Terrible restaurants

[Ms. Tinkerbell]

Sorry you had such bad service...
Am I the only one here who never ever finds anything wrong when I go to WDW?

Maybe im just soooo happy just to be there and know that no matter what happens..Im at WDW..life is good.

Me!! Me!! WDW or Disneyland/DCA everything is just wonderful to me

I can't disagree with you regarding some of the counter service restaurants throughout the World. I have had bad experiences with counter service, most recently at the Electric Umbrella and Pecos Bill Cafe. It seems that the places are madhouses and things are getting slopped all over the place! Some of the workers don't seem to care what kind of work they are doing and the service sure isn't swift to say the least. However, Disney meals are normally the best in the World!

Again, if you have issues over the last few or next few weeks where cast members have alot of difficulties, remember: many, if not most, of the cast members at food service are new CPs! The old CPs left and the new ones started arriving in early January and will keep arriving for a couple weeks. And it will take them a little while to learn what they're doing. It's not necessarily bad cast members, it's new trainees.

In your husband's defense, I too would never go back to the ABC Commissary. It has one of the worst food anywhere, and the slowest counter service I've ever come across. Why it takes so long to get my food, even when they're not busy, is beyond me. And I've given them at least 5 difference chances, not just one or two.

But other than that, I haven't had any complaints with the service at other counter service places. I notice that you didn't try (or at least it wasn't in your husband's report) Sunshine Seasons, which is my most favorte counter service place at WDW.

Zz.

I guess we all have differant experiances at Disney dining facilities.
My wife and I absolutely LOVE to eat at ABC Commissary on every trip and have never had a bad meal or slow service there. I'm talking about 15 differant times we have eaten there.
We did, however, have a bad experiance at The Electric Umbrella on our last trip.
The place was supposed to close at 9:00PM that night and we got in line at 8:30. It took until 8:45 to get our food and the Hamburgers were warm at best as were the french fries. We had no ice in our drinks. When we went to the condiment station, we found they had taken away every thing. All that was left was ketchup and mustard and guess what? All the ketchup pump thingies were empty at the station where we were at so we had to walk all over the place to find one that wasn't empty. The garbage cans were overflowing and the place was just a general mess.
I'm not a picky eater nor am I a clean freak, but this place won't ever be getting our business again.

I really don't like Prime Time Cafe or The California Grill. Out of the two, I think that California Grill is the worst.

I have to say I have been very happy with the food service at WDW and as of right now I can't think of a bad service experience so if I did have one it could not have been too bad as I don't remember it happening. I have to say though I don't care for the counter service places for the most part though. I just am not big on eating burgers and chicken strips, etc. The only ones I really like are the Columbia Harbour House in the MK and the Tuskar House in AK. Other than that we pretty much do sit down meals.

Raglin Road looks gross, Cap'n Jack's rules and PIZZA PLANET ROCKS!

When you say you were three people back in line and had a 45 minute wait, I'm guessing you meant 3 back from the cashier, not 3 back from the line waiting for food past the cashier.

Counter service at WDW isn't usually any better or worse than your typical fast food joint. Well, except for the exorbitant prices, I guess! :lol:

Dan! It's been a while :wave:

We've also never had any really horrifying experiences with Disney restaurants, although I would have to agree that the ABC commisarry is the worst food we've had in any of the four parks. We love Columbia Harbor House though :wave:

I heard some complaints over at the Raglin Road Stinks thread about the smell and the food. I suggust you all go to Pizza Planet or Cap'n Jack's. (not Sparrow)
