Remember to avoid a quarter mile around Communicor Hall during Painful! occurrences unless you enjoy off key squalls of a cat being electrocuted. Unfortunately our dinner plans are in Epcot today.

I wonder if Chefs de France have their wreaths and garlands like they use to

peter114356 days ago

This entire forum is trivial. Everything we talk about here is insignificant in the grand scheme of the things. Just because something isn’t important to you doesn’t mean it’s not important to others. I’m sure there are things you place importance in that others don’t care about.

Glad we booked Biergarten!

Diamond Horseshoe and Biergarten have full decor. And La Hacienda de San Angel has minimal decor but has at least wreaths. There might be more but there’s at least still some table service restaurants that decorate.
