Great Food Our Waitress May Have Entered Witness Protection…read more We visited Rix Sports Bar & Grill with our family of six, and I have to start with the most important part: the food was AMAZING! The wings, Watchos, sandwiches, Bam Bam Chicken, and desserts were all delicious. The portions were generous, everything came out looking great, and nobody left hungry. Those desserts definitely finished us off! Now, the service Our waitress was very friendly when we actually got a chance to see her. We're not sure if she had too many tables, got traded to another team at halftime, or temporarily entered the Witness Protection Program, but she disappeared for some pretty long stretches. We managed to get one refill during the meal. At one point I almost choked on my food and started wondering if I should drink the ranch dressing to survive. With six people at the table, checking on drinks a little more often would have made a big difference. I completely understand that restaurants get busy and servers sometimes get overloaded, so I'm not trying to beat anyone up over it. But the service definitely needs a little more attention. Food: 5/5 Service: 3/5 Overall: 4/5

Heard great things about this place, so before our trip, I booked two dining reservations. After…read moreeating here the first time, I cancelled the second. It's not that it was BAD, it just wasn't good enough to go again and spend the time and money. Onward.... I heard that this place had breakfast to die for, as it was the only place you could get "stuffed chicken and mickey waffles!" Firstly, the "stuffed" adjective turned out to be false, and the regular ass mickey waffles and chicken was just that.....regular as hell. Actually, it was super, DUPER sweet, as the mickey waffles came covered in cinnamon sugar, with some run of the mill chicken fingers thrown on top. It was ok, but not worth the $20something it cost. The Little Ones Mickey pancakes were actually a disappointment as, I swear to god I'm not exaggerating, I get better Mickey shaped pancakes from our local NJ diner. The Mickey pancake I got AT DISNEY WORLD paled in comparison; you do the math on that one. Just sad.....I would've thought they had like Mickey templates to send out picture perfect Mickey shaped food, instead of the sad, misshapen pancake that actually made it out. Meh. The Misses omelet was nothing to write home about either. The server was great but the dining room itself is a little on the smaller side, and they had a habit of sitting all parties RIGHT NEXT TO EACH OTHER, even though there were empty tables spaced out to give a little more room and privacy. We didn't like that they sat us right on top of another family that was already there, then sat the next family right next to us, when there were at least 6 other tables spaced out in the dining room. Any who, after the, not BAD but disappointing meal, I cancelled the next reservation and just decided to try our luck some place else. Rix looks nice, and is technically a sports bar, so maybe they shine better in that light, but as a family dining spot it just didn't impress.

Barcelona Lounge did not disappoint. The vibe was vibrant, energetic and colorful like the city. The brilliant stained-glass wall behind the bar was spectacular. We stopped in to bring breakfast back up to our room upstairs but lingered for a while to absorb the beauty of this lounge. Just incredible! Located on the lower lobby level of the Gran Destino Tower at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort, Barcelona Lounge has amazing lake views of Lago Dorado from its patio bar. Overhead was a magnificent chandelier framed by sculpted columns which brought to mind a glistening Spanish sunrise or sunset. We got a ham, egg, and cheese croissant sandwich, an espresso, a Cafe con Leche with caramel, and a sugar cookie to take upstairs to our room. Everything was delicious. The service was friendly and prompt. We loved this place and look forward to coming back again!

Transported into another realm, Trader Sam's Grog Grotto is a Jungle-cruised tiki bar with decor upon decor and epic theming! As certain drinks are ordered, the waitresses and bartenders have skits to do with squirt guns, interactive decor pieces, and chants for the entire room to repeat! You are fully immersed into the experience with fake windows showing volcanos and jungle views, an octopus tentacle reaching in through a port hole and around the ceiling beams, and tons of details that are just true to Disney's excellence. We grabbed a reservation before dinner and enjoyed the: Skipper Sipper - fresh lime and mint perfume the tropical juices with the zippy pops of soda water Polynesian Punch - POG with Ginger Beer! It sounds like a them park duo made for greatness. Flavor was on point and extremely refreshing! If you are around for an afternoon or staying at the Polynesian, snag a waitlist spot and enjoy this niche but epic experience!

If you are not wanting to dine at the resort, you can take a bus or monorail from Magic Kingdom. It has been a while since I did a review and we have been here quite a few times over the last year. I felt it was time to update. I have a love hate with this place, I used to love it, then we had some negative experiences however, the last few visits have been great. They now open early at 11am which is really great as it gets so busy! We love to stop here when doing a monorail crawl but also recently took my mom and dad here. You need to add your name to the list and your wait can be different all the time. It really depends on how many names are on the list. I will say that larger groups tend to wait much longer. If you are a smaller group such as 2, and are seated at a table for 4, just know that they will seat you with others. MY biggest issue with this place is I believe it should have a time limit. It is incredibly small inside and we have waited over 3 hours to go in. I just feel if Beak and Barrell at Magic and Oga's at Studios has a time limit, they need one here. Maybe bump it to 60 minutes. The problem comes with that there is so much to see and interactions happening with drinks being ordered that you could literally sit in there for hours and order 1 drink. We have had many drinks on the menu including wine and beer. I am not in love with all their drinks, they are very rum heavy and can be very sweet and full of juice, however there are some good ones. I have also tried just wine which is also fine. My husband frequently orders the beer flight which includes 3 different types of Kona beer. Some of my favorite cocktails are the Rosita's Margarita, which is Casamigos reposado tequila, bols orange curacao liqueur, fresh lime juice, falernum and organic agave nectar. It is really good but can be sour if not made correct. Don't be afraid if that happens to ask them to add a little extra sweetener. I also enjoy the Mosquito Mojito which has Bacardi Dragonberry Rum, Organic Agave Nectar, Falernum, Mint, and Fresh Lime Juice topped with Soda Water. It is a classic mojito but can also end up being sour. I usually ask for a little extra nectar. They also serve food. We love the food here and they have actually updated their menu recently. Our favorite item is the Thai Chicken Flatbread with bacon and peanut sauce which is delicious and the Pan-Fried Dumplings. They have a new Shrimp and Plantain Roll which looks great and we will be trying it next time. Some of their drinks come with an interactive experience including the Uh-Oa, the Nautilus, the Hippopoto Mai-Tai and the Krakatoa Punch. And anyone who orders it, gets to sort of take part in the interactive experience. The whole lounge has effects. Would I recommend this yes. I am torn if this is a 4 or a 3. The wait is ridiculous at times, but it is really fun. I prefer the table seats as opposed to the bar or high tops personally and you cannot really ask to sit somewhere. I do think this needs to be expanded. Outside they have a different version or Trader Sam's, same menu no interactivities. They need to take that over and make this lounge much much larger. I would say check it out if you can get it or dont mind waiting. Put your name on the list and go to a different bar and wait!

We'd called the restaurant earlier in the day and asked if we could snag an 8p reservation (because we weren't sure how busy they got). We didn't really need it although it was obvious about 4-5 families walked in around the same time we did. Two servers. One better than the other. We didn't have that person. All the other families had eaten and paid their check before our food hit the table - minus the onion rings which were heated up frozen food and had a spongy texture. Burgers seemed likable by the kids. Steak fries were cold. My fish was light on flavor other than the heavy salt toss they gave it before bringing it to the table. I didn't get my salad until my meal arrived and then it was the wrong one. Ate half. The restaurant is dark, dated and feels dirty - which is why the dimmer light works for them. It did make me wonder how the back kitchen would appear if we walked behind the curtains, like a Gordon Ramsey episode. A few arcade games sit in the front.
