This suggestion reminded me of when I lived in my apartment where the last four digits of my phone number were 0003 and the local pizza parlor was 0033. Usually I'd just say "wrong number," but if they caught me in a cranky mood I'd say, "Sorry, we burned down" or "We're not doing deliveries because we were destroyed by a tornado."
I had a friend who worked the evening shift at a local radio station. The studio phone line had a number that was the same as the local Dominos with two numbers switched. They frequently got pizza orders. Most of the time they just told the caller they had the wrong number and gave them the right one. But sometimes (when they were bored) they would take the order and just call it in themself. I wonder how often they were tempted to "make a mistake" on the order (swapping NO anchovies to Double anchovies).

The Concourse Steakhouse will remain open until some time next Summer, but I think the point was that the quality of food and service has slipped noticeably as the best cooks and servers move to other locations like culinary rats leaving a sinking ship. :remy:

More of an off-brown reddish-purple.. Trust me, I know these things from experience.

Hmm, let's see... Have you ever mentioned him here? Have I met him? Are you sure it's not Meghyn? :p:

Zazu, thank you, I am glad it is still open for a while. Maybe we will get to eat there when we come in Spring. It looked like the whole atrium lobby had been totalled when I saw pics of it at Allears. So it is still going to be open. YAY!!!!!!!

I love to eat at the Concourse Steakhouse and watch the Monorails go by. The whole thing is being remodeled as I understand it, the gift shop, restaurants, all of it except Chef Mickey's. Is that correct? Zazu, is the restaurant going downstairs where the recreation center is now? That is what I *heard*.

Rachelsmom1, You are going in April? We are shooting for our regular May trip for the Flower and garden Show at EPCOT, that is unless the Bubble Ladies trip makes us change our ressies. We always stay at the Contemporary, a favorite of ours due to it's proximity to MK and it is on the Monorail loop and it is just a cool Resort. We will stay half the trip there and the other half at the Yacht Club. I want to try that pool! We usually go for a month, 3 and half weeks at WDW and 3-4 days at my Uncle's place up in Invernss near Ocala. We missed our trip this year due to Orion's illness, so I am pumped to go next Spring. I can't wait til the house sells and we live down there. I will STILL get ressies for rooms on property for a couple days stay, as we like to be pampered and I love staying in hotels. :D: It is fun to just get out of your own house for a couple days too! And you cannot beat the Disney resorts for great people (CM's and service. The resorts are AWESOME! I LOVE staying in Disney Hotels. They are the best! :D:

April 5-12 at POR is our ressie. We would love to try deluxes, but then that would mean only one trip per year as opposed to 3-4, and that just will not happen!! We are all addicted to WDW. We love Concourse, LeCellier, Chef Mickeys, Crystal Palace, 1900 Park Fare, Pizza Planet (for the kids, they adore the place :o: ) and on and on and on. The Delux DDP is next on our list so we may try all the 2credit places. :) . If we ever get to move to central FL we will also stay in Disney hotels when we can....

After the guy finished, he asked if he could schedule me to have someone come out for an estimate. I said, "Sure, but you'll have to check with the manager of the apartment building."
Reminds me of the Stephen Wright line: "I installed a skylight in my apartment. The guy who lives above me was furious!" :D:
