Actually, if you Google Disney food that sucks out loud, that’s the first place to comes up. Perfect example of what I call “bad Disney”.

Was good early on....not so much any moreActually, if you Google Disney food that sucks out loud, that’s the first place to comes up. Perfect example of what I call “bad Disney”.
What kind of work did your father do?That’s quite a connection. My father helped build part of MK as well(Space mountain). What restaurant on the Boardwalk did you work at?

Got it... I only asked because of SM... My Dad was an Iron Worker (structural steel/hanging iron, not to be confused with steelworkers) and they erect roller coasters.All types of construction. Residential trim carpentry all the way up to Space Mountain and the some of the Matthew's bridge in Jax.

Nailed itNow that you mention it, that’s how I remember it. It wasn’t terrible years back. It’s now in full blown, “why do we care, people are still gonna come here because we’re here” mode. Aside from Flying Fish that whole Boardwalk strip is not good. The middle space that has been about 10 different Mediterranean places has always been a disaster. Then of course there’s the ESPN Club, which was always packed to the point of having people lined up waiting outside, so they closed that one.
We always eat at Il Mulino, which is a far cry from their flagship in NYC, but still good.

I just walked into a Buccees (almost like Disney if we’re honest) and came face to face with a young couple in their N95 masks looking terrified. Both masks looked about 30 days old. Guess they will live the rest of their lives with them on. Viruses aren’t going anywhere.I think I’ve told the story before, but since we’re talking, Disney, I will re-share. One of the greatest moments of the whole Covid fiasco was a weekend in May 2021 when they decided to lift the mask mandate. A friend and I were getting off Soaring with our kids and saw a couple of fat(of course) cast members practically fuming as they spoke to one another off to the side. I kept hearing words like data, CDC, etc.. peppered throughout their low volume rant. Then my wife tells me the news that the mandate did indeed end that night at. But just to confirm, I asked a different cast member, who was an older Indian lady. She immediately dismissed it in a condescending, mocking tone. “Oh no, that’s not happening”, she said. I realized then that she knew the reality, but was just unable to come to terms with it. “No, no, no”, she scoffed. So, me being me, I pressed. I kept saying, “I don’t know, it says right here….”, and “you may be right, but this looks pretty legit..” This interaction must’ve lasted 5 minutes and the other dad I was with was literally out of breath laughing close by.
That year and a half window of these chubby freak shows being able to yell at guests and be rude had come to an abrupt end.

I was pissed when they changed the song on It's a Small World... but when they did the same for my beloved Peter Pan ride, I was DONE with that f'n place! Don't even get me started on the pussification of Pirates! DONE!!!!
