I understand but there is some sort of requirement or special recipe for a real "buffalo wing" ?
Does it need to use the basic Frank's sauce?

No, it's the original sauce but there is also butter involved. The proper wing is pretty meaty, has to have skin on, and it has to be deep fried unail the skin is crispy. Sauce should not touch those wings until it's ready to go to the table. If you sauce them too early or they sit, the wing isn't crispy anymore. It's not brain surgery, but no one seems to get it right outside of buffalo except quaker stake, but they focus too much on ridiculous hot sauces.

There's a guy who has been to DLR every day for the past two years or something - it started in 2012 when he lost his job, and he hasn't quit. Every. Day. He now has a website and tries to get media invites to events. I'll see if I can dig it up.

EDIT: Found it. Not a site, just twitter/instagram. https://twitter.com/Disney366

To be perfectly honest, if I were local to Disneyland, and were able to afford it, I would be there just about every day too. It's my happy place.

However if I just lost my job, THEN decided to go buy an AP and go to DL everyday... then yall could call me nuts all you want because it would be a very deserved title.

What a strange read that was, though. I think if I were to do DL everyday for...yikes, 900+ days I'd at least post a photo a day or something. Eh, to each their own.

Spirited UNI Update of the Day:

OK, I'll probably get slaughtered in the Twitverse for saying this, but some information has come to me regarding Potter 2.0 and Gringotts in particular. I can't go into detail about much, just know that this is VERY well sourced.

Here are some facts:

Gringotts COULD start cycling with real live guests just mere hours from now. The key word is could as that is the plan and COULD happen if all comes together.

Gringotts likely SHOULD not be doing so for another month or so because, frankly and despite everything else you will hear (including breathless reviews if any fanbois get on it tonight and it doesn't breakdown) it just isn't ready to go, just like it wasn't ready for the media preview.

Realistically, this summer is going to be a very tough one for Potter fans because Gringotts' issues haven't been fully resolved and this is going to lead to much reduced capacity, over what the ride is capable of -- and will be down the line, and (likely) frequent downtime on the attraction.

Again, none of the above is opinion. It is fact. It is sourced.

Gringotts is going to be a great ride. But it likely is going to take several months to get this up to speed and to full capacity and not have stoppages during the day.

Hopefully, this isn't lost in all that talk about chicken (and I am getting hungry myself!)

The one I am talking about is part of the Jungle Jims complex in Fairfield. It is a sit down. Wings seem meaty and the price is decent. Plenty of national beers and some locals brews available to was them down with. The deal sealer for me is the boneless. BW3 seems like they use frozen Banquet nuggets and toss them in sauce. Buffalo Wings and Rings uses tenders that are tossed in sauce. If I recall, you can get either a breaded tender or a non breaded. Something about the non-breaded, fired and then sauced that makes me happy. Buffalo Wild Wings, in my understanding IS BW3. Used to be Buffalo Wild Wings and Weck, hence the 3 W's. Shortened to BDubs which, like Hooters, I do not go there for the wings. . .

I could use a good Beef on Weck.

I heard it's mostly audio issues with Gringotts

I've heard the computer issue as well. Something to do with the paint or coating on the car not playing well with the sensor systems. Not an engineer, don't ask me for details--all I heard (from an unofficial tho reliable source) is that ride vehicles were behaving like bumper cars when they should not be.

I haven't paid a lot of attention to the specific rides in DA, but what type of ride is Gringotts exactly? Is it a coaster, a dark ride, or what? Could these issues cause injury?

I think it's a hybrid, but it's ultimately a moving vehicle, so yeah, if it slams into something with people on-board, I'd expect a call from John Morgan*.

They can run it with about 3 cars, to minimize the risk of them hitting each other (which is what happened during media previews apparently), but the expected capacity was based on something like 13 cars running. I assume this is what the Spirit is alluding to.

Interesting, good and bad news all rolled into one. The amount of tech involved in this ride is mind boggling, to bring it all together to run as one seamless package even more so. They will learn more as they go along and iron out the kinks. Fingers crossed it doesn't impact to much on guest experiences in DA.

How about I join Nemo 14 in trying to get somewhat back on topic, and circle back to something the thread author has touched on in a couple of posts. TWDC and possible strange bedfellows and their use of technology and influence on human behavior. A great article from today discussing Facebook, other companies and "mood experiments". (Mod please remove if link against rules).
