Funny because I noticed a problem with quite a few of the restrooms at various parks. I have on occasion come across a restroom that needed tending at DL, but at WDW, that seemed to be the norm rather than the exception. > My wife was disappointed with the shrinking menu at Spoodles; especially the virtual elimination of Tapas. On the other hand, my Portuguese Seafood Stew was the most delicious meal I’ve ever had at a Disney restaurant!! We ended up deciding to go to Spoodles on the spur of the moment because friends had mentioned they liked it. I actually liked the appetizer menu, and we could have made a meal out of that no problem if my husband was feeling better. We shared the mediterranean dips, and that was really good. I too had the stew and loved it. The husband had the chicken and said it was fairly tasteless. > We also had the good experience we’ve come to expect at the Biergarten. That's somewhere I'd like to try eventually, particularly since friends have said how much they like it. We ate at the counter in Germany again, and we enjoyed it as much as last time. > We were rather disappointed by the Kona Café at the Poly. We had breakfast there on Sunday, and I rather enjoyed it, though I've discovered that the much-talked-about tonga toast is too sweet for my preference. I loved walked around the Polynesian. If we were going to stay at a Deluxe, that would be one of the top choices. > We thought that The Seas with Nemo and Friends was a much needed addition to what was previously a pretty dead Living Seas attraction in recent years. It is a very enjoyable dark ride that I found quite creative. I absolutely loved that ride. We only went on it twice, but I could have gone on it lots more times. And I loved the seagulls in front! > We were disappointed by mechanical breakdowns while riding Buzz Lightyear and the Carousel of Progress We had done Buzz at WDW before Buzz came to DL, but I guess I didn't remember it well. I like DL's better, mostly because you can take the gun out of the holster. At WDW, with the gun attached, it's really hard to aim and hit your targets. Loved seeing Carousel of Progress again. Can we trade DL's Innoventions for that? /cs
