French Market/HMH promotion (food and coin)

[innerSpaceman]

I actually thought the Mayor's bowtie lasagna was not bad, and my veggies were cooked just fine.

That said, I think the coin is even stupider (um, more stupid) than the patch. At least you could potentially sew the patch on something. What can you do with a coin, except throw it in a box somewhere never to be seen again? But I'm glad they gave me the coin despite my discounted AP price bringing the total to just under $30. By the way, we couldn't help but notice that prices had been jacked so high as to completely negate the new 15% AP discount. What a crock! And an especially despicable disservice to day guests.

What really irked us about the French Market HMH tie-in this year was that they give you a cute Lock, Shock & Barrell bathtub - - but are too lazy to serve your food in it. It even has a removable tray that would allow you to save the tub in pristine condition after eating out of it, but they simply hand it to you wrapped in a plastic sack. How utterly unimaginative!

Spoiler:

Oh, but I did like the new touches to the attraction this year, and am not one who thinks they have to make a big deal of it every season. In addition to the great ballroom centerpiece, the pumpkin-head knight at the endless hallway, and the improved Zero-pulled sleigh projection at the exit ramp ... there's also a neat, spiderweb-design hardwood floor in the entry foyer. Subtle stuff, but nice.
