Enjoying the restaurant reviews on the podcasts

[LoveMMC]

Love hearing the podcast teams dining reviews. So entertaining.

Me too - even impromptu ones! Great stuff!

I agree. It's great to have that as a regular feature.

I'll repeat the one suggestion I've made elsewhere and that is to start including counter service meals, too. Unlike most theme/amusement parks, Disney has some really good (and some not so good) counter service food. I think it would be really useful to the audience if the team would start reviewing the CS locations. With team members in the parks every day now, surely they aren't eating all TS meals.

I like most things that they hate, but it's undeniably entertaining!

RE: counter service. They seem to be doing that on their daily park trips. Would be cool to do a rundown from the previous week's QS reports.

Its absolutely entertainment to me more so than an actual review. I mean, when they so often say items are "bad" I begin to question the intent of the segment.

I'm not sure what you mean. I haven't heard anything on the show about counter service. Are they being posted somewhere else?

They do it on twitter only:

ETA: Maybe on facebook too? (I don't go to facebook that often these days)

I used to think that because it seemed like they never liked anything, but lately, they've been giving some really glowing reviews. This week with Narcoose's, for example, they had a lot of good things to say about the food, although they didn't think it was worth $70 (which I have no doubt I'd agree with as that price is insane).

I listen to the podcast religiously. I don't have time to also find their content on Twitter and Facebook and YouTube and Instagram and anywhere else.

I hope they'll consider doing counter service reviews on the show. I think it would benefit a lot more people than the table service reviews. I enjoy the TS info though it isn't relevant to us personally since we don't do TS meals at Disney.

Yea that's what I meant. They could give a rundown on the Tuesday show of all the different QS stuff they had in the previous week. Too many social media things to be following everything at once!

When we are in the parks we post pictures to Facebook, Twitter, and we do a Periscope video or two. We all typically post either on Facebook or Twitter what we had for lunch at the quick service restaurant. It is only a sentence or two. Ryno and JL have done a short video or two. The same people are not always on the show to do a recap. Many people find following along on Facebook and Twitter enjoyable while we are in the parks.

Ryno and Steve just posted a video today of them eating in World Showcase and going to club cool. They got some food at the booths and talked about it.

The podcasts have been unbelievably entertaining lately. Hitting it out of the park every freaking week.

Yep, been totally enjoying all the mini-reviews lately! (Sorry Dr. Steve)

No problem. I'm glad people are enjoying their content. I wish I had time to sit and watch it all. The main time I can listen is in the car, so anything on the podcast I suck right up, but YouTube content is really not an option for me.

I see them hit & miss. I'd love to be able to find a spot to access all of them on demand (archived) so I could binge eg on the weekends. Craig, if you are bored (and like that's ever going to happen with your wild schedule! But maybe a work project for the new DIS staffer soon to come on board) pls find a simple, obvious spot to put these & pls make them easy to binge for DIS'rs so the content isn't lost in space. At lunch today, I watched JL & Craig's mini review of AK's Harambe Market. Loved the review. My personal experience of Harambe is not so great because of the crowds, limited seating & no shade (even in Nov). However, great to see the review & it might entice me back for another try.
