Geez - river cruises are already expensive. What is ABD going to charge for River Cruises - $8000 per person?

Regardless of the outrageous prices, it looks like a pretty cool spot. If nothing else, looking forward to a beer or two at the waterfront bar.

It will be interesting to see how many $153 steaks are flying off the shelves to cash guests...

It doesn't look very vegetarian friendly, but I still definitely want to check it out for at least a drink. I love the look of it!

For $153 that steak had better be flying. At that price I want some entertainment!

Missed it by a few days...

But honestly...I have zero desire for more "premium" dining...

I can't quite put my finger on who's fault it is...but I seem
To feel like things that used to provide good quality food at a moderate price have all but gone away...

Hmmmm...

Since I'm always explaining my "hate" for wdw...I can give an example here... As my spending habits continue to evolve...

Now I tend to skip the entrees entirely...as two appetizers seem to be - even at outrageous rates - a better taste offering than the standard entrees at 3-4 times the rate.

...they do get a little more outta me on alcohol though...the martinis at brown derby did some damage...but the food bill did not.

The times...they are a changin'

Looks like the boathouse is a skip...I just don't see them being dedicated enough to provide a good experience anywhere in the same sphere as the pricing as it stands.

That's all I ask...not discount or no upcharge...general category...that should be the minimum of any consumer.

New Shops & Restaurants Coming to The Landing as The Boathouse Prepares to Open April 13th in Disney Springs

http://wdwnt.com/blog/2015/04/new-s...repares-to-open-april-13th-in-disney-springs/

Again...very YAWN

Why didnt they just put the mall of millennia on a big truck and move it down I-4?

They could use the old space shuttle crawlers...


Duh...dumb question by me - that would mean that the mall would see UOR on the drive and might want to stop to ride Hulk...

What was I Thinking?
