Finally tried Toadstool's for the first time ever.
Reservation was at 12:45, I didn't order until 1:25, and I didn't receive my food until 2 PM on the dot. Very, very ridiculous standard of ops they have here, but I cannot blame them completely.
Had the Tomato Soup (good!), Luigi Burger (fine - chicken was a little dry, fries were actually very good though), and the tiramisu (very, very good). The Lemon Squash soda was also very tasty. However, I spent $106 for two people which I also found a little disappointing, even when considering it's a theme park establishment, but the wait time REALLY dragged my experience down. I felt especially bad for TMs though. They really look like they try their hardest. Guests, especially tourists, seem to not understand that they'll be escorted to the dining room and still try to rush past looking for a seat.
I also bought the TokoToko Mario toy, but I didn't realize it didn't have the red shell on the back like Japans does. A little disappointing, but still a very fun collector's item.
MK was at 70 mins. average all day and the line moved nonstop. Operations and loading seemed to improve much more than they were a year ago, and guests seemed to like riding it now that expectations and word goes around that it's more of an actual video game compared to a fast paced thrill ride that many going in blind would have expected a year ago. Kudos to the team.
