Rosa Mexicano to open March 19 at The Walt Disney World Dolphin
The Rosa Mexicano menu showcases a contemporary interpretation of authentic Mexican cuisine, including beloved classics and innovative, sophisticated dishes that pay tribute to Mexico's richly varied culinary regions. Rosa Mexicano's renowned beverage program, which boasts over 100 varieties of tequila and agave-based spirits – and of course, the restaurant's signature frozen pomegranate margarita, named the best in New York City - will also make its debut.

Here is a look at the breakfast, lunch and dinner menus at Rosa Mexicano. Reservations can be made on Opentable, initially for dinner only.

Interesting, I had zero interest in Lion King, but can’t wait for the little mermaid!

Same! And also interesting: 2019 Lion King is the highest grossing animated film of all time, having beat both Frozen films. Sad... lol

We left the theater during Lion King because we hated it that much

All we remember about it is that they cut Be Prepared to like 30 sec. Sacrilege!

The live action Sebastian reminds me of Mr. Crabs from SpongeBob. I guess because he’s a live action crab, but still a bright red with the yellow eyeballs.

Typhoon Lagoon Reopening Delayed Due to Cold Weather

Typhoon Lagoon Reopening Delayed Again

Typhoon Lagoon, which was originally supposed to reopen today, won’t reopen until March 21st at the earliest due to cold weather. Yesterday, we wrote that Typhoon Lagoon would miss the March 19th reopening due to cold weather, but we noted that Disney still had operating hours posted for March 20th. Today, those hours were removed from the website, indicating that the reopening would be delayed again.

There is a good chance that Typhoon Lagoon will reopen on March 21st as high temperatures climb past the 70 degree mark needed to open the water park.

Blizzard Beach is now closed with no announced reopening date. It’s possible that Blizzard Beach could reopen this summer should crowds at Typhoon Lagoon become unmanageable, but sources indicate that Blizzard Beach would be used to supplement the water park lineup at Disney World only if crowds demand.

Oh Boy! We need a Toontown just like this in Disney World!
Yes Please!

TRON Lightcycle Run to operate limited hours during the soft opening period

Guests wishing to experience TRON must secure a spot in the virtual queue, or make an Individual Lightning Lane purchase. No standby line will be available.

According to the latest operating hours calendar, TRON Lightcycle Run will only operate from 9am to 6pm today, March 20.

The limited operating hours will make obtaining it more difficult to obtain a boarding group in the virtual queue or make a Lightning Lane purchase.

No operating hours have yet been published for dates beyond March 20, so it remains to be seen if the hours will be extended for later dates.

Wow, makes sense though. I guess they want to nip all the waiting to ride after dark in the bud to make the first day go smoother. I wonder if they keep it for the whole soft open period or just today?

 

[HokieRaven5]

Unsurprising the VQ gone within a minute for Tron. ILL$ is $20 to start and sold out within 5 minutes of being available today.
