When I asked to speak with a chef regarding food allergies at Landscape of Flavors, I got a fast response despite it being the busy dinner hour. Instead of telling me what I couldn't have, he asked me what I wanted to eat! How refreshing! He was able to give me a vegan, gluten-free pizza and the best part was BabyCakes brownies for dessert, which they keep stocked in the Grab n' Go area. Another great special diets experience with Disney!

Too many lines, cold food, too noisy

This was by far the worst restaurant we have encountered at Disney. There are too many different long lines for food...we have four people and we each ordered from a different section. The checkout staff takse way, way too long to check you out..it seems that the vast menu variety really hinders this process. By the time we paid and sat down our food was very cold. The design of the seating area does not help with dampening the sound of metal chairs, lots of people, clanging of trays, etc. Horrible experience and couldn't wait to get out of there.

I have vacationed at WDW a total of 8 visits and this was the worst dining experience we have had there. At Art of Imaginations food court there are 5 separate lines you can get in to order your food. The problem is that each line has a different menu to order from. So if you, your spouse and children all want something different, you can potentially all be waiting in different lines to order your food. And if you have small children, you will wait in line for your food (which took 40 minutes) and then have to hop in a different line for your child's food because he/she wanted something on the other menu, and now your food is ice cold from waiting. My suggestion, totally avoid or order all from the same menu line!!

I´ve been reading about Art of animation resort for two years, so our first night at WDW we went to know it(we are from Argentina and were staying at POFQ) and I have to say it was fantastic. The food court is very similar to Pop´s one, but newer and nicer. The non plastic plates and forks were a nice addition. The food was not as simple as in Pop Century or other food courts, the have a lot of choices you can customize, so we loved it. The children (15 and 12) had the hamburguers (create your own) and my husband and I the alfredo pasta, it was very, very good. Some of our friends have the tandoori chicken and they said it was very spicy and hot. Good expresso too. If you go, and are staying at other hotel, don´t forget to walk around the resort. It´s very nice!

Although we stayed at Pop Century, we decided to stroll across the bridge and check out AoA, for the first time. It's got lovely, festive grounds and their pool is amazing. There is also a play area for kids. The food was DELISH! I'm so happy that we decided to go check them out, it was 99% different than the food at Pop.
I had their Buffalo style turkey sandwich, DH and DS17 had their build your own burger's. Everyone was pleased with their food. My buffalo turkey sandwich was on the most amazing multigrain bread and it had tons of arugula, with tons of flavor. I will definitely go back, again and again!

Easily the best CS option in WDW. They something for everyone, and I think that matters most. Doesn't matter if you're a picky eater or vegetarian, you can find something, and it actually tastes great. I can't recommend the meatball sammich there enough.
Pizza is typical Disney pizza. I know what good pizza is, and I know what theme park pizza is. Big difference lol
Cheesecake bites were yummy, along with the cream filled rice-crispy treats. I plan on eating there more next time around that I was able to this time.

We had excellent food each lunch we had here. The Surf and Surf (yummmm!) and Chicken Burger were great! Service at the order lines could definitely be faster, I waited 15 minutes for them to put a scoop of mac and cheese and fries on plate for my son. I know that freshly prepared food is better, but it sure does take a long time to get all the food for a family of 6. It would help people like me, who have 4 children, if they would just have one line for all kids meals!

didn't love the variety, looking for something simpler
|

We ate here during one night of our stay last week. We were tired and just looking for something simple (had been eating at a lot of sit downs all week).
Not crowded while we were there, which was nice. I enjoyed the customizable pasta dish, but overall didn't think it was amazing.
I was much more impressed by the breakfast options here. However, definitely an acceptable option if you do not want to leave the resort for dinner.

Had a great quick lunch here one day. The salad bar is super with lots of selection. We loved that servers control the plating to ensure nobody's sneezed on or touched the selections. Although the cafeteria-style seating is broken up by various movie-themed areas, it was still very noisy and packed. We will definitely return.

system for dealing with dirty dishes is ridiculous
|
|
DH and I split a meatball sub. It was prepared fresh while we waited (about 7 minutes). Instead of a sub bun it was put on slices of garlic bread. Crunchy but tasty. We were there at an off time so we did not have a big problem but the ordering/pick up system at the pizza/pasta station definitely needs work as does the disposal of dirty dishes. Much like at Panera, you place silverware and dishes in tubs and paper products in trash cans when you are done eating. The eco consciousness of this may be a positive but people either do not understand what to do or just don't care to so there are dirty trays and trash. The volume here is way more than at Panera. This really needs redesigned. We also picked up pre packaged desserts and I actually preferred them to those at the moderate resort food courts. We had a Mickey cupcake with delicious frosting and Oreo ears and a small Mickey fruit tart. Both were really among the yummiest desserts we had all week.

Food flavorful and different from other Value Resorts

Cons:

Tray/food disposal needs tweaking
|
|
The food court is nice and we enjoyed the selections. My only complaint is the disposal setup. After having to dump trash/leftovers on the tray to recycle reusable items we found the trash slot too small to dump the trash without using our hands. We noticed many patrons leaving full trays of trash on the tray pile. This disposal system needs work.

Cons:

Long wait time at some stations.
|

I had the opportunity to dine here on 10/27 with my family. We tried foods from pretty much every station. I had the Surf and Surf which I can't recommend enough, it was perfect. Others in my party tried the portuguese sausage, which was great, and the caprese sandwich, which was not just delicious, but also huge, and could probably be split between two people.
The only drawback was a standard cheese pizza, which was far too doughy, with little cheese and sauce. It took way too long to order, so by the time we finally got it, the other meals were bordering on cold.

I thought the selection and choices were plentiful for a value resort. My wife and I had lunch on our first day of vacation. We were not staying at the resort, but came over to check it out. We both had the make your own salad. Choices were plentiful and we both enjoyed it.

Ate here a few times during stay 10/14-10/21. Awesome food esp the surf and surf sandwich. Loved the gelato too. Great options (had hummus/pretzel, cupcakes, pastries, create own pasta, pizza/salad, etc) It was always very crowded.
