In a bold move to cater to a particularly vocal segment of their visitors, the Disneyland Resort has unveiled a new dining experience: Karen’s Corner. This comes after numerous complaints were lodged directly to Goofy himself about everything from the crispness of the lettuce in the salads to the hue of the chocolate in the choco-chip cookies at Goofy’s Kitchen.
Sources within the park say that Goofy, a globally recognized figure of joy and laughter, was caught off guard when he was berated by a middle-aged woman for the “unacceptable lumpiness” of the mashed potatoes. “Gawrsh, I just wanted to make folks happy,” Goofy woefully commented, wiping away a tear with an oversized glove.
Karen’s Corner is designed with precision to address these relentless complaints. The exclusive area boasts enhanced menu scrutiny. Each plate undergoes a rigorous 12-point inspection to ensure maximum quality and aesthetic appeal. An on-site food color coordinator ensures that every dish matches the exact Pantone shade advertised in the menu.
Disney hopes that the measure will decrease the number of times Goofy has to appear at a table, hat in hand, listening to a monologue about the atrocities of lukewarm soup. Karen’s Corner features a built-in Feedback Booth, where diners can leave recorded messages for the chef, Goofy, and other Disney characters, emphasizing just how devastated they were that the chicken nuggets were only offered in the shape of Mickey Mouse and not in the shapes of Elsa, Anna, or Moana.
A recent diner, who preferred to remain anonymous but did mention that she had a VERY popular blog about suburban life, remarked, “It’s about time. Now, if they could just make sure the sparkling water is exactly 68.5 degrees Fahrenheit. Not too cold. Not too warm. Just right. But I’ll leave that feedback in the booth.”
The move by Disney to introduce such a specialized dining experience might seem a little unconventional, but as one park-goer mentioned, “If there’s one thing Disney knows how to do, it’s cater to every fairy tale, even if that fairy tale involves perfect mashed potatoes.”
