Whispering Canyon and WL (long)

[Disney Chick2]

I have to let you know we went there on New Year's Eve. We made it there after going to Fort Wilderness instead of WL in the rain and taking a bus. We all arrived wet but still happy to be there. 15 of us arrived.. Most of us had the all you can eat for 22.99. I didn't find it earth shattering. It was OK. The best part was the Pulled Pork. The problem we did have is that they ran out of ribs. (All you can eat?) the waitress told us they "were out is was New years eve you know" 15y/0 kids want ribs. End of story. I thought this isn't the Disney answer I wanted to hear.
Then trying to leave in the horrible rain, we went to Valet and after a 45min wait the let us know they lost our Keys. We were still in good spirits and laughing. The manager Jeff came out and profusly apologized. We also told him about our dinner experience. They gave us a ride to our Hotel in a Disney van and told us to come back in the am in a taxi and of course they would pay for it. They would have the keys by then. We went in the AM and of course they found the keys. Jeff was there again and very, very nice. He then comped us for our dinner that evening for the 5 of us. Now that was a Disney answer. I was impressed and I just want to let everyone know the spirit is still alive there although slow for some. All in all our trip was wonderful. We spent the money at Fulton's Crab house and couldn't have asked for a better meal or service. Thomas was our service and he was fantastic!

Pretty cool. We were at WDW during New Year's, and, oddly enough, it seemed that the treatment we got from the CM's across the board was uniformly cheery and helpful, and this in an unbelievably busy time of the year.

Thanks for the pixie dust account!

Sorry to hear but glad it worked out for the better in the end.It really rained hard that night all over Central Florida.We were over on the coast and was going to head to the VB resort.Drove about a 1/2 mile and turned around it was so bad.Spent the evening indoors.Ate lunch and breakfast there during the last stay.Imho WC has went downhill a bit since they closed the onsite Smokehouse down.Talked to one of the Chefs. He said the meats are now sent from Ft Wilderness also AP now uses mini smokers in their kitchen.The smokehouse is still there and he hopes they will reopen it soon.Maybe if enough complain.On the other hand,we had fun at Breakfast.There was a middle aged couple sitting behind us who had just got hitched on Xmas Eve Their family was having a blast and of course DW had to ask for the ketchup.
Ketchup. Who needs Ketchup?LOL
