Sounds like they added the character dining thing. As for the hotel, it is excellent. The grounds are beautiful and the rooms and amenities are better than what Disney offers. There are several eating options including Islands, Emeril's Tchop Tchop (sp?), and Jakes American Bar. The only thing lacking is a quick serve type of place. My only complaint is that the rooms weren't as sound proof as I would have liked them to be. I could hear noise in the hallway, but other than that the hotel was excellent. I would definately stay there again.
