Casey's Corner testing new menu?

[DougK]

but when you complain about FAST FOOD at a THEME PARK, you will forever be on my stupid list. :hammer::brick:

Implying someone is stupid because they disagree with you puts you on my stupid list.

Are people really unfamiliar with what a Chicago style hotdog is?

A Chicago dog is traditionally prepared as follows:

Vienna beef hot dog
Poppyseed bun
Diced tomatoes
Sport peppers
Sweet relish
Bun length slice of pickle (or a whole pickle spear)
Celery salt

Yellow mustard is optional.

I'm not from Chicago so I am not familiar with Chicago style. I am, however familiar with Pittsburgh style, which is cole slaw and french fries ON the sandwich of your choice....my preferred being a colossal fried fish with coleslaw, french fries and hot sauce.:slurp:

Once again, Walt Disney World consists of THEME PARKS. Magic Kingdom averages 30,000-40,000 people per day. Almost all of those people are going to eat at some point per day. The overall mentality for quick service at Disney World is FAST FOOD. Quality of offerings will always be secondary as Disney does everything to cut corners and grow their bottom line. Plus they do have a huge expansion to pay for... last i checked, the new Ariel ride alone is costing Disney near $100 million. Sorry to disappoint everyone.

The fast food offerings used to be better and had a bigger variety... and now they're not. I don't see how this is not a valid complaint?

NEWS FLASH! Casey's is a "Quick Service" food location in the Magic Kingdom, which means it's FAST FOOD. Your order is thrown together in about 30 seconds just like McDonalds, Burger King or Wendy's. It is truly starting to get pathetic when people are knocking the so called "quality" of a fast food location in a THEME PARK none the less. I don't whine on internet boards about the quality of McDonalds or Taco Bell food, so why do people whine about Disney fast food? Your order is not special, it's not custom made, it comes off a hotline. There's a pan of hot dogs, corn dogs, fries and nachos on the hotline and cast members are simply grabbing whatever you ordered and throwing it on your tray or in the window as quickly as possible so you don't complain about it taking too long for your order. If you have a complaint about food, only make it a valid complaint if you've been served a meal at a table service restaurant like Plaza, Tony's, Liberty Tree Tavern or Cinderella's Royal Table. Fast food is not about quality, it's about convenience and how fast it can be made, I don't walk into Burger King expecting a gourmet meal. You can complain about outdated attractions or entertainment all you want and I will support your valid argument, but when you complain about FAST FOOD at a THEME PARK, you will forever be on my stupid list. :hammer::brick:

I'm not sure I follow this logic either ... I didn't pay $80 to enter, and $10+ for a hot dog meal to get Taco Bell quality!

As others have mentioned, the quality and variety has decreased in the past several years, so this is a completely appropriate complaint. While there is only so much you can do with a hot dog or burger, decent quick service food is certainly possible (e.g., Sunshine Seasons food court at Epcot, Rancho Zocalo or French Market at DL, Flame Tree at AK, etc.).

Throw in prompt service and decent prices and even better!

Hey people still put mayo on an Italian hoagie.

It would be interesting if disney had a sandwich shop in MK that offered regional sandwiches that would be authentic, it would be a step up from earls.

When it comes to hotdogs all I want is the Dog, the bun and mustard. Nothing fancy.

 

[greebomusic]

Maybe some Detroit coney dogs?

All I can say is I like the trend. The humble hot dog is IMHO very under used in WDW. A hot dog is like a blank canvas. It can be turned in to something simple, beautiful and minimalistic, it can end up a complex masterpiece, or it can be a jumbled up mess that defies logic and simply works. I would love to see a place in WDW that could replicate some of the dogs shown on the Travel Channel's Hot Dog Paradise.

Yeah, I always thought a soup/sandwich/salad place would work well at the MK also, maybe something with Panera Bread type food. I know that Tomorrowland Terrace Noodle Station has struggled with menu choices, but this might be something that could catch on, because the menu could be fairly broad.

But you come from the land of rippers and danger dogs.

Well having a sandwich from every region in the country will have that broad appeal to every guest. The thing is most of our regional sandwiches don't have ingredients that can't be used in another sandwich. Take a beef on weck; what makes it special is the bread that is used, it uses roast beef that can be used for a french dip and an Italian beef. The turkey used for a Bobbie can also be used for a Hot Brown.

He's not so much complaining about it not being a gourmet hotdog but that it used to be bigger and better and they cut back. Just another example of the Disney cutbacks they try to squeak by with such as processed chicken nuggets and the Lights of Winter.

That's exactly what I was saying. Apparently TRONorail10 requires reading glasses or needs to take a reading comprehension course. I never thought I would get flamed in a thread about hot dogs, much less for making what is a pretty obvious statement. I guess we all have to eat half-sized hot dogs at Casey's because Disney's building The Little Mermaid ride, but that's ok because it's only FAST FOOD and FAST FOOD should be slop on a bun with fries, even though said slop was twice as big 3 years ago and the price remains the same, if not higher. But what do I know, I'm on the "stupid" list.

I agree. The 2 places shown in Chicago, Superdawg and Hot Doug's are fantastic...

I have made those at home before. Sure my cholesterol jumped 30 points but it was sooooo worth it.:slurp:

"The Dog Den" (I've assumed naming rights) is now on the top of my list on things I want to see come to Disney! 9am and I'm starving!

Or maybe "Pluto's Dog House"

 

[ChrisM]

Now you're talking. The best!

 

[Brian Noble]

Having lived in Pittsburgh, and currently living in SE Michigan, I am in favor of both Primanti's and the Detroit Coney. I have not yet had a deep fried dog-wrapped-in-bacon, but it looks like a good idea to me.

Chris and Brian: The big question is.... Lafayette or American?
