C'mon, you wouldn't hold still so your grandma could hit you with a broom? I mean she is a grandmother and therefore almost saintly.

C'mon, you wouldn't hold still so your grandma could hit you with a broom? I mean she is a grandmother and therefore almost saintly.
For some reason, my wife decided to paint my grandmother's nails one evening while we were at her house visiting. When we were done, my grandma held up her hands and fired back with, "Look, I'm 20." Brilliant.

I'd keep my head on a swivel if I were you...
For a 90 year old, she seems spry. I'd pay her the $8 for the potatoes or watch your back.
She turned 92 on January 20th. She has slowed down quite a bit over the past five years, and took a horrible shock when we had to let her know that my dad, her only son, had died (I have never heard someone wail before and I NEVER want to hera it again). Otherwise, she's still going strong.
I agree with OhioDad. Is there anything that is not under construction right now? We also go in April. I guess it's best to know ahead of time so I'm not disappointed when we arrive.
We tried to get into T Rex on our last day. They were booked solid. I have a 9 year old that I think would love it.
Don't give up on the reservations to Trex. There are always cancellations and walk-ups are accepted too. Keep trying.

I don't exactly find it to be great food but it isn't bad either by a lot of Disney standards, better than a chunk of buffets that cost more. My DS was in the one at DTD in the fall and he was fine with it.Quote:

What a cute lady. Love the jammie dress and nails, combined with the bobbed hair cut. Adorable.Quote:

We usually try to make ADRs for Rainforest but the one over at AK. The timing is usually perfect because AK closes around dinner time most nights so we just make ADRs for about 30 minutes after the park closes. That way we can stroll out and make our way through the back entrance.
All this being said... I've never eaten at the one at DtD but with the refurb it may be worth checking out on the next trip. That is of course unless after finishing it they move over to the AK one and do the same and then we'll just do our usual. :lol:
It took her 92 years to become the person she is today, and she ain't changin' for no one. :)Quote:

It's actually really odd how inconsistent Landry's is with their restaurants. Morton's is a passable steak house if you're not in Kansas City, Chicago, or New York. McCormick & Schmick's (as well as their sister M&S Grill) are actually rather good. Rainforest Cafe and T-Rex are abysmal. As is The Crab House. Yak & Yeti is actually far better than I would have thought. And Landry's Seafood House isn't some place I'd care to eat at again.
I was treated to a business dinner at Mortons while visiting Denver, and the food was fine. It was my first experience with a menu-free restaurant.Quote:

It's certainly a major step up from chain joints like Outback and other related tripe.
