My understanding was that the tables were not full with guest buying expensive appetizers, desserts, and drinks, but instead were full with people camping out for hours, sharing a dessert, and ordering soft drinks.

Two of my favorites are long gone - California Grill and Artist Point. I haven't been to either since they went pre fix and character.

Exactly. I can also move tomorrow and not tell the DMV if I wanted to. Having to prove where I live "at the moment" does not make much sense.

The guy in front of me at the DMV was trying to get them to explain why he needed to fill out the form. He said "The information that is on this form is the exact same information that is on my current non-RealID drivers license. You have this information in your systems. Can't I just tell you...

Yep, we just haven been able to get them for long. Many people in NJ are on their first Real ID. I know there is a difference between State and Federal but the fact that I have a Passport, a Firearms ID (that requires my fingerprints to be on file) and Global Entry (which in addition to...

Not a single dollar is. Property taxes are for municipal services (police, fire, local roads, sewers, parks, rec programs, etc). NJ MVC is a state agency. State income tax, state sales tax, and other fees pay for that mess.

I haven't been to Arthurs in ages, but from what I recall. I would say squarely between the two. I find Outback pretty close to inedible, but more because of their excessive love for salt than the quality of the beef. Although, I have been to some steakhouses that were supposedly high end...

Planes cannot wait. They have time slots that they need to adhere to. This is really nothing new. There have always been provisions for flying without proper ID, well before Real ID hit the scene. If for some reason you had to fly, and did not have ID (such as maybe you lost your wallet while...

I'm guessing sous vide. That still has a "modern fancy vibe" about it for some people.

Here is one thing that I do know. Any place that serves truffle mac and cheese (or for that matter just about truffle anything) can cram it in their hat. Fake truffle (which is what 99% of anything that has truffle "flavor" in it, tastes horrendous to me. It must be a cilantro gene type thing...

I believe that is the place he is referring to. Arthur's is a different sort of restaurant. It's a good place, but it is not a high end steak house, meaning you don't get all the pomp and circumstance and vibe of a steak house. Is that worth the price difference? That is up to the individual...

That event at at Maria and Enzo's is exactly the sort of F&W event I miss. Unfortunately we are not local and cannot just pop in for an event. We planned F&W, doing multiple events over a 4 day trip. A one off event that is being held by an outside restaurant (that is clearly holding it because...

Yeah, a whale watch is not so much like a cruise. Try a short ferry trip, or short sightseeing trip. Whale watching can be pretty rough as well as far from shore. My youngest hates boats. She will suck it up, deal with the anxiety, and get on board if it is short and semi-necessary. Like a...

Does anybody have any sort of insights into this topic? Ever since 2020, WDW has not offered events in conjunction with F&W. Wine and Cheese tastings, Food & Wine Pairings, the oh-so-awesome Beer vs. Wine, the Tequila Lunch, and a host of other thoroughly enjoyable and educational events...

I would love to have a hourly pass of some sort. I don't want to do a forced march either, we like to hang out at the resort, but we do like to pop into parks to eat, or maybe to just do a ride or two and leave. I would really like to have a pass good for the length of our stay (usually...

What really bothers me, is mushrooms send my wife into gastro distress in under 30 minutes. She likes them as far as eating them is concerned, but she has a horrible reaction to them. They seem to be EVERYWHERE as of late. Mushroom powder (to add umami to dishes) is also a big thing. Many times...

As a member, do I LIKE the lounges. Sure, I like them. Are they a game changer for me? Not at all. I don't go out of my way to visit them. They are nice when it's hot, and I am near one, and I feel like taking a load off in the AC and not having to "hobo nap" somewhere. But I don't go out of...

Agreed. I while I am not a fan of taking a "public attraction" away and turning it into a "for certain (paying) people only" place, I don't know if the Shooting Gallery counted as a "beloved experience". I rarely saw anybody there, and in reality it was in pretty poor repair.

When my kids were younger, we lived at RPW. We watched dozen of veterinary procedures. My one daughter camped out in front of the window for so long one time that the CM approached us as said if we hung around until "closing time" that they would let us take a tour of the vet rooms. That was a...

As I have matured my view of "worth it" has changed. Back when I had less disposable income, was a go to the parks parks all day and a room is just a place to sleep kind of person, I was fine staying anywhere. Now, I value to atmosphere, convenience, and amenities of the hotel a lot more than...
