This process is still not improved as a single security guard is dedicated to rooting around through people’s wallets, retainer cases and change purses. 25+ minutes to get into DCA from the GC tonight.

They finally replaced the speakers in the library scenes to have a much louder more binaural sound for the final piece of dialogue on the pre-show. I continue to think if they just put a little money into redoing the Fifth Dimension scene, which was budget cut down from what they originally...

Not really though. Flying Fish next door is in the same price range but offers much "fancier" food by any objective measure. Tons of restaurants at WDW offer creative, unique dishes. CBS's problem is that no matter how hard you try a chicken salad sandwich or a ham & cheese baguette are gonna be...

Agree with this. The decor and experience are giving luxury. The food menu is giving “fancy hotel lobby food you eat in a pinch but it won’t be amazing.” Tough to reconcile those two things. They need to step up the food or bring the pricing to earth.

My friend and I compared it to eating lunch at the Ritz in Paris or Plaza in New York. Both grand experiences to be sure, but is the experience alone worth $30 for a plain ham & cheese sandwich, which will also certainly not be the best ham & cheese experience of your life? That said, people do...

The rent has to be astronomical and they still seem to be 50% full most of the time. Hopefully showing up on MDE will help.

This is the problem. I think this concept works in Indiana where there's a market for "special occasion" places with casual food. At WDW, when the entire trip is a special occasion and little girls are always treated like princesses, there's an upper limit to what people are willing to pay for...

Yes, I've been. The food is fine, but nothing to write home about. I've also read and seen many reviews. It's the atmosphere + service that makes it special. If the food was just 20% more creative and 5-10% less expensive it'd be a home run (though I continue to believe it'd be most home at GF)...

Yes, I'm well aware? My point is that if the opportunity could present itself, the Cake Bake Shop feels like it could fit in more at GF than at Boardwalk, especially if they took over the tea service. My other point is that they are trying to present this like a truly fine "special" dining...

100% I think she was eager for a WDW location, BW space was open and the theme ever so loosely fit. I just think the food is basically very overpriced cafe food with some fancy cakes. The atmosphere and price point mostly doesn't match the creativity or quality of most of the food. Breakfast is...

I don't know what you're trying to say here. GFC is fine but nothing special. Cake Bake Shop would have made more sense in the Grand.

I've read and watched a ton. The reviews for the bakery are fine enough, though often feeling the cake is overpriced. The negative reviews I've seen is from the restaurant itself, both the prepared food and the desserts. People seem to think it's all fine -- some very good, other options not...

The most shocking part of this, other than the prices, is that the reviews for the cakes themselves are decidedly very mixed.

Oddly the reviews I've seen seem to be about 50% "this cake is great but not worth $27" to 50% "meh tastes pre-made."

Truly curious how this is performing against expectations. Nearly every review I've seen has the restaurant half-empty. In general, the reviews seem to be that the service is excellent, the atmosphere is amazing and while the food is decent, it's nowhere near worthy of the price. $25 for a ham...

Paseo was very good, but I think it's a tad high end for the location. If they brought the prices down maybe 20% and offered a few more accessible options, I think it'd be 10/10. They don't even offer chips + salsa (for free or for a fee)

Once WDW got the dining plan it kind of decimated food quality across the resort as restaurants were forced to homogenize menus and ingredients. Signature restaurants still kept some level of autonomy, even though everything is still tightly controlled.

RIP to when they actually used to make treats in the confectionary on Main Street.

Jellyrolls is Disney operated already.

When it opened PI was in existence, so perhaps that satisfied the requirement? I genuinely don't know but still seems odd to me that in an era where everything closes at 11 and ADH is a ghost town most of the time it's open that it has lasted and not just been turned into a venue for special events.
