life at the California Grill.

Biergarten

"I Love this Place!"

How can you not love this place? Beatifully decorated, extremely fun entertainment, a wide buffet menu. I mean, it's all you can eat! If you leave here still hungry, that's your fault. There is plenty of excellent salads, meats and deserts here to fill you up for a long time. A big warning, however... the food is VERY heavy (but what do you expect from sausages, brats, pork and black forest cake?)

Cosmic Ray's Starlight Cafe

"Great Place!!"

Seldom at WDW will you find a place where you can get whatever food you're looking for (Counter service-wise) AND feel you got you moneys-worth. This is is such a great place, if for nothing else the Chicken Caesar Salad. It's a rare thing to get full from a salad, but in all of the countless times I've eaten at Cosmic Rays, I can count on one hand the amount of times I've finished my entire salad. The prices are phenomenal (for a park restaurant), and theming is terrific. Highly recommended by me.

Space Mountain

"Excellent!"

What a great ride! An excellent queue, and a great rollercoaster by any standards. Ride it first thing in the morning!

Disney Stars and Motor Cars Parade

"A MUST SEE PARADE!"

The parade is a perfect fit at the Disney/MGM Studios with its vintage Hollywood car caravan presentation. Vehicles are colorful and clever and represent a wide range of shows & movies. The music that accompanies the performance is a great mix of the various songs and themes from the featured vehicles. The best part of the parade is that it features a number of obscure and rarely-seen characters. Some examples are penguins from Mary Poppins, Disney villians Frollo and Cruella de Vil, Pain & Panic from Hercules, and Darth Vader from Star Wars. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised and highly recommend seeing it. The only reason I didn't see it again was because I ran out of time. Don't miss it!

IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth

"The Best Fireworks"

The Best of the night is Iluminations you must see it

Disney's Days of Christmas

"If you love Christmas. ."

I love Christmas, and I love Disney (WDW in particular). I always make a stop at this store. They have lovely merchandise, and some it is quite elegant (as opposed to some of the more "fun" or "cheesy" type stuff you find other places.) Highly, highly recommended!

Ghirardelli Soda Fountain and Chocolate Shop

"this is a MUST do"

it cost like 7 bucks for a strawberry sunday but it was huge same for the cones ... never have i been so stuffed and i don't like ice cream but this was more than mere ice cream this was food of the gods.. this was a little piece of frozen heaven it was one of the best parts of my trip.

Hollywood and Vine

"Its a MUST DO"

Although it was our fifth trip we have never taken a Character meal so we visited Hollywood and Vine for a breakfast in August. It was tremendous!! Our server Carrie was so efficient and friendly, the food was plentiful and delicious and the characters were so attentive and happy to entertain. My brother had informed the restaurant my husband and I were celebrating our Silver Wedding anniversary and my birthday. We were presented with balloons, a cake, a memories certificate and a birthday card signed by the characters. We have some great photographs and memories. We enjoyed the food so much we booked for a evening buffet later in the holiday. That was also very good although there are no characters of an evening.

The LEGO Store

"Great for "Lego-Maniacs""

The Lego store is great for children and anyone else who likes Legos. The items range from the simple Duplo blocks for toddlers to high-tech electronic Legos for older children. Its a good place for those "hard-to-find" souvenirs for your "Lego-Maniac!"

Disney's Wilderness Lodge Resort

"Possibly the best"

In my opinion this is Disney's best resort. It is off the beaten track and is just beatiful. The AKL is in the same category as the Wilderness Lodge, but my my pick is still the WL.

Test Track

"Very well done!"

Test Track may not be as thrilling as sone thill seekers would like, however, it has great theming and enough thrill to keep people coming back again and again. A great thrill for ALL ages!

IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth

"Timeless!"

This is my favorite show at WDW! The show is phenominal in stimulating visual and auditory senses!

Prince Charming Regal Carrousel

"Beautiful Centerpiece"

What is it about the carrousel that everyone loves to watch them but rarely want to ride them? It makes a enchanting centerpiece to the table of Fantasyland, and I want to encourage everyone to put themselves and their children on it, because it's only truly beautiful when it's being enjoyed. I won't be on there too much though...I just want to look at it. Oh...it is a moderately romantic thing to bring that special someone on, and happy couples are almost as cute as happy children on a carrousel. :)

Carousel of Progress

"A Bit of Disney History"

Truth be told, if I had a limited amount of time in the Magic Kingdom I would not go on this attraction. It does not thrill, excite or even really entertain me...and yet I would recommended it. Why? Because it does INTEREST me as bit of Disney history; a reminder of the how the greatness that is the Disney parks developed. If you are not a Disney park fanatic, if you're just there to crash head-on into Disney magic, you could be okay skipping this one. Oh, and if you don't heed my advice and find yourself sitting there bored....FOR THE LOVE OF PETE do not get up and try to leave people! The theatre rotates, okay? The door doesn't come out where you think it will and you run the risk of delaying and ruining the show for everyone else. Tirade over.

Hollywood and Vine

"excellent"

we had a party of two adults and three children aged 8,10,14. We went for the character breakfast at 10am and were still eating at the buffet style (all you can eat ) at 1130.What a fab choice savoury and sweet.With Goofy, Minnie,Pluto Chip and Dale all arriving at your table for photos .The service was excellent and the more you eat the more the disney characters come round to greet you.would recommend it highly and will go again

Mitsukoshi Teppanyaki Dining Room

"good food adnd fun"

we were a party of two adults and three kids aged 8,10,14.The meal was excellent value for money (lunch) and the kids portions were large.The fun aspect does depend on the chef but overall it was one of the best meals we had would return again we reccommend it.

Spaceship Earth

"The Golf Ball"

I never quite understood how you could dislike this attraction. It is not a roller coaster, but either is 95% of the attractions at WDW. This is Classic Disney. The Audio-Animatronics are marvelous. It is just a fun and interesting ride. Plus I love the fact that everyone you talk to about it has got "stuck" in it before.

Maharajah Jungle Trek

"Great theme"

This is what makes Animal Kingdon so good --the Animals. The atmosphere is great. It is done to perfection. Without it you would feel like it you were walking through a zoo.

If You Had Wings

"Wings"

I really enjoyed this attraction, but have not thought about it once since it has left. It was good for its time, but I am glad we have moved on.

Jim Henson's MuppetVision 3-D

"It will make you smile"

This is a great attraction, but with the additions of "It's Tough to be a Bug" and "Honey" the effects already seem outdated. This by far is the most kid friendly. You will definatley leave having a smile on your face, but I believe the other two 3-d shows are better.

Pinocchio Village Haus

"average"

ANOTHER FAST FOOD PLACE FOR QUICK EATS OR TO TAKE SMALL CHILDREN. OK BUT NO BIG DEAL.

Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular!

"See it at night"

Try to see this show at night. The fire effects are much more dramatic. Nice stunt work and basic explosions. Doesn't take itself too seriously.

Honey, I Shrunk the Kids Movie Set Adventure

"Good Playground"

This is a neatly themed kids playground. Keeping track of them can be an issue because there are so many nooks and crannies.

Backstage Studio Tour

"Okay Attraction"

Nothing special here. The update to the water effects tank using Pearl Harbor footage is kind of half baked. Residential Street lets you see some houses from TV shows and movies. Tram Ride past the bone yard is okay and the earthquake/fier/water effects are good but not great.

Rainforest Cafe Disney's Animal Kingdom

"my fav!"

good food, awesome theming, fast, fun, etc etc this is a great place to eat and my personal favorite. (i like the one at downtown disney better than the one at AK though, but both ROCK)

Magic Kingdom

"Simply the Best"

What a place. The Magic Kingdome is...well, magic. It is the first park and the last park we go to. It is well laid out and the rides/attractions are great. There are just enough updates done on a regular basis to keep it fresh. This is the best of the four parks because there is something for everyone.

EPCOT

"A lot to do in one place"

there is a lot to do here. Not a lot of rides per acre but a lot of things to do. Spaceship Earth is a classic. Malstrom is great and my kids love the River of Time. Some of the movies need to be redone and they could stand to add a country or two, but I think it is a great place. Try to go to the living seas during feeding time. It is worth the trip. The restaurants are some of the best on property and theming in the countries is wonderful.

Disney's Animal Kingdom

"My least favorite park"

Don't get me wrong. AK is a great place but it is no Magic Kingdom. Given a few years and a few hundred million dollars, this park could be one of the best. Now, however, there is just not a full days activity. We always do AK on days when we have E-Ride, MVMCP, or MNSSHP tickets. We are done by 4:00pm and get the kids to the hotel for a nap before going back out. The Safari is well done and has been different everytime. Last time our truck was chased by an ostrich and we had to wait for the mother and baby hippo to cross the road. We like the River Rapids and the It's Tough to be a Bug is a wonderful attraction. Don't waist your time with Conservation Station. They do have the best playground for kids. Dinoland has a teriffic play area and digging for dinos is cool for the kids.

Disney's Hollywood Studios

"Movies and Thrill Rides"

I could spend all day riding Tower of Terror and Rock n Roller Coaster. Some of the attractions are getting a little long in the tooth. Star Tours needs an update and the movie magic tour (cant remember its official name) suffers from a Pearl Harbor induced refurbishment. The refurbishment to the Honey I Shrunk the Kids Playground is well done and my kids really like it. The Studios is generally one of our best days.

Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Restaurant

"Fun Food"

We always try to hit the Sci-Fi. However, the last two times we have been the service was so bad. We had to sit through the B movie loop twice before we got our food. It is a neat place though. For those of us old enough to remember the drive-ins, it brings back a lot of memories. Food is not bad but is just normal Disney stuff given weird Sci-Fi names.

San Angel Inn Restaurant

"No Tex-Mex Here"

I love this place. The views of the boats on the river of time and the Myan Temple with volcano in the background. Plus you can get some very spicy food. Don't go looking for taco bell style food. You wont find it. What you will find is some of the best authentic Mexican food around. If you like HOT food ask your waiter to bring you the special Mole Salsa. It is Great.

Rose and Crown Dining Room

"Excellent theming"

My wife loves this place but I cannot stand English food. I would rather eat live worms. The theming is well done and the restaurant provides the only indoor seating with a view of the World Showcase Lagoon.

Restaurant Marrakesh

"Love the belly dancer"

Terriffic dinner music and a belly dancer to boot. How can you not love this place. The meats are spiced perfectly and the couscous has great flavor. Never seems crowded and the services has always been very good.

Akershus Royal Banquet Hall

"One of my favorites"

Buffet style food. Great variety. I'm not a seafood fan but the breads, cheeses and pork selection is very food. They also have a chilled tomato/onion salad that is very good. Kids really seel to like the troll theme.

Rainforest Cafe Disney's Animal Kingdom

"Novelty restaurant"

This is a must visit at least once place. But once you've been a time or two try something else. Young children may be frightened by the animals.

Nine Dragons Restaurant

"Typical food"

This is just run of the mill food. You can get similar in almost any city in the good old USofA. Nothing special but if you have a hankering for an egg roll, stop in and get a bite.

Biergarten

"Ommph Pa Fun"

Grab a stein and sing with the polka band. It is a great chance to meet other guests while seated family style at long tables. What a fun place to eat. The food is good and there is a huge selection. Of all the Disney restaurants, we have has the worst service here. Good thing it is buffet style. I almost had to go fill my won glass a couple of times. The food and entertainment outweigh the service issue though.

50's Prime Time Café

"Stop in and have some fun"

This place is fun. When you go in, be prepared to be scolded, hugged and treated like family. I have seen several people that just don't know how to take this place. The wait staff may make you stand in the corner if you keep your elbows on the table and will not serve you desert unless you clean your plate. My only negative comment is that they took the buffalo Chicken Tenders off the menu!

Pinocchio Village Haus

"Burgers and Fries"

This is just another theme park burger place. It is often crowded and its real redeeming quality is that it has a view of It's a small world loading area.

The Diamond Horseshoe Saloon Revue

"Good Ice Cream Good Show"

This is a fun place to come in from the heat, get some Ice cream and see the show. The show has suffered some in recent years but is still fun to watch. I have never had the food only drinks and cold snacks.

El Mercado de Coronado

"Skip it"

Not one of the better places to eat. Even though it fits right in with my feelings about the Coronado - stay at other Disney resort.

Body Wars

"Get neck brace"

This is a really jerky ride. Star tours is much smoother then this. The theme is okay ,but nothing special. I usually try to avoid this.

Dinosaur

"It is real fun to ride"

This might be the reason to go to the Animal Kingdom--well this the safari and the Festival of the Lion King. This park really does have great potential. Besides the point. Excellent thriil ride. This is second in my book behin TOT. Event though (and maybe I am imagining it changed) I liked it better when it was CTX because it seemed a quicker.

Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort

"Underrated"

It's not a perfect resort, but It has alot to offer. The theme is great and the food court has alot to offer. The only down fall is that you have to get a room close or a could be a five mile hike for food and shopping.

Disney Stars and Motor Cars Parade

"Not to shabby"

I was not looking forward to this parade at all, but I thought it was great. It is a great chance to see more then just the typical Disney characters. It is really well done and worth seeing.

Splash Mountain

"It is worth getting wet"

Thi is the bestlog flume you will ever ride. The structur of the mountain is great. The show is wonderful and it has the most addicting song out of any attraction. The drop is really not that bad and everyone from one to a hundred should ride this attraction.

Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith

"Good coaster"

This is a really good coaster. It starts off fantastic, but it ends rather quickly. By far it improves Disney, but there are better coasters out there

The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror

"Disney's Best"

This is Disney's best thrill attraction. The detail is great and the special effects are out of this world. Nothing compares to this attraction. From the presence of it from the exterior, to the details in line, to the pre-show, to the ride itself - it is Flawless!

Kilimanjaro Safaris

"good..."

this can be a great ride if you get a good driver and the animals are out. if not its still ok but not near as good.

'It's Tough to be a Bug'

"fab."

my fav show at disney! just really fun, even though it's best the first time you can do it over and over and it's still fun to see first-timers faces when the surprises happen. everyone always goes out of the theathre laughing on this one. it's really great and the line is fun, with the bugs singing beauty and the beast and annie songs! bugs life fans and even non bugs like fans will love this! (although i was sad that the fat catepilliar wasn't in the show!) :(

Primeval Whirl

"really cute"

i think this is perfectly themed for the carnival atmosphere. it's kinda like a carnival ride but better. it's just really cute and great for the little kids who don't like the bigger coasters.

Pecos Bill Cafe

"Good Burger"

Better then the other burger places because if has a "fixings" bar. Lots of veggies fresh and grilled for topping your burger.

Lotus Blossom Cafe

"Basic menue but good"

This is not a bad place but not an exceptional place either. If you want a quick bite this may fit the bill.

El Pirata Y el Perico Restaurante

"Only Choice for Mex food"

So it is not the best place to eat at the MK; but I LOVE IT. I eat there all the time. I really like enpinyatas (sp?) The biggest problem is keeping the birds away from your food.

Cosmic Ray's Starlight Cafe

"Typical Disney Fare"

This is about what you should expect for counter service at WDW. limited menu but quick. Kids love the very basic audio anamatronics that out on a show while you eat.

La Cantina de San Angel

"Good and Quick"

If you like Mexican food eat at the San Angel Inn. If you don't have time, the Cantina de San Angel is a good alternative. The menu is not extensive but has enough to please most tastes. Nice location on the world showcase lagoon.

Liberty Tree Tavern

"All you can eat!!!"

This is a fun place to eat and the food is really good. We aways try to eat there. Limited array of characters but I really go for the food.

Tapestry of Dreams

"Recycled Parade"

This entire parade seems to have been salvaged from the Tapestry of Nations parade. I've seen it one too many times. See the first five "floats" and you've seen the entire parade, twice. Don't watch the entire parade - a great waste of time.

Share A Dream Come True Parade

"Interesting parade"

This is a good parade but seems designed to sell snow globes. I think that the imagination used to develop the parade is quite impressive. It is fun to see, once.

Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith

"Great Ride"

This is a good ride! Thank god Disney started turning people upside down! The acceleration at the begining is the best! It would be a GREAT ride if it was longer. The music helps the ride a lot!

IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth

"WoW u gotta c this"

The best show at WDW. excellent balance of technology, music and fireworks. It is worth the time to get a good spot for the show. A must see!!

Mickey's Jammin' Jungle Parade

"The best current parade"

This is the best of the current WDW parades. The floats are very well done and the parade is not too long. Disney has also made excellent use of colors on the floats.

Main Street Electrical Parade

"A Disney Classic"

A very fun nighttime parade. It could use a good refurbishment though. I guess oyu have to go to Califonia Adventure to see it now but it is fun to see.

Fantasy in the Sky

"Great setting for Firewor"

The MK is a fantastic for fireworks. The castle backed by fireworks is truly an awsome sight. But fireworks are starting to get overdone; you can see them almost everywhere now.

Fantasmic!

"Get there early"

This is a very well done show but getting there early enough to guarantee a seat can mean that you cut your park time by at least an hour. The effects are some of the best used in a WDW show and are rivaled only by the new EPCOT show Reflections of Earth.

River Country

"So different"

I think the 2 water slides at River Country are the best. Turns are very sharp and fast compared to BB and TL. $ value is excellent. We spend a whole day.

Disney Stars and Motor Cars Parade

"Good but not Disneys best"

Nice Parade. Excellent concept a little hard to carry off. Liked Toy Story Parade better.

Typhoon Lagoon

"Catch a wave..."

Swim with the sharks or learn to surf. Huge wave in wave pool. good rides. Overall not as good as BB but still a lot of fun.

Blizzard Beach

"Burrrr..What a thrill"

Can't say enough. Best water park I've ever been to. My kids really opened up to the "thrill" water rides and we all had a blast. lots to do.

California Grill

"What a View"

We ate Thanksgiving dinner there last year and it was very good. The view is spectacular and if you can get a good seat for the firewoeks you will be in for a great show. I do find that the wait is a little long at times even with a PS.

'Ohana

"The Peanut Sauce is GREAT"

I just LOVE O'hanas. The food is plentiful and quite tasty and the peanut sauce is absolutely incredible. The after dinner pineapple is also quite good. Nice selection of all you can eat meats.

Pirates of the Caribbean

"good ride"

I cant go one visit to disney without riding this ride. The ride is aweosme and i love it. I can get stuck though at the end of the ride by the jail. I cant wait until december so i can ride it.

Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith

"is there anything better"

I dont think thier is a better ride than this in walt disney world. This was my first ever looping coaster and i dont think I will regret it. I loved it. The theming of the builking is awesome and I dont think it matches up to any other rides. Going from 0-60 in less than 3 seconds was just the begining of it. Disney defintly needs more rides like this and it would be incredibly awesome if they did it. I was speachless of how smooth this ride was and how great it was.

Magic Kingdom

"Fun fun"

Can you find a better park than this. I have been to this park over 50 times, and I am only 15 years old. I love this park. I havent been able to go to and other parks in California, or paris, but i dont kow if would match up to this. I recomend going there during spring, during the week. At no matter what day or time you go it will be crowded.

Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party

"AWESOME"

This is an event I look forward to all year. I go to Walt Disney World at different times but I love going to this event. Not as many people go to this event and if you wait till the end there is nearly no one there. If you smart you go around and look for rides and you hope you find a short picture line, and hot chocolate line. If you have the time to go to this event it is awesome and I recomend getting in the area early and then go to planet hollywood, or some other things in downtown disney

Epcot International Food and Wine Festival

"Wow - Great FOOD"

If you like to eat you will love this event. Bring lots of money and try a little of everything. The food booths are all over and the food is great but it can get a little expensive.

Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party

"Watch out for the crowds"

Don't get me wrong. I LOVE this event. I just thing that it has gotten a little crowded. A lot of people come to see the parade so the attractions are not as bad as they could be. The picture locations are always packed. "free" cookies and hot choc. Ride rides during the first parade then see the late parade. the crowds get smaller (a lot smaller) as the night goes on but most people watch the first parade. If you have never been, go! It is fun.

E Ride Nights

"Small Crowds Good Rides"

We have always had tremendous success at E Nights. We often get off a ride and get right back on. It allows us to get a lot of rides and attractions done so that we can concentrate on other things during the day at the MK. If they offer an E-night while we are there we generally buy tickets. It is a good value and the park is much less croweded that during the day.

Disney's Polynesian Resort

"Incredible Experience"

The Poly is GREAT. We love the concept and the beach. The rooms are large and have ceiling fans. They also have the one of WDW's best restaurnats, O'Hana's. Short walk to the T&TC. Hotel grounds are so dark at night that it can be difficult to get around and easy to get lost. My kids like it but I prefer to stay at the Poly without them. It is a great place to spend a week as a couple! Glad they are doing a renovation, it was getting a little long in the tooth.

Disney's All Star Sports Resort

"Good value"

I like the theming of the sports BUT, it is always crowded with kids from sports teams or cheerleaders that are there for competition. We have stayed at the Sports twice and both times we have been awakened at 6:30am be cheerleaders practicing their routines before competition. That is fine and I kind of think that is why Disney made the Sports. I prefer the Music because it is more serious Disney people. The Movies get a lot of Families (many making their first trip to WDW). People at the Music seem to be DIE HARD WDW FANS on a budget.

Disney's All Star Music Resort

"Great Place Small Crowds"

We have stayed at eh Music seven times. We like it because it is less crowded than the Movies and the Sports always has some athletic convention (pop warner football, little league, etc.,) It is rather spread out but the walk is nice and the theming is neat. The buildings look best at night. The food court offers a good selection and the prices are nore reasonable than the moderate resorts.

Disney's All Star Movies Resort

"Great Place to Stay"

This is a wonderful hotel for the money. You get all of the Disney magic but it is less than half of some of the other hotels. My kids love it. The food court is also reasonably priced.

Tapestry of Nations

"Awe-Inspiring!!!"

This was the absolute best parade that WDW has ever had. There was a magic quality about it, and the Sage Of Time was the best character out there. The best way to put it, ToN was an aew-inspiring experience. Unfortunately, some of the best parts were revised and/or removed for ToD.

Tapestry of Dreams

"Still a Great Parade"

Unfortunately, ToD lives in it's predecessor's shadow. Although still an awe inspiring spectacle, ToD just isn't Tapestry of Nations. ToD gets the nod as #1 current parade in the World, with help from my memories of ToN.

SpectroMagic

"Second Best Disney Parade"

In conjunction with Fantasy in the Sky, this is "the way" to end your day at the MK. Spectromagic only rates behind the "Tapestry" parades at Epcot as the best parade at WDW. This is fun and imaginative, the definition of WDW.

Share A Dream Come True Parade

"A Great tribute to Walt"

This parade is not something I waould label as a "must see". However, It has it's merits and is very well done. The snowglobe "theme" is cute & very original.

IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth

"Absolutely Amazing!!!"

I cannot say enough about this presentation. One word could sum it up..."WOW"! The Imagineers went above and beyond, and then went even further, when designing RoE. I could watch this show every night and never, EVER get sick of it. It has it all and then some (can you tell I like it?). This is also the show/attraction in all of WDW, that I get most emotionally connected to.

Fantasy in the Sky

"A Disney Classic!"

Although not as long or overly spectacular as Fantasmic! or Reflections of Earth, Fastasy In the Sky remains a must see as any trip we take to WDW. It is "THE" definitive way to end a day at The Magic Kingdom.

Fantasmic!

"One of WDW's Best!"

This show is amazing. From the first time I saw Fantasmic!, I loved it. I feel it is one of Disney's best night-time shows, second ONLY to Illuminations: Reflection of Earth at Epcot.

Disney's All Star Music Resort

"Great place to stay"

Not a bad place to stay! The rooms are basic, with pretty good theming. They decorated the area well to cover the stairwells. The walk to the main building isn't that bad. The pools are big, but no water slides. The bar is a bit on the high dollar side, but good spirits all around. Check in takes longer, they don't have as many people working the desks as at the moderate and Deluxe resorts.

Bus Transportation

"You get what you pay for"

If you pay the high dollars to stay at WDW, then you will have busses all over the place. If you want to save some money and stay at the "Value Resorts" you will not get anywhere on time! 2 Months ago, I stayed at the Port Orleans Resort. We had busses going to and from the resort every 5 minutes. Hardly a wait at all! This past weekend, (October 4-6) We stayed at the All Star Music Resort. We waited for busses from several different places for more than 20 minutes. This happened going from MGM/ Downtown Disney, and Epcot. The lines for Space Mountain and Splash Mountain were shorter than the wait on the busses!

IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth

"Absolute must see!!!"

This is the topper of all fireworks shows! I have never seen the like. All of the other fireworks shows may claim to be synchronized with the music, but this one does it the best. Not to mention the globe opening at the end with all of the fireworks for the finale. I cannot get enough of this show! Go see it!!

Electric Umbrella Restaurant

"Upstairs"

Love to go upstairs and eat. Never a lot of people and its very quiet.

Casey's Corner

"Eat at Midnight"

During E-nights, Casey's is open also for the three hours, so we eat after midnight at Casey's. Love sitting on the bleachers and watching the old cartoons. One of my favorite things to do while I'm there.

Fantasy in the Sky

"A great ending"

The music, the fireworks, the backround, Tinkerbell!!! But beware, that tree that gave you shade earlier in the day may just take away your fireworks view. While you are watching pay attention to the music, it adds tremendously.

Fantasmic!

"My son's favorite"

Although it can be intense at times, this is a favorite because of all of the characters that come out. I have not seen Fantasmic DL but I am looking forward to it.

Disney Stars and Motor Cars Parade

"Good but not the best"

A great chance to see the stars. The cars are very well done. Also the chance for the kids to see Playhouse Disney was a treat.

Mr. Toad's Wild Ride

"Where are you???"

Mr Toad where are you???? I hear you are still in California??? I am very glad to hear that!! This was my daughter's favorite ride! You talk about cardboard cutouts??? What about Snow White? and the new Pooh ride has them too. Just a little better paint job hum. Pooh is good,( a little short for the wait!) but they could have found another place for it and LEFT Mr. Toad!!! I remember waiting and waiting for this ride . Just one more time before we go, please! Thank goodness for the two tracks/sides. You can not imagine the sadness we felt when it was missing-- as we had wanted to take my granson on it during his first Disney trip! Boo Hoo---- You are truely missed! Mr Toad!!!

If You Had Wings

"Unique"

Ohhhhhhhh My------ I can still hear that song-- If you had wings ,If you had wings--- ringing in my memory. A truley unique ride for its time. It was sponsered by EASTERN AIRLINES!!!! As a former Flight Attendant for the airline it had a special place for me. This was a great ride for its time, it took you through a few countries and gave you a taste and flavor of each as you passed by in you moving vehicle. Just as if you were visiting. The end of the ride was especilally amazing, as you did feel like you were flying and had wings. soaring into the sky with the vision of clouds around you!!! It was also a fast moving line and always a good place to cool off on a hot summer's day.... I miss "MY" wings----- :(

Mitsukoshi Teppanyaki Dining Room

"A Top Ten Dinner"

We eat here every trip to Disney, great food, huge portions, a very entertaining meal, great atmosphere and unbelievable service, kids love it. Penny pinchers beware, Mitsukoshi is quite an expensive meal for a family of four, but worth every penny.

Liberty Tree Tavern

"Very Neat Experience"

We ate so much of the rolls. We love the dressing with Strawberries in it. The turkey and steak were perfect. We also had dessert. My mother-in-law and I a sundae and my husband had a pecan sauce with pound cake. Yes, the characters were great. Minnie dressed in colonial style dress. We also had the perfect spot right outside to watch SpectoMagic Parade. :-)

Hollywood and Vine

"great place"

This is my husband's fave place to eat breakfast at MGM. We loved the characters dressed in the mobster theme. The service was very good. The characters again treated us just like kids.

Cape May Cafe

"A very good Secret"

This is a very big secret character breakfast. We enjoyed this so much we are going back on the 12th of Oct.

1900 Park Fare

"Good Food"

1900 Park Fare was very good. The food was great. The characters treated me, my husband and mother-in-law as if we were kids.

Disney's Days of Christmas

"My New Fav Store!"

I love Christmas...and Disney..so what a perfect store to be in if you love them both! The sights, music and smells in this store transport you to a few days before Christmas it seems... So many ornaments...so little space to back them in the suitcase without fear of them breaking...lol I thought they had a bigger selection of Dept. 56 Christmas Village type stuff... but they did not *sigh*. The only Dept 56 stuff they had...was only a few Village houses they made for Disney a few years ago. They do have a wide selection of Christmas themed Disney Plush Characters... and a nice area in back to get things embroidered and personalized....Like robes...mickey ears....and hand painted ornaments. If you must do one store in DTD...make it this one. Its Full of Christmas & Disney Magic.

Alien Encounter

"Dont drag kids onto !"

Alien Encounter...loved it... The Pre-show is great where a really high tech audio animatronic robot demos the new state of the art Transporter...cool! Then into the theater...where you sit and a harness lowers onto your Shoulders... I found that to be a bit uncomfy. Great FX... Great Audio... A must do for grown ups! But, one thing really bothered me..... Some really white trashy lady... was dragging her poor, terrified, had to be no older than 5 year old little girl onto the ride This upset me seeing this....the mom had her by the hand...and was literally dragging her into the queue. The mom said "Its not scary...Stop CRYING!" The CM at the entrance said...."mame...it really is SCARY" I followed and told the mom the same thing.... she just rolled her eyes at me....and dragged her kid into the queue area. Great....now the kid will be scarred for life...poor thing...that mother really really pi$$ed me off... So we did alien encounter...and of course....all the little ones....that went on...came out crying and terrified. Including the poor little girl with the white trash mother...(the reason I say white trash folks is cause you really had to see the way she was dressed and acting in public). So take your little ones across the way to Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin instead.

50's Prime Time Café

"PB&J shake = Great"

Lunch at the Prime Time Cafe...Nice...loved the meatloaf....REALLY LOVED the PB&J Shake! Its like they took some ice cream and and a Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich and put it in a blender. I know it might sound a little icky, but its great! ....Our server on the other had....had a really thick accent...he was from Morocco..and we were his "cousins" (everyone...servers..play as if they are a memeber of the family..and you are eating in moms kitchen) ...and I thought I was the only one having a hard time understanding him.... turns out I was not....cause the folks at the next table...asked if I understood him...I said "I am trying to" ...none the less...great food...great CM....just a really bad/thick accent....

Disney's Port Orleans Resort French Quarter

"Jazzy Little Resort"

#NAME?

Spaceship Earth

"most boring ride EVER!!!!"

OMG I WOULD RATHER BE SHOT THAN GO ON THIS RIDE!! Maybe because i'm a teen, I guess if I was old or something I may have liked this but I just CAN'T go on this ride. I just CAN'T stand it. It's 3213214342 minutes too long and 321431243254 times too boring. I know EPCOT is supposed to be about learning and stuff but this is rediculous. SO BORINGGGGG!!!!!! Oh, but it's pretty to look at from the outside.....:-/

Test Track

"Fav Ride At WDW"

I hate EPCOT. I really do. It is SOOOOO boring. My whole life i've had passes to Disney (I live like 5 minutes away) and I used to never use them to go to EPCOT, unless my mom just wanted to take me to eat or something. Because of this ride I now go all the time! I usually go late so i've never had a long wait in long lines, but I would wait to go on this ride. This ride is just so much fun.

WEDway PeopleMover

"Good!"

I usually always go on this. It is a fast little thing to do without a wait in Tommarrowland. The seats are also very comfy. ;)

The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh

"Great!"

This is my fav ride in FantasyLand. Yeah, Toad was fun but this is so much better. The track is really awesome and the animatronics are so cute! Fans of Pooh will be SO happy on this ride it is a Pooh lovers dream. Plus the gift shop is cute--it even has Pooh hunny you can buy. :) You have to go on this atleast once it is very cute.

Splash Mountain

"Fav Ride At MK"

This is my fav ride at MK! This is also the best log flume type ride i've ever been on. It is a great Disney ride-it mixes super animatronics with big drops. Kids will love the cute animals and songs and teens will like the drop. It is worth waiting for too because the line has things to look at and the ride itself is very long.

Space Mountain

"Great!"

Come on...you gotta love Space Mountain! It's fun and scary but not TOO scary for the little ones. The line is fun and interesting also so it is really worth the wait.

Snow White's Scary Adventures

"Ummm..."

Hello? This ride is BAD. This needs to be replaced. There is never a line so go ahead and go on it but it is NOTHING special. The animatronics just sit there, they don't even move and it just seems more like a carnival ride than a theme park ride. Outdated! They need to redo the ride or put something better in.

Pirates of the Caribbean

"Two Thumbs Up"

Great Ride! I've never had a long wait for this either. It's a must do for me, and it's just a fun ride to go on with great theming. Be sure to check it out.

Peter Pan's Flight

"Good For Kids"

This is a good ride. But it's not worth waiting that long. It's really short and not the most amazing ride...kids love it though and it's great for Peter Pan fans.

Mr. Toad's Wild Ride

"It was OK."

Average, it was a good ride i guess but it was replaced with something far better and new. Kids don't know Toad, they know Pooh and they obviously love him better. This ride was better than Snow White, but it was still outdated and needed to go. But RIP Toad!

it's a small world

"Boring BUT..."

Yes this ride is boring. But the line is always short, you always see something different, it's cool inside, the song is fun, and it's just a cute ride. I think it's boring but I still go on it, it's also a good thing to do if you just wanna talk about what you are doing next or something..

Haunted Mansion

"CLASSIC!"

Excellent! You have to ride this! I go on it everytime i'm at Disney World, plus, my mother used to work there when she was a teen so it has special meaning to me. You always see different things and if you are younger you will get a good scare. :) Must Ride attraction, although the line is very boring and hot....

Dumbo the Flying Elephant

"Great for Kids!"

Kids love this and it is obviously a classic. You have to go on it atleast once.

Dreamflight

"Ok...."

It was alright but Buzz Lightyear is better. Plus this was not a good ride for Tommarrowland.

Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin

"Good Ride!"

This fits the theme of Tommarrowland SO well! This ride was a great idea. I love how you can move your own cars, unlike Men in Black Alien Attack at Universal. (I like MIB better though but both are good) Plus, all kids nowadays know and love Buzz Lightyear. All Toy Story fans will enjoy this, and it's a ride you can go on over and over again because each time is different.

Big Thunder Mountain Railroad

"Wildest Ride in the West!"

This is a great ride for MK! Kids love it and adults can have fun on it too. The theming is really great, even though you don't really notice it when you are on the ride. My only complaint it that I don't like the line, it's really hot kinda boring, especially at the begining when you can't even watch the cars go by. But great ride!

Alien Encounter

"Pretty Good"

This is a good thing to put in Tommarrowland, it fits the theming very well. I agree with everyone who said it's not as good the second time though, that's very true it's better when you don't know whats going to happen.

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea

"ehhh"

This was far better than what there now--nothing, but it wasn't a very good ride. They should really put SOMETHING in it's place though other than just a character meet and greet.

Jim Henson's MuppetVision 3-D

"Don't miss this!"

This is *the* best 3D show on Disney property, and with Honey, I Shrunk the Audience and Tough to be a Bug as competition, that's really saying something. Even non-Muppet-fans will enjoy this, but true Muppet lovers will find themselves in a vast heaven of Muppety silliness. If you have the time, stop and read *everything*. There are fun posters all down and back up the long queuing area on the side, fun doors to read as you go into the preshow area, and tons of crates to read and fun props to look at in the preshow area. Keep going back...you'll keep finding new things. There are lots of little unexpected Muppet touches all over the building, too. This has IMHO the best and most intricately designed preshow and queue areas in all of WDW. And for a hardcore Muppet Show fan, nothing compares to when you step into that theatre for the very first time.

Stage 1 Company Store

"A Must for Muppet Fans!!!"

This store almost qualifies as an attraction for serious Muppet lovers. The foyer is full of muppety fun (if you have the time, read *everything*!) and there's more muppety goodness on the walls inside. It morphs into a normal store as it goes toward the door that faces Pizza Planet. There are all kinds of Muppet merchandise for sale--this is usually where my souvenir budget gets blown.

Ice Station Cool

"Cool down here!"

I have two words that describe what makes me revisit this attraction several times a day: Vegita Beta! You go through an icy snowy cave (really icy, and really snowy, that is) past a frozen caveman into a little Coca-Cola store with lots of Coke merchandise and several stations to try free Coke company drinks from around the world. Be sure to get your friends to try the Beverly first...it's more fun to see their faces when you're not busy scrunching your own up in disgust!

Katsura Grill

"Excellent food"

I love this restaurant! As a former resident of Japan, I'm very critical of Japanese restaurants, but this one never lets me down. I won't make a WDW trip without hitting it at least once. There isn't much room inside for dining, though. Don't skip the ice creams or the edamame.

Auntie Gravity's Galactic Goodies

"Yummy smoothies!!"

I won't make a visit to Tomorrowland without getting a smoothie from Auntie Gravity's! So far every time I've gotten them they come in these really cool (but small) dishwasher-safe cups you're meant to reuse. The only drawback is that these cups have no lids. They also serve a tropical juice blend that I really love, but they don't serve it in a large enough size for me, so I always have to order two juices and ask them to pour them both into a 32 oz cup for me. Often I'll go get a smoothie or a juice to go with a Cosmic Ray's meal (though that wouldn't be a good idea during peak seasons, I'm sure).

Akershus Royal Banquet Hall

"Lots of food!"

This is an expensive buffet, but it has lots of good food on it. I rated it kind of low on Kid Friendly because a lot of the choices on the buffet would only be chosen by the most adventurous little ones. There are a few things most kids would eat, though, so they won't go hungry.

Mama Melrose's Ristorante Italiano

"Not all that great"

I got the Fantasmic Dining Experience one trip and chose this as the restaurant because I love Italian food. The menu items all looked great, but our food didn't turn out all that well. I got some kind of pasta dish with several kinds of seafood, but my seafood wasn't very fresh & tasted "fishy". My parents weren't much happier with their meals, either. The portion sizes were larger than we expected, but a lot of not-that-great food isn't any better than a small amount of good food. Overall it felt like we should have had a much better dinner experience for the amount it cost us. (Incidently, we weren't as pleased as we expected with our Fantasmic Dining Experience seats, either. We still had to arrive early and we've had much better views just walking in through the main entrance.)

Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Restaurant

"Fun to do once."

The idea of this restaurant is awesome, but it's just not all that pleasant to eat in. The trailers and clips were a lot of fun, but that was really the only part of the experience I enjoyed. Each car seat only holds two people and they all face the same direction, so when I went with my two friends, they were in a seat together facing forward and I was in the seat behind them talking to the backs of their heads. The tabletops are shelves across the "dashboard" area and they have a light running along the length where the table met the seatback. With the lights so dim in the restaurant, it was unpleasant trying to see my food silhouetted against the table-light. My food was kind of bland, but my friends' entrees were better. All in all, it's definitely fun to do at least once, but not an experience I'll ever want to repeat.

Trail's End Restaurant

"your ONE meal for the day"

I wanted to write about Trails End Buffeteria because I think it is one of the best values for lunch anywhere at the WDW Resort. For 10 dollars the unlimited refills and visits to the buffet make this a real rare gem among the resorts. Its also a real getaway from the bustle of the busy All Star Resorts and theme park eateries...On the menu onthe day I was there: Two Soups - (A chili and a chicken based soup) Corn Bread, Biscuits, Full salad Bar, Macaroni and Cheese, Pulled BBQ Pork Sandwiches, Make your own buritos, Fried Chicken, Pizza, Sweet Corn, Peas, and Apple Cobbler for dessert Fast Friendly beverage service and a great wait staff!! Four Mickey fingers up!!

Akershus Royal Banquet Hall

"Expensive, but yummy!"

I really like this restaurant. Their food is delicious, but there is admittedly a lot of fish offers and so you've gotta have some tolerance of sea life cuisine. It's buffet-style, so portion size is no worry. Don't go half-hungry, because it is very expensive. The food was great though, and if I found something not to my liking, there were 3 or 4 other things I enjoyed. Best Norwegian "type" food I've found at a restaurant. Next best thing to real Norwegian family cooking. The buffet style atmosphere adds to this :) Talk to your waiter/waitress. Norwegians are really friendly :) Next time, i'll try dessert, last time I was too full. Final warning: It will make your pocketbook hurt, but it's worth the spurlge atleast once if you like Norwegian food.

The Hollywood Brown Derby

"Yuckey and Cramped"

I hated everything about this restaurant. I'm not one to normally bash restaurants and I even give really bad waiters really good tips and chalk it up toa bad day, bu the restaurant itself was horrible. The food was nearly inedible, the verdict from a panel of those trying to "enjoy" their meal. The seating was cramped and not made for anyone over 5'11. The service was nonchalant and looked bored, waiting for someone else to fill our space. We payed way too much for a meal we really disliked and will never do again.

Le Cellier Steakhouse

"Yummy, but petite."

Le Cellier's food was wonderful, and the service above and beyond anything I expected. The portions were small though. A few things weren't my favorite flavors, like the breadsticks they offer which are soft-pretzle-like and come in various flavors (none of which I really liked) but it just wasn't my type of thing. Same goes for the soup everyne raves about. If you like cheese soup, you'll love it, if you don't, give it a try and atleast you can say you've tried a wonderful cheese soup but still don't like it ;) -Rob

River Country

"Old Fashion Swimming Hole"

The white water rapids is one of the best rides at a disney waterpark. I also enjoy the two long flume rides along with the two slide that drop into the pool.

Wonders of China

"Bad Narration"

I went to see it for the first time two weeks ago... They now have these Chinese children perform before the show, they do all these "gymnast" type stunts. It's really not amusing to someone like me, cause I was just waiting for one of them to break their tailbone or collarbone, that's how extreme their performance was. And I also see it as a form of child labor, so I'm not a big fan of it. As to the show, this old guy comes on and says he's a wizard or something like that, and he doesn't have the best speaking capabilities, so I didn't like it right off the bat. So he goes off screen, and says, explore my China, and I'll see you in a while, so I was like, damn, we have to see him again, so strike 2. Strike 3 is showing the Emperor's palace in Beijing or wherever it was, I didn't like this because I already have no respect for the way they run things over there, I didn't need to see a picture of their emperor on my WDW time, so strike 3. It didn't take long to get the 3 strikes, but it was an okay film, if they stayed away from Beijing and their government, it would have been a lot better...I don't need to know that the royal family made their people suffer, just want to see China, not the horrible history...

Typhoon Lagoon

"Great Waterpark"

This is my favorite waterpark. I love the wave pool and the shark reef.

The American Adventure

"Great Show!"

Great show, I love going up the escalators looking at all the different flags, I really enjoy the walk to the theatre. I love all the statues they have inside the theatre. The show is great, always enjoy seeing Sam and Ben doing their thing. The show is a great history lesson, if you don't know a lot about U.S. history, shame on you, but you can learn a thing or two from the show. A really great show, it should live on forever...

Disney's Animal Kingdom

"Next!"

Ok, it's time for my one and only negative review... I was waiting so long for the 1998 opening of the newest Disney Park, I was so excited. I made it down later that year to find one of the worst times I've ever had in WDW. The park was just too crowded, and for some reason much hotter than any other WDW park, the park is not open enough, everything is cramped. You have to walk through a mile of plants just to get to the tree of life, that's a mistake...the safari was very disappointing, I've been on it 3 times and only once the bridge was working. Hardly any animals were out, the Six Flags Great Adventure car safari beats the living crap out of Kilamanjaro Safari. It's Tough to be a Bug is a great show, no complaints there. Dinosaur was good, dinoland is my favorite part of the park. The only animals I care about seeing are the silverbacks, because I saw "Gorilla's in the Mist" in 7th Grade geography class, so I've been a fan ever since. So nowadays, I go to the park, see the silverbacks, and get out as fast as I can, so I go for 30 mins and leave. Since 1998, I've been 3 other times, that's how much I love the park! That's my opinion...

Disney Magic

"Love it!"

I loved the shipe the 2 times that i went on it. (the 100th voyage 4 day cruise, then the 7 day) My ONLY complaint is that that the pools are to crowded. Everything else, words cant describe how much i love it and how much fun we had!

ESPN Wide World of Sports

"Mixed Reactions"

The first time I ever went to the WWoS, I was very disappointed, because you had to pay separate admission, just for a stupid tour...that was two years ago... I finally went back this August, and it just so happens that there was an Orlando Ray's game being played, so I caught the game and it was a great time. The stadium is beautiful, and the teams put on a good show, they played hard. I was very impressed with the game, it was only $5 bucks to catch the game, I got to sit in the second row with absolutely no one around me! It was a great time. After the game I walked around the grounds and I wanted so bad to just go to a field and bat some balls or golf some balls, I just needed to get some energy out, unfortunately you can't, but I'd love to work there and just screw around all day... Overall, I would love to play there as an athlete, I just think, the majority of the time, the complex is empty and not being occupied. I wouldn't pay for a tour, on dead days, they just leave the gates open for guests to roam without paying admission...

Beauty and the Beast -- Live on Stage

"Wow! Great"

This is a great show! I always make a point to see this when I get chance to go to MGM Studios. Beauty and the Beast is one of my favourite films and the show manages to match, with the key songs performed very well through to the finale. I also want to say that during the times I have seen this show this year - the pre-show/warm up act, '4 for a Dollar' (I think thats what they are called) are brilliant. A great Vocal performance of some popular songs to get the crowd going by 4 'Cast Members'

Test Track

"I Love Test Track"

I have loved this ride from the very first time I rode it. In my opinion it is one of the best themed rides ever created by Disney.

Walt Disney Presents

"A great tribute"

The first time I went through this I was a little hesitant. I was really looking forward to it, but I thought it could not hold up to my expectations. I was wrong. The attraction is wonderful, the whole family loved it. The kids even found the movie to be entertaining. This attraction was long overdue.

The Crystal Palace

"Fun with Pooh"

I love this character meal. I would love to dine here when I go there because that would be a fun way to eat there after it reopens. I love Pooh & his friends & I wanna see Pooh & his friends dine with me.

Discovery River Cruise

"A relaxing trip around AK"

The original River Cruise was a very relaxing boat trip around the rivers of Animal Kingdom. The boat trip was never meant to be a "ride" or show, but was intended to provide a leasurly cruise to take in some wonderful views of the park. Many guests interpreted the cruise as being some kind of major attraction causing huge lines, and then complaints when they found out it was not a thrill ride! This caused the cruise to eventually close after going through various efforts to create more than just a cruise. A great shame in my opinion. The boats were wonderfully "aged" to fit the theme, and hopefully one day they can return!

Dinosaur

"Etreme"

Can we say FUN!!!! this ride is awesome. if you miss this ride you missed everything. Note- young kids should not go on this ride, it is dark, fast, bumpy, and ther are dinosaurs popping out at you from every direction

Primeval Whirl

"AWESOME!!!!"

This ride is being critized by too many people. They say that it"lacks the magic". I would hate to tell these people but the ride was built to be a carnival type ride and that is what it is. You cannot compare this ride with Pirates if the Carribean or space mountain. It is not meant to be compared to these rides, so it is unfair to try to do so. The ride itself is very funny, as long as you dont get dizzy easily. If you look at the themeing you can follow the story line. I think it is a very funny ride and you give it a try at least once

'It's Tough to be a Bug'

"SImply the best"

This is the best 3d show in any of the four parks. It also has fabulou effects. IAnd be prepared for a few surprises when the stink bug visits

Chef Mickey's Restaurant

"Best Breakfast"

I live in florida and whenever i go to disney for the weekend i always make it a point to stay and eat at at chef mickey's . A very mice way to start my day

Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith

"Far out ride!!!"

Cool ride!!! A best ride I could ever have in MGM!!! Being on the ride wasn't the music because it isn't the best, so I've got to go to the lockers for places to store loose articles so they'll be no loose article places for me!!!

1900 Park Fare

"Great meals!!!"

I love the character meals!!! I would have breakfast with stars & dinner with Winnie the Pooh & his friends. I like Pooh & I love to dine with Pooh & his friends.

Whispering Canyon Cafe

"it was okay"

I guess I am the only one so far who did not care for this place. The wait staff makes one liners all night and poke fun at the guests, however, we got a very shy, quiet girl. She did not make the mood fun and my kids were very disappointed that everyone else got to have fun! It was even my husbands birthday and she asked him if he wanted a song, you dont ask you just do!! they sang to so many others! my kids were sad since we had gone here for dad's big day and didnt get nutin'. O well. Try something else next year.

Yachtsman Steakhouse

"most awesome steak"

The Charred Black Angus Bourbon Strip Steak was to die for!! We also had the mushrooms marinated in comyac (?spelling) were also excellent. I did not even like mushrooms before I tried them here, now eat them all the time! We already have another reservation for November, but we still do not bring the kids. It seems to intimate for that.

Yachtsman Steakhouse

"First rate steak"

This is definately the best restaurant to go to for a good steak.

Whispering Canyon Cafe

"Fun and good food"

This is a great restaurant to go to if you want to have some good down home fun!

Chef Mickey's Restaurant

"The Best Character meal"

This is by far the best place to enjoy a character buffet meal.

Cape May Cafe

"Great buffet restaurant"

We loved both the charecter breakfast and the Clam bake. This restaurant is an excellent choice!

Boatwright's Dining Hall

"Good family restaurant"

My family and I have enjoyed this restaurant many times. We love the whole southern theme. The food is good and plentiful.

Body Wars

"Lookin' good ride!!!"

I think what I like this ride is the inside design of that white doors like Star Tours has. Blood doesn't always make me woozy 'cause it's the best ride I love.

Disney's Grand Floridian Resort and Spa

"Elegant hotel!!!"

This hotel looks elegant & luxury!!! I can sit outside to see the night & have fun watching stars!!! Having a massage or a spa? You can take a break by having it.

Test Track

"Best Ride in Epcot"

Great ride except for the frequent breakdowns. The outdoor speed portion is the best, just wish it could be a little longer.

Spaceship Earth

"Epcot Classic"

I give it an overall excellent even though it is not the most exciting ride in the park, but b/c it is a ride that stands the time and is still great even today.

Who Wants To Be A Millionaire-Play It!

"Is that you final review?"

Great show, just like the real thing. Different show each time you go in, so that makes it a little more interesting. Not great for the young kids though.

Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular!

"Great Action"

Great show. The young kids love it. Not too intense, but alot of action.

Sounds Dangerous

"Pretty Weak"

Pretty weak for Drew Carey. He should have better show at disney. The headphones used to be better too. But now they aren't as good.

Casey's Corner

"If you're a hot dog fan"

Best place for lots of hot dog fans!!! My husband from Portland, Oregon always likes this restaurant at WDW.

Walt Disney World Monorail System

"Great red monorail!!!"

I love the red monorail the best & it looks really cool!!! I can't get enough time to get to the line for some reason.

Blizzard Beach

"Chilly water park!!!"

You can't miss it when you're in spring riding on these thrill rides & have fun eating snacks & drinks!!!

Virgin Megastore

"My fav. DVD store!!!"

I love this DVD store!!! It has John Wayne, Anime & much much more!!! We were going there to look for John Wayne & Anime DVDs for my souvenirs & go get them!!!

Disney Magic

"Beautiful cruise!!!"

I love this beautiful, big black cruise!!! It has a lot of designs on it & I love it too!!! When people liked the cruise, I saw hundreds of people going on it & it was likely crowded, but I wish I could go on this cruise.

Ice Station Cool

"Smart Watermelon !"

A Coca-Cola Sponsored POP taste test from around the world..... Smart Watermelon from Japan is the best tasting soda I have ever had! It was like a bubbly watermelon Jolly-Rancher...YUM! I wish we had it here in the US. Beverly from Italy.., on the other hand....made me gag...and almost throw up....talk about a nasty after taste.... The Gifts are a joke to...$59 bucks for a Coca-Cola polo shirt...I think not.... A Good place to get cooled off and Re-hydrated though.

World of Disney

"HUGE! Great Selection!"

.....and you can use your Disney Club card discount here for the same stuff you see in the other stores...but cant get your discount at... I got my Monorail black train set here...got my discount....shipped it home...so I did not have to pay tax....so it worked out great....anything and everything disney...you will find it here....also....get the 100YoM Screen saver...its really cool and has tons of great pictures!

Animation Gallery

"Posters and Cels !"

Expensive...you bet.....but alot like the Art of Disney...great selection of posters...cels and figures. Nice just to stoll thru and check out the art.

Liberty Tree Tavern

"Very Nice setting..."

I ate in the George Washington room....loved it... the red carpeting and dark wood paneling made this a very nice setting... The pot roast was tender and fell apart at the touch of the fork....excellent... The CM are great here as well....oh...and if someone in your dinning part is having there birthday....make sure you let your server know.

Main Street Gallery

"Posters and more....."

This shop is located near the train station and Fire Station on Main Street....I had seen a Monorail poster at the Art of Disney a few days ago....and found here as well....that was a great thing....as I really did not have the energy to go back to Downtown Disney...yeah..its kinda expensive....30 bucks for a poster....but you are not going to find this stuff anywhere else out side of WDW.

Beauty and the Beast -- Live on Stage

"Cute,great 4 kids"

I was passing by this theater...and the CM was almost begging us to come in and watch this...lol Its a nice show... colorful costumes...true to the movie...and great audio as well....not a bad seat in the whole house... Not to long.....and not to short of a show...Its Just right.

Bus Transportation

"A cleaner, on time CTA!"

Its like the CTA (Chicago Transit Authority)...only with less cussing... alot cleaner...more reliable and ON TIME!....lol I had no major issues with bus service... I did wind up standing alot....heading back to my resort after a day at the parks....I dont think I ever waited more than 20min for a bus...except on a Satuday night after the Parade and Fireworks at the MK....THAT was a nightmare.

Kona Cafe

"TONGA TOAST RULES !"

Tonga Toast is a piece of sourdough bread...stuffed with bananas....cooked then rolled in Cinnamon and sugar...and is the most awsome French Toast I have had in my whole life....and I make some great french toast myself....lol There Coffee is out of this world to! Service was most excellent....and the Kona Cafe has now become a must do on my list...anytime I am in the Central FL. area!

Mouse About Town

"Nice Menswear"

This is a great store... from Mickey Golf Shirts...to all kinds of disney themed golf stuff. Its REALLY expensive though Nice selection of menswear....cool polo shirts!

Plaza Ice Cream Parlor

"Great Way to end your Day"

Nothing like ending the day with a stoll down Main Street and some yummy Ice Cream!. I got the butter pecan...it was great...I highly suggest the sundays that come in the freshly made waffel bowls...with lots of Hot Fudge!

Columbia Harbour House

"Clam Chowder Bread Bowl !"

WOW...long lines...and tons of tired little ones screaming and crying... I ordered the clam chowder in the bread bowl..it was pretty good....I also ate upstairs....a heck of alot more quite up there....I HIGHLY suggest eating up stairs....its like I had the whole place to myself !

Walt Disney World Monorail System

"Amazing"

It is amazing to me how a transportation device can capture so many hearts. The monorail is Disney to a tee. It is just a great way to travel.

Kona Cafe

"Average Dining"

We ate here for dinner one night during our vacation and while it had a few good dishes, I wasn't overly impressed by it. I'm a very picky eater so I wasn't able to find much that I would eat, but what I did eat was decent. It did have a very fun, friendly atmosphere as the people got the children involved in hula-hoop games and had fun with the guests. It wasn't bad, but wasn't anything particularly wonderful either. I guess I can recommend it, though.

Indiana Jones Adventure Outpost

"Join the Indy Club"

Located, naturally, close to the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular attraction in Disney Studios, this is THE Indiana Jones store for fans. It makes me wish I had actually purchased something because when I'm in there I'm always tempted to pick up a leather jacket or an Indy fedora. It's got the basic types of souveniers, but is still a worthy stop. Next time I'll have to pick up a t-shirt or something. Even if you don't want to buy anything, it's worth a look.

Snow White's Scary Adventures

"Fantasyland's 2nd Best"

Snow White's Scary Adventure is second only to Peter Pan's Flight as the best rides in Fantasyland. It includes great theming, appropriately spooky scenery, and the typical happy ending. I just wish that they had the old scenery to look at while on line where you can look at the window on the side of the castle and each time the drapes open you see the queen and then the witch. But the witch is seen enough in the ride so that's good. Small children may be frightened, but not too bad.

Sounds Dangerous

"Lousy"

Sounds Dangerous is a lousy attraction and a major waste of time. Basically you sit in a room with headphones, most of the time in complete darkness, and listen as Drew Carey breathes heavy into his microphone. The show is neither amusing nor clever. I wished I hadn't checked it out and so will you if you decide to see it. Do yourself a favor and pass on by this "attraction".

Disney's Polynesian Resort

"Nice Big Rooms"

I stayed there Sept 13-20 / 2002 and it was great the biggest hotel room I have Ever Stayed in. Close to TTC , you get to see the castle everyday. I would stay there again.

IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth

"OUTSTANDING!!!!"

I saw Reflections on Earth in 2000 when it was illuminations 2000!. This show was well done. The most beautiful fireworks show I ever seen. The music made me emotional but the pyrotecnics were wonderful I will be back next year to see Reflections on Earth. GREAT JOB DISNEY!!!!!

The Campsites at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort

"Home away from home"

Fort wildernes homes are a great value for families who can't afford the high price resorts. The homes are clean, roomy, and comfortable, the beds are also comfortable. I stayed in one of the homes in 1998 and in 2000. They are great for people whith respatory problems thanks to air conditioning. I plan to come back to disney world in 2003 i hope my family will stay in fort wildernes again.

Fantasmic!

"Phenomenal!"

This is a must see for every guest! The theming, and the effects are amazing! The best part is towards the end, but I won't spoil it for those who haven't seen it!!!

Disney Stars and Motor Cars Parade

"Awesome!"

I love this parade! The theming fits the park wonderfully, and there are so many characters to see!! I love how they have a streetmosphere performer narrate the parade, they are so talented and funny!!

Ice Station Cool

"ice station cool"

Can't beleive this attraction is still around. It provides something consumable for free, which you rarely see in a theme park. It's great!

Horizons

"horizons"

We really miss this ride. It was the most entertaining ride in epcot. There was rarely a line {which is probably why they closed it,} but it was an entertaining show that gave us a lot of joy over the years.It was not a "thrill ride", it was not horribly loud, and all family members could enjoy it.

Rose and Crown Dining Room

"rose and crown dining ro"

We have been disapointed in the rose and crown on our last few visits. The quality of the food seems to be suffering. About the only really good dish there is the fish and chips. At one time {pre-1998} we enjoyed the food there . Don't know what happened.

The Hollywood Brown Derby

"brown derby"

One of the nicest restaurants on the property. The ever changing menu always has something new. The food is teriffic, the ambiance is wonderfull. We make sure we eat here everytime we visit the studios

Disney Vacation Club

"old key west"

This has to be the most convenient resort going. You can always park right by tour room. It is also very quiet

'Ohana

"I would check it out for"

I am not a big fan of eating meat but they had enought Food for me I only ate the chicken and the shrimp both on the salty side but the sides where great liked the rice and the salad, But the best was the Pinapple and Carmel my favorite dessert in all of the magic kingdom, Check out the Lupa Lupa for a drink at the lounge its a great drink.

Dinosaur

"EXTREME TERROR!!"

When i first rode Dinosaur in 1998 I was amaized at how much was put in to make this ride what it is today. I felt like i realy went back to the time when dinosaurs ruled the earth. But to tell you the truth the experience was very frightning at times, especialy when the carnotaur jumped out at the car. The end of the ride was the best part.

Walt Disney World Monorail System

"The highway in the sky!"

Every time i come to Disney world the Monorail has to be the first thing i have to ride. It is the best way to get to the magic kingdom and EPCOT. I hope they can built monorai service to MGM and Animal kingdom.

The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror

"Try the SEAT OF DOOM!"

The Tower of Terror is a ride that makes any other drop ride look tame,The firs time I rode Tower of terror was in 1994, it had only one drop, 2 years later they added more drops to make the ride more terrifying, When I whent to disney world 2 years ago I rode TOT there was 7 drops total, Also they added a new fear element A SEAT BELT in the back seat of the elevator car, I tried it WHAT A RUSH!!! you come off the seat by inches but the seat belt keeps you from floating out of the car when it drops.

Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith

"WHAT A RUSH!!!"

This coaster has got to be the wildest attraction Disney has ever put in any of the disney parks I rode this ride in 2000 It was intense. the launch was fast 0-60mph in 3 seconds then going through 3 inversion while rocking to Aerosmith music the best coaster i have ever rode on. This ride is more smoother than the Flight of fear coaster at Paramount's Kings island in Ohio, That coaster hurt my head to the point i did not ride it anymore but Rock 'n' roller coaster is very smoother, the theming is the best part of this coaster, going through the O of the hollywood sign was wild, But the best part about RNR The cars, LOVE THOSE LIMOS!!!!

Test Track

"A NEED FOR SPEED"

2 years ago I rode Test Track for the first time and I loved it, this ride is intense, The speed test was the best part of the ride, going 65mph on a banked curve was quite a rush overall the ride was fun

Space Mountain

"A Disney classic"

Space mountain has been my all time favorite disney atraction even if it goes only 30mph, But the thrill factor is still the reason i come to disney world to ride Space mountain. 2 years ago i got to see the interior of space mountain with the lights turned on., the track looks like a mass of steel webbing. overall space mountain is a great rush for disney fans young and old.

Backstage Pass

"SO SO"

OK BUT IT'S NOT SOMETHING YOU WILL TELL EVERYBODY ABOUT WHEN YOU GET HOME.NICE TO WALK THROUGH BUT NOTHING SPECIAL.I WILL NOT MISS IT.

Sounds Dangerous

"SO SO"

IF YOU LIKE SETTING IN THE DARK IN THE AC AND LISTENING TO DREW CAREY IT'S OK. NOT THE GREATEST BUT SOMETHING TO DO WHEN ITS HOT OUT.

Honey I Shrunk the Audience

"MUST SEE"

LOVE DISNEY 3-D MOVIES AND THEY KEEP GETTING BETTER. THIS IS ONE OF THE NEWER ONES WITH ADDED SPECIAL EFFECTS. YOU WON'T BE DISSAPPOINTED.

Disney's Doug Live

"NOT GOOD"

THE WORST SHOW EVER. BY THE TIME IT WAS OVER I FELT SORRY FOR THE PERFORMERS HAVING TO SUBJECT THEMSELVES TO THIS.

Discovery River Cruise

"NOT MISSED"

BOAT TO NO WHERE. A NICE RIDE WITH CM'S THAT SHOWED THINGS OF INTREST,LIKE LIVE SPIDERS AND ANSWERED QUESTIONS ABOUT THEM. BUT I REALLY NEVER GOT THE FEELING I WAS SEEING ANYTHING.THE BOATS ARE NOW BEING USED AS FRIENDSHIP CRUISERS TO GET TO MGM FROM THE HOTELS.

Ice Station Cool

"free"

FREE DRINKS FROM AROUND THE WORLD.TRY EVERYTHING ONCE,SOME ARE GROSS BUT IT'S FUN TO TRY DIFFERENT ONES. THE ENTRANCE IS REALLY NICE ON A HOT DAY.A REAL NICE PLACE TO COOL OFF AND HAVE A SODA THATS FREE.

Mickey's Starland

"Great Land"

This land (formally Mickey's Birthdayland, now Mickey's Toontown Fair) celebrated not only Mickey but many of the characters from the Disney Afternoon Television block of the 1990s. Basically a reworked Mickey's Birthdayland with a new show staring characters from the various show's characters changed about every year to include new characters that were added to the block. Lots of things for kids to see, cute theming, and always tons of Disney characters around. Nice while it lasted, but Toontown Fair is great too.

Disney's Hollywood Studios

"WDW so called six flags"

This place is the coolest place. I would pay the 50 bucks just to be able to ride RnR coaster and ToT once a piece

Magic Kingdom

"The origanial WDW theme"

The original in florida and the best. No more to say this theme park is simply the best and is heand over heels to the rest

Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party

"Great fun"

This event is fun. Snow on main street and free cocoa. best of all the most popular attractions are open

Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Restaurant

"AWESOME"

THis placve is awesome, you either sit in convertibles in a drive in movie type setting of in boothes in the back, they show clips from old B sci-fi movies. complete with twinkeling stars overhead. The food is preety good mainly good for the experience but will difinetly go back, a glorified fast food joint made into a sitdown resturant is th type of food they serve but excellent to say the least

L'Originale Alfredo di Roma Ristorante

"IIn My Opinion"

In my opinion this is the best sit down restuarant in the Whole Walt Dianey World. The food is GREAT and the themeing is right out of an Italian movie. If you eat there you Must try anything with Alfredo suace they make it the one true way

Storybook Treats

"The best floats"

This place has the BEST ice cream floats. That is all i can commnt on seeing that is the only thing i get there

Liberty Tree Tavern

"Great"

This place is cool. It is so neat to see the characters dressed up in the period customs. Just about all the main characters are there. The food is served buffet style, you sit down and they bring you family sized portions of everything one you table, so you can help yourself and when the food gets low they bring more, dessert not included. The food is great and has a huge variety. You can also purchase aotugraph books and pens and cameras for your server, witch is very cool in case you forgot yours in a locker or something

Cinderella's Royal Table

"Truely Magical"

Tjhis is the best place to eat, At night it is even better, as the seater if there is a table by the window open, if there is do everything you can to get thst table, at night when the Fireworks come on you have the best every from anywhere.

Walt Disney World Monorail System

"Cool"

There is no better way to get around from the MK parking lot to MK, or to any of the three resorts that the monorail serves the the other

Mickey's Star Traders

"Typical"

This place has basically everything that you would find everyplace else, expect that is has the best range of disposible cameras. And the TTA zooming thoug the top adds a bit of fantsay

Merchant of Venus

"Unique"

This place is the only place where i cn find alien encounters merchandise

Main Street Confectionery

"Excellent"

If you are leaving the Magic Kingdom and you want one last treat, stop by this place. Located at the end of main street with the train station on the left (when leaving)

Frontier Trading Post

"Frontier"

This place has everything from toy wagons to western Minnie and Mickey. including candles

Emporium

"best of all"

This place takes up all of the left side of main street and has everything you could ever want. Just think of something and you will find it here

Virgin Megastore

"Everything"

This is the place togo if you are looking for anything for your cd player or computur, or what to pick up something to read(why?). To get a good view of the immediate area, go upstairs and go to the cafe, and eat out on the balcony

Rainforest Cafe Shop

"Forest merchandise"

This is the place to go to get stuffed animals, or any other object hat has to do with wild animals

Candy Cauldron

"TREATS!!!!!"

Sweets for the sweet. This place has the best goodies in all of WDW

Fantasy in the Sky

"Excellent fireworks"

The best fireworks show i have seen ANYWHERE. Your can add a little extra magic to it if you watch from the top of the mainstreet train station

Fantasmic!

"What else can i say?"

This show is THE best night time show in all of WDW. The lights lasers and music and to a terrific end at the STudios

Disney Quest

"Games, Games, Games!"

If you're a video game fan, this is the ultimate arcade. Old games, new games, interactive games, virtual reality, simulator games ... and almost everything is included in your admission fee. The layout is bizarre and chaotic, but hey, it's an arcade.

To those of you (us) who grew up with video games in the late 70's - early 80's, you will be astounded and delighted at the selection of original games from that era. I must have played Berzerk ("Intruder alert, intruder alert, destroy the intruder") for a half an hour until someone else wanted to play. Ah, the good old days ...

Bus Transportation

"Efficient"

I'm not sure if many major cities have such an orgainzed, timley bus system as Disney World. It doesn't beat the above the trees view of the monorail, but it gets you where you are going.

Ice Station Cool

"Free Drinks @ WDW???"

If you are cheap, go here! You can sample all different types of drinks from around the world! Don't drink too much of the Beverly, though...it's gross! Coca-Cola merchandise is avaliable. A+ for Disney!

Discovery River Cruise

"The Titanic @ AK"

This must be one of the stupidest rides ever put in place a Disney World. The lines were DAUNTING, and it's an extremely short ride. Not missed at all.

'Ohana

"Not worth it!"

I hate to be the lone dissenter, but... I was VERY disappointed, especially as we were staying at the Polynesian and this was one of our "special" activities...especially since everyone raves about it. The meat they cook is extremely salty, and I didn't like it...and my tastes aren't particularly picky. It started out with appetizers, including salad with Hawaiian dressing (OK), grilled veggies (blah), shrimp wanton (OK, best of appetizers), fried rice (thumbs down), chicken wings (thumbs down). Then you get bread and choice of turkey, pork, steak or shrimp...again all salty. Now they give you three choices of sauce, including barbeque, something I can't remember, and a Hawaiian banana/mango (my favorite of the sauces). Pinapple with caramel sauce for dessert--OK/good. Overall--very disappointing. My 8-yr. old enjoyed the hula hoop thing, but was this really worth $80 for three people? NO! Will never do Ohana again.

Disney's Doug Live

"Great Show"

I thought this was another great show for the Studios. Everything about the show was great from the performers to the staging of the show. All this and one show Beauty and the Beast and Hunchback never had: Air Conditioning.

Sounds Dangerous

"In the Dark"

Sitting in the dark and listening to Drew Carry trying to be funny isn't my idea of enetertainment. I don't think I'd waste my time here again.

Backstage Pass

"Fun Tour"

This was a fun tour featuring sets and props from originally 101 Dalmatians and later Home Improvement as well. I especially liked it when it was all 101, but the Home Improvement sets were a nice addidition. Enjoyed it while it was open.

Discovery River Cruise

"Not missed too much"

This attraction wasn't one of the best in the park. Basically a boat ride around the Discovery River with hardly anything to be seen on the way. It was nice and somewhat relaxing, but not especially missed.

Innoventions

"Lots to do"

This area is great if you have some extra time. Lots of things to do for just about anyone, especially kids. Worth a stop but don't give yourself too much time here. It's sometimes easy to spend a lot of time here.

Honey I Shrunk the Audience

"Great"

This is definatly one of the more entertaining Future World attractions. The theming is excelelnt and the effects are wonderful. Definatly a must see, but beware if mice and snakes.

Once Upon a Toy

"MUST GO"

If your tired of every disney store being the same this store is for you. It has 5 themed rooms with something for everyone.The crowds can be tiring but hopefully they will thin out as the newness of the store wears off.

The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror

"THE BEST!!!"

I think this is the finest WDW attraction so far. The special effects are amazing, the storyline very TZ-like, and the thrills very well done. I really like the changing-drop aspect of the ride. Truly a classic!

Star Tours

"Ready for v.2"

I still remember how happy I was when they added a Star Wars ride to Disneyland. And I remember the 3 hour waits, too. The WDW version is even better...The queue and outside structures are really cool and offer a ton of photo ops. The ride is a lot of fun and sometimes rough and jerky. Still one of my must-rides at the studios. Still, I have to wonder how much longer before we see a new storyline?

San Angel Inn Restaurant

"Very Romantic!"

My favorite of the WS resturants. The overall feel of the Mexico pavillion and the resturant in particular is very intimate and very relaxing. The food was good, and was served promptly. It IS rather dark in the resturant...not so much that i couldn't read the menu but I had almost finished half of my dinner before I realized I was eating the stuffed pepper and not the enchalada... Still, a great dining memory.

Columbia Harbour House

"Often Overlooked"

Overlooked but a nice place to eat. Getting a table upstairs makes a big difference to cutting down the noise. Overall, just a simple, tasty menu and a nice place to enjoy it.

Boma - Flavors of Africa

"Pleasnt Surprise"

What a find! The variety and new taste sensations were worth the trip. The stews and zebra-domes are to die for.

Beaches and Cream

"Underrated"

This is a must-do every trip. The offerings are typical for the style of restaurant and you always have to leave room for the ice cream. You can order a side-dish here and still get plenty to eat.

Big Thunder Mountain Railroad

"Best off all"

One of the best rides in all of walt disney world resort.

Yachtsman Steakhouse

"The best steak ever."

By far, the most delicious steak I have ever eaten. No exaggeration, and I eat a lot of them. The desserts were wonderful (and even well themed to the Disney parks). The gentleman next to us commented that he had eaten there 3 nights in a row. This place is pricey (about $150 for 2 people), but it was worth it in my opinion. The food was better than Fultons.

Kitchen Kabaret Revue

"ALMOST MISSED"

I DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT UNTIL IT WAS GONE AND RPLACED WITH THE WORTHLESS FOOD ROCKS.

International Gateway

"??"

A FEW SHOPES AND A ENTRANCE. NO BIG DEAL ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.

Harvest Theater

"SEE IT ONCE"

A SHOW FOR SMALLER KIDS ABOUT SAVING OUR ENVIROMENT. LOVED THE REFERENCE TO BUILDING A THEME IN IT.

Impressions de France

"NICE"

GREAT FILM TO BE INTRODUCED TO THE COUNTRY OF FRANCE. GREAT SCENES AND WELL PUT TOGETHER.IT MIGHT NOT BE APPRECIATED BY THE UNDER 21 CLUB.

Fountain of Nations

"EASY TO MISS"

WHILE HURRYING AROUND EPCOT THIS IS EASY TO PASS BY. SLOW DOWN AND SEE WHY DISNEY ADDS THINGS THAT ADD TO EVERYONES ENJOYMENT.

Wildlife Express Train

"NECESSARY"

A QUIET TRAIN RIDE TO AND THE ONLY WAY TO CONSERVATION STATION THAT PASSES THE BACKSTAGE AREA OF THE AK LIVING AREA.

Studio Showcase

"ok SOMETIMES"

PROPS FROM MOVIES. THEY CHANGE THE STUFF OCASSIONALY SO SOMETIMES I LIKE THE MOVIES IT'S FROM AND SOMETIMES IT'S BORING.

Disney's Polynesian Resort

"Beautiful, Tranquil"

We have stayed in many resorts. Most of which we loved but when we stayed here, this one had it all. We love the tranquility, the pool, the restaurants, it's on the monorail line and you can watch the fireworks at Magic Kingdom from the beach. We stayed for 12 nights last year and i wasn't enough. This year we're coming back for 9 nights. Beleive me when I tell you, we are not rich, but for everything you have to give up to stay here, it is well worth it for our family. As much as we loved the other resorts, we love this one the best!!!!

Gourmet Pantry

"ok"

ANOTHER DOWNTOWN STORE FOR SNACKS AND A FEW DISNEY ITEMS. NOT BAD BUT NOTHING SPECIAL.

The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror

"My favorite ride!"

Can't top this one!!! Will always be my favorite ride in DisneyWorld!!! I just love the theming, the pre-show, and the ride itself. To me, there will never be another one like it. I don't see how it could ever be topped.

WEDway PeopleMover

"Most relaxing in the park"

My husband's favorite ride in Magic Kingdom. This ride is by far the most relaxing in the park. After a full day at Magic Kingdom we really enjoy going on this and taking it easy. We love it!! It's never crowded and we really do need this one at the end of the day. Please don't change it!! I've been hearing rumors!

Haunted Mansion

"Could never be replaced"

Could never replace this ride. We thorougly enjoy this ride. My son, who wouldn't step foot into this since he was a baby, has since become obsessed with it and knows everthing about if from top to bottom. It's a classic and don't ever take this one out!!!

Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin

"Ride is a lot of fun"

We love this ride. I have an adult family who can't wait to get on this ride. We always have a blast shooting everything and comparing scores. Recommend this hightly. Just a lot of fun.

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea

"Happy to see it go"

This ride's effects were always way outdated. The ride was extrememly boring and patience were lost on the line. Very, very, slow moving and it just didn't fit into the Disney theme of ride lines that moved. The next ride that should go is the autotopia cars. Another slow moving line where the gas makes you sick and it doesn't fit into the fast moving line motto of disney.

Jungle Cruise

"Classic"

This is a great classic ride. The jokes through out the ride are normally very boring but sometimes you get a great skipper. Last time I was on it I could not stop laughing. The skippers make the ride. It is a most see it is a classic Disney attraction that might not be around for ever.

Indiana Jones Adventure Outpost

"For Indiana Jones fans"

If you're an Indiana Jones fan and want just about anything themed to the films, it's here.

Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge

"Best Disney Hotel!"

The best hotel on property. Hell, mabey even the best Disney has ever created! 'nuff said

Kilimanjaro Safaris

"One of the Top 4 Rides!"

One of my top 4 attractions in all of WDW. This is worth anywait.

Flame Tree Barbecue

"NICE BREAK"

GOOD PLACE TO STOP FOR LUNCH AS THE DAY HEATS UP IN AK. WE ENJOYED SETTING ALONG THE RIVER WHILE COOLING DOWN TO GET UP ENOUGH ENERGY TO GO ON.THE BARBECUE WAS NOT AS SPICY AS SOME WHICH I GUESS IS DONE TO KEEP EVERYONE HAPPY.

Tapestry of Dreams

":("

This parade is still a Tapestry, the best of the parades Disney has offered. But it still lacks compared to ToN. Now, that was a parade.

Tapestry of Nations

"Tapestry ROCKS!"

This parade testifies that Disney can do stuff right. The Sage definatly had to be the best single non-movie character in all of WDW (and possibly in all the parks). The Reach for the stars part sends chills down your spine. I love this show. Hope they bring it back after 100YOM

Planet Hollywood Super Store

"Skippable"

All the merchendise of Planet Hollywood without the restaurant. Seems to be out of place and a reason to sell you more t-shirts. Skip it unless you would rather buy your Planet Hollywood souvenirs here insteed of at Downtown Disney

Merchant of Venus

"Nothing spectacular"

This shop seems OK, but didn't seem like there was a lot in the store. There was some Skippy merchendise and some empty shelves with a few Lilo and Stitch toys on it. I wouldn't recogmend this shop unless you're exiting from Alien Encouter

Prop Shop

"Great for Kids"

Great spot for kids. Plenty of toys, photography that allows guests to have their pictures taken inside a scene from a Disney cartoon, and appearences by Goofy throughout the day. Take young kids here while other adults in your party are in the AFI Showcase.

Legends of Hollywood

"More Pooh"

This shop isn't too bad. The theming of a movie theater is great is great complete with box office and movie posters. The merchendise is mostly Pooh merchendise so it's worth a stop for Pooh fans. The mural of all the Pooh characters inside in their tuxedos going to a Hollywood premiere is pretty cute too.

Every Day's a Holiday

"Very entertaining"

I really enjoy this show. You get to see a great number of characters in clothes/outfits you would not normally see them in. Usually either b4 and/or after u can meet w/ them. they will sign autographs and pose for pictures.

Splash Mountain

"A Top Ten Attraction"

Splash Mountain is the best log flume attraction on the planet, it really is. It's a long (about 10-11 minutes) has multiple drops and has a great story with unbelievable music. It's one of my favorites, Splash Mountain rocks.

Disney's Polynesian Resort

"The Polynesian"

A recent rehab has really thrown The Polynesian back into the runnings as one of the best resorts to stay at on Disney property, it can be a quite costly adventure when compared to Wilderness Lodge or Animal Kingdom Lodge who have comparable service, theming and amenities.

Pooh's Thotful Shop

"Pooh"

Small Pooh shop at the exit of the Winnie the Pooh ride. Nice stop fot kids or Pooh fans, but is worth skiping if you don't fall into either of the last two categories.

It's a Wonderful Shop

"Wonderful"

This tiny Christmas shop on the New York Street is nice, but somewhat claustrophobic. It would be much nicer if it was bigger. Love the name though.

AFI Showcase Shop

"Not just Disney"

Great shop if you're looking for merchindise based on films and television shows that are not Disney such as the Wizard of OZ, the Three Stooges, I Love Lucy, Gone With the Wind, as well as the Nightmare Before Christmas, Home Improvement, and others. Worth a look if you're looking for more than just Disney themed items.

Mickey's of Hollywood

"Large selection"

A large selection of WDW and character souvenirs are available here. Nice place to shop, but most everyone else in the park thinks it's great too, making it crowded. Good for kids.

Zanzibar Shell Company

"Welcome to Agrabah"

This gift shop part of the Agrabah Bazaar area of Adventureland has a great selection of merchindise ranging from Aladdin souvenirs to souvenirs from around the world. Theming is great and complements the ride nicely.

The Beverly Sunset

"Villains"

For not being a fan of the Villains, this shop doesn't have a lot. Don't be looking for much Fantasmic merchendise here; the carts on the street have a larger selection. Worth at least a look, but not too much more if you're not a villains fan.

Out of the Wild

"Not a must-see"

This gift shop at Condervation Station is a nice spot with a limited selection of Animal themed gifts. Not too exciting, but worth at least a look if you are already in Coservation Station.

Disney Studio Store

"OK"

This shop at the exit of One Man's Dream sells a little bit of everything from 100 Years of Magic Merchendise to character gifts. I wouldn't make this shop a must-see, especially since it seems to get very crowded with One Man's Dream, Little Mermaid, and Playhouse Disney all emptying into the area.

Mickey's Star Traders

"Futuristic"

Nice shop. It's nothing you won't find many other places, but the service is usually better than you'll find at the Emporium. The TTA zooming through the shop adds a lot to theming as well.

Once Upon a Time Shop

"Vintage Disney"

This shop is a nice addition to Sunset Boulevard. The shop is full of collectables and vintage Disney merchendise. Disney fans should also recognize the shop's facade as the Carthay Circle theater where Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs premiered in 1937 which adds more to the 1930s Disney theme.

Discovery Trading Company

"Nice"

This shop has a variety of merchendise ranging from Disney themed clothing to character themed items. Check out the Discover Behind the Magic Kiosks here. They're somwhat fun, especially for kids.

Tatooine Traders

"Star Wars"

This is a great shop for Star Wars fans. Lots of merchindise based on the films can be found here and the theming is great, especially the outside facade which is more elaborate than some attractions in the park.

Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe

"Merry Christmas"

The best Disney Christmas shop inside the parks. If you're looking for it, it's probably here. Worth a look no matter what time of year.

Tapestry of Dreams

"Not ToN"

This parade isn't the worst thing in WDW, but it seems lackluster after its previous version, Tapestry of Nations. The Three "Dreamseekers" are fairly annoying and the part where they do their salute to Walt Disney was quite possibly the corniest thing I've ever seen at WDW. The Great music and the fun puppets make this still a pretty good evening event.

Pecos Bill Cafe

"OK"

I wasn't too impressed by this restaurant. The burgers seemed pretty average and nothing too exciting in theming or service. Best for families with young kids.

Pizzafari

"Good for Kids"

This friendly spot in Discovery Island is a nice spot for families. The pizza is nothing great, but the atmosphere is bright, colorful, and kid friendly. Stop by if you have kids or want to take advantage of the restaurant's air conditioning.

Tangierine Cafe

"Pretty Good"

This restaurant is a nice addition to the counter service options in World Showcase. Good food, pleasant atmosphere. Worth a try.

House Of Treasure

"Yo Ho"

You have to go here after you exit Pirates of thew Caribbean. Lots of Pirate themed trinkets here for sale in a shop that flows very well with the theming of the ride.

Stage 1 Company Store

"Great for Kids"

This large shop neer MuppetVision has a variety of Disney and Muppet themed gifts. Great for kids. Be sure to look around at the theming. The shop is full of sets inspired by some of the Muppet's most famous movies.

Ziwani Traders

"Nice"

Nice shop in the Africa section of the park. Includes African themed items, Animal Kingdom souvenirs, and character merchendise. Nice spot to spot into after your safari.

Main Street Athletic Club

"OK"

This shop if full of any sports merchendise or Disney themed sports items you could want. The ESPN merchendise seems to clash too much with Main Street. Enjoyed this much better when it was the Magic Shop, Penny Arcade, and bookstore.

The Writer's Stop Shop

"Books and more"
