The food at the Snow White dinner was so good we wondered if it was still the Artist’s Point chefs.

I never said it brings zero value. Experience may vary

I went to Boathouse this past May for my Dads bday everyone raved about the place so on and so forth. Now we are talking a legit restaurant not one inside a theme park To me nothing special. Over rated over hyped and definitely over priced…

I said people. I wasnt directing it towards you… is the product perfect? No. What is? I can remember the days people hated FP even when it was free. Noone wants to pay extra for what was free. But for most of us on this site who are knowledgable know the game of what to pre book and understand drops we can definitely make it work imo.
I've got nothing against the buffets. Those are typically good on margins because the cost equation is better.
I'm talking all the Tier 1 TS restaurants and third party locations that accept the DDP. They get squeezed by the DDP and the results speak for themselves in the mediocre nature of the culinary and value experience.

The food is fine…but a terrible value if your goal is NOT to scarf as much food as possible before Minnie walks by…
Especially the kids prices. Which is downright predatory…like orcas playing with a wounded seal.
But they are banking bout $40 a kid in straight up profits there. Can’t say I blame them to be honest

Yeah…like trying to extract maximum yield through fomo tactics while having a general disdain for their customers at the top levels?
That kinda thing?
The Chef Mickey dinner is a shadow of its former self.

Yes some definitely are better than others especially your CM comment. I stopped going there for years it got so bad but it has been better of late but agreed nothing to write home about anymore

So while I know it’s common for Single Pass to sell out, I’m not sure I’ve seen multipass sell out before the day of. Multipass for Epcot is sold out Monday March 30th.

I’m actually happy to see this, it shows they actually do limit it.
Our first time using MP, before you could prebook 3, we only got 1 at HS before everything was sold out, it was a horrible first experience and we felt completely ripped off. We had a much better experience the second time we used it because we were able to pick 3 before paying for it.
If they don’t restrict MP it’s just an expensive FP with the same capacity issues FP was supposedly cancelled over.

On my recent visit just a few weeks ago, I actually had better pop-ups occur than I did on a slower day earlier this year.
Early this year, on a very slow day: Frozen, Remy, and TT were all sold out before the park opened. A few weeks back, Remy was actually available until 10am or so and Soarin' was available much of the day, even though it was a much busier park day.
The return times you list for Nemo, LwtL, Figment, and SSE are similar to what I saw for LL pre-book availability on the very slow day. Standby waits for those rides were almost all walk-on most of the day, except LwtL around lunchtime, and SE spiked up to about 15minutes mid-day for a little while.
