When we went to get a quick bite for lunch at the fast food restaurant behind Indiana Jones (I think it's called the Back Lot something or other) we were surprised to find out they've made some changes to their condiment counter. For one thing, they don't have honey mustard any more! They've also changed the kind of bar-b-que sauce from the small packaged ones to a less tasty version that they have inside the same kind of container that the ketchup and regular mustard are stored. ORDDU: This newest version of the bar-b-que sauce just doesn't measure up to the packaged variety they used to provide. And the fact that they've done away with honey mustard altogether smacks of yet another budget cut--minor as it may seem to some. ORWEN: We asked the cast member on duty why they had stopped putting out the honey mustard and she didn't seem to know. ORDDU: But when I suggested it must be due to budget cuts, she offerd a knowing look as if to say, "You're right but I can't officially confirm or deny." ORWEN: It was bad enough when they took away chicken fingers and substituted them with those puny chicken nuggets because now you get less cluck for your buck. ORDDU: It just makes us wonder how much further these budget cuts are going to go. ORWEN: Oh and I almost forgot to say anything about the fact that the cast member on duty said they had also stopped giving out Ranch dressing at this same restaurant. So, I ask you; what's a salad to do without Ranch dressing? Go naked??? ORDDU: We've noticed that--usally--when one restaurant discontinues an item such a these--all the other restaurants property wide follow suit. Little things like a nice variety of condiments can make a big difference in one's enjoyment of a meal. We'd hate to see any more food items discontinued at Walt Disney World.

ORGOCH: Ya ought ta know, sister, considerin' how much time ya spent behind bars! ORWEN: I can't believe Disney can't afford to stay with the same condiments they used to offer their guests. It's enough to make a witch wanna' pack her own cauldron for lunch from now on!

Originally Posted By Witches of Morva ORDDU: By the way, blueharvest82, duckling, the nice thing about Laughing Place is that everybody here has a different idea of what's 'meaningful' versus what isn't. We see topics all the time that anyone could go out of their way to say was equally meaningless but we'd hate to repeat what you just did because we take no pleasure in insulting the sweet little ducklings out there who took the time to express something that had meaning to them. I can promise you we will never express such negativity about a topic YOU happen to create. We'd be more inclined to simply move on and let you have your say. ORWEN: And just so you know, the cast member we talked to said the honey mustard at this particular restaurant had most surely been discontinued. She even went back to check with her manager to see if they were just out of it or what. That's when she also told us about the Ranch dressing being discontinued, too. ORGOCH: Have a tragical day!
Originally Posted By Witches of Morva ORWEN: Oh, no, deephil, duckling! We LOVE bar-b-que sauce. We've tasted a LOT of different kinds. But this institutionalized stuff is so bad we just can't hide how we feel about it. As Remy the Rat might say, when your taste buds are put through such a bad experience, it can ruin your whole day!!
Originally Posted By Indigo I can back up the witches. It's not just that they removed some of the condiments, as if they were out that day, but rather that they totally reconfigured the condiments so that there's no place to hand out said condiments anymore. It's not all locations, yet. Harbor House at MK still had the usual assortment.

Originally Posted By davewasbaloo Hmmmm, at first I wondered if this meant HISTA was going. Oh well, add it to the list, like the cheese sauce at Casey's corner.
Originally Posted By Witches of Morva ORDDU: Let's hope that doesn't go away, either--or that it's changed to some cheaper, jail house version.

The powers that be are counting on folks not noticing all the minor things, but it's evident that they have noticed. If the bar-b-que sauce isn't as good, and the chicken nuggets aren't as good, and you can't get honey mustard any more, and you can't get ranch dressing for your salad your enjoyment of the over all experience at the park has taken a hit. It's all the little things that add up to the complete Disney day at the park.
