Just use TripAdvisor for reviews instead.
Yes. I use this. I post to this. Take reviews from anywhere else for what they are (not) worth.

Disney is a marketing machine. I always notice on their commercials that there are really no other guests in the park (or very few) when a family is spotlighted. I saw a DVC commercial where the families walked up to and on any ride they wanted with no wait at all and Cinderella was waiting in ( the fenced off) grassy knoll in front of the Magic Kingdom with her arms outstretched and the DVC families ran up to her and got a hug. There was nobody else in sight. LOL. I also saw a commercial for Disney cruise Line and when they showed a family at one of the cabanas with the ship docked off in the distance, there were no other guests on the beach or in the water! I know it's marketing, but it's very deceptive advertising. Just sayin'. This is just one posters opinion and others may vary
Yes but they don't really allow negative comments.
After we came back from our trip last month, I got an email directing me to rate and review my experiences on their site. I sat down and wrote about 6 reviews one day when I had some extra time. All were published except for the one negative review that I left. It didn't violate any of their guidelines and it wasn't a scathing review, but a negative one. It was for Hollywood & Vine. There are some negative reviews up there, but the good outweigh the bad. Looks like Disney is being selective over the reviews that they choose to share.
We went to the Jedi Mickey dinner and it was just so sub par for what the cost was. We actually had a very friendly server although she was very slow, but I didn't mention anything negative about her in my review. The food was the worst we had on the trip. No one was working the meat carving or pasta station so, you had to stand there forever for someone to finally help you. The characters were very rushed and everyone is packed in there so tight that it's a little tough to get a decent picture. Jedi Mickey dinner was outrageously priced. We had to use 2 DDP credits for it and it was $57.99 if paying out of pocket. So, for the cost it was just a major disappointment.I'm curious. What was your review of H&V? I have reservations there.

I eat approximately 18 QS meals per trip (we go annually), and haven't gotten a hamburger in years, and I love burgers. Lol! There's tons of variety at QS restaurants.I won't do table service at WDW any more, it's not worth the money or the trouble at all. I had several experiences just like this, but since I'm a local I just eat before I go in and snack or quick service before I leave. Quick service isn't even as good as it used to be, how many different ways can you eat hamburger?

Well good businesses would also look at those complaints if they are getting a good Amount of them and fix the issue. Disney doesn't do that.This is just good business. Why would you put a bad review on your own website. People can find plenty of bad reviews online if thats what they want to read. Online reviews are always skewed by the site they're posted on.

I disagree. The example a lot have been using is Hollywood and vine and how the food and service has just not been good. I've seen numerous people say this including the owners of the Dis on the disunplugged podcast. Disney can change those things relatively easy if they wanted to. Now something like maelstrom going away brought on a lot of negative feed back as well that's a bit different as Disney is putting 75 million into that it's hard to go back. One of disneys biggest reasons for watching these boards is for leaks on news that hasn't been announced yet. Disney doesn't like leaks.Sure they do. They also pay close attention to things like this board. You just have to keep in mind, what might be a big issue for one family on their vacation, might not be a major issue for Disney that results in policy change.
