    Great variety of delicious food. We ordered the BBQ Jerk Chicken Strips & the Combination bowl. Both were amazing and came out quickly They also have a mobile order area where you can order on the app & pick it up without waiting in line. There is limited seating indoors, but plenary of seating outside and by the pool.

    One of the busiest and loudest quick services we’ve been to at a hotel. It was so crowded during breakfast, with super long lines for hot food. We opted each morning to just get cereal and muffins because it was so busy.

    The staff here were absolutely amazing! Diego gave me and my family a very warm welcome, and helped guide us through the process/ explain how everything worked. We greatly appreciated the extra support since we were literally starving from traveling! The workers really know how to keep the Disney name and magic alive!✨

    Just your average theme park American fare quick service with some theming. Completely fine for what it is, and not too expensive. It is one of those quick eats that you have no complaints about but want to leave behind as quickly as possible.
