Good to know that WDW at least had the MC at some time - I always wondered if they did. I have tried them at other restaurants but they never seem to quite match Disney's -- (there must be a specially designed deep fryer for them). Monte Cristo sandwiches are in many ways a lot like Tiramisu...

I can't believe we are talking about sandwiches on a Disney board and no one has mentioned Monte Cristo sandwiches! It was basically our family's introduction to "culture" all the years we ate at the Blue Bayou Restaurant in DL. In those days, one could walk up and get seated relatively...

Yay! A food thread! I was never a fan of Quiznos but that could be because we have Togo's here and Erik's Deli. Specialty's in SF also makes great sandwiches. The funny thing about food is that it seems to taste better when it has a cult following. Yes, Dole Whip may be just a simple...

I still remember when Disney acquired Pixar and all the crazy expectations that people had. John was going to be the new creative "Walt" in the company, and Steve was going to run roughshod over the yes-men accounteers. There was going to be a renaissance in Disney quality, creative design...

I'm looking forward to it! No doubt you have your canned intro queued -- complete with loud music, deep "monster truck" voice, and explosions (or laser sounds). :cool:

I have read many critiques now about what the new Club 33 has become but yours seems to sum it up the best. In a lot of ways the club is still "hidden", but in all the important ways it's pretty much IN-YOUR-FACE. The changes they have done to widen the bridges and re-purpose the Court of...

Just for comparison, read some of Bob Gurr's insights into designing efficiently. A lot depends on how well the designer understands their craft.

That park is not a result of the "What would Wall Street do" mentality. Nor is it a result of the age of Post Modern irony. edit: You are right, that scene would look good in WS.

When the CM's don't take the time to properly set up the scene and get guests' commitment to the experience, you are going to have distracted talkers. Then again, there will always be those who feel that things don't start till they board the Doombuggies.

Thanks, I wonder if these are more like pre-FastPass lines. Anyone recall what lines for rides like POTC used to be? I recall it being very long, but it moved quickly. And that was with the tickets in use.

I wonder if the longer lines might be attributed to FP+ spreading crowds throughout the day. Are there instances where lines have improved?

You made me curious about Cedar Fair. Not exactly my favorite out there since they are not high on the historic sensitivity scale. Even friends I know who have visited Cedar Point for many many years say that they basically forgot about their traditional family-based guests in favor of the...

Thanks for putting the costs into the proper perspective.

If someone is selling property for an unusually cheap price -- doesn't that usually mean they are trying to avoid sort of tax?? There's also the possibility of selling property to another subsidiary of the company. I don't have an MBA so my knowledge of business thievery is limited. I'm sure...

If Disney wants to pursue this they have a good opportunity to do some fun things with the shop. During Colonial times a lot of goods were shipped from overseas. It would be fun if this shop became a bit of a curios shop but with a supernatural twist to it -- almost in the same light as Rolly...

Even an artist evaluates their work as it progresses, making the careful choices that it takes to achieve their vision. Everyone has the capacity to make such judgements to different degrees thus it is not unreasonable for people to be alarmed by a chaotic paint scheme being applied to a set of...

Most stories I have read indicate that Walt was mostly interested in E.P.C.O.T. The theme park and resorts were secondary to that main focus.

I wouldn't mind it if Knott's tore down Ghostrider. Even though I enjoyed it when it was new, it pretty much obliterated a lot of unique history. Knott's should have embraced and expanded their California Marketplace, not build a coaster in the middle of it. They had a "lifestyle center" before...

I remember the "Promote Paul Pressler" campaign and the empassioned arguments that went with it. And.... Pressler was promoted, caused even more damage....and moved on to CEO of another company. Al's dialogues not only exposed a sick culture within a single company, they highlighted an entire...

Hmmm.....dropping some book deal hints.....is there something new here? I was following Eddie's thread -- it had some thoughtful discussion, like here. I always felt he was being genuine though his coincidental departure with Tony's window unveiling left me wondering what happened. Your comments...
