Boo! I actually like that place.

I'm disappointed, too. The food isn't my favorite (though I could always find something to enjoy). But we've always enjoyed the atmosphere and cocktails.

Emeril is soooooo 1999...like sun dried tomato

He absolutely is. I mean, he can go be with Wolfgang Puck and have some butternut squash (which I made last night and it was still delicious) something, but that place had solid sushi, which is hard to find around Uni (uni, get it?) or WDW.

That I can get behind. A new version of the show is fine (although I do enjoy the one they have), but removing it altogether would make me sad.

Lol...I still can enjoy emerils...and I still love pucks.

It's old...but still tastes good on occasion.

Unlike Cinderella, Tony's, primetime, and chef mickeys...which continue to suck as always.

I can agree with you on 3 out of 4 of those. But primetime was pretty darn good when we were there. Not even close to Satuli, but still good (and relatively cheap in terms of disney).

We had a really good breakfast at cindy's. Can't speak to the other meals though

Define "good breakfast"...cause the food blows and they whack you like $60 or something...

...I'll go with the oxford definition of "good" on this one...

Prime time was stale in the 1990's...but then all the other restaurants were better quality...

Now after the slide in effort prime time may actually be good

We found it really tasty and our server was great who brought us multiple options to have. We also went when two of our 3 kids were still free and they all loved it and there is something special to eating in the castle.

It's fiberglass and concrete with smoking lounges below it...

Of course it’s not a value/good place for adults but you’re telling me that little kids aren’t going find it pretty cool to eat in the castle?

Oh I'll give you that...but theyre not the ones with the plastic that drove the prices to 1% of GDP

And people pay two hundred dollars a pop to watch grown men play a child’s game or have a jam session.

Not much that we spend money on as a “luxury” makes much sense

It's not about what it is, it's about what it represents. And yes, they get more than a pound of flesh for that little bit of suspension of reality.

Something can be both cool and overpriced. They are not mutually exclusive states.

At a game...you're not required to convince yourself that a fantasy is real...key difference.

...unless you're a Jets fan

 

[lockedoutlogic]

Please, rest assured I understand the illusion...what I don't believe in is the suspension of COMMON sense for fantasy...the two can and should be mutually exclusive.

I think both of these have an element of escapism to them.

I agree that there’s a breaking point where the money spent even for an escape experience such as Disney becomes ridiculous (200 dollar rooms at pop for example). But I don’t think it’s really that ridiculous a justification that a lukewarm meal inside the castle isn’t a justifiable expense in a place like Disney
