Two things we have to work on:
1. Sarcasm
2. Your palette

I get #2 from my dad.

 

[lockedoutlogic]

I don't see why they wouldn't have FP. I was never sold on that they would do tiering at AK.

The attendance doesn't warrant it at the current juncture.

 

[jlundeen]

Its served differently at DL.

Grey stuff is my favorite at WDW...

If anyone is interested, I found a recipe for it...not that hard to make.

I got my eyes from my mom...but the rest was bought cheap off eBay

If anyone is interested, I found a recipe for it...not that hard to make.

I would be!

 

[jlundeen]

I would be!

Here ya go...I don't remember where I found it...somewhere on the internet...


"The Grey Stuff"


Ingredients:

1 (3.4 ounce) pkg Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix


1 1/2 cups Whole (or 2%) Milk


15 Oreos (regular, not double-stuffed)


1 (8 ounce) tub Whipped Topping


6 teaspoons Instant Chocolate Pudding Mix


Edible Pearl Sprinkles


Directions:


Mix entire contents of vanilla pudding mix and milk in a large bowl with a whisk. Set in fridge to chill 5 - 10 minutes.


Place Oreos in food processor and blend until they are fine crumbs (no large chunks). If you don't have a food processor, you can place them into a gallon-size freezer bag and smash using a rolling pin. This will take a bit of time, since you'll want to get rid of all large pieces.


Take the pudding from the fridge and mix in the crushed Oreos. The mixture will be dark gray/black. Now, fold in the tub of whipped topping. It now is a lighter color but not quite gray. Finally, mix in 6 teaspoons of the chocolate pudding mix and stir well. You should now have "the grey stuff"! Place back in fridge to chill for at least one hour before serving.


To serve, spoon into a cake decorating bag fitted with a star tip (Wilton 1M) and swirl a dollop onto a dish. Top with a few edible pearl sprinkles. Voila! You're done!

 

[IanDLBZF from MCMagic]

But when?

 

[rteetz]

Awesome thanks!

 

[jlundeen]

Awesome thanks!

You are welcome!

Once not too long after they opened, I was at BOG for dinner and I asked if they still did the Grey Stuff tasting (like they did if you asked for it when they first opened...). The waiter told me it was such a closely guarded secret now that they only had enough to use in the cupcakes...

I mentioned I had the recipe, pulled it up on my phone, and showed it to him...his mouth dropped open, and he just walked away - right to where a bunch of other CMs were standing, and I know he was telling them because they all looked over at our table. Funny...they apparently never knew you could make it at home.

 

[danikoski]

Oh ok...

I think I had that stuff in WDW...and wasn't impressed.

They have updated the grey stuff desert served at dinner, and it's pretty darn good. It's a dark chocolate cookie tart crust, filled with white chocolate mousse, with the cookies and cream whipped cream on top. I ate half for dinner and the other half for breakfast...It tasted great both times although the cookie crust got a little soggy overnight.

That's good to hear...I was actually talking about the whole place...it's not great in my book

We've eaten at BOG dinner 3 or 4 times, and found it only okay - I wouldn't go out of my way to try for a hard to get reservation anymore.

I actually enjoy lunch there more now. The sandwiches are really good, and big enough to split, so one of us gets a big salad, and one gets a sandwich, and we split them. Desserts are pretty lack luster in my mind, but somehow we manage to choke them down...ha ha ha! They also have the option of getting soup instead of dessert on the dining plan.

 

[TheMaxRebo]

I don't see why they wouldn't have FP. I was never sold on that they would do tiering at AK.

Oh yeah, I would have been shocked if they didn't have FP. I was a bit intrigued thinking about it they would add tiering and the fact this is out with no mention of it makes me think they won't so that is why I thought most relevant/interesting

 

[lockedoutlogic]

They will never build anything without fast pass moving forward unless it's a logistical impossibility.

We should find out a little more on Thursday when Whoopi and James Cameron preview Pandora on the View.

 

[Dentam]

I don't know if it's true but I read on the dis there were 15,000 people at the dvc event.

Wow, so considerably more than the After Hours event which is capped at about 3k. Good to know!

Thank you so much for posting this! With the fact that I'm a nanny and love Lin Manuel, I can't wait, oh my goodness.

Photo update

Fantasmic getting a new name, new train path can now be seen, Star Wars continues, and GOTG tower still looks ugly.

http://micechat.com/154051-disneyland-photo-rumor-update-major-fantasmic-halloween-changes/

Didn't know they were already testing Fantasmic 2.0, but it seems like they are already teasing some of the additions. Projecting over moving objects can be quite tricky. I think Intel has been playing with that for a while. Hopefully they'll make it work.

And I'm sure people will miss the original show, but I'm usually very open minded about things changing and evolving.
