Oh, sorry I forgot to mention that it was a pressed penny machine.

That's what I figured.

My mom is reading this over my shoulder, and she wants you to know that the service was horrible, and it is the worst restaurant she had been to, in WDW.

Click to expand...

So service, not the food.
I'm usually kind of iffy when it comes to going back to a place I wasn't happy with.
(Can I be more vague?)
Two strikes and you're definitely out.
But I have been to places where it wasn't so great once, tried again and loved it.

I will make allowances for just being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
(Server/cook had an off day.)

I guess. You can't just leave the area if you're on a ride.

Okay. I'll still stick with hydrant.

On my camera, there is an effect called Miniature Effect, and you select a part of the screen that you want in focus, and it blurs the rest of it.

Click to expand...

Ah. I thought it might be, since you had an earlier pic with that effect.

We ate at Wolfgang Puck's and I had half a baked chicken and mashed potatoes.

Click to expand...

I should eat that chicken.
It would go well with most of my ideas.

MisterSquid said:

The cashiers were astonishingly slow. Most of the people on the line behind us walked off. When we walked up to place our order, Sheena told them "this system just isn't working"

They didn't care.

Click to expand...

They usually don't.
"I just work here."

Here's a jazz musician guitar guy and another associate behind him who probably demands equal pay (I think they call them "drummers").

Ooooh... so we get to see Laura's dark side.

"The Satchel That Contains The Binder" of all things Disney.

Click to expand...

It was Friday, and our morning started by watching TV. At around 10:00, Aunt Laura74, Uncle Squid, and Monkston came over to keep their bags in a room, while they switch rooms. Yes, I said switch rooms. In the same resort! When we only have the rest of Friday, Saturday, and a little bit of Sunday.

When they were there, we were talking about what we would do that day. We decided to rent a boat. Oh no.

The last time we rented a boat, was three years ago, and we ended up being yelled at (honked at) by the Disney CIA. It all started when we were in the Seven Seas Lagoon. My dad was driving, and we were by the (now closed) Discovery Island. Apparently, we were in restricted waterways, and a big ferryboat came out of nowhere. We were honked at (repeatedly), until we made it out of there alive. Until the Disney CIA magically appeared in front of us, and told us to get out. Now.

Hopefully that won't happen this year.

We walked out to the Yacht Club, and rented a 10 person boat. We got on, and we were off!

Timelapse time!

After the boat, we went to the Big River Grille for lunch, and got a waiter who was not afraid to talk bad about Disney. He told us about the CM's wages, benefits, who gets paid more, and so on. We were also told that the waiters in WDW have the best jobs. In order to get a job as a waiter, someone has to die. Yup, they have the best jobs, and are envied by everyone else. The food was very good too.

After lunch, my dad and I went to DHS, and everyone else went to the pool. We went on ST (I made FP on the way over) and saw IJSS.



We then decided to head back to the Boardwalk, and get dressed for 50's Prime Time Cafe.

Fast forward three hours

Everyone walked into FPT, and got seated and met "Lorena". The food was ok (I had Aunt Liz's Fried Chicken), but the entertainment was great!

First, my mom was yelled at for having her elbows on the table (she was given homework). Next, Uncle Squid hid his collard greens under a napkin (he was warned that they "invade your plate"), until our waitress noticed.

After that, he was sung "Happy Birthday".

Finally, we got a group picture, and left. (Aunt Laura74 has this. Will you post it? Please!)

We've been there twice (and the food is part of it too).

MisterSquid said:

I was walking the dog (while thinking about this?) and concluded that... this should indeed be referred to as "The Satchel That Contains The Binder" of all things Disney.

Ya, that's what I should have called it.

Click to expand...

Ok, here it is, a tour of "The Satchel That Contains The Binder" of all things Disney, and "The Binder of All Things Disney''.

Sadly, I cannot show you everything that is in the binder, because that post would be way too long, so I'll show you "The Binder of All Things Disney'', at a glance.



The "Satchel That Contains The Binder", and everything in it, that I carried around all day, every day.

Shoot. I'm at work. Sometimes they work (like the next two videos you posted) sometimes they don't.
I'll have to check it out at home.

Um... Not entertaining.
I don't go to a restaurant to hear a waiter complain about his issues.
Not impressed.

That thing must have weighed a ton to carry around all day in the parks!! But so cool!!!

The only thing that's faster than "The Satchel That Contains The Binder" is a Rolodex of "The Satchel That Contains The Binder"

Walt Disney would likely hire Grumpy to insult you for the information that's contained in that binder.

We don't have the group picture of all of us at Prime Time Cafe TGM. Only Sheena would have required that (from the waitress).

I was embarrassed that I was being spoon-fed by a horn-rimmed gal who was supposed to be my Mumma... and she was 15 years younger than me!

In truth, we didn't fully address the "Butterknife Incident" with yer Dad (Druid).

How did it happen? Why did it happen? Did he feel it when it happened?

Nah. He'd do it for free.
(Great line though.)

You're not going to tell me that the waitress slipped it in his pants?!?!?!?

Oh! I completely forgot.

"Lorena" was holding a tray, over by my dad, when my mom claims that she saw a utensil slip off of the tray, but she did not hear it land.

My dad, later, felt something cold in his pants, and my mom looked at him, and saw a butter knife sticking out of his pants.

He pulled it out, showed it to the waitress (who, if you ask me, was acting suspicious), and she laughed and apologized.

I thought I saw him (the other waiter in the video, with the lighter) with Aunt Laura74's phone.

My mom does not have it.
