The food was far from perfect, but for the first time in a long time,
I thought the situation was getting better. I think someone may
finally be paying attention. One thing that irked me was the tendency
to omit prices. Menus on the outside of counter-service locations in
the Magic Kingdom had no prices and many of the to-go items at Captain
Cook's had no prices. Those of us not on the food plan don't care if
it counts as a snack item, we want to know how much it costs.

w/b 1st October: Several heavy rain showers every day, the pits. They even cancelled the first car
stunt show of the day at MGM (oops, sorry. What are we calling this place now (and sorry Ed)?)
w/b 8th October: Clear blue skies and no rain every day. Oh yeah baby!

Those things are wonderful. I never knew apples could be so juicy.

Agreed. PotC was better too, with the Deppster hiding out at various places.

Yeah, that was a surprise. No-one has fixed it yet, and its a big part of the ride.
