Funnel cakes are great, one of them can feed four of us and for us they're unique to Disney
Totally off topic, but just struck me as funny. I live in a fairly small town, here in the south, but there are several large weekend flea markets all within 30 minutes to an hour from me. Every single one of them sell funnel cakes and smoked turkey legs. Heck, our local Jack in the Box used to sell a smaller version of the funnel cakes for just .99. Consequently, I have never understood the draw of either at WDW. I can get a funnel cake anytime for $3.50 and a turkey leg for around $6.00 (used to be $5.00). No way would I pay Disney's prices for either.


On the same lines, I saw on another post here on the DIS earlier tonight, where someone from Canada said they loved the Waffle House restaraunts in Florida. Even in my fairly small town, we have two of those and they are never busy. They are considered more a hang out for the local old men to drink coffee and gossip in the mornings.

I don't know anyone that actually eats at either. I have a friend up north in New England who is fascinated by our Sonic car hops that bring your meals out on roller skates. Again we have two here, even in our small town and are just used to them. Some of the car hops may not skate out to the car anymore, but probably 90% of them still do (at least at both of our Sonics). In fact, I saw an ad in the window of the one closest to my house saying they were hiring 'skating' car hops. My friend says they don't have Sonics up north, so always stops for their foot long chili cheese dogs and Route 44 drinks, when he comes across one in his travels.

They're one of his favorite places to eat. Here they are not a big deal. I remember when Doh Bars (deep fried battered Snickers) were first introduced at Cookes of Dublin in DTD. Here on the DIS every one went ga ga over them. At the time, I thought what the heck, us southners will deep fry anything and have been eating deep fried candy bars and deep fried oreos for years. They are at all the fairs and flea markets around here. lol
Like you when I'm at Disney I want to try things that remind me of being uniquely Disney. It's just funny what those things may be to different people who live in different areas.
