Jennifer do they have a QS lunch? I've always been confused as to whether lunch is still a sit-down only.

We had QS lunch there in October, 2013 and again in November 2014.
You order your food at a kiosk, tap your MB or take a rose; sit down; get your drinks and cutlery from a self-serve counter; and your food is delivered within 5-10 mins.

That's very interesting. It's a little like a hybrid of QS and sit-down You order your food yourself, get your own drinks and cutlery, but then the food is delivered to your table. Hmmm . . . I kinda like that.

I grew up in an Oldsmobile family. I learned to drive a Delmont with a v8, then folks ordered a Delta 88 with a specific large engine and paid dearly for it. Wound up part of a lawsuit because it wasn't a v8, wasn't the engine they upgraded to and it was a Chevy specific engine. They unloaded it and then bought a 98 followed up a cutless surpreme when my Dad retired. That car quickly went to my DS cause he was too old to climb in and out of that car and bucket seats, it was fast but it did have fuel injection by then. My Dad replaced it with an Olds Intrigue. Still has it, less than 40,000 miles still. Only dent is where the man hit my Dads car, blowing through a stop sign on his bike and landed on Dads hood. Bicyclist got the ticket.

I grew up in a GM family. I barely remember my pop trading in his '57 Chevy (he previously owned a '55 Chevy) for a '64 Olds F-85, shortly before we moved to NoCal in '68. The only other Olds they ever bought though was the aforementioned '86 Delta 88 with the high output motor.
Right now my folks own a late model Honda Pilot, that old '70 Chevy Camper Special pickup (with just a camper shell on, now), a '96 Chevy pickup with a camper shell, and that '53 Golden Anniversary Ford F-350 truck I've mentioned before, that came from my moms pop. He only ever bought Fords, his whole life, from his first...a '29 Model A ragtop. It deteriorated over the years, but, he completely restored it in the late '60's-early '70's, and kept it 'til the day he passed.

No, the second step would be finding a way for Disney to develop real grass that wouldn't die while being trampled by thousands of people a day. Here's a thought. The whole place is designed to force your imagination. Imagine it's real grass and it will be just fine.

Oh my.
I just hope when they decide to build a castle at the next theme park, they don't put up a giant, primary-colored, blow-up one, and hope we "imagine" it as the really well-themed ones they used to do. o_O ;)

I hate to break this to you but that is a plastic molded replica of a castle. You have been imagining that it was a real castle all these years and have been quite happy with it. See how they do that?;)

Are you SERIOUS?!?!?!
There is not ONE SINGLE STONE in that whole castle?!?!?! :jawdrop:
the difference is, it actually LOOKS like there are real stones in the castle. They can develop AstroTurf until the end of time and it will always still look like fake grass. Bad fake grass. Always.

I went someplace last year that had grass that resembled absolutely nothing I had ever seen before, but it was real. The place was Augusta National Golf Club (The Masters). It was a green that I have never seen in nature, but, like I said, it was real. How, I don't know and I haven't spent one sleepless night wondering either. Maybe I'm lucky because now I can accept the Astro stuff, walk right past it, know why it's there and be just as happy as I can possibly be. (No comments on that last statement please, I do have feelings.)

I've seen both, as well (we actually do have golf courses in Texas ;)). I can still tell the difference.
I'm not gonna' go there and pee on it, I just think AstroTurf (again, from Texas :joyfull: ;)) looks cheap. Always.
I would have been happier with well-themed concrete, which Disney actually has been known to do quite well.
