I have to admit, there's nothing I want to eat there anymore. Which totally stinks since it used to be the best place to pick-and-chose from a lot of different items. Sure there's still a variety, but I don't need goat cheese, beets, and wild greens. :hurl: Just not my style in the slightest.Nemo14 said:

Oh man, they had the recipe for these on the Disney Channel back in the 80's (You know WAY back when adults could watch) and she makes them at home all the time.
I'm glad Disney is offering more variety in the counter service realm, but I can't say there is anything at Sunshine Seasons that I care anything about. I'm a picky eater, so I guess that's natural. But I'm not going to complain about it because it is good to have something different for other guests.

All I know is the land now has those chicken ligs, and they are SO GOOD. I would hop over to epcot from other parks just to eat them.

I used to get the handwich with the shrimp salad... I always liked that one...
It's nice to see some variety but I miss some of the things they had at the Land

I absolutely LOVE the sunshine seasons. An AMAZING salmon dish with yummy garlic red-skinned mashed potatoes for 9 bucks! Cant beat it! And the asian stirfry is great too! All kinds of good stuff. I too hop over there to eat even when visiting other parks. That sauce they put on the side of the salmon... I keep forgeting to ask for the recipe. And I agree the chicken legs are good too.+

I too have fond memories of Disney's Handwich (the sandwich of the future). They also sold them at the Lunching Pad in Tomorrowland. I tell people about them all the time. They disappeared from the menus back in the early 90s some time.
The "Oriental Cheese-Dog" is an item that I miss much less.
I don't eat as much at Sunshine Seasons now, but I like the idea of getting more variety than chicken strips and burgers. I just wish there could be more of a happy middle ground between Pecos Bill and Studio Catering Co.
Starring Rolls, Pinnochio Village Haus, Columbia Harbour House, Tusker House, and Earl of Sandwich all exist in that "middle ground" for me, but People are all different. Listen to guests ask CMs about dining and for every "Is there ANYWHERE that doesn't serve just burgers?!?!?" you'll hear "Is there ANYWHERE that just serves regular food, like burgers?!?!?" Both equally silly questions if you've been reading any of the menus, but common points of view nonetheless.

That's a shame because it's much better now. Lots of great items that show off different flavors. Give it a try!Tigger1988 said:

I do appricate being able to make your own drink in The Land. I HATE ice in soda, and so it's perfect for me. Although I must admit, I do ask for it without ice at the other counter-service restraunts. I've never had a problem with that they always get it right! Then agian, I know how to put it in the computer, after seeing it done so many times.:lookaroun

Just like to point out that those of us that like it are speaking of the food and the quality of the food, not the layout or the atmosphere like you mention above.

Good point, but I wasn't just talking about the layout. There is nothing I saw on the menu that interested me. I'm all for having different items in a counter service setting for others, but it wouldn't hurt to have some less exotic stuff as well. How about something as simple as a grilled chicken breast with baked potato or rice pilaf? You can be creative without going to the extreme. And the Handwich was a perfect example of that.

I enjoyed those handwiches for lunch, since I knew I'd be sitting down in WS for dinner (somewhere different every trip).
While different, those open-faced sandwiches in Norway are now my favourite for lunch - good food, Rignes beer and those lovely Norwegian ladies...yeehaw!

I see your point, and it is valid. I just don't quite see the Sunshine Seasons as being extreme. The main menu items at the Sunshine Seasons are Stir-fry, Salmon with Mashed Potatoes, Rotisserie Chicken, Gyros, Salads, Cuban Sandwiches and Sushi. These all seem quite normal to me, and in fact maybe a bit more 'upscale' but certainly not extreme. Just my personal opinion. I'll be eating lunch there tomorrow as a matter of factdxwwf3 said:
Now I just have to figure out if I want the beef stir-fry or the Salmon with Pesto....... Tough Choice!

I don't think it is extreme either, but it is pretty darn exotic. Rotisserie chicken flatbreads would be fine, but the sides are Wild Greens and Tabbouleh. I don't even know what the heck Tabbouleh is :lol:. My point is, it is fantastic to have these things for adventurous eaters, but you are limiting the number of guests who want to eat there when you do not have one line for more simple foods. You know if they had roasted chicken, roast beef, BBQ pork, and green beans, mashed potatoes, and corn in one line. That is my argument.
