The Hot Dog Hall of Fame… outsourced Redesign.
Disney Dining

The Wave of American Flavors @ Disney’s Contemporary.

The dining experience is very confusing and the food very average.
Bar is neat, the dining area looks like an upscale Denny’s.
Service was good though.
Give me a cheeseburger.

Cosmic Rays Cheese Steaks are back and they’re not bad.
They use Cheese Wiz or a melted cheese that looks and tastes like it!
That’s a cheesesteak??

The Plaza – totally underrated.
-
Mexico – La Cava del Tequila.
Finger foods and wares are excellent.

The great Duffy Conspiracy - Duffy never stopped being sold.
Only recently pulled him, gave him clothes and rebranded him Duffy.

Ian thinks it’s an epic fail.
John pointed out he never saw more than 4-5 people in line for Duffy.
Shopping
-
Has become very vanilla and bland.
-
We want to spend money but we’ve all cut back.
-
Ian once bought so much he had to ship it home.
We’ve been having a GREAT TIME despite the Cranky-ness

-
Ian has a brick – not the ones John and Mel thought though located in back
of the Contemporary.
-
It IS called Top of the World – Ian was wrong.
-
John sees matching towers eventually – to make it look less out of place.
The Inferno Barge Guy & his bunker
-
Mel wishes he was unemployed (she doesn’t like Illuminations in the
Reflections of Earth incarnation.
