We had a terrible experience at this place. We went for lunch and one of the greeters directed me to stand to one of the side of the registers. There were 2 families in front of me, the family on the left completed their order and there wan nobody else in front of them. The family in front of me on the right side took a few minutes to complete their order and pay. At about 10 seconds before they finished their order another family came to the left side. The cashier which name is Eddie immediately turns to the newer family that came in several minutes after us. I told Eddie that I was next behind the family that had just left a few seconds ago. Eddie told me “we are supposed to go to one side and the then the other”. I told Eddie next time please tell me to move to the other side since I have been waiting behind another family for a few minutes. Eddie told me “I don’t know which side you are standing on”. Mind you, there was nobody on the other side for several minutes and unless Eddie has a vision problem, I was pretty visible as I am taller than the family that was ahead of me. I told Eddie to ring out the other family and then I placed my order which included 2 kids pull pork platter. We went to find a table and then started eating. Then we find a long hair in one of the kids pulled pork chops platter. Gross… I went to take it back to the folks handling the food. A young lady that look like a supervisor or team lead made a face and said to me. Let me grab you another one. She went to the back and came back with a new platter which looked even drier than the one before. In the private sector a good manager or supervisor would try to do some customer satisfaction recovery, by offering a refund or a dessert or some other item to try to recover the customers experience, but not Disney. Although, I would not have accepted a refund or other type of “bribe” i would like to at least see some type of apology other than sorry.
Disney has lost its way and it’s a shame that they don’t really care about making the experience “magical” anymore. This is why we will not renew our passholder tickets anymore
