You are right about short staffed. 1 order station per 2 lines, then 1 person pulling food for 3 or 4 lines, it took 25 mins to get food at Columbia house on Wed. Terrible food too. Lobster roll was a disappointment after I read so much about it. Went to restaurantasouras on Thursday, even worse service. My salad was pathetic. Redeeming tho was that AK is an amazingly beautiful park, and we managed to ride FoP with FP, Everest twice, dinosaur, primeval whirl, safari. Want to go back tomorrow to ride river but the crowd calendar has me scared! We have a fp for fop again so at least going to do that again. I wasn't terriibly Impressed with the ride, and would never wait more than 30 mins for it. Still, we are having a wonderful time. I think there are many locals at EPCOT today for the farts (we have named festival of arts farts). Rode frozen today. Do not see what the big deal is, and again would not wait more than 20 mins for it. Rode thunder 3 times last night between 1015 and 11, and hoping the cold will scare everyone off after fireworks today! Wish me luck!
