Have you been fairly recently?

I liked it pre-pandemic, but most the WDW buffets I've tried the last few years have been disappointing.

We went to Biergarten in November 2024 and I thought the quality was the same as pre-pandemic. We’ve always liked the food there and the grandkids loved dancing to the band.

There were several servers replenishing the buffet and attending to any drips or spills so everything was very clean.

Buffets give me the creepies. People grab the handle, lick their fingers, grab the next handle. I just can't. Id go to beirgarten if you could just order an entree, but, I can't do a buffet.

I totally understand that. I won’t add to your discomfort by telling what I saw at Cape May once! 😉

That is why Purell sells travel size hand sanitizers my friend. After every trip to the buffet before I grab any eating utensils or cups, I lather my hands in sanitizer.

Have at it. Still doesn't account for the one who places the serving utensil, handle and all, in the serving tray/on the food, rather than the utensil plate next to the food.

When is Disney going to move on from the Mercury/Rudish designs of every single Disney character (especially since they stopped making the Mickey shorts with those designs), the Pixar characters look weird in those designs

Not sure I'll ever understand the excitement over a magnet and popcorn bucket worth a couple of bucks...mind you also dont get the excitement over a "free" cookie or hot chocolate when you pay obscene amounts for a nighttime parade at christmas but hey ho, each to their own I guess.
