    Bartender did not know how to make a rum runner and when told how to, he still made it wrong. Food was not bad, had to send boneless wings back because they were frozen in the middle. But other than those two issues, everything was above average. We had wings, loaded fries, nachos, jalapeño poppers, buffalo chicken dip and many other cocktails that were very tasty.

    Here's the Scoop: This is one of the poolside bars at the resort. They have an extensive menu for a bar and serve fabulous drinks and have bartender creations. Enjoyed have a drink and or meal poolside here. Salads very fresh and big portions. Burgers huge, fish & chips delicious! Nice seating and cooling fans overhead. Great because poolside can get hot if you're not in the pool. Service very quick, friendly and accommodating. Drinks are full bodied and tasty. This bar definitely adds to the comfort of the Resort. It was great for us too because our building was directly across the parking lot. We had great location to all of the amenities. This Resort is 64 acres and we were situated just right. Oh yeah such a fabulous time!

    A nice simple pool bar at the resort. Full bar with 6 beers on draft and 14 varieties of canned beer (pool bar-no glass). Pool bar menu (see attached pics for menu); not made on site; orders brought over from next door kitchen. Wings were good and spicy. Onion rings a little overdone. Would I come back - oh yeah!! It's next to the pool. We love Cheryl our bartender!!

    Beer tabs!

It was the perfect spot to grab a bite and drinks without having to leave the pool area. While spending the day swimming, we ordered the funnel cake fries and piña coladas. The funnel cake fries came out warm with a crispy exterior, a soft and fluffy center, and just the right amount of powdered sugar. The piña coladas were refreshing and a hit with our family. Both were reasonably priced, making them a great value for a relaxing pool day. The service was friendly, and the food and drinks arrived quickly despite the busy pool area. If you're staying at the Hilton, Shipwreck Sally's is a convenient option for a casual bite, refreshing drinks, and a poolside treat without having to leave the resort.

    This is definitely not what you would expect from a restaurant hotel. I truly believe the main…read morereason people dine here is because it is the only option on the hotel property and is conveniently located next to the pool making it easy to order drinks and snack while enjoying the pool. However, the food quality is just not there. We had breakfast one day and lunch the next and were disappointed both times. While the prices may seem low at first, an 18% gratuity is automatically added. We also noticed perishable sauces being left outside in the sun which was very concerning.

If you don't arrive early, you may be placed on a virtual waitlist, which can reach three or four hours. Once you're called, you have about 15 minutes to arrive before they move on to the next party. Wait times can be accurate--or wildly inaccurate--so it's best to stay nearby. The theming is fantastic, and the atmosphere is full of energy. Many of the special effects depend on the cast members interacting with guests, so visiting earlier in the day is a good idea while everyone is still at peak energy. The drinks are expensive, but they're tasty, strong by Disney standards, and absolutely Instagram-worthy. You can also purchase some excellent tiki mugs. The food menu is limited, but what we tried was good. Be aware that you'll probably share a table with another party, but that can make the experience even more fun. I always have a great time here, and my friends do too. The last time I visited, I ended up sharing a table with a witch doctor. We started talking about magic, exchanged spells and trinkets, and I gave him my lucky goat's eye. In return, he gave me a bone on a handmade vine necklace that had apparently been blessed by his chief. When I got home, I started hearing war drums. The next thing I knew, it was July 4th, and I woke up inside a Winnie the Pooh costume in the Magic Kingdom. I still have no idea what happened, but I'm fairly certain the necklace had something to do with it.

    Trader Sam's is always a fun time. Tiki bars are a cool vibe. But adding the interactive elements…read morewith the lights, sounds, props, animations in the artwork. It's a fun time. Make sure to get there early so you can add your name to the wait list. Friday night we waited about 2 hours checking in at 8pm. Loved our drinks! Tasty and nice looking. It's always a must do when resort hopping if you have the time.
