Published: Oct. 26, 2010, 10:06 p.m.

Laggy Gary- get this episode up quickly in case the Phillies loose - and they did. Downtown Disney Redevelopment / Demolition - Nautical Theme Coming? - Where do we go for nighttime entertainment? - Welcome to the show Gary!  That is a big lag! - The Hot Dog Hall of Fame… outsourced Redesign. Disney Dining - The Wave of American Flavors @ Disney’s Contemporary. - The dining experience is very confusing and the food very average.  Bar is neat, the dining area looks like an upscale Denny’s.  Service was good though.  Give me a cheeseburger. - Cosmic Rays Cheese Steaks are back and they’re not bad.  They use Cheese Wiz or a melted cheese that looks and tastes like it!  That’s a cheesesteak?? - The Plaza – totally underrated. - Mexico – La Cava del Tequila.  Finger foods and wares are excellent. - Miniature Gift Cards – pop it on your wrist and swipe it around the Food & Wine Festival. - Food & Wine festival.  Food is fantastic as is the Party For The Senses. Favorite Epcot Pavilion - Gary likes the United Kingdom/Rose & Crown – Fish & Chips.  Mel likes Japan – Dining and Sushi.  Who is the candy lady?  John likes the Land – Soarin’ and Living With The Land – disappointed in the new ending of Spaceship Earth.  Ian likes Mexico.  Pictures himself living there in the attraction. It all comes back to the Dining Plan - Italy, Mexico, Le Cellier - Buffalo Wild Wings and ESPN Club.  Chicken Dingers. Bus Incident caught on Video @ Disney Studios.   - Guest allegedly threw his baby at the bus driver and attempted to strangle him. Duffy Redux - The great Duffy Conspiracy - Duffy never stopped being sold.  Only recently pulled him, gave him clothes and rebranded him Duffy. - Ian thinks it’s an epic fail.  John pointed out he never saw more than 4-5 people in line for Duffy. Shopping - Has become very vanilla and bland. - We want to spend money but we’ve all cut back. - Ian once bought so much he had to ship it home. We’ve been having a GREAT TIME despite the Cranky-ness - Despite picking on a few things, we all were enjoying our time there.  Things are in great shape, attendance in high, resorts & rooms are nice.  Love the Tronorail.  Cast Members are FANTASTIC! - The Contemporary Grounds coffee is GOOD! Bay Lake Towers - Touring the property.  Ian already owns DVC there. - The lost INSIDER tapes – our favorite resorts segment got erased next week. - John likes the refurbished Contemporary Rooms.  Mickey head subtle pattern in the couch. - Ian has a brick – not the ones John and Mel thought though located in back of the Contemporary. - It IS called Top of the World – Ian was wrong. - John sees matching towers eventually – to make it look less out of place. The Inferno Barge Guy & his bunker - Mel wishes he was unemployed (she doesn’t like Illuminations in the Reflections of Earth incarnation. - Gary says Mel wants lasers Ian gets NLCS tickets – to see the Phillies loose. That’s a wrap live from the Contemporary Resort.
