Subscribing to your thread, Brenda!!!
This is, bar none, one of the (if not *the*) BESTEST food report EVAH!! I'm killing myself laughing at your descriptions of what happened... Please, don't ever think you need to be brief - I'm enjoying your non-brevity far too much!!
(I'm also recognizing a lot of my trip last August in your report - DH and I went to WDW with my mom and stepfather, and the thinning lips, heaving sighs and general pickiness of your mom are very familliar. Example: We went to eat at Le Cellier for lunch - hee, sorry to rub it in - and we got a table in a far corner, pretty dark. Mom was in a rather itchy-with-a-b mood because I had not-so-subtly called her to the carpet for constantly wanting to switch tables at every TS restaurant...
She was visibly displeased with the table and when the greeter started explaining that we were in the "Northwest Territory" secton, she said in one of the snarkiest voices I've ever heard her use "Yeah, we can tell". (It's a remote northern territory of Canada) The poor greeter's eyes welled up with tears and she mumbled "enjoy your meal" and moved over... When I told her it was uncalled for, she said "There's no pleasing you - I didn't ask to switch tables, did I??"
Mom is normally a pretty frickin' terrific person, if I do say so myself, but after that week I was ready to commit matricide... )
I also forwarded this link to my friend with crohn's. She also loves WDW, so I'm sure she's going to read your report with great interest!!
