The Chit Chat Chit Chat Thread

Two breakfast buffets this year (you don't have to spend money on lunch); The Wave and Trails End. I have to say The Wave was better. Trails End is always good for dinner.

I love the morning buffet at the Wave. But, I really love Boma too. Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. I wish Disney had an all day breakfast restaurant, or all day buffet. I would get behind that very quickly.

I like your response above to Goofyernmost. Having just returned the other night from a 4-day trip to WDW, I had a great time. My first trip was 1985, so I have some "history" with the parks, and have my own list of complaints over the years--but, I wanted to share with you, that the overall experience is still wonderful.

So glad to hear that. I was getting concerned with all the talk of the cuts going on.

 

[betty rose]

I'll be honest. Too many to play ketchup, so I am just jumping in where you all are.

I will probably do that when I get back.

And I hope you will share those pics!

I plan to, probably not as many as last year though.

Same, I have never experienced it because it was always down when I was there :/

Sympathy like.
We've always enjoyed Dinosaur. But, the last time we rode it in '13 it was already having a few issues. It's past time for the refurb.

Fun fact...
The red, yellow, and white pipes when you go down to the main queue area have the chemical formulas for ketchup, mustard, and mayo written on them. It's left over from the McD's sponsorship that ended in '08.

Thanks, @donaldtoo, I love seeing things that are no longer in the parks. Fun to look back.

Actually, as far as I know anyway, that was still there recently, and probably (hopefully) will still be there after the refurb.

That would be a fun read on the plane. Going to see if I can find something, at the local bookstore.

Indeed! I have done same on our flights in years past. I have 2 Disney trivia books, but, they are a bit dated. Try to find more recent stuff (your DD should be able to help), as it makes for good reading! And, of course, Disney history really fascinates me, as well...!

 

[StarWarsGirl]

Are those still canon?
I mean... Disney pretty much chunked huge areas of Star Wars.

Yup. Both are cannon. Disney's logo is even inside. Disney's done several new novels that are cannon.

I love being reminded of the things that are no longer in Disney, it brings back so many memories.
