Crystal Palace - As lovely as ever. We were seated very promptly and the food selection and staff were good. However, Poohs hand got "caught in a honey jar" so we never got to meet him. My little boy wanted to meet him very badly though, so the waitstaff told us to stop by later in the day to meet him. We did. Pooh came out to take pictures with us and it was great!
Coral Reef- We were taken in about 4 min after arrival. Our waiter was decent, though service was a little slow. Food was delicious, I had ordered the strip steak and it was cooked perfectly. Used the bathrooms during our meal and found them to be on the dirty side. Finding clean bathrooms was tough this trip. Seems they are getting harder to come by.
Hollywood & Vine Breakfast - Characters were great. I loved the choices on the buffet. They made an apple crisp that was amazing and I also enjoyed the corned beef hash which I didn't find at any other breakfast buffet. Our table was setup against a wall, so we had to take pictures on the other side of the table which had large windows in the backround, it ended up messing up almost all of our photos because it threw off the lighting. Still fun though.
Yak & Yeti - 2nd favorite meal of the trip. Fantastic waiter. Longest wait to get seated though, in past trips this restaurant was always almost empty but with the new dinner package for Jungle book it seems to be packed. So we waited about 10 min to be seated. Food was fantastic as usual, I got the chicken Lo Mein and it was delicious!!
Tusker House Dinner - This was a new one for us. The characters were fantastic and I loved their outfits. I tried many of the foods on the buffet but didn't find anything that I loved. It was a little underwhelming for me. Even the desserts didn't seem overly delicious. We likely wont go again but I did love the decor and ambiance inside the restaurant.
Be Our Guest Dinner - FAVORITE meal of the trip. This is our third time here and it never disappoints. We had the best waiter of our whole trip here, he was friendly, attentive, and a really nice guy. We were seated in the main ballroom. I ordered the braised pork and it was fantastic! Only hitch was that the beast was on a break when we arrived in his study for a picture so a line had formed quite long. Overall we waited maybe 10 min to see him but it was worth it.
Via Napoli - WORST meal of the trip. This was our first and last time here. Service was incredibly slow!! From the hostess, to the person who refilled our water, to our waiter they were all very grumpy seeming and not friendly at all. We waited forever for our food and then only 2 peoples food came. We figured they just wouldnt hold it all. NO. About 5 min or more later the other 3 peoples food came. It was strange. Who serves food separately? And of course my 2 year old was one with a later meal. So he wasn't happy that others had their food but not him. It was bad! I ordered the pasta carbonara and I could only eat about 5 bites as I found it incredibly over salted!! I'm not the type of person to shy away from salt either. But for what it's worth my 12 year old loved his pizza...
Teppan Edo - Not as magical as we remember. Food was just okay and the experience seemed to not have has many tricks in it while cooking as we have had in the past. We had the onion volcano and that was it. A little underwhelming for the price. May skip it next time.
Chef Art Smith's Homecoming (disney springs) - Ambiance and decor was fantastic. Our waitress was good and attentive. Even the glasses, silverware, and napkins were themed wonderfully. I ordered the fried chicken dinner. It was okay. But I wouldn't say it was better then any other fried chicken I'd had before.
Cape May Breakfast Buffet- Characters were good and came around quickly. Our server named Elias was fantastic and funny. The food was just okay. My husband and kids loved the cinnamon buns, though my daughter was disappointed that they don't have pancakes. Likely, because they serve crepes at a station.
There are my thoughts. Hope you enjoy!

Quick question, did you have an ADR for all of these or did you just 'walk in?' Rookie here and although we have a few ADR's, we are hoping to just wing it, especially our MK day. Thanks!
