The Jimmy Thick reviews!!!

[kbean]

Hey Yannkeesfan, I thought there could be only one Forum Legend!!!

[Mrs Bus Driver]

JimmyThick welcom to intercot. I am sorry if things didn't work out for you on another board. Your reviews/opinions are very welcome here. I agree Splash is a 5, I also enjoy Ohana's though DD did not. Don't have an opinion on Dueling Dragons as I have only been to Universal in Ca and its been a few years. Would like to read your opinions on other WDW rides.

[Terra]

Welcome!

Makes me excited that in 19 days we have our WDW vacation!

And O'Hana.....YUM....fav breakfast place every!

I have to disagree with this. Why else would we all be on INTERCOT, sharing our opinions? Discussion (and opinions) are at the heart of the boards, as long as it is done in a civil manner.

My thoughts exactly!!!!

And so far, other than Ohana (which is really a love or it hate place it seems) I personally haven't agreed with a single one of his "ranks".

The Gravitron at our Stanislaus County fair is a lot of fun, but it's been done before. If they queue were a little more than dead grass, it would be the best fair attraction ever! 4.5

The crowd gathers for the main attraction to appear...

Suddenly a large, muscular bronzed man struts upon the forum with a glistening body while holding a microphone...

The crowd erupts, yes, its him...

" So, who has missed me?"

The crowd roars like hungry, caged lions..

"Ok, lets get this started my little Jimmy Fans, when I say Jimmy, you say Thick..."

The crowd braces itself in anticipation...

" Jimmy!!!"

THICK

"JIMMY!!!"

THICK!!!

"JIMMY!!!"

THICK!!!


And with that, I shall return for a bit, albeit a small sample size. As Iam finishing up a novel, my time is indeed precious, but I do have some time to entertain the masses of this forum once again.

Reviews?

You betcha.

Now, I have been know to be a true Disney homer. I don't hide this fact. But I have been asked if there are some things about WDW I really don't like. When, one day I sat down like a stone and Christian Pondered that question...

I said to myself, and now imagine a young David Bowie saying this...

James, do you really dislike anything at Disney World?

Well Ziggy, I do have a few things I don't really care for, and I promise to explore and pursue these realms of thought, but when asked, the first thing that comes to mind is...

San Angel Inn at Epcot.

Now first off, the margaritas they sell outside the Mexican pavilion are absolute garbage. I would rather drink Florida water. But the food inside the pavilion, at San Angel, is the worst food on property.

I have eaten there three times, I have a sense of duty to my theme park experience and yes indeed, sometimes a restaurant can have a bad day and you can have a bad meal.

It happens.

Three times though, and I have safely crossed off the San Angel Inn of my permanent " I gotta eat there" checklist.

I vividly remember eating a beef tip dish that was so disgusting I took one bite and almost lost the remnants of a forgetful Disney breakfast consumed several hours earlier. Maybe I was sick, I dunno, but I do know never again, not for me.

I can safely assure the masses here, you will not be fighting with me for a ADR for the place.

Grade 0.5


Jimmy Thick- More of the bad coming...

[Mrs Bus Driver]

Good morning Jimmy. I have to ask, how long has that tongue been stuck in your cheek?

That's why I'm here, to get opinions and advice to help me formulate my next trip. Like mentioned, the only useless thing ever found within these boards is negativity......

Because, unfortunately, some people only try to stir up trouble.

And some are very good at it.

[Punchdrunk]

I'm not sure I understand what's going on with this thread. Is it an opinion thread or creative writing thread?

[Jimmy Thick]

Quick update.

Jimmy will be heading to WDW on November 9-23. Still up for Kimono's Evan?




Jimmy Thick- Contemporary for me and mine!!!

[baldburke]

Go Jimmy! Go Jimmy! It's your birthday...go Jimmy!

Can't wait to get the updates Jimmy!

[Jimmy Thick]

Time...Time...Time...See what's become of me...


Greetings and salutations my fellow Disney fanatics as once again I return to attempt to inform, enlighten and perhaps have a laugh or two with what is know as the Jimmy Thick Reviews.

Without further fanfare and pageantry, lets get a rollin'.

Space Mountain
Magic Kingdom.

Ah, for the days of my youth where I was made of steel and knew no pain...

Unfortunately, as I get older, now in my 40's, rides like Space Mountain no longer appeal to me. Don't get me wrong, for what it is, a dark indoor coaster with some awesome, yet dated, effects, the ride is still a marvel of Disney old school Imagineering.

Its just so rough now, I feel like I could get whiplash.

I admit, I haven't rode the ride in over a year, could they have tightened it up? I don't know to be honest, so maybe another member here can set me straight, but the last time I did, I really said to myself, I don't think I need this in my mental vacation queue.

When I was young, not only did see the place where I used to live, I also loved this ride, love the waiting and anticipation.

Now?

Buzz Lightyear for me baby.

How about a dining review?

Teppan Edo
Epcot/ World Showcase

I live close to a Grade A hibachi restaurant. I usually eat there a few times every month to curb my desire for succulent Japanese offerings, or I really should say American style Japanese offering...

Teppan Edo is basically a hibachi restaurant, and its a good one. If you have been to a Benihana's, you should know the show, the routine.

But...

What makes Teppan special is the Disney magic we all know and love so well.

If, and this is a big if, you get the right chef to cook your meal, you can have a little comedy show right in front of you. One time we had this guy who was doing crazy knife stunts, every time he put something on the grill he threw a lemon in the air and cut it. He wasted like 10 lemons, but the whole act was unforgettable. Another chef came to "help" him and they then started cutting shrimp and as one would cut the other would toss the shrimp onto peoples plates, and when he tossed it, the shrimps were not all over the plates, they all bunched with the other shrimp. It was hilarious and impressive. I admit, I have not seen those guys since at Teppan, but they left me a life long memory.

How is the food?

Its good. I find the portions to be a little on the small side compared to other hibachi establishments I frequent, but I can honestly say I have never had a bad meal. To this day, I eat there once every trip.

If you have never experienced a hibachi style meal, give this place a try.

4.5



And with that, this is Jimmy Thick, signing off for a spell.


Jimmy Thick- Hopefully not that long...

[Jimmy Thick]

Quick update.

Leaving tomorrow for WDW and Iam getting that, "Its hard to sleep syndrome". For the first time ever, I think Iam going to do some videos from the resort and post them in this thread as time allows. I do remember WDW wifi upload rates are pretty terrible so bear with me if I don't find them acceptable and just wait until I get back. But I promise to give them old college try.

First thing Iam hitting is the final days of Food and Wine.

Everything will be posted in this thread.

Till we meet again my friends...

[baldburke]

Jimmy will be heading to WDW on November 9-23.

Two weeks...that's an awesome stay! Can't wait for the updates!

[SBETigg]

I have to agree with you, Jimmy Thick. Space Mountain is harder on me now that I'm older. I always ride it anyway, but it's a little less fun and a little more painful every year. Darn!

Enjoy your trip!

I just have to tell you, you're comments really crack me up!

[Jimmy Thick]

Happy holidays and Merry Christmas to everyone here at Intercot.

Now that my second novel is finished, I should have a little more time to be a more active contributor to this site. Someone has been reading this thread...

And discuss my last trip to WDW/Universal...
