Whispering canyon-all good?

caln · 03-14-2006

I've been hearing a lot of good things about WC and it's on our dining list for next year but I'm alittle curious about the "goings on" there. Don't spill the beans with details but my son can be easily embarrassed and I'm wondering if anyone found the whole thing alittle too much. I remember reading that someone went to 50's PT and found the waitresses over did the whole thing and they didn't care for it. Again I know everyone likes different things but did anyone not like to WC?
Thanks!

My MIL did not care for the humor. But she's definitely not the norm...in MANY ways.

We absolutely LOVE it. It's a must do every trip.

I think WC is really fun. I'm not so big on the food but the servers make it worth it.

BuzzLightyear · 03-14-2006

Well, it's a blast, but I don't know if it's for someone who is easily embarrased.

**dhoughton** · 03-14-2006

We really love it there! HB is very shy and she had the 'spotlight' on her one evening with the cheerleaders (that's another story) but it wasn't a big deal and she actually got a kick out of giving out the Pony Express certs. I don't think you will have a problem--I think your son will get a kick out of the place!

DW and I have a ADR there in May never been there before but heard it is really awesome

One of my little guys was not feeling great, and the staff never embarrassed him or even pushed him to do anything. And my impression was that all of the silliness is mainly directed towards the adults.....Go! Have fun!

I am not sure it's as good for someone who is easily embarassed, but if you make that clear to the people at the podium when you're seated I think it should be OK.

**llama** · 03-14-2006

Well - I have to admit that we didn't like it. But - it could be a cultural thing - we're not really use to that kind of thing and it makes us uncomfortable - but it wasn't only that - we didn't enjoy the food very much - my dh dubbed it Cholesteral Canyon.

I thought I was the only one who didn't think the food was all that great, it was just ok. I guess I'm not that in to BBQ.

Kippage · 03-14-2006

I'll also say that I didn't like it. The food was fine - I'm from the South, so it's nothing new. But I simply don't like the interaction while I'm eating. I'm not easily embarrassed, and don't mind acting a fool, just not while eating. I like to talk, enjoy the conversation, and be focused on the person/people with me. Not the waitress trying to get me to goof off.

I guess that's the way we are - we take our food seriously, lol.

DisneyTeacher - we thought we were the only ones who didn't like it. I like bbq - but it was just TOO MUCH!

bali · 03-14-2006

We didn't like it very much either. The food wasn't great, and our server was horrible--almost SCARY he was so bad!! Not fun at all. It will be a while before I go back there, unfortunately.

brumcg · 03-15-2006

I find the food very average... and I love BBQ. I understand that the food used to be better when they operated their own smoke house... but I digress...

My kids are both very shy... and really my wife hates being the center of attention... but I pretty much go with the flow. I've found that the servers pick up on this VERY quickly, and they focus on making me the butt of their jokes. Everyone ends up having a good time laughing at/with me.

WC is not high on our list. The food is o.k., but when we eat a meal, we whish to have a nice quiet conversation, and do not care for the interruptions. It might also explain why 50's PTC is not high on the list either.
