Jury is still out on this one. My thought is they can't do the signature at the volume they pump through BOG which is the current problem, the execution over the quality the chef's imagineered. Time will tell. They will have to cut down dramatically on the reservations to stage the courses correctly, very hard to do with a venue that large. In my own head I can't imagine Disney closing down rooms in BOG and spacing out ADR further apart to pay attention to details of a signature.

Has anyone heard who Disney is bring on board as the new Signature Chef for BOG? I haven't found it yet. Thanks.

I haven't heard anything about the chef but saw part of a menu on the Disney Blog. What gets me is when they first opened it was almost impossible to get into but everything was excellent. They can do it. The question is weather or not they choose to do so.:cautious: Time will tell if this winds up being a cash grab or not

We just barely had access to computers before the late 70's more like the 80's before households even had them and there was no internet, so everything was a floppy disc program based on DOS. I don't remember when we got the first dial up AOL. Good times.

Back at some point in the 80s, I recall some friends who had 2 children (approx. 7-10 years old). So, looking forward, and being on the cutting edge (back then), they bought a computer for the home. The parents looked as it as an investment piece, that would be useful to the kids as they grew older, into high school and college. Little did they know back then, that computer equipment coming along right after that, would be practically obsolete within 6 months or less of the purchase! ;) :p

But, we all grew up with not throwing out things, and usually repairing stuff if it broke.

I really don't get the name. Originally I thought something X-rated then I thought it was a Jiffy Lube type of place with a restaurant attached.

That's basically what they're going for.... the Jiffy Lube thing. The inside is like a mechanic shop with car related memorabilia everywhere. I think it's a play on the words Pit Stop. Like.... when a race car goes in for a pit stop they get refueled, and they want you to stop in for a pit stop and get refueled.

Their food is terrible though.

As he was telling me about it.. all I could do was think of the generation gap between him and me. iPad, instant home color printer (that doesn’t print in dots and lines ha ha), take a picture with your phone and put it on Facebook request.. it’s so crazy to think about.. most of those words/items didn’t exist when we were kids!

Sometimes I wish they still didn't exist.

I was lucky and my parents bought me a Tandy 1000 from Radio Shack in late 1984 or early 1985. I loved it. Then I got a modem down the line and used Compuserve. I am pretty sure that was in 1986.

The only reason my little 2 like it is because the kids meals are presented in a cardboard race car. They have only been to one twice since the nearest one is 45 minutes away. The first time I was with them and the second time dh took them after going to Sky Zone. I considered myself lucky to stay home.;)

We always had a computer, not sure from what year exactly.. but definitely by mid 80s.. and if I remember correctly, my dad had a laptop at some point during the 80s as well.. I just remember it being heavy, and we weren’t allowed to play on that one, only the home computer - which was shared between us, not each kid having their own.
I remember there was a game called Castle (I think that’s the correct name), I used to love playing it. We also always had a printer.. it took funny paper and printed in little lines and dots.. but it worked for banners etc.lol

@MySmallWorldof4 do you know what “castle game” I’m talking about?
