maybe i was standing behind the door but i have missed the nugget of information that tells us why you will not be back to wdw in 2010 ---
I think I will use Mr. Burns to rate items on the Overhyped Restaurant Tour...I have this graphic...
but what can he say if the food isn't excellent?
There is an episode where Smithers is cooking dinner for Mr. Burns and he mentions that a kind word now and then would make him feel a little more appreciated, to which Mr. Burns replies, "I'm choking it down!"
EDITED TO ADD THIS PICTURE!
Food is okay (or okely-dokely)
will add words to the pic since I couldn't find one with words
Food stinks
Simpsons Rating System is born.
Anyone here watch Top Chef Masters? Ted Flanders IS Rick Bayless!
I hear Artist Point has put the buffalo back on the menu. I may go back for that. But the buffalo is really expensive and I don't do no stinkin' dining plan.
Today I made a breakfast reservation at the Wave ... the rationale being that since room service is so overpriced, and since they've pared the room service menus down so much anyway ... we'd be better off trying something new. I've got it booked for Tuesday, October 20th ... the day we're going to try to drink around the world.
The key to successful, long-lasting World Showcase Alcoholic Domination is a hearty, nutritious breakfast ... washed down with booze!
I also forgot to mention earlier that we are likely to visit Beaches & Cream twice on this visit. Jay and I always kick off a Beach Club Villas stay with lunch at B&C; Guest Y has declared in no uncertain terms that we must order the Kitchen Sink, so it looks like we will be paying B&C a second visit after X&Y join us at WDW. Jay and I are game ... we think it will be a hoot. Finally ... a little enthusiasm from the relatives!
Ok, I guess so.
But I think the guy I surreptitiously snapped a photo of (without flash; at the Adventurers Club) was the quintessential Ned Flanders:
Tell me that's not Ned.
I remember that I keep looking at him, thinking, "How do I know that guy? He looks so familar." Then I blurted out that he looks just like Ned Flanders.
That is great!Your guy looks like Gut Smiley with a mustache!
I am now convinced that I am trying to cram two vacations worth of food into this one trip in October.

No F&W for you 2010?
Gosh Darn it! That will be the earliest DH and I can go.....WAH!
Oh well - I guess I will just have to live through you (and MickyNicki, and BriarRose...) this year. (Nope, I'm not jealous....not Saint Spratt [Ok, who am I kidding...certainly not me...])
I don't reallt dig PTR's, but for you, I'm in!
Best,
Mrs. Spratt
Geez... How in the Sam Hill did I miss THIS??? And 6 pages in ???
oh, I must've been at Disney... duh.
Can't wait to read the report B!
I think if I tried to hang with you and your dining plans I would be ill. Very ill. I might have to do a Yak. The verb... NOT the noun.
Anyhoo.... keep the snarky comments coming! Love it all!
Ms. H
Huzzah! They caught the Disney spirit! All you had to do is bribe them with a sink full of icecream, cake, brownies, and a can of whipped cream.

Oh, I so hope you'll use that system in October, too. We probably will rate the special events okely-dokely or higher.

Preaching to the choir here, too. I don't do no stinkin' DDP, and I like the buffalo. I like the mushroom soup, too. And that's what kept me returning to Artist Point. Now it's priced a bit high for me.
Geez, woman! You're all about the breakfast! I have made no ADRs for breakfast. Zero. Zip. Nada. If I am up early enough and want it enough, I'd walk to Kouzzina or that Formerly Known as Gacky place at the Yacht Club.
Carbs and grease. An unbeatable combination.
I never had a Kitchen Sink. Mainly because I would think it's nasty after two minutes of melting. And I don't usually have a posse with me to share it. I can handle the No Way José, with face or without.

Brenda, I'm officially jealous..... I haven't been to Citricos for over a year..... it's our "very favoritest" place to eat...... have fun!!!!
Oh, I knew it had to be you based on that title! So glad to see you back with a new review...can't wait! I'll use it as my prep for my early Nov. F&W trip!
Yay, Brenda , so glad to see that we all have another one of your WONDERFUL trip reports to look forward to!! Your writing style is a great read. I leave for my WDW b-day trip in 32 days . I hope you have as much fun on your birthday as I KNOW I will have on mine . Love to see that you are planning on 2 trips to Beaches & Cream, a big favorite of my friend that is going with me and myself. We actually have 2 stops there in our plans as well .
Brenda - I may be slow on the uptake tonight, but I just realized I have two very good friends who are also on the DIS who are on the same cruise with you next year. I will have to "introduce" you all to one another!
I love your trip reports...I have stayed up late many nights reading through them.
I don't usually post a response, but noticed your dates. I am joining a group of Dissers Oct 14th-19th and plan on being either at Epcot gorging myself on the food and wine festival or sleeping off my gorging at the pool.
If you see a brunette in Epcot pointing out you and your husband going "oh my god!" it's probably me
Excellent! We don't know too many people on this cruise, but we also haven't been hanging on the cruise boards either. My first DIS-love will always be the restaurant boards.
I would love to be a fly on the wall to see that!

I had no idea you were taking a cruise! I've been playing around with the idea of taking one, but keeping going to Disney World instead. I'll be looking foward to know what you think of the food, even if it is a year away.
Just found ya Bendy! I am so in for this one. Your Food trippies are one-of-a-kind, girl!

One of them I think you "know" from your other TRs: BoosGram (Joanne). She lives here in the 'Burg and we get together every once in a while to talk and have a good time. I wish it were more often. Her DH will be along for the trip.
The other two are friends from the Creative DISign boards, DDA thread. We have all known one another for 4-5 years and have vacationed together at WDW, MagicMeets and even in between in Baltimore (they live in the Lancaster, PA area). Steffy (Stephanie) and tink1bell (Terry) are crazy, fun people who have gone so far as to crash my family reunion at WDW in 2007 (along with 17 other DDA DISers). That was a riot, too! They are celebrating Stephanie's birthday on the cruise, sans hubbies.
If all the people on the cruise are like 6 of you it will be a cruise that goes down in the record books!
LOL...I may have to buy an autograph book for the occasion.
I could be that fly on the wall. I'm going to be there on those exact dates, too.
I'm thinking that Ocotber is going to be one rip-roaring good time at WDW ... l
