Fingers crossed is a "fancy" burger and not just another 1/3lb patty on a bun. My kid is very hopeful for a non fancy burger too. Some restaurants at Disney do a great job of making Burgers not so boring, While others are not as great. I really hope they do have some sort of Polynesian flair. I'll probably be stalking the menu daily until it gets added LOL |

They introduced the new Chef in the information provided for the newest Sweepstakes from DVC .
Along with other talented artists for the new Poly Island Tower amenities .
I actually enjoyed watching all those to get multiple entries .
I wonder if I can enter sweepstakes more than once to watch again ?
….I wonder if Cake Bake Shop has hamburger on the menu ?

….I wonder if Cake Bake Shop has hamburger on the menu ? I didn't explicitly look for that when we wandered by recently, but the menu was quote extensive and I can't imagine that they would not have a burger.
Looking at the menu online, to do...at $26.99!
Cheers.

And direct from the Disney website.....
Stake your claim at a poolside eatery featuring explorer-worthy bites, trails-end spirits and stunning views of Bay Lake.
Feast al fresco with delectable bites to grab ‘n’ go while enjoying the Resort’s rustic beauty. Nestled in the heart of Disney’s Wilderness Lodge, this scenic outpost boasts a walk-up window for dining from the comfort of your lounge chair or at a table on the restaurant’s spacious outdoor deck.
The doesn't sound very Table Service like to me. I get what Disney did, the added a TS label to charge more with using your dining credits. Shameful really.

I think you have to realize not all TS* allows for ADRs  They offer walk up options to wait just like every other table service out there. It can be full. When you go there, you get seated. A staff member comes and takes your order and then they bring you your food. Though at the bar the staff seats you and then the bartender gets your order. I'd argue it isn't poolside bar either because you have to exit the pools (both) to get to it. I love it there, but they made a distinction this year and did pricing to go with it. To be fair the website is often wrong. The info on the Main Pool at Polynesian is out of date and references a name they no longer use as an example. The description for Geyser Point leaves out how it really works. While we do grab and go at Geyser Point - it's same as grabbing to go at Kona Cafe. Which is also TS*. I have never tried to do a to-go order in person, always via app at both places. Just being real here that not all places are run exactly the same. Geyser Point is a neat mix of a bar with a walk up TS* option. I mentioned Three Bridges for a reason too - bar & grill that is run differently than most. They also seat you and come to your table to take your order. *"Table service in the restaurant industry simply means that a customer's dining experience is led by a server. The server takes the order, sends it to the kitchen, and serves it to the guest when it's ready." |

It's $26 there... As long as the food is decent I don't mind paying. I will say coming from a real kitchen that is supposed to be state of the art I expect somewhat better than standard pool bar QS stuff. |

So I've been tracking and since the OC Comptroller site today is not liking me. I haven't double-checked but we came to a close of 1 month of contracts being recorded (which is how DVC news does the math). VGF2 sold 115,999 in its first month of recordings. PVB IT sold 119,865 if my numbers are correct. I'm done watching this though. DVC news only counted the first 2 weeks and I wanted a month to be like for like. I'll double-check numbers maybe next week when my life isn't so hectic and the OC Comptroller doesn't keep trying to slow me down with "are you human" tests.
We added 1 more fixed week today
Week 44: a Studio Theme Park View
talk about point hogs as it is 250 points for that.
I probably should shut up though because I booked a 2 bed 7 nights for 560 points in May/June lol With the 1 bed having 2 baths unless we hate it this March, that might be more of our standard. If the views hold too for Preferred vs Standard, we'll go for standard over preferred as well possibly.

I had one at Cosmic Ray's I was really happy with, believe it or not.
Actually it might have been the spicy chicken they were doing a few years back with the kimchi-inspired slaw and the spicy garlic aioli, I was lovin it. I think I made my wife go there like three times that trip. Luckily she was grooving their Greek salad, which they offered with crispy chicken at that time. Now it is grilled and she won't get it.
