There are no Sloppy Joes to be found anywhere at Disneyland(although, I once saw a Maid Rite).............is this also true of WDW?

Frankly, I would like to know more about the Sloppy Joe issue. I would love to see them sold at WDW. Not that I would order one. Hell no! Much too sloppy for my tastes. But it would be nice to know that door was always open for me should I change my mind. Not that I ever would.

If Disney could only design a Sloppy Joe without the Sloppy part then everything would be fine. Certainly, the technology exists. I think even GD would agree with me on that point and that guy is all about technology (and fiber). Let's get the WED boys on it! I am thinking of something like a Mildly Disheveled Joe, or a Inconsiderate Joe -- the latter being particularly desirable because it would still be "sloppy" though only in its manners. So what do you think?

Here is a recipe for an Inconsiderate Joe:

2 lb. hamburger
1 sm. onion
1 jar of not holding the door.
1 can of not calling when you stay out late.
Brown hamburger and onion. Drain. Add soup and sloppy joe mix. Simmer 1 hour. Serves two when there are four at the table.

A Maid-Rite at Disneyland?! They aren't still available there, are they?

Here's my question, BDK:

Al Lutz's most recent article says that the name of Disney's California Adventure will be changed by the end of the decade. The Company doesn't like it for two reasons: 1) It's got the worst brand identity since New Coke; and 2) it's a clunky name that NO ONE uses. Rather, everyone on earth calls the place "DCA."

So I was wondering if there are any theme parks at Walt Disney World that are generally not called by their proper names, or part of their proper names. (I've often heard The Disney-MGM Studio Park referred to as "MGM," but that IS part of the actual name.)

So the only candidate I can think of is Animal Kingdom. Do people generally call it Animal Kingdom, or is it most often referred to as "DAK?"

This inquiring mind wants to know.

I've never called it anything but Animal Kingdom, and if people called it D-A-K, I'd have to think really hard about what they were saying. (I'm assuming you're asking if they call it by those three letters, not a word that sounds like a cat with a hairball.)

One thing with WDW vs DL - because such a large percentage of the guest population at WDW is there on vacation - and didn't spend the previous night in their own beds, I don't think it's as inclined to get the acronym/other shorthand experience as DL.

I've always heard ppl refer to the Animal Kingdom as DAK. I hate how Disney just loves to tack on the Disney name whereever they can. I think its gawdy on most things...I don't understand why in the world that Disney couldn't have just called it The Animal Kingdom instead of Disney getting cocky and naming it DAK. I also hate the slogan Nahtasu. cause by God its a freakin' zoo! Its actually a hybrid of a zoo/theme park park. I call it a Zheme Park?

Anyways...I think that DAK is clearly our faultering park There are only two good rides and a great show. But the scenery is AMAZING. Thats the only reason I use a day of my vacation to go there.

Also, Disney/MGM Studios often gets to referred to as MGM just because its a quick way to say it. Ppl will have to stop referring to it like that soon though. Disney has already taken the name out of the DVD planning video, and the MGM part of it will soon become obsolete when the contract runs out.

I wonder if Disney will try to sign with a different movie company? Who knows?

Hope this helps you out iSm!

I was amused by these sequential posts. Reminds me of when I insisted that there were no Black-Tie weddings in Southern California

Bingo!

Regarding Coral Reef - I wasn't OVERLY impressed with it food-wise. It was good, but I'm not sure it's worth 2 credits, but it was quite a while ago. I won't qualify it as 'gross' by any stretch, though, either. Looking at the 2 credit restaurants, it's probably your best bet for the two little ones.

BigDaddyKyle · 08-18-2005, 07:12 AM

I believe so, but I couldn't be for sure on that. I haven't went around looking for one.

If you want to check out the food offerings at WDW, there's no better site than allearsnet. In addition to being a generally terrific WDW general planning site, there's a constantly updated feature listing all of the menus for all of the restaurants in the resort at http://allearsnet.com/menu/menus.htm

If you know that you only have a couple of nights to splurge on fancy meals, Deb's site is the best way to narrow down your selections.
