As an Outdoor Vending Cast Member responsible for ensuring the department upholds health codes, the turkey legs are perfectly fine. Now frozen lemonade, that's a different story ...
Originally Posted By Roger55 The "ewww" was not meant as a health issue, but more of a food "quality" statement. Food most always tastes better when eaten right after it is cooked. I whole heartedly believe DL does it's best to adhere to heath department set standards. p.s. Not EVEN gonna ask about the lemonade!

Originally Posted By DIS Ohana ^^For some reason, those Ebay turkey legs don't look as good as the Disneyland ones. Then again, there are a lot of things I eat at DL that I'd probably never eat anywhere else. Like those giant pickles...
Originally Posted By trekkeruss Well, for one thing, they aren't nearly as big as the ones sold at DL, and second, the pic is kinda dark. All the member feedback is greta though. Now, this pic is better, and the legs are even bigger than the ones at DL: <a href="http://www.farmpac.com/product.asp?ProductID=14714&DepartmentID=" target="_blank">http://www.farmpac.com/product .asp?ProductID=14714&DepartmentID=</a> Yummmmm ~~~~~

Originally Posted By iluvdisneyland Looking at that link in post 29, the turkey legs don't look much bigger at all. So... $64.50 for 12 legs. We buy legs in boxes of 24. Multiply $64.50 by 2... and you get $129.00 - then divide by 24... $5.37 a piece if we'll assume that Disney pays that same price as the general public. A turkey leg is $6 at the park, so that means Disney is only making a $0.63 profit... Hmmmm... interesting.
Originally Posted By trekkeruss <<the turkey legs don't look much bigger at all.>> According to a Disney representitive who was interviewed on one of those WDW behind the scenes shows, the park legs are one and a half pounds. <<$5.37 a piece if we'll assume that Disney pays that same price as the general public.>> Why would Disney pay that much? Those aren't wholesale prices, they're more like gourmet, mail-order food prices.
