Yeeeeeah, that really didn't feel like it should have been $125.

I went in for the 4:30 and I really had mixed feelings on it. The first drink I had was all juice. I mean, straight up mixed poorly - or just mixed in a big batch and I ended up with the wrong end of that stick.

The food was nice, but it was getting bottle necked out the door and up until the last 15 minutes, didn't even see any crispy green beans hit the area closes to the posters. The ahi cones were good, as well as the sliders, which did eventually make their rounds in the back.

I was also a little let down by the limitation they had on the drink menu. I enjoy zombies, but you would figure that they'd have another drink on their menu that wasn't beer or wine.

I came away from the presentations with this statement; "Thanks for making Trader Sam's the success it is, but Orlando will be better in every way possible! Just check out this awesome shirt you won't be able to get! Hope it does well there and maybe Disney will kick something here"

I also really lamented the fact that the shrunken Ned mug original concept was shown. Because I would have loved that mug and while I love the zombie mug, that Ned mug would have been better.

Also a bit bummed Orlando gets some cool looking mugs.

As for the bag. Yeah, I'm in agreement that the explorer hat was something you could pick up at party city or even the 99 cent store. Would it have killed them to put on some button or even some marking?

Also, I may be alone on this, but I felt that the mug prices were a bit on the crazy side. What was it, $27 for the day of mug and $20 for the regular 2nd edition zombie? I mean... ouch. isn't it cheaper inside Trader Sam's with a drink in it if you just waited another day?

I hate to say it, but they pretty much know they could take us for all we're worth with events like these.

I really disliked the... well, not so much bait and switch, but the poorly organized and suddenly switched up nature of this event. I was expecting something else.
