I agree, it was always a great time. I do hope it turns around, it really was pretty great. The pricing was higher, but so was the quality. Those noodles were AMAZING!!! Id still prefer the pineapple back for dessert as opposed to the bread pudding or maybe pineapple upside down cake? Not a fan of the bread pudding though. Marie
Ah yes, the pineapple dessert was excellent. I do very much enjoy the bread pudding, too though. I consider (obviously, only my own opinion) those two an even trade. The noodles were still there and very very good the last time I went. Honestly, everything was very good, except for the steak...but it really put a damper on the rest of the experience for me.
We just ate at Yachtsman last week after not having been there in 10 yrs.
I took a quick glance at the menu and WOW that looks impressive!!! I may have to get over there one day!!! Marie
I get what you are saying. I will pay up to $300/night for Poly since it is my husband's favorite resort. My trip in June 2020 is for two weeks and I paid about $250/night to stay at Copper Creek and BLT. I think that is a good deal. Mods are about the same price I am paying for rented DVC points and I don't have to pay for parking either.
Except the one in NYC blows Le Cellier out of the water in quality and taste. Le Cellier has become a victim of the quality cuts at Disney as well. Not what it once was, but still charges more.
Funny that you mention Disney stock and Disney restaurants. A couple could choose to purchase one TS meal or one share of DIS stock for about the same price. The difference would be when the bottom falls out of the stock and it retreats 20% at least you still have 80% of your money. When the TS meal falls out of the bottom you will flush the remainder of your purchase away leaving you with 0% of your initial investment. Perhaps this whole "bring your own food to eat at a Disney restaurant so I can afford to buy DIS stock" thing has some merit after all...@LSLS is saying that your "it's not the real world, it's Disney World" doesn't hold water because Disney is actively adopting policies of resorts that exist in the real world.
In direct response to you...not likely. Disney has been showing us more and more that guest experience doesn't matter one iota if they are able to increase the bottom line. Those stocks you like to brag about owning so much? Stockholders and the board of directors are EXACTLY why we're seeing exorbitant price hikes across the board. I would think those stocks you own would enable you to afford to actually buy food at the restaurants you choose to dine in.
Smith and Wollensky is a COMPLETELY different league than Le Cellier. The quality of food and service is tremendously different. So while prices might be similar, the overall experience is definitely not comparable.
Now we should compare the Le Cellier Filet Mignon to the Applebees Filet. Much closer comp for quality.
