A humorous look at what we'd do if we invaded WDW

Do Not Want

 

[Swayhoover90]

No, no, no - I love NC, all of it and it's plenty friendly, but these are the things I've noticed that are contrary to the overall awesome people, places and things in NC. (I live in the Triangle)

Being served spread instead of butter for biscuits, toast and bagels is ridiculous. Even if I ask for butter, they don't have it. I can't figure out if it's just a way to save money or if it's a food safety issue. (Spread lasts longer without refrigeration, perhaps?)

The Dog House franks are terrible if you're used to Nathans, Hebrew National and Sabretts. Yet, some people love them. Their concept is great - love the doghouse-shaped walkup shops. The dogs fall short unless you grew up with them.

But the cashiers really don't say "thank you" or "you're welcome" unless it's at a chain store that does mystery shopping. If I take my change at Food Lion and say "Thank you." I get a "uhhuh" dismissal. It must be a southern thing.

BTW, "bless your heart" is a usually used as a veiled insult that roughly translates to "you're a moron." I hate it when people say that to me now that I found that out. (Thanks to the retiring southern columnist of the News & Observer.)


You can get good NY-style pizza in NC, but you have to avoid the places that CLAIM to have "Real NY Pizza." Those usually fall short because they're run by people who never MADE pizza in NY, so they don't know any better. The Triangle area has some outstanding pizza places run by greeks, just like in NYC, lol.

Most pizza places outside of NYC use pre-packaged sauce and cilantro, which changes the taste entirely, plus they cheap out on the cheese and don't use freshly shredded mozzarella. If there's no string, it's not made entirely of milk. The crust is always difficult because the water used in NYC is from our upstate reservoirs. Outside NYC, you have to use bottled water to get the right mix of minerals and hard/soft ratio. Makes a big difference.

I must jump in the hot dog fray!

WilsonFlyer and I have known each other since childhood and I know we may disagree on this...here in Wilson we have a famous hot dog joint which is run by a great family. I won't mention the name of the restaurant because they are a great family and the restaurant is loved by many, many Wilsonians. But the hot dogs in my opinion are horrible!

If you live or are ever in Raleigh, head over to Cloo's Coney Island in Mission Valley (near NC State). They have the BEST hot dogs! It is a Detroit style chili and dog with a natural casing (SNAP!).

23. Dole Whips are out...SunDrop Whips are in!

I tell you what!

If you 'federates take the Yanks Dole Whip, theres a'gonna be a lot of hollerin' and I don't mean over at Hoop D Do!

This time WE'LL secede and take WDW with us up north and put it in the Berkshires. Point charts will only have 2 seasons. One for Northerners and foreigners and the other season for the 'federates... at 3x the points!

Now....do you really want to take MY Dole Whip?? Do what you want with the rest of the items but DON'T TOUCH the Dole Whip.

Great thread and thanks for the laughs.

BTW: What's a SunDrop? It can't be better than Dole Whip. Can it?

Hi! Sundrop is a soft drink. It is similiar to Mountain Dew.

NOTHING is better than a Dole Whip!

 

[stichy]

You know what is better than a Sundrop? A cherry lemon sundrop. Fountain sundrop with cherry syrup and a squeezed lemon. Yum.

I totally agree....There is a local hamburger chain called What a Burger that has the best CLSDs around. Once you have had one made the old fashioned way the canned ones just do not quiet make it. They will do when you are in a pinch but otherwise are the second string.

Your original list has me cracking up! Tweetsie gone bad! Hilarious! But, if you really want to have a NC take over of WDW you have got to allow smoking in all the restaurants and attractions! And maybe change DTD to Concord Mills South. Lived in Charlotte for 6 years, still miss it. But, I have to say that the BBQ is WAY better down here in central Georgia. (OK, I'm ready for the slams!)

Actually, even we don't have smoking in restaurants anymore. In fact no smoking at any indoor work place with a very few exceptions.

Now...BBQ...hmmmm...so they have BBQ in Central Georgia? I'm interested. What style? What part of Georgia?

 

[Who's your Mickey?]

Will the Jungle Cruise boats be replaced by bass boats with trawling motors????

 

[Luna_Lovegood]

I always have to pack the Sun Drop when we head to WDW. I didn't realize they had it in NC. Wouldn't it be great if that were one of the fountain options for refillable mugs? I'd be bloated and miserable after the 15th refill, no doubt, but otherwise, incredibly happy!

Well, that's good to know! They still allow smoking in Alabama restaurants which we are right next too. No Waffle House visits over there if you value your lungs!

BBQ is king here in central Georgia. We live in Columbus (central west Georgia) and smoked, chopped pork butt is the favored choice but there is good beef, turkey, ham and chicken to be found as well. There are literally dozens of BBQ shacks here, all with their secret recipes and specialties. It is served dry with a choice of sauces, tomato or mustard based. Of course, Brunswick stew originated in Georgia (or so they claim!). I've had lots of barbeque from all over the country and I have to say that I like what we have here the best!

 

[AirGoofy]

say "Bless your heart".

Because as long as you add that phrase, it makes everything is so bad.

He's as dumb as ... Bless his heart.

Also, don't take away my Mickey Rice Krispie treat heads for Moonpies. THe best meal at WDW - Mickey Rice Krispie treat with Pineapple/Vanilla swirl Dole Whip.

That's odd. Must be a county-by-county thing, because smoking is banned in all restaurants and, I believe, all public buildings in our county (North AL). Funny thing, though: even though no one can smoke, the Waffle House still smells like cigarettes when you walk in!

They are still puffing away in Phenix City. North AL seems to be a little ahead of the curve compared to central AL. I agree that the older WH's need to be scrubbed out, that smell just lingers!

Sounds yummy!!

Take Over To-Do List


10. The next DVC resort...The Villas at Hank's Trailer Park. A two bedroom mobile home will cost you 2 points per night Sunday through Thursday, 4 points on Friday and 6 on Saturday. Maintenance fees would be $9.32 per point due to yard upkeep and hurricanes.

I nearly wet my pants!
