Jim, I completely agree.

Weren't you just in Maui or are you there now? Either way hope you had a great trip.

Paradiso 37 may open while we are down there. In addition to 37 tequilas, the 37 represents the 37 countries of Central & South America. An interesting concept. While there is still no menu, but the restaurant does appear on disneyworld's website if you know how to look for it

here's the link (with concept art) http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/des...ng/paradiso37/

and here is the text (it is listed as part of the West Side and the prices are $15 - $36 per person; also, looks like they will take rservations)

Oh yeah - TW1 - Note that they are pushing the ability to get their specialty coffee. Of course, you'll have to wait until it opens at 11 AM.

Pi was amazing in its heyday. My girls loved the street parades and the entertainment at both stages. They should have left the AC and CW as these two clubs were popular for all ages and they stayed open late if your inclined to stay up late, so you could eat downtown and enjoy some laughing time which everyone needs especially now. Sometimes change is good sometimes it is not, we shall see.
