I agree.I've eaten at most of the higher rated places in WDW over the last 25+ years.
The most underrated I would say is Sanaa. And overrated for me would be Le Cellier.
The best meal and worst meal I've had however are Narcoossee's (Best) and Coral Reef (Worst). I left Victoria and Alberts Chef Table off because that was really the best, but that would be unfair to compare to any other meal.
The famous interacting is hit or miss these days. I've gotten varying levels of it over the past bunch of years, but nothing like I remember back 10-15 years ago when I first started going. They seem to have gotten very few people who know how to take playful jabs at people beyond the standard stuff (no elbows on the table, etc.). Sometimes they can just act more rude than funny (and then they often ease up). It's a hard balance for sure, but the talent isn't quite there anymore.
I don't think Sanaa portions at dinner are appropriate for the prices. Lunch is better in that regard.
I think it was coached out of them. Guests who didn't get the shtick kept complaining and they deliberately toned down the show.
While I didn't like the schtick, I didn't complain about it. I kinda knew what I was in for. Still, after being nagged a few times to get my elbows off the table, I would have been fine if she figgered it out and just stopped.
Used to love Trails End... Not the same since reopening. Don't waste your time or money.
Maybe some guests got it but still didn't care for it? I know the sound of it didn't appeal to me.
Yeah that's sort of what I meant. It didn't appeal to you, so you skipped it. I think a lot of guests booked it not knowing what it was and were unpleasantly surprised.
