Whispering Canyon?

[westjones]

Do the CMs act silly during breakfast?

Or is this only during dinner.

I think my kids would get a kick out of it, but we will probably be at the parks at supper time. We are staying at Wilderness Lodge and could stop there for breakfast.

Thanks,
DJ

We went there for my DS's birthday last November for breakfast. I was actually hoping for the opposite -- I wanted it to be silly but not too outlandish. My DS tends to be shy in some situations. Our server was wonderful and paid my DS lots of attention without being too crazy. I noticed some other waitstaff being a little more outgoing. I had heard that this might be the mellow meal of the day. If you are looking for the outlandish waitstaff, you might want to request that you be seated in the area with a female waitress. I have heard that they tend to get more into it. Good luck!

Thanks! Actually we are rather quiet as a family, but my kids would have fun watching the silliness from 'afar'. We are going to give it a try anyway since we are staying at the resort.

There is no way to watch it from afar. They will bring it to your table and trust they will do everything in their power to engage you in their madness. Don't ask for ketchup or you will really be involved.

We just had breakfast there (again) and heres what we saw....

CM grabbed the phone from a guest and chatted with her mom.

CM shouted for everyone to shut up because a dad was on the phone again.

Pony Race.

Calls for ketchup and jelly.

Cms shouting to guests by name that their credit cards worked....

A great time was had by all.

Sounds like fun! Can't wait to go!

I would have to second the opinion of those who say that breakfast is the more mellow time of day. We ate there twice for breakfast and once for dinner on our trip this past February. While there were some shananigans in the morning they paled in comparison to what goes on at night. Both are fun but dinner is far more raucous from our experience. Have a great time!

Hearing everyone's comments.........fun activity with CM's, and Now I remember my bro-in-law and sis-in-law talking about the ketchup episode, etc. my DH chose to eat here for our one big breakfast meal on our trip rather than the Kona Cafe. Darn, I was looking forward to the Tonga toast, but he opted for the all-you-can-eat skillet. ha ha big guy w/ big appetite. Trust me, I get more choosing decisions than this one for him. heee heee
can't wait. not sure if my ds17 will enjoy the atmosphere. we will just have to wait and see.

We went on 2 diff nights - once for appetizers, once for dinner. DH enjoyed the appetizers more than his dinner.
This Oct he's willing to try brkfst and/or lunch

I thought I wouldn't like WC at all and I loved it!!!! We had breakfast and dinner there. The food is very good quality and the antics really add to the meal. It's not too much... just right.

I am planning on having dinner here our first night, what happens when you ask for ketchup?

You get ketchup!

I haven't been there yet, but I saw this on Great Hotel's Wilderness Lodge episode (which is on today, 3/23, at 3:00 pm EST on the Travel Channel, if anyone wants to see Whispering Canyon).

If someone asks for ketchup, the server starts yelling:

KETCHUP!!!!

and other servers all start coming over putting several bottles of ketcup on the table.

If you get a chance to see this show today you will have a better idea of what to expect at this restaurant. That is where I first saw it and thought it would be fun to take the kids.

Why this place is called "Whispering" anything is way beyond me. There is NOTHING whispering about the place. The servers "galloped" their tray jacks along the wooden floor and it sounded like stampedeing buffalos.

The CM came on the microphone and said "Sorry Mr. Brown, Your credit card was denied!"

When I returned from the restroom, again over the microphone, a CM asked me if I had remembered to wash my hands. I responded "Yes" and he said "Prove it! What color was the soap?" Thank God I remembered it was blue!

They had all the men in the place stand up form a circle and sing "I'm a Little Tea Pot". This was histerical!!

A request for ketchup was made and the child requesting was given over 20 bottles. My SIL asked for a straw and the server threw about 50 straws AT him.

I think the food was pretty good, it's kinda hard to remember the food after all tha antics going on!!! We really had a blast, but I left witha HUGE headache!!! My mother in law left about 1/2 way through the meal, cause she couldn't stand it!! That was kinda nice. LOL!!! Just kidding I REALLY love my MIL!!!
