From the Bob Raleigh Studio in Orlando, Florida, you're listening to The Diz Unplugged.

Hello and welcome to The Diz Unplugged Roundtable discussion for the week of January 4, 2011.

From Orlando, Florida, I'm your host Pete Warner, joined at the table this week by my good friends, Kathy Whirling.

Teresa Eccles, Corey Martin, Kevin Close, and John Meijai, Walter Eccles, and Max the intern back in the peanut gallery.

In this segment, Kathy and Teresa are going to talk to us about doing the theme parks when it's crowded, especially close to New Year's Eve, because they were brave enough to enter into the theme parks.

That's a concise title. Yeah, that encapsulates it well. They were brave enough to enter into the theme parks and the days leading up to one of if not the busiest day of the year New Year's Eve, a very popular day at Disney World.

But before we get to that, I just want to say that I think it was the 30th that Walter and I, along with my friend Kevin and another friend of ours, Matt, went to have lunch at our dinner.

Our dinner at artist's point over at wilderness launch. And I cannot tell you on how many levels this dinner sucks. We heard really.

It was horrendous. The service was very good. I mean, so I had nothing to do with the service. It just had to do with crappy, crappy, crappy, crappy, crappy, crappy, crappy food.

We're not going back. We will never go back. What do you have the steak? I had the steak. I had the steak. And I got to tell you it was, it was such a substandard piece of meat.

And it is expensive. And it's $40 some odd dollars for a filet. And even the artisanal cheeses were like, really?

It was awful. The food was just plain bad. And you know, that had been my experience before and I stopped going. And then last year, Walter and I had dinner there with Lee Cockrell and his wife.

And it was great. We had a great meal. And I'm like, okay, you know what? It's come back.

So, you know, thinking someplace different to go because we always go to the same places, you know, we become creatures. I have it with that.

So we decided to go over. Oh, I'll never go back again.

I've never been a big fan of artisan. I think the menus kind of dull. And I don't think the food is worth the price.

Oh, it's not. It's not. No, there's so many better. There's a lot. I know a lot of people like it. And, you know, I'm not telling anybody not to go.

I'm just sharing little heads up. Little heads up for you. You know, we went and it sucked.

And it gets mixed reviews. It really does. It does not. It's not one of those restaurants. It gets a lot of consistently good reviews.

So when you consider the amount of money you're spending on signature dining, consider that because it sucked.

You know, so all right. Now tell us about crowds.

We had the opportunity separately and together and separately again, I guess several times we were in the park between Christmas and New Year's.
