Fox On The Run - Sweet, Miss You - Stones, Mamma Said - Shirelles, Born To Be Alive - Patrick Hernandez, Ramblin' Man - Allman Brothers

The one time I dined at V&A's was at the Chef's Table. The food was quite good. It was a good dining month, as I had V&A's and Le Bernardin within two weeks of each other. While I'd say it's hard to compare the two as they're stylistically so different, when I asked myself the question, "Which...

Luma on Park in Winter Park. Good food, plus small, but very well curated wine list.

I'd like to point out that the furlough language in the STCU contract states that furloughed employees shall retain medical insurance. So yes, on the surface, it may appear that the Union is negotiating for what is already provisioned. However, if employees aren't working, does the provision as...

This is not entirely true. While Florida is a right to work state and this weakens unions, it doesn’t change the fact that the contract covering the largest swath of hourly workers does contain language relating to furlough, lay-off, and recall. Recall is based on seniority, with some additional...

I don't post here often. The past few weeks have given me ample time to reflect on these issues. Please know that the following is just speculation and my own opinion. I don't see how one profitably runs a theme park and maintains social distancing guidelines in any effective way. There are a...

A few years ago, Jiko switched to non-serrated steak knives. While this certainly is more elegant, a restaurant that goes this route must have a program in place dedicated to keeping them razor sharp, which I can't imagine Jiko has. Considering that a knife edge to a ceramic plate is knife...

No they didn't.

Wishes, by far, has the more sophisticated score and its recording production value from a technical standpoint is clearly superior to anyone with a decent set of ears. How can you not like Night on Bald Mountain in contrapuntally integrated with Poor Unfortunate Souls? Wishes, especially its...

I am not disagreeing that there is always room for improvement in any operation, be it a hospitality one or a factory or whatever. I'm just saying that I'm not certain folks here understand just how much industrial engineers are involved in the modern Disney Parks experience, for better or for...

Do you know what Industrial Engineers do? They'll tell you that they make your operation better, when in reality, they're often the reason you can walk up to a sit down restaurant in a park, see that only half of the restaurant is occupied, only to be told that they have no more availability for...

What sense did it make to shoot pyro for a Castle show from the buildings in Fantasyland?

I'm not talking about value pricing I'm talking about value engineering, aka, offering less of an experience for more or equivalent money over time in the hopes that your consumer won't notice it or care. Firstly, value doesn't mean cheap necessarily. To me, value means that you're simply...

I don’t think VandA’s manager so much bucked the system as the company realizes that certain formulas can’t be tinkered with and when you have a restaurant that aspires to be an Alinea or Le Bernardin or the like where folks are literally dropping thousands on a single meal or even bottle of...

Holiday Wishes with the NYE tag will not be presented this year. It’s Fantasy In The Sky four times in two days.

There should be one performance of Celebrate The Magic on the 19th.

Ding, Dong, The Witch Is Dead?

A standard pour of Porto is 3 oz so that glass is about the right size.

There's quite a bit of synth instruments all over FoF actually. It's harder to tell from the parade route, but it's in every unit. Thankfully full orchestra's are still engaged for fireworks shows, that is, unless the music is intentionally electronic a la the Toyland and Trepak bits of Holiday...

I don't think the small group of musicians featured in that video for FoF qualifies as an orchestra. It's an oft used trick these days to record a few live musicians to lay down on top of synth strings and fool folks into thinking they might be hearing a full orchestra. Now, A Frozen Holiday...
