News Round Up 2017

A buffet breakfast there I'd love but it's mine and my husband special most special place as it is where he proposed and I want it to remain a signature dining location

I had seen some rumblings of this yesterday but most assumed it to be a glitch with the app/website since the price info was incomplete, but now the DIS is reporting that California Grill is changing to a buffet system - not sure how I feel about it

Yeah this is... interesting...

This is 2nd hand info coming from me, but a friend of mine called the Cali Grill and was told directly by them that they are not going to a buffet, and that the menu posted is an early draft of the NYE plans.

Yeah this is... interesting...

A lot of cities have restaurants featuring really high-end buffets - heck, the Palo brunch on DCL is one of most highly thought of Disney dining experiences - so it could work/be interesting ... I'll definitely wait for reviews (assuming it does come to fruition)

I had a friend on the last ride on Ellen's - and it broke down. So they got to get off and the CMs let them take pictures and almost have like a walk through of the ride.

It broke down in the dinosaur room.

Seems like a fun way to go out!

...somehow fitting

 

[lockedoutlogic]

What? Less of a value because they closed Universe of Energy? A ride that barely anyone even bothered with until it was announced that it would be closing?

No...the aggregate ride capacities...not to mention a closed pavilion and one that was basically destroyed and has sat that way for 17 years.

Not to mention more people due to attendance inflation.

Look at the WHOLE picture.

I'd be heart broken if California Grill went to a buffet

Honestly...it hasn't been nearly as good since the last redo 3 or so years ago...and the menu was of course at its height around 2000 or so...like most.

So what does it really matter? We would miss not as good, more expensive food?

It was an emotional day.

The cars just didn't have the energy to continue.

I blame Stupid Judy

Looks like the DIS has updated their story indicating it is a glitch based on a tweet front disney (calls to clarify have not been returned) - although the tweet just says their are issues with pricing on the website, doesn't directly address this potential menu change

When the outer flaps on your ears are closed for safety?

If I'm at WDW with a gentleman, my ears are always closed. It seems to work better that way.

Anyone else think this was planned? Apparently it was mostly CMs and former CMs.

Well if you're at wdw with a "gentlemen"...he's probably wearing some kind of 3rd grade issue tshirt and won't shut up...so I agree with the defensive ear alignment there

Knowing me, until I convert him, he'll be banging on about corporate America, or waxing philosophic about original animation, until we spend a couple of hours in WS, or the Dawa bar.

Happy that CG will remain a regular restaurant though. WDW needs more buffets like I need...something I have a lot of - shoes, dresses or makeup. Regardless, WDW does not need another ever-lovin' buffet.

You know...I can't even possible imagine why they like buffets...

They must really take a bath on those, huh?
