Official Disney Description:

Bop into a Fabulous Fifties kitchenette where Mom is waiting to serve you a heaping plate of comfort food. Enjoy some of your favorite classic sitcom Moms on television sets while you gulp down such favorites as meatloaf, fried chicken, pot roast and milk shakes. So, come in, relax and be prepared for Mom, in her loving way, to treat you as one of her own and encourage you to "join the clean plate club."

The Review: Hands down the 50's Prime Time Café is a client and family favorite. The atmosphere will take you back to the old days where the family always sat at the dinner table together (well they did on tv anyway) and Mom (your waiter) will bring your food straight to the table. The food here is always deliciously homemade and the atmosphere get's two thumbs-up.

Introducing Aquatica™ - a whimsical, one-of-a-kind waterpark that’s only in Orlando and could only come from SeaWorld, where one river floats you through an undersea world of colourful fish and another races you into rolling rapids. Slides that spin and soak you, and the incredible signature ride – Dolphin Plunge, with two awesome, enclosed tube slides that send you speeding through a lively lagoon filled with playful, black and white Commerson’s dolphins. Especially for the little ones, there’s the huge water play area, Kata’s Kookaburra Cove! Play, in on or over the serene-to-extreme waters in the gigantic double wave pools, then soak in the sun (or the cooling shade) on the white sand beach.

Aquatica is where the fun is as endless as the sea itself.

We truly enjoyed our stay at the CBR. Check-in was quick, and the staff was very helpful and courteous and our room was ready for us.

Outstanding Points Bus system was outstanding. At the start of our holiday we decided to take the first park bus that came along and you would be unlucky to wait more than 5 minutes. Even wanting a specific park then 15 minutes wait was our maximum. Re-fillable mugs must be your first buy. It will pay for itself within 48 hours. Cast members (staff) were all fantastic. Like anyone, they can have a bad day as much as anyone so we may have been lucky. Jamaica village is sooo convenient. 5 minute walk over two bridges to Old Port Royale (food court and shop) which was very refreshing in the morning. Aruba would be good as well. If you like to jog and have a good workout, then go round the resort. Big and colourful, you won’t be alone. Jamaica pool was perfect, right size and never overcrowded. Same with the village’s beach area. Hammocks throughout the resort.

Good Points Room size is good for 2 + 2 small kids, anything else then get two rooms (connecting door available) Main pool was very busy but scenic. I never saw less than 3 lifeguards on duty but I was only there twice.

Not So Good Points Cleaning was generally good but occasionally (2 out of 13 nights) not as thorough as it could be. I found the menu at Shutters quite limited but who goes to Disney to eat? Pillows left a little to be desired. If you can bring your own then do so! Prices are high throughout Disney but heck, you’re on holiday, you really cannot expect Mall prices.

About Cold Stone Creamery

Experts in Innovation If it has anything to do with ice cream, it has everything to do with Cold Stone Creamery. From unique ice cream creations to smoothies, cakes and shakes – nobody serves up the ultimate indulgence like Cold Stone. It starts with using the highest quality ingredients and ends with our signature process for preparing your custom creation on a frozen granite stone.

Because the World Deserves Better Ice Cream Rest assured, our expertise in innovating indulgence didn’t just happen by accident. Our founders, Donald and Susan Sutherland, discovered their true calling in 1988 when, driven by their passion to serve the world's best ice cream, they opened the first Cold Stone Creamery in Tempe, Arizona. And now, more than 1,400 stores later, people have really warmed up to their cool idea.

Has It Really Been That Long? Through almost 20 years of serving up the finest ice cream, cakes, smoothies and shakes, some things have certainly changed. And frankly, some things haven’t. Ever since we opened our first store back in 1988, we’ve been serving up what we refer to as Creations™. In other words, if you want it in your ice cream – you get it. By mixing nuts, fruits and candy into our smooth and creamy ice cream on a frozen granite stone (around here, we call it “the stone”) we're actually more like ice cream artists. Over the years, we’ve stumbled on a few concoctions of our own that we call our Cold Stone Signature Creations. Ice cream for breakfast, a smoothie for lunch, and a sensible cake for dinner? – Who says you can’t eat this amazing ice cream for all three meals?
