Other aquariums in the world caught up and then went beyond Disney's offering.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02465912785343019825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2228174552203445896.post-59691397136276317392009-07-28T21:50:40.329-04:002009-07-28T21:50:40.329-04:00Thanks for reading, everyone!

I'd love to see a Seas pavilion that matches WED's original vision, and that's the only logical way that it could even be attempted without tearing the building down and constructing a new one.David Landonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12909440700102911571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2228174552203445896.post-41827390092181217132009-07-24T14:04:04.194-04:002009-07-24T14:04:04.194-04:00Here's a radical idea...

As a compromise, Mr Ray can take guests on a journey through the oceans in their Omnimover "bubbles" before leaving them at Seabase Alpha. But create an attraction that can appeal to adults as well as children and one that is consistent with the original vision of EPCOT Center.Omnispacenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2228174552203445896.post-87129672670003385412009-07-22T16:58:36.068-04:002009-07-22T16:58:36.068-04:00The only time we ate at the Coral Reef, my wife wa...The only time we ate at the Coral Reef, my wife was coming down with a virus that pretty much lasted our entire vacation (spiking 103 degree temps about every 6 hours - you could set your watch by her) and so she didn't hardly touch her meal, and I was so concerned about her I don't remember anything about mine. I recall enjoying the setting, and I recall that our service was good. I don't know about the price, because we were on DDP that time, and it was before they downsized it to the current version. I recall giving an extra tip... Now San Angel - only eaten at it once, but I've gotten far better Mexican fare at local places (of course, they're owned and staffed by Mexicans...) for far less money...Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12409785011989904117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2228174552203445896.post-5251124246106279872009-07-22T14:03:49.743-04:002009-07-22T14:03:49.743-04:00I've never eaten at the Coral Reef, but I ate ...I've never eaten at the Coral Reef, but I ate at a similarly themed restaurant at Sea World (shark tank and all). The hostess arranged for us to have a table by the table before the restaurant opened. The food (salmon off the kids' menu - I wasn't that hungry) was great. Our meal was even interrupted by a fire alarm and we still had a great time. The chef came over, apologized, and warmed our food back up after we got back to our table.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2228174552203445896.post-41927724323444248322009-07-22T11:47:42.111-04:002009-07-22T11:47:42.111-04:00THANK YOU!

To compound the problem, it's extremely expensive. We went a few years ago, as I thought maybe I had misremembered my previous trip. No dice. I made a specific mental note to stay away, especially when there are other fantastic restaurants in the park. I will say, though, that I've noticed a marked improvement at San Angel in recent years...Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02465912785343019825noreply@blogger.com
