My reviews from a 2024 family trip to Walt Disney World: one ride and three restaurants.

Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance

My rating: 5 out of 5

Incredibly immersive experience. Best ride in all of Disney. Use of cast members, animatronics, holograms, 3D, scenes, and roller cossters. It's an entire plot you experience from beginning to end that you are involved in. Suprising, fun, exciting. This cannot be missed.

Cinderella's Royal Table

My rating: 4 out of 5

I can't imagine how difficult it is to work here. You have to put on a face of unwavering happiness and treat the guests literally like royalty. I could tell that the waitress and some princesses were exhausted. How could they not be?

The food was mediocre. For nearly $150 per person, I would expect better. The dessert my little brother received (ostensibly a sword in a boulder) looked like human waste (it was chocolate).

You're paying for the atmosphere and an unforgettable experience for your children, especially if you have a little girl. Thank you to the staff who are clearly stretched thin.

Service wasn't perfect, but I understand why.

Space 220

My rating: 4 out of 5

You're paying primarily for the atmosphere at Space 220. The servers are incredible gracious and friendly. They also accommodated my family […]. The food was not impressive, especially for the price. However, the decor, elevator ride, and other aspects made it an unforgettable experience.

Yak & Yeti

My rating: 5 out of 5

Very delicious food. Accomdating wait staff. Good atmosphere. Reasonably priced for Disney. I'd recommend a visit and try the specials.
