Al Lutz Mini-Update: Mission Tortilla's Closing, CarsLand Updates and Monorail Repair

[HydroGuy]

Usually Al Lutz on MiceAge posts on Tuesdays but I think the Mission Tortilla Factory closing prompted him to post something on the holiday today.

Note: Al Lutz does not work for Disney. His posts are not Disney announcements. He has solid contacts inside Disney and is helpful in giving an indication of what Disney is planning and considering. People planning vacations should be very cautious about making plans based on Al's articles. That is not what they are intended for. Rather, Al tries to give an insider view of what Disney is thinking and planning for those interested in what the future may hold. This can and does change over time.

Here is the disclaimer that Al has at the end of his article.

Keep in mind updates only get posted when there is something to report on, and not before. It takes time to confirm things, and even then we can only offer a snapshot of a continually evolving story. (People do change their minds you know.) Just like the happiest place on earth, patience is a virtue; the queue may take a while before you can enjoy the attraction.

What a treat if the info comes true. The Ghiradelli Chocolate store would be awesome. The one in San Francisco has great ice cream.

We lose the SF Bay Bridge but gain Ghiradelli. Curious.

It's not the Bay Bridge, it's the Golden Gate Bridge.

I've never been to the Mission Tortilla Factory (and now I never will), but I think it would be great if Ghirardelli took a spot at DCA. I live in the south bay of the SF Bay Area, but I just visited Ghirardelli Square for the first time last year and the ice cream was amazing! There were so many varieties and all of the sundaes were huge! The factory in San Leandro doesn't allow tours and SF only has some old equipment for you to view in one of their locations, so it would be great to experience something new! Hopefully free samples will also be offered at the new Ghirardhelli factory!
