Which is also why I agonized so much over the dining plan upgrade. 
But it's cool now. I've reached the acceptance point in the grieving process. 
It's good but since we eat out a lot, it's good but not spectacular food-wise. Atmosphere is definitely very unique and great
Mind you, I have not gone for 4 years and DH was spoiled by Las Vegas and Chicago the same year we went. Might have clouded our judgement. 
I've got two I'd like to move one hour, but they're going to be tough to get. I have a 5:20 at H&V on 12/5...then a F! fp...would like to move that to 4:30 or 5:00 to make sure we have enough time. If not, it's only two adults...I'm sure we can finish a buffet in an hour if we have to.
We almost never eat out here, which is one reason we love the food at WDW!
there's always next time!
Move to Charlottesville...lots of meh here! We do have a few really good pricey places, but the mid-range restaurants are meh. We do have the BEST bagels outside of NYC!!
Let's hope that's just pre-Thanksgiving week craziness, and not the beginning of a trend.
Ohh, I'm glad we actually have quite a bit of good low to mid price places here in Toronto. Lots of places popping up lately too, trying to keep up with New York. LOL! Plus, I can't live without good cheap Asian food so I'll stay here, LOL!
Hello DIS friends!
Back when I was taking my whole family, I know I'd never pay $200+ for a dessert party. For that kind of money, we'd better be having an entire meal, preferably with a giant mouse!!!
I finally have a moment to log in and catch up! On the non Disney front, I've got everything done for DD's class. The program is adorable! Thanksgiving is coming along great too!
It's official, we cancelled our JBJB party for 11/30. I saw the Disney Food Blog post about it, and I knew then it wasn't something I wanted to spend $200+ on. My checking account will be please!
I've got the preliminary stuff packed. I need to do a large Target run today, and then we'll be set!
12 days!
Hey...our last meal is at Cape May! Minnie over Stitch in this house....but I think Ohana does have better food....haven't been to either...just my impression from reading the boards. Besides, I'd prefer the family style at Ohana to the buffet at Cape May. But, alas, it's got to be Minnie Mouse for this group.
Try again...I just got on.Also -- The Disney site is down.
It's crazy! Plus, with DD2 now, there isn't any way she'd do well in a setting like that. The girl is on the move! We'll be watching from afar.
12 more days for us too! It looks like we have similar plans as you.... split stay with YC and AKL!

Yep, I am. Not sure why though. Mentally I've ruled out ROL...but then I heard something about Disney showing it to Execs last night.
I actually am contemplating my Garden Grill CP lunch on 12/5. DH and I agreed to that, but I know he really wanted to do Biergarten or Coral Reef because we'd never been to either of those restaurants. I nixed Coral Reef because it was a little more expensive (and the menu doesn't seem very big) and I nixed Biergarten because I don't think I'll like the food. Now I'm feeling guilty because I've gone a little overboard on this trip and there wasn't much he asked for. I'm contemplating switching to one of those places if I can keep the 5:00 CP show and if it's around noon like our current ADR, and surprising him.
We're eating at BOG that night for dinner so I didn't want food similar to what we'd get there (likely steak..which is what I'd probably get at Coral Reef.)
Touring Plan strikes again!! I swear, it NEVER gets old to snag a stalked ADR! Just got a 3:50 'Ohana dinner for our last day! 
There's a but! lol
(Hmmm...that sounds familiar, like maybe I made a really big deal about being done before??
) I do have a couple extra Yak and Yeti's, completely dependent on what RoL does. I feel hopeful about RoL though. Like everyone, I'm hoping those much-discussed soft openings really ARE right around the corner!! 
That would be a sweet surprise! I read somewhere that Biergarten smells like sauerkraut...I have never been, but that would be a HUGE problem for me. Maybe someone else in the group has experience eating there.Yep, I am. Not sure why though. Mentally I've ruled out ROL...but then I heard something about Disney showing it to Execs last night.
