Hmmm. that isn't in my experience or skill set.... Plus the 2+ hour commute (one way) would be a killer. But it is a funny coincidence that I've found "Help Wanted" ads for 2 DS-associated places so far.
I AM wondering how this is going to affect us. I've been reading reviews on Trip Advisor, and it's a mixed bag. People had some "interesting" experiences in the hotel last year during renovations. But I'm assuming most of those must be done by now, or WILL be by August!!!
I can only imagine how annoying it would be to use a disorganized restaurant with a newbie staff from the top down.
Even though I wasn't planning to eat in the restaurant except maybe once (perhaps during the banquet time), I don't mind paying something extra if the chow is good.
The restaurant in the Burbank Marriott was pricey but pretty decent and rather generous--- if we'd gotten our fridge right away, there would have been enough left over from a couple of the entrees to split for another meal. Oh, well, it's a done deal.
Some of the reviews mentioned a breakfast buffet, but if that costs too darn much, it would be better to drive over to that Perkins place.
