I really enjoyed the holiday storytellers. You could spend a couple of days in World Showcase just taking in the various performers and holiday kitchens.
I think if I were to return at Christmas time again, I'd forego the party and focus on those types of things as well.
If I had have had more time, I think I would have got them all. But I had fun with it and it's a great way to explore the pavilions a bit more.
They do take time, that's for sure.
Upon checking in at the R&C podium, I was told they were running at least 1/2 hr behind and to take a seat somewhere.
That was my experience last time as well. I'll never return there. The food was horrible, the patio seating is garbage and the prices outrageous.
Now if you have ever been to the R&C on the patio, you'll remember there is an awkward three top right as you enter the patio. It's directly across from the servers station and is indisputably the worst table you can get.
I know that table.
Yet, five minutes later the next people in line are led inside to a two top!!!!!!
.... aaaaaaaaaaand that's when I'd have spoken up. Just not okay.
(Strongbow cider with blackcurrant juice).
I'd drink that! Sounds really nice and refreshing.
Could you imagine charging $12.00 (!!!!) for the likes of that salad???
Absolutely NOT!
or the main I went for the Scottish salmon with mashed potatoes and green beans. While the plating was totally uninspired, the salmon was perfectly cooked to medium and the potatoes and beans were well seasoned and piping hot.
At least there was that.
Under the Candlelight Processional package, I had prepaid $62.00 for this meal. Separately priced, it came out to $51.00. It seemed as though most of the package guests were out on the patio with lackluster service and not the best atmosphere.
Totally unacceptable. I do think I'd have spoken with a manager and shared your observations.
I will say the next table in front of me were the sweetest couple who invited me to come and eat with them as they didn't think anyone should be by themselves so close to Christmas. It was very kind of them but I decided to stay at my own table. We had a lovely chat though and I appreciated their warmth and thoughtfulness.
Awww, I love when that happens. How sweet!
Can I just say how much I loved the Skyliner??? Such an awesome way to travel! I was back at Pop with 20 minutes of leaving Epcot
I can't wait to ride it!! Not sure when that'll be, but....
