They interviewed a Disney spokes person and she did the expected routine. Having only 8 people report sickness out of all those meals served is quite impressive....unless you are one of those 8, of course.:D

They stuck it to the Cape May Cafe and blamed it on the steamed clams. I've dined there probably half a dozen times without a problem. In fact, last trip in 12/03, I personally ate over 200 clams just by myself.:dazzle:

Maybe the morons ate the clams that never opened. Sickness from shellfish is caused by uneducated eaters more than mishandling. In most cases, they were bad long before the chef go them. I can certainly understand how a chef can miss things here and there given the hectic work load of a Disney kitchen, but they are still the first line of defense.

Regardless, the only thing I agreed with the report was that the Coral Reef was terrible.:rolleyes:

Well, sounds like its authentic Cape May food to me :D

All kidding aside, in January my friend was feeling queasy after eating the shellfish, which i managed to avoid. But then we both ended up with that nasty flu that seems to be going around, so it was more likely that.

Either way, based on the number of times ive gotten sick from resturants in Cape May, NJ, KYW-3 has some serious nerve to try and stick it to Disney on this.

Saw same report. I think it was done by a florida tv station actually.

I will say this. It seems that people often get sick at those buffets and don't report. Coincidentally in March 2002 i went to chef mickeys and woke up with...um stomach problems next morning. I wrote it off to the stress from the day before traveling to disney and not sleeping night before. But then coincidentally members in my group were also feeling slightly queasy but we really didn't make the connection. A year later I had a friend who went to dinnery at chef mickeys and had the same symptoms but worse. But i've eaten at buffets at disney three times prior and never gotten sick. So it seems to me that although it is a coincidence, buffets "period" whether in disney or elsewhere are just breeding grounds for stuff. So when it comes to buffet eat your own risk. I know my roomate just got major food poisoning recently at a buffet here in jersey.

As for the report it was laughably funny how they were striving to make a story. What i am curious about is how many people have been paid to not talk. Was it only that eight or are there others? And does disney keep track of customer complaints as to food. It seems that the complaints they were referring to involve complaints to the State of Florida about Disney not direct complaints to disney. It seems to me they missed a possible story. But whether there is a story there or not we will never know.
