    In the US, practically anything can be a problem for a lawsuit. After the successful "my coffee was too hot" lawsuit at McDonald's in the late 90's, it seems like anything is possible

    The coffee lawsuit was successful for good reason. Check out this documentary:

    Summer is fast approaching and it can get quite unbearable in Tokyo Disney Resort. One of my favorite ways to cool myself down is.... ICE CREAM! Honorable Rat reviews the Tiramisu Ice Cream Sandwich. Hope that you guys will enjoy this read.

    Isn't there also another dining room on the other side of the food service area, without views of the show? Given the lousy food, I wonder why anybody would opt to sit over there

I have no idea if the food was horrible back then; I didn't eat there; I merely watched the show.

    trekkeruss: I am on the same page with you here. I did not know about Duffy until I visited Tokyo Disney one day and saw a lot of ladies, young and old, and some men carrying him.

    dagobert: Well there's the Salad-In-A-Cup and the fries. Apart from that, nothing vegetarian. Ristorante Di Canaletto is the only place in Tokyo DisneySea that serves up 'real' vegetarian dishes.

    I have to wonder how long this restaurant will last (or has lasted so far). It just doesn't seem like a concept with a wide appeal, but I guess it could make for a nice mid-afternoon break, if you're willing to spend that much money for it

    Traveling to Tokyo Disney, but not entering the parks till the very next day. You have some free time, so what can you do? Why not have a picnic by Tokyo Disneyland? A great way to build up on excitement for your visit to the parks.
