I believe the point is, if Disney is providing a convention center, one of the nicer ones I've ever seen, then one would assume the standard accompaniments (like a bar) would be available as well. Many companies choose to hold conventions in and around Orlando so employees can bring their...

The GTO isnt a Grand Prix (but it does look like one), its a rebadged Holden Monaro-- In any case, I'm sure if they DID use GTOs - which may or may not have been part of the plan for the US show at some point - it would just be the same design car they use now with a GTOesque shell on it.

That, or the grizzled old man I always see walking past France mumbling something to himself about how he "ain't goin in dere!"

A while back my brother and I were at the China Pavilion and caught the end of a kids tumbling act. As the crowd was dispersing after the show, my bro noticed a handful of very excited little children with their grandfather going on about how great the act was... "Wow! Those Chinese kids...

well, 1 entree is between 25 and 45 bucks, an app is 8-18, and dessert is about that range too- so unless you just get a plate of pasta and nothing to drink, I'd expect to pay about 50-150 per person, depending on how much and what you drink.

said it before and I'll say it again- Best restaurant on property, but a LOT of people who have absolutely no business in that kind of restaurant go just to see the fireworks. And that draw manages to ruin the ambiance for most of the serious foodies. If you're really in it for the food, go...

I'm an out of towner, and I love my AP because I can just run over to Epcot for a couple hours on an otherwise park-free day. Sure the discounts are nice when they have them. It is also the only way for us to get a DDE membership, which in a family of 5 eaters, probably saved us the price of...

Morocco- the theming and art are authentic and incredibly well done, and the food is damn good.

I believe there is a reservation deposit and a penalty for cancelling less than 24 hours in advance- it might even be 48 hours or more. As far as I know, the only restaurant at Disney that does that, probably because of excess unfilled ressies. I would just pick a day and stick with it, early...

the coffee maker might leave a coffee scent to the water, but it might not be too strong. You might even be able to request a new coffee machine at the front desk. The best thing you can do in Orlando is use bottled water for your tea (or coffee for that matter). It can get a little bit...

The intimidation factor and the anticipation are just too much for some people to handle. Kinda like good Vietnamese food, or that hot chick across the bar- rarely is it about the actual ride, just perfectly normal paranoia and fear of the unknown.

The problem with the star ratings is, (in the USA) they aren't given by any central authority. A hotel with a star rating typically means AAA hasn't reviewed it yet. The hotel will consult AAA guidelines and assign themselves stars depending on what they think they deserve. [EDIT]-- If the...

hey now, just because ducks are delicious, don't lump me (or that crane) in with Scientologists!

not trying to be insulting in any way, but does the phrase "quick service McDonalds" bother anyone else?

The original EPCOT entrance medley, with its... classical-meets-TRON vibe. Possibly my earliest Disney memory too, seems like everyone else remembers the castle or something.

...why does chicken little look like hes just conquered MK?

Wow, I'm not sure, but I think its actually more annoying than all caps... at least my brain knows to automatically ignores posts in all caps; this I try to read for some reason, and end up with a splitting headache.

It really does depend where you're from: Chicago water is usually pretty good, but during the summer it gets a funny taste- something about spawning zebra mussels :hurl: At that point, I'd much rather have the heavily chlorinated orlando water.

If its someone's first trip, I'd say MK is a must see (although not a ton of time need be spent). Despite the sentiment on this board, I've definitely skipped MK on short trips with no ill effect. For me, I'm in it for Epcot, have been since I was three. The rest of the family though, thats...

The worst food I've had was at the Sci-Fi, which is too bad, because I really like the theming. Worst service was, also sorry to say, at Cali Grill. I've probably eaten there half a dozen times, and its always been great except that one time. She didn't know the wine list, she was never...
