You Want What?!

[Syndrome]

I haven't been around for a while because I've been insanely busy, but I just had to pop over and share this. A CM friend who works in the candy shop on Main Street had a woman come up to her and ask, "Do you have peanut brittle without any peanuts?"

I'm just not even sure what snide comment to make about that...I guess it just stands on its own.

[February]

ROFL!!!

So she just wanted the syrupy stuff between the nuts? In hardened form?

Whoa.

It is called brittle and can be made with any nut or even other things.

I guess you could offer her the "crumbs" that had the nuts taken out!! That seems like trying to buy Ice Cream without the "cold"

Okay that's funny cause I almost said "You mean brittle?" as a joke LOL Apparently it actually exists! Who new?

Next they'll want the candy apple coating without the apple. . .which sadly I can't eat anymore too much dental work! Meh!

Maybe it is a peanut allergy thing? But then again wouldn't the brittle part be manufactured in a factory that processes nuts as well? Mmmm peanut brittle... :drool:

Yes, but we are talking SG here...

[GRUMPY PIRATE]

Yes, but we are talking SG here...

True, but I remember being in a candy store in Solvang and getting "Almond Brittle" and they had just about every kind of nut available!

(okay guys, that is about as much of an opening as you are gonna get!!)

[Planner]

Here in Washington we got as many kinds of nuts as you want, some are born with them, some end up with some on the wall and well there are those that have their own farm

[HarryFromMarydelDE]

Maybe it is a peanut allergy thing? But then again wouldn't the brittle part be manufactured in a factory that processes nuts as well? Mmmm peanut brittle... :drool:


We make our own peanut brittle in the Confectionery, and we do advise people with severe nut allergies to avoid any of the products we make ourselves (fudge, rice crispies, apples, strawberries, and peanut brittle) even if that product doesn't itself contain nuts because like you said, they are all prepared on the same surfaces.

Incidentally, if you want to smell the most heavenly candy smell in the world, come in when the kitchen is making caramel apples or peanut brittle (peanut brittle is made from caramel). The whole Confectionery fills up with it! The smell is stronger when they're making peanut brittle, I'm not sure why.

I've had a lot of guests ask for almond brittle, I've also had guests ask for plain brittle, but I've been lucky enough not to have a guest describe plain brittle as "peanut brittle without the peanuts".

OMG they make fudge at the confectionary???

I'm going to have to get me some of that next time. Is it April yet? Please??? I wanna go nowwwwwwwwww.

[Near Philly]

Mmmmmm. Fudge. Soon.

The fresh fudge is behind the bulk counter; don't get the packaged fudge that's in the display, it's made in a factory somewhere. The same goes for the peanut brittle, the stuff we make is in hand tied bags on a table next to the kitchen, the factory stuff is over on the wall with the Goofy's Candy Company items.

Our flavor's of the month this month are Pirate Bone and Cherry Vanilla Walnut, I don't know what the flavors of the month in April are going to be (they don't have a set schedule). My favorite is just the old fashioned Peanut Butter fudge, though.

I'll be quiet now, I get a little excited when I start talking about candy.

What flavor is :pirate1: bone?? And the cherry walnut sounds scrumptious!

Only 6 more wake-ups!:bouncemic

[Whazzup]

Too late, Harry. You've already got us drooling with anticipation.

[Bug715]

I miss SGs in the Confectionary!!! I don't know how many people wanted the candy that we had sold out of that was part of our window display. "O you want the candy that has been in the window for two months?"

[HarryFromMarydelDE]

What flavor is :pirate1: bone?? And the cherry walnut sounds scrumptious!

It's chocolate fudge with Oreo cookies inside and candy bones on top. The guests are really loving the cherry walnut, it has whole cherries inside. When we make samples the cherry walnut disappears right away.

My favorite is when the ask for the things the candy is sitting on; I had a guest get very upset that we didn't sell the vanity that the Christmas candies were sitting on in the window. Unfortunately, due to a stupid cast member trick at the warehouse we are out of almost all the packaged products right now, but the kitchen gets their supplies from a different warehouse so we still have plenty of fudge, crispies, etc. Also the chocolates and Minnie's Bake Shop cookies don't come from the warehouse so we have plenty of them too.

-Harry

[Syndrome]

It seems that's a really good spot to work for running into SGs. I always tell my friend I'd be fired within a day for bitch slapping someone.

Female Brittle Lady was a real winner...not only did she ask that inane question, but she was also chewing on something. Okay, not unusual. Probably eating a sample. But after browsing around, she handed my friend a couple candy wrappers and said "Thanks for the samples." Turns out she was eating stuff out of those bins where you do your own mix! Must have really thought they were samples, too, or she wouldn't have called attention to it like that.

I don't know how y'all deal with it every day without smacking the crap out of someone. At least as a GPCG (Gene Pool Cleansing Guest) I can clothesline heelie kids and wield a pointed umbrella at strollers with impunity.

I saw a kid one day put his mouth on the M&M dispenser and dispense M&Ms into his mouth. His dad just watched. We told a manager but I don't think anything happened (to the kid, the M&M dispenser had to endure a thorough cleaning).

No, the stuff behind the bulk counter is fresh, the table is what I was talking about when I said display, sorry. If you don't have to ask someone to get it for you, we didn't make it.

I just bought two boxes of fudge when I got off work tonight, and it's all SGT's fault :) Actually, I think I was the first person to actually bring fudge up, so I guess it's my fault after all. At least I resisted buying a bag of peanut brittle.

-Harry

[HarryFromMarydelDE]

Hey Harry, are you CP? My friend thinks she knows you...she'll say "hi" next time she sees you.

I'm full time, if she worked on Main Street East since August I probably know her. I picked the Confectionery in the scheduling bid, so I'm there five days a week.

-Harry

[Syndrome]

She's thinking of the wrong person then...I PMed you with more info. She only works one or two days a week.

the other day at work a server was describing what happened with one particular guest. they were very, very PICKY about what they wanted. included was a move from one table to another but the icing on the proverbial cake: the woman wanted Wal-Mart french toast.

You don't know what you've missed. We expect a full report on those two shops when you return from WDW later this month. :p: (That's my tongue hanging out. I'm too lazy to go find the drooling smiley thing.)

That's something we don't have here - See's candy. Except in the Navy commissary. How come they can get it but Albertson's can't? Never mind, I know the answer to that question.

Because my family is more concerned with riding rides and all than taking in the details and all. There's so much to do and see on Main Street but since there's no rides there we don't hang around long. I plan to spend some time on Main Street while there this time. There's nobody to stop me.

Because my family is more concerned with riding rides and all than taking in the details and all. There's so much to do and see on Main Street but since there's no rides there we don't hang around long. I plan to spend some time on Main Street while there this time. There's nobody to stop me.

Isn't that an amazing feeling? I have spent so many years running around doing what everyone else wanted to do that when we got to meander and do our own thing last time and spent extra time on Main Street I just fell in love with it completely. I see now what my grandparents saw in it all those years ago.

I aim to spend a good deal of time there on our April trip- looking for Dapper Dan sightings, visiting with the streetmosphere (I didn't remember there ever being as many folks out there as there were our last trip! Not only the mayor and is her name Hildegard? But I saw other ladies out in the street in gorgeous costumes too) And I want to spend more time in the street at the Studios hunting up Streetmosphere there too.

Hilarious thing from our last trip: My husband is wheeling me into the Studios and I'm holding my forearm crutch over my lap (I wish they'd put a holder for the damn things on the side of the chair already!) and we go up and the director is in his chair and before I see him I hear through the bullhorn. . . "And here, ladies and gentlemen we have Hollywood's preeminent stunt woman. Sorry about the accident."

ROFLMAO

We bantered back and forth and I told him that I told CB I was never going to work with him again, and the director was just insisting that it was not his fault ROFL.

Those are the moments you can't plan, and why I firmly believe now that over-planning and over-scheduling WDW trips to 'make magic happen' can actually work against you, and prevent the most magical moments, which can in most cases only happen by chance.

Take that stroll down Main Street at your own pace, Shorty, and enjoy it! And tell us all about it afterward :)

I'd love to but I don't think I'm going to have time this trip. I promise I will go on it eventually though.

EDIT: I will talk to my brother later (I'll be dependent on him and his wife for transportation) and see if I could possibly do it. Possibly Friday the 15th as he works that day (not at Disney). I'll let you know.

I think See's can now be ordered online. Google See's candy and see what comes up.

Love the interraction.

As to the crutch/cane holder on the side of a WC, I ave an idea. A piece of PVC pipe that the foot of the crutch will fit inside. A cap on the bottom (with a drain hole to prevent it becomein a rain gage). The tube needs to be slightly less than the length of the WC frame from the top of the fabric seat back at the hand grip to the bottom of the back frame piece. A webbing loop at the top loops over the hand grip and is stopped from sliding on down the frame by the seat back. A velcro strap attaches around the arm rest where it attaches to the frame back. And lastly another velcro strap at the bottom to hold it to the frame at the bottom (so the cane can't become top heavy and flip the holder over).

It wouldn't be too hard to make such a thing and would be installable on nearly any chair. In fact you may want to have two. One for the crutch and one for an umbrella. And being made from PVC plastic and webbing it would be light and easy to carry along until a chair is obtained. In fact it may even be able to be hung on the crutch itself for non-WC travel.

Randy

[February]

Quick! Patent that!!! I know I'd pay for one.

I can't tell you how many times my crutch has slipped, the rubber tip hits the ground as the chair is rolling and then the cuff smacks me in the face.

Not fun. Talk about needing an E stop.

I'm afraid one day it might cost me my front teeth!!!

[GRUMPY PIRATE]

You could also try these clamps. I have been using them for years, first the small ones for various computer cables and connectors that I had to take with me on job sites, then I started using the big ones at home. I use the mega size to hold 50 foot extension cords with no problem. they could certanily hold the weight of crutches, and you could clamp them in place quickly!!

http://www.cableclamp.com/

They sell them at Walmart and Sears, to name a few places!!

(The really small ones are great for at the electrical charges when we travel!)

[DisneyMom]

I say hold the crutches across the handlebars of the ECV to make sure no SGs encroach...if they do, smack 'em upside the head or reposition crutches to give 'em a good poke @12mph!:twisted:

Oh hey now, that sounds like something I'm definitely going to have to look into! Thank you Pirate!!! Even thought my husband still teases me for saying "Sea-ers" instead of "Seers" when I pronounce the name (it's a two syllable word in this state, I'm sorry!) he might still take me there to get one of those dealeos!

You guys may seriously have saved my front teeth, or my nose which is enough a tribute to my British heritage it does NOT need any more help.

Though the idea of using it to poke SG's has occurred to me on several occasions if I'm being honest. . .but I would never do it.

Except if I could go back and whack the guy who burned me with his cigarette by walking next to my chair in a crowd and holding it far and away backward from him. THen I might use it.

I heard the sound before I felt the pain *cringe* spent half the afternoon at first aid getting ice packs.

Now here's a. . . well I won't say, "Stupid" CM moment but I will say "dippy".

I went to first aid in Epcot. Lady asks what my problem is.

I say, I need an ice pack please, I got burned by a cigarette.

She frowns at me and says "That's why you shouldn't smoke."

and I said "no, not MY cigarette. I don't smoke."

She still clucked her tongue at me as if I had burned my own arm with a cigarette just for fun *smacks forehead*

I was so grateful that she had an icepack that she could have looked at me square in the face and called me an idiot and I wouldn't have cared LOL

Ever been burned by one? man that's painful.

Every time it was exposed to sunlight for the rest of our vacation, killer.

And it was barely a minor burn too. Thing was when I yanked my arm away and involutarily shouted "ow!" the guy with the cig gave me the dirtiest look I've ever seen, as if I should have been watching where I put my arm.

On the armrest of my chair.

But still. . .was my fault his cig burned me. *shrug*!

The clamps are very strong, I was also going to tell you that I used three of the "mega" sized ones to clamp a shotgun, in a soft case to a large duffell bag afor ease in carryng it. they work great!! Was thinking about using them in my garage to "clamp" my ladders to a shelving unit I installed!!

And it was barely a minor burn too. Thing was when I yanked my arm away and involutarily shouted "ow!" the guy with the cig gave me the dirtiest look I've ever seen, as if I should have been watching where I put my arm.
On the armrest of my chair.
But still. . .was my fault his cig burned me. *shrug*!

That whole story makes me SO MAD. People who smoke are inconsiderate idiots.:mad:

Love the interraction.

As to the crutch/cane holder on the side of a WC, I ave an idea. A piece of PVC pipe that the foot of the crutch will fit inside. A cap on the bottom (with a drain hole to prevent it becomein a rain gage). The tube needs to be slightly less than the length of the WC frame from the top of the fabric seat back at the hand grip to the bottom of the back frame piece. A webbing loop at the top loops over the hand grip and is stopped from sliding on down the frame by the seat back. A velcro strap attaches around the arm rest where it attaches to the frame back. And lastly another velcro strap at the bottom to hold it to the frame at the bottom (so the cane can't become top heavy and flip the holder over).

It wouldn't be too hard to make such a thing and would be installable on nearly any chair. In fact you may want to have two. One for the crutch and one for an umbrella. And being made from PVC plastic and webbing it would be light and easy to carry along until a chair is obtained. In fact it may even be able to be hung on the crutch itself for non-WC travel.

Thank you, Rob! I never imagined they made stuff like that!

You know, I have tears in my eyes over here you all have shown such genuine care and concern for my safety/potential injury factors as to look for and find so many options for me. I will definitely get on ordering one before our upcoming trip, I want to be sure that my husband checks them out too I worry about him getting whacked in the face with the crutch if it holds it up too high. . .but that you all cared enough to take time out of your busy days/lives to look for me. . . wow

And to the CM (and you know who you are) who PM'd me and offered help if I needed it with securing a chair, etc, well. Everyone here is just so cool.

People can say what they will about us here at SGT but I've seen more genuine kindness and helpfulness here than on just about any other forum I've visited, and I've been to many in the past decade +.

Thanks, everyone *sniff*

Oh, DisneyMom. . .how could it not? You know we're all such black hearted grumps over here on SGT right. . .We poke an SG. . .then join hands and sing a rousing round of Kumbyah! (I know, misspelled. i'm tired and i don't care anymore!) :D LOL

Sounds like a good time to me. Except can we sing something else instead? Maybe "We're not gonna take it" or Tubthumping or something? :D

This is what happens when I post when I should be napping I know I'm making no sense. And I'm enjoying it, that's the scary part LOL

[DevilDuckie]

No I wouldn't!! :D:



I would- cuz why freak out over caramel when there are butterscotch ones still in the bag, damnit!!!! :drool:


I make nut brittle. Cashew is good but my favorite is walnut. Or macadamia but that gets expensive so I generally only make that one for sale.

[vixen101485]

Now see, I just KNEW I shoulda bought those specialty nuts at the grocery store today. Chocolate Crunch Covered Macadamia Nuts and Pina Colada Covered Cashews. NOt at 4 bucks package tho they sounded really yummy.

LOL... I made two posts in a row about nuts of some sort. SNORT. Totally unintentional I swear

Butterscotch - the ultimate flavor! When we were kids my Dad used to take us to the local soda fountain on Saturday nights, you know the one with the shiny red upholstered seats at the counter. We'd each get to order our choice of sundae or milk shake. I'd always order a different flavor of ice cream with butterscotch topping, whipped cream, nuts, and a cherry on top. I can still taste that wonderful butterscotch flavor. Yummmmmm!

I don't drink much, but during the winter I like to put Buttershots schnapps ("Buttersnot") in my hot chocolate, and in the summer it makes a nice cool refresher poured over cold milk with ice cubes in the glass.

The answer as to why we support each other around here can be summed up in two words. We're Family. We may have our strange aunts and uncles, we may have a few sibling rivalries, but when it comes down to it, family is there for family. :D:

Is it another name for the Main Street Bakery?

Frankly--if I may go back to the thought on crutches--why not put a shotgun inside the thing (sounds like something you'd see on Mythbusters, huh?) and the next SG that pokes you is gonna get their you-know-what blasted off!:twisted:

And if I was burned by a cigarette by an SG, I 'd let them know about it at the top of my lungs, and if a nurse tried to blame me for smoking, I'd set her straight the same way, and head for City Hall!

My signature over on kbfdrama.com says, " 'Nobody can make you feel inferior without your permission.'--Eleanor Roosevelt. I am SO not giving permission!"

That pretty much sums it up.

The Confectionery, (also known as the Main Street Candy Shop) is at the corner of Main Street and Town Square, across from the main entrance to the Emporium and next door to Le Chapeau.

It's also downstairs from the sheriff's substation, if that helps.

Thanks. I think I can find it though I'm not sure exactly where Le Chapeau is. Town Square is the section at the head of Main Street, right? By the Train Station.

I'm feeling so stupid. Being such a Disney nut I should know all this but I guess since I haven't been nearly as much as I would have liked in the past and nearly always with my family I don't. My family seems to think of Main Street merely as the entrance to the park and not a place to explore.

I'm a little surprised that the Emporium, Confectionery, and Le Chapeau aren't on any map I've found so far.

No idea where the sheriff's substation is. Wouldn't its outside be disguised anyway?

[GRUMPY PIRATE]

According to the online map, it is in the same building on the right hand side of the street! I seem to remember going in there, DW and I had indulged in some rather good mid-day snacks there!!! we then made a few purchases to take back to the room!! (HEY, we are on VACATION!!!)(I like carmels!!!)

[Cheshire Figment]

Heading from The Hub toward the Main Street Train Station at one point you will be blocked by a flagpole. At that point stop, turn about 135 degrees to your left, and you will be staring at the entrance to The Confectionary.

[vixen101485]

Now if I have it right from memory, (correct me if I am wrong) Walk in under the train tunnel, go right around the flagpole (stay on the street) when you are on the opposite side of the flagpole from the train station, it is the 2nd store on the right. I think I have that correct.

[GRUMPY PIRATE]

Both CF and Vixen described exactly where it shows up on the online map!!

What online map? I don't see it on the map on the WDW site nor on the few I looked at elsewhere online.

[Princess Susi]

The fresh fudge is behind the bulk counter; don't get the packaged fudge that's in the display, it's made in a factory somewhere. The same goes for the peanut brittle, the stuff we make is in hand tied bags on a table next to the kitchen, the factory stuff is over on the wall with the Goofy's Candy Company items.

Our flavor's of the month this month are Pirate Bone and Cherry Vanilla Walnut, I don't know what the flavors of the month in April are going to be (they don't have a set schedule). My favorite is just the old fashioned Peanut Butter fudge, though.

I'll be quiet now, I get a little excited when I start talking about candy.

Heck, I want one of everything, but please no hard or sour candy, and no candy apples, please! Gotta get to a dentist, my veneers are falling apart....

It's chocolate fudge with Oreo cookies inside and candy bones on top. The guests are really loving the cherry walnut, it has whole cherries inside. When we make samples the cherry walnut disappears right away.

-Harry

Mmmmmmmmmmm Cherry Walnut Fudge...I want some. Now I am going to HAVE to call my friend who lives in Orlando and is an AP and make him go over and get some to send me. Sadly, Disney will not ship food products. You have to buy it yourself when you are there or have a freind do it and ship it!:(

the other day at work a server was describing what happened with one particular guest. they were very, very PICKY about what they wanted. included was a move from one table to another but the icing on the proverbial cake: the woman wanted Wal-Mart french toast.

What the hell is Wal-Mart french toast? I have no idea!

That's something we don't have here - See's candy. Except in the Navy commissary. How come they can get it but Albertson's can't? Never mind, I know the answer to that question.
Anybody coming to visit from the west coast - bring See's!!! :liplick:

Oooooooh See's....We have them here in Denver. Raffle can get a half pound box and eat the WHOLE thing in one sitting.:eek: I am afraid if I did that I would have a tummy ache. I like chocolate, but can only eat a small amount at a time. It just sits in my stomach like a big ball o' lead. My dad is the same way. Raffle is a REAL CHOCOHOLIC though! We have See's, Russell Stover Factory and retail store and Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory all on the same block in Denver! HA! Makes Raffle drool every time we drive down there.

[Princess Susi]

Oh hey now, that sounds like something I'm definitely going to have to look into! Thank you Pirate!!! Even thought my husband still teases me for saying "Sea-ers" instead of "Seers" when I pronounce the name (it's a two syllable word in this state, I'm sorry!) he might still take me there to get one of those dealeos!

You guys may seriously have saved my front teeth, or my nose which is enough a tribute to my British heritage it does NOT need any more help.

Though the idea of using it to poke SG's has occurred to me on several occasions if I'm being honest. . .but I would never do it.

Except if I could go back and whack the guy who burned me with his cigarette by walking next to my chair in a crowd and holding it far and away backward from him. THen I might use it.

I heard the sound before I felt the pain *cringe* spent half the afternoon at first aid getting ice packs.

Now here's a. . . well I won't say, "Stupid" CM moment but I will say "dippy".

I went to first aid in Epcot. Lady asks what my problem is.

I say, I need an ice pack please, I got burned by a cigarette.

She frowns at me and says "That's why you shouldn't smoke."

and I said "no, not MY cigarette. I don't smoke."

She still clucked her tongue at me as if I had burned my own arm with a cigarette just for fun *smacks forehead*

If someone had burned my arm with their cig, the WHOLE crowd would have known about it. I would have screamed SO LOUD, enough to break the offender's eardrums and then I woulda smacked him. That is just so off the hook! Getting someone in the arm with a BURNING HOT EMBER would be enough for me to call security to make sure this guy was properly and officially chastised for being so ignorant to the people around him that he BURNED someone, then to give YOU a dirty look. Wow. Just wow. What a rude and unthinking self centered Prick! He likes burning things, he is gonna love it in Hell!:twisted:
Yeah, he would NOT have liked burning me.

Yeah when we 'stumbled" onto it we were expecting a clothing store (like MK and DLR) as DW was searching for the "perfect" WDW jacket. When we realized where we were, we forgot about buying clothing. Yep, even though we had some gift baskets in the room, we left with...enough that we could "skip" a dinner! plus got some great baked goods with the candy!!!

Here is a funny SG story involving the Confectionery.

As church lady mentioned, they are giant rice crispie treats. And they are really good. Using the ones shown in those beautiful pictures, this is one with a 1.5 pound chocolate medallion attached:

http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/2622/medalionoi7.jpg

Notice the smiling Mickey on the chocolate medallion? The mold used for the rice crispies themselves has the same exact face, but because of the nature of rice crispies they don't pick up the face very well, just leaving a vague impression of a smile (incidentally, those ears are covered in white chocolate):

http://img352.imageshack.us/img352/9569/earstl9.jpg

The smile is actually less visible in person than it appears in the photo. A few weeks ago I was working at the Cotton Candy registers (the ones in the fifth photo down in the diningindisney.com photos). From where a guest stands you can't really see the smile at all unless you know to look at it. A SG bought a plain one and as I was boxing it up she suddenly noticed the smile. She completely freaked, and I had to cancel the purchase. She said that it was one of the scariest things she had ever seen! I showed her the mold but it didn't matter, she ended up leaving the store without buying anything and she seemed quite disturbed by the whole experience. Since then I have carefully looked at the plain rice crispie heads several times, but I still can't see what she saw. Really, it was a very strange experience.

-Harry

[HarryFromMarydelDE]

For the people looking for directions to the Confectionery, the stores in Main Street East are as follows:

Standing with the train station at your back, Main Street East is the right hand side of the street. The big building on your right is Expo Hall (photo pass, camera supplies, and Mickey shaped pasta), then Tony's Town Square Restaurant (not part of Main Street East), then a little open space, then the Chapeau (closed until the 18th of March while it is expanded to fill the space formerly occupied by DVC), then the Confectionery, then the Gallery, then Uptown Jewelers/Uptown Pins.

Here is where the confectionery is on the paper map, sorry for my sloppily drawn arrow:

For whatever reason, the paper map pretty much just has dining, not shopping.

The mold used for the rice crispies themselves has the same exact face, but because of the nature of rice crispies they don't pick up the face very well, just leaving a vague impression of a smile (incidentally, those ears are covered in white chocolate):

http://img352.imageshack.us/img352/9569/earstl9.jpg

The smile is actually less visible in person than it appears in the photo. A few weeks ago I was working at the Cotton Candy registers (the ones in the fifth photo down in the diningindisney.com photos). From where a guest stands you can't really see the smile at all unless you know to look at it. A SG bought a plain one and as I was boxing it up she suddenly noticed the smile. She completely freaked, and I had to cancel the purchase. She said that it was one of the scariest things she had ever seen! I showed her the mold but it didn't matter, she ended up leaving the store without buying anything and she seemed quite disturbed by the whole experience. Since then I have carefully looked at the plain rice crispie heads several times, but I still can't see what she saw. Really, it was a very strange experience.

Maybe she has a "thing" for eating something "with a face"? A co-worker is a hard core vegatarian (Veegan?) not sure the distinction, and its not important, but that is one of her "sayings" Or maybe she is just freaked out by something smiling back at her?

For the people looking for directions to the Confectionery, the stores in Main Street East are as follows:

Standing with the train station at your back, Main Street East is the right hand side of the street. The big building on your right is Expo Hall (photo pass, camera supplies, and Mickey shaped pasta), then Tony's Town Square Restaurant (not part of Main Street East), then a little open space, then the Chapeau (closed until the 18th of March while it is expanded to fill the space formerly occupied by DVC), then the Confectionery, then the Gallery, then Uptown Jewelers/Uptown Pins.

Here is where the confectionery is on the paper map, sorry for my sloppily drawn arrow:

For whatever reason, the paper map pretty much just has dining, not shopping.

-Harry

The Confectionery is impossible to miss I found. We went under the right side of the train station and the sign just stared me in the face. Cool place but I didn't buy anything, I just wasn't in the mood for sweets at the time and I have no room in my bags for anything.

[Sarah Magdalene]

Was there tonight - cotton candy of course.

You mean you're not bringing me back a huge bag of chocolate fudge or Mickey Rice Krispy Treats or caramel coated apples or anything like that???? :(
Oh well, I know your bags were probably packed to the brim.
Just kidding - I'll be happy if you bring me a map or two.

We definitely need to do lunch so I can hear all about your trip.

They are. The only thing other than food I bought was some cough drops. I would love to have been able to bring back some treats from the Confectionery.

Just kidding - I'll be happy if you bring me a map or two.

I got you a bunch of maps of each park.

We definitely need to do lunch so I can hear all about your trip.

Yes we do. I'll let you know my schedule for the rest of the week when I find out. For everybody else I'll put together a trip report and post it.

Are you home already? I hope you don't have to go to work this afternoon - I'm sure you need some hours to rest up from your gung-ho trip (I was trying to avoid saying commando). ;)

Maybe you could substitute the term "Agressive FUN" for "commando", since that term seems to be the "property" of another board?

Here is a funny SG story involving the Confectionery.

As church lady mentioned, they are giant rice crispie treats. And they are really good. Using the ones shown in those beautiful pictures, this is one with a 1.5 pound chocolate medallion attached:

I was thinking the same thing. Or maybe she saw Jesus or the Virgin Mary in the Rice Krispies. We KNOW your Rice Krispies tell you what to do. heeheehee:p:

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...Cotton candy!!!! I love the stuff. Always have. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...Can't wait, Can't wait...for a very important date in May!!!!! I will be visiting the Confectionary!:D:

Didn't they used to sell a kids toy that made cotton candy? You can always ask Santa...or ask for one on your next birthday...!!

I have a cotton candy machine. The witch stager put it in storage with therest of my fun *toys*, she did not think were appropriate for showing our home.:rolleyes:

I also have a full size popcorn machine that has the little bucket that spills it out and it is big and red with glass windows, just like you see at a carnival! She left that up in our basement rec room near the bar. It fit I guess!:rolleyes:

I love these toys. I was gonna get the hotdogger that you can prepare a bunch of doggies on the rollers, but have not gotten that yet! I also want a corndogger for my home. I LOVE corndogs! Mmmmmmmmm...Need to find one of those and NOT at eBay. I want a shiny new one.:D:

My flight got in a little after 10:00 this morning. I would have been on sooner but I've been fighting computer problems all afternoon. I couldn't get connected to the Internet and after a while on the phone with tech support we figured out the problem is somewhere on my end. I hooked my modem up using USB instead of the network card (NIC) just now and I have Internet so apparently my NIC went bad. I'm going to have to get a longer USB cable tomorrow, my tower is pulled as far from the desk as I can get it and the USB cables are stretched tight going right across the middle of my living room floor (computer is in my room, modem is on the other side of the living room from there). I'd rather use a NIC but I don't believe I have an empty place to put one in my tower. Ah well, once I get to WDW permanent I'll be able to save up enough money to get me a new computer.

I don't work until tomorrow afternoon at 2:00. I'm not sure when I get off but I bet I close. I'll find out what I'm working the rest of the week tomorrow.

We had some bad storms while you were gone. Could that have caused the problem with your NIC?

I don't see how as I had unplugged everything.

I haven't been around for a while because I've been insanely busy, but I just had to pop over and share this. A CM friend who works in the candy shop on Main Street had a woman come up to her and ask, "Do you have peanut brittle without any peanuts?"

I'm just not even sure what snide comment to make about that...I guess it just stands on its own.

I want to order a BLT, but to hold the bacon, lettuce, and tomato. :)

[vixen101485]

HEHEHE....when I worked Mickey D's we had this one lady come in all the time and get a hamburger with no burger. All the regular condiments, and pickles but no meat. Seriously, some all carb thing she was on. For god's sakes go over to the grocery store across the street and buy a pack of buns and a bottle of ketchup

I was at In 'N Out, and the guy in front of me orders one of the "special" hidden burgers. It was a double, but instead of a bun, in came wrapped in lettuce! (he also had triple onions on it!) (no date for that guy!!)

They have grilled cheese also. I order my burger protein style, without bun, as I am allergic to buns and any wheat. Also available is the animal style and the multiples like 5x5 which is 5 patties and 5 slices of cheese. Mostly people allergic to wheat and on low carb diets get the protein style burger.

I love onions and which I had some to go with my peanut butter right now.

[Big Wallaby]

5 patties of beef?!? Woah! I think I would Signal V about halfway through that one.

Unless they're small patties...

[mechurchlady]

you could get a 50x50 if you want. Yep there have been customers who have ordered a 7x7 before. Not sure the record but it is standard bun and ingredients with standard patty and cheese. My record is two double doubles with the bun. I could probably do 3 double doubles without the bun as I have celiac.

[GRUMPY PIRATE]

The patties are pretty big, but this particular guy had just a double. you can get a triple or quad, or..pretty much anything you want. They also have "hidden" milk shakes and other items.

So what do they "hide" in the milkshake? *eyebrow raises*

Oh, sorry, no "hidden" substances! Its kind of an "in" joke. you can order mixes of flavors, and have your burgers various ways, (no buns) or triple or quadruple meat, or whatever. They don't put it on the menu, but if you know about it, you can order it. its sort of an open secret.

you can see the stuff at the web site shown!

[vixen101485]

HMMM....maybe a trip to Cali is in order. The grilled cheese sounds really good. I will have to show this to Donnie so he can drool a bit. LOL

Its DW and I's favorite, when we are allowed to do the burger thing!!!

When you go through the drive through, they entire area is glass, and you can see them making the food! (no frozen beef!!) and they guy or girl making the french frys puts the whole potato in the cutter and pulls the handle, and the cut frys fall into the bowl, right in front of you!! MMMmmmmm.

They DO just seem to taste better!!!

I've been thinking of trying to get a crowd together and ordering something like a 640×480 to split with everybody. I wonder if they'd actually do it... :D:

you talking about a burger, or the smallest resolution on your computer screen?

[hobie16]

A burger joint I went to occasionally had a device that, once the burger was assembled, they'd clamp it on the finished product so it looked like someone had taken a bite out of it. On the menu it was listed as the Gross Burger.

(okay grandkids wanted to see it, they liked the bit with the milkshakes and the "restroom!)

[HarryFromMarydelDE]

I had a guest come up to me today with a full 18 inch sour powder tube. A sour powder tube is basically a giant transparent pixie dust straw that you fill yourself with whatever flavors you want. She asked me, "What is this?" I mistook her and answered, "That's $4.50." (She had just asked me for the price on two other items.) Then she said, "No, I mean what is it? Do I eat it?" I said "Yes, ma'am.", but I thought, "You do realize this is a candy store, and you did notice that all the powders you were putting into the tube had flavors marked on the dispenser?" Hopefully, she understood that I meant she should eat the powder and not the plastic tube.

Now, one with a lot of colors does remind me (very) vaguely of a long, thin version of one of those mason jars you fill with colored sand to make pictures, but I'm pretty sure that those sands come from containers marked with names like "Red", "Green", "Blue" and not "Sour Cherry", "Sour Lime", "Bubblegum".

it would cost several thousands of dollars probably and it would be over 1000 layers high, not really possible.
