I loved the HDDMR. I’m thinking of trying the luau this year.
HDDMR is the best!!!
JoAnn — Let me know what you think!
Keith — I love it!
Would have loved to hear about the Germany (Epcot) dinner show. (‘Cause the two times we’ve gone we went too late and the show had concluded.)
@Marc – My family and I loved Biergarten in Germany. Good food, good (liter sized) beer plus lively entertainment = a winner in my opinion. A word of caution, unless you have a large party you will be seated with other guests. No problem for us as we enjoy talking with others. We found out we were “neighbors” (i.e. we’re from the same state)with the family seated with us.
So glad to hear the positive review of HDDMR! We’re going for the first time on Valetine’s Day. I loved to hear that it’s bottomless beer! Great podcast! You’ve helped me plan out my ADRs.
Marc — Epcot’s Biergarten is great! We’ll have to do a show on what we call “entertainment” restaurants, like Biergarten, Sci-Fi, ‘Ohana, etc. The show here is cute, and the musicians are very talented! It’s worth timing your visit to see it.
Jon — Thanks for sharing your review!
Chris — YAY! Have SO much fun.
We had dinner at EPCOT’s Germany just before Christmas. The kids got up and danced. The band leader told them a Christmas tale. I got to eat great food. A perfect night.
I am trying to download via itunes all the episodes to listen to but where are episodes 1 and 2
2 Questions: What foods are basically the same throughout WDW (or IRL, like popcorn)? So we don’t splurge or take time getting something somewhere, when we could get it cheaper or in a more relaxed/pleasant setting elsewhere?
Related: are there things (foods, places, etc.) that we should avoid — for whatever reason?
