My huband calls it "that nasty skim milk frozen stuff with yellow food coloring". The napkin thing @ Boma's wouldn't bother me if it was done instead of the change in & decrease of quality in food items not in addition to those changes. As for the iceburg salad controversy... Let's face it when you climb down off your ECV and order your 'healthy' salad with eggs, cheese, bacon, crouton's & extra ranch dressing do you really want a green that gets in the way of all that flavor. After all isn't the greens just a vehicle for all the fixin's! In honesty I do love me a salad like that now & again but I won't begin to think I should decide for others. I guess in actuality this thread has stayed painfully on point which sadly is...'it's all about the money'!

Originally Posted By bobbelee9 The little food courty place at WL has a good salad with beets, couscous, goat cheese. I'm not a beet fan but liked that way. Add fresh and dry fruits, nuts or seeds, avacado, kiwi, bananas. Allkinds of cbinations are good.

ORWEN: In some cases the soft serve ice cream is so prone to melt as soon as it is handed over to the guest that it fall right off the cone!! Plus guests notice it doesn't taste as good as the former soft serve does. ORDDU: Supposedly the managers at the various ice cream establishments are aware of the problems but they really aren't one's to be blamed. Meg Croften really needs to pay closer attention than she does--even if she is just a figure head.

(Thanks to a certain special sucky CM for teaching me this new trick!)
