Restaurant/Lounge Review:

John T's Sports Bar: An open bar area in the lobby. We never stopped in for a drink, but the place seemed to be constantly full with convention-goers.
Benihana: A fun place for good food and entertainment at the table. Our 4 year old had a great time, and we had a nice steak and shrimp dinner. (Side note--we have taken her to other Japanese steak houses, and they are one of the best places to take a small child and still get a good meal!)
Finn's Grill: Good food with very attentive service. It was never crowded while we were there. One night they offered an all-you-can-eat seafood buffet, although we didn't try it.
Chatham House: Our least favorite restaurant. Maybe it was because we were there on our last night at WDW, but the food was lacking.
The Terrace: Didn't try it.
Rum Largo Pool Side Cafe: Didn't try it.
Old Fashioned Soda Shoppe: Didn't try it, but looked in the window. The operating hours are limited, and I never saw anyone there. It is next to the arcade and babysitting service room.
Mugs Coffee: Didn't try it.
Mainstreet Market: We stopped here our first night for a sandwich. It is sort of a mini grocery store, with counter service sandwiches and desserts. This is a good place to buy soda and chips for the road.

Activities/Facilities Available:

Sundries Shop, Pool

Pool Description/Comments:

Didn't try it. They have a large pool and a small children's pool. Looks like a regular hotel pool; nothing special.

Hair dryers, towels, coin operated laundry in the building, pool, health club, kid's program, concierge, room service, complimentary theme park shuttle, cable TV, coffee maker. Don't know about handicapped accessible rooms, non-smoking rooms, smoke detectors, or fire sprinklers.
