A Spirited Dirty Dozen ...

[Mike S]

On the disney social media front - here's something amusing from the parks blog. They wrote a photo essay about Old Key West Resort, including this photo:

Take a look at the bottom. It looks like a 2 year old when crazy with the eraser brush! My question is: What were they trying to erase away? Chips in the paint? Stains on the couch?

Meh. I can go to actual Key West for much less, and I have.

I'll give you that. There seems to be two distinct camps here when it comes to Cheese on a steak, Wiz or Provolone.

You can get a 1/2 decent cheesesteak for Florida at that Soda Shop at the bottom of Swolfin (cant remember which one).... its not bad and its better than anything Disney has tried to make.

A PHILLY Cheesesteak is made with wit wiz... A Steak and Cheese is made with provolone.

On another note we have properly baptized this Spirited thread with a discussion of cheesesteaks. Need a few more pages to discuss Chicago vs NYC pizza

Or whether it's called "Sauce" or "Gravy" on pasta

I'm gonna give them the benefit of the doubt on this one. It could be just to add focus to the lamp. If they had stains or chipped paint they could easily take the photo in another room right?

You have too much faith, from experience I bet the mind set is $%£& it Ill fix it in photoshop. Software makes you lazy.

Haven't been to Chicago so I guess I'm NYC by default. My favorite place is over by MSG, NY Pizza Suprema

Sauce. Gravy is for biscuits.

or traditional sunday lunches. for them what eats that type of meal.

In some parts of New York and Rhode Island it's called tomato gravy to the utter bafflement of the rest of the world I remember ordering pasta in a LI diner and was asked whether I wanted extra gravy... Said yes of course

That... that... yeah. The only thing that may make sense of that is this: my mom grew up on LI, and they were the first Sicilian/Italian family in their town. She said before my grandparents moved there, the town was predominately Irish and German. So maybe that Northern European influence is deep there? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

But there's so many Italian-Americans in NY and RI now, you'd think sauce would be the nomenclature... Tomato gravy just sounds like something I do not want.

Especially since I live in the South and am Southern - gravy and sauce are both equally awesome but should never ever be combined. Like Twizzlers and gauc.

Mmmmm. Jims cheesesteaks.

Sauce. Gravy is for biscuits. Sauce is for pasta.

Usually it happens once or twice a year. We have to educate these children properly. None of them know the finer things, like dry aged beef.

Which leads me to wonder, why the hell can't i get a dry aged ribeye on property?

I'm already licking my chops for my next Philly trip (end of June, seeing Phish at The Mann) ....more excited about the food, tbh.

35 years in Cherry Hill and now Del Co. Very rarely have I had a cheesesteak with wiz. American is the cheese of choice outside of Genos and Pats (also rarely visited). So many local good cheesesteak spots here in the burbs.

Oh and Disney is killing me right now with all this BS. Fix your stuff Disney. Taking the kids in Dec and might be the last trip for a few years. Be Better.

I'm also Sicilian and hearing Gumba's calling tomato sauce Gravy really annoys me for some reason.

Disney of the 80s and 90s would have taken your free advice and made the Studios' transformation an event in itself.

Disney of 2016 will probably sell quarter-size pieces of the Streets of America for $10/each.

There, I fixed that price for you.

I don't understand why fixing one park at a time is the responsible thing to do. Not baiting you, would just like to hear why a company that employs so many people and has such tremendous resources might be considered irresponsible if it attempted to fix more than 1 park at a time?

Limited creative talent to ensure quality controI through too many projects. Just saw on a web site that Haunted Mansion took over 10 years from concept to reality. I know Walt passed during the process, but not rushing the creative process enables the "Disney difference".

May that never change.

LOL, not if you've been in the Co-Op at Disney Springs
