Some thoughts 2 weeks in (multiple trips around the World Showcase food kiosks, 4 culinary demonstrations, 3 mixology/beer)…
Problems with the food kiosks – seems like some of the cast members really don’t know or understand food. It’s a bit depressing because there is such potential for freshly prepared street food. Also, there isn’t much standardization of portion control in terms of how the food is being served.
Problems with the culinary demonstrations – like last year, the recipes don’t match what we’re served or what is prepared on stage. Some of the cast members seem very uncomfortable with the service – not sure why, but it does detract from the experience.
Problems with the cocktails – the ice just melts and waters down the drinks, causes them to separate. After two mixology seminars – the cocktails without ice are much more palatable.
Problems with the presenters – Disney is in the entertainment business and some of these people are most definitely not entertaining. Somebody ought to be auditioning these presenters – by video if nothing else. Seems like a lot of the presenters are just rushing through their presentations.
