Originally Posted By Spirit of 74 <<It was better when they had the cheese out. The guest probably demanded to get rid of that.>> I thought they had it a few weeks ago, but I didn't get any. But they did have great sauteed mushrooms and onions ... and the best tomatoes I've had at a WDW fixings bar in at least a decade and all sorts of other goodies, including Ken's Ceasar Dressing. Instant filling $5 meal at the MK! (and they didn't lose any money on me because I refuse to spend $12 on a fast food meal at a theme park!)

She advised us to go to City Hall. << Maybe if enough guest complain it will make a difference. I just wonder if Disney believes all of these little treats that disappear, and the drop in quality of the food, won't be noticed?

(and Pierce, going to really try and shoot you an email tonight ... it's either that or cleaning the bathrooms and who wants to do that?)

I just assumed they had removed that permanently. After finding out there was no condement bar at all at the Electric Umbrella, nothing surprised me at all on that trip.

I know how difficult it must be for a person of your stature to keep up with such things. Might I suggest Merry Maids.

If they've messed with that they'll have one peed off Grandma on their hands & it won't be pretty. If we get ice cream it's usually the hard packed on MS or @ somewhere like B&C. Oh well yet another change that no one wants except the bean counters.

Originally Posted By MPierce >> No condiment bar in Electric Umbrella? Not even the little pneumatic ones? << Nope. I even asked a couple of CM about it, and they said "We work for a cheap Mickey". That was the only time I have encountered that.

ORWEN: Maybe they'll lose enough of them to the point where they lose MONEY, too, from all the replacements they have to hand out. ORDDU: As is often the case--especially with Disney--their attempts to save themselves money results in costing them more money. It's a lose-lose situation all around.
