For those with little ones

[denyd]

Was at DLR with DS4 on Saturday and there's a couple of things of interest for those with kids ages 2-8.

First, over in ToonTown the wall that was around the old Goofy's Bounce House is gone. I asked a CM when it was going to be open and she said tomorrow (Sunday). The area looked like fun for kids but a little boring for adults.

Secondly, the Redwood Trail is mostly open with just the Cave Area blocked off. They didn't add anything, but what is there has gone through a major sprucing up. They seemed to have sped up the slides as my DS came shooting out to land on his bottom on the (padded) ground each time he rode it. He (of course) thought that was great.

Lastly, on a sour note DS & I went looking for the PB&J lunch on the painters palette and none of the CMs we talked to knew where it was. Even the very nice CM in the toy section next to the Plaza Inn who called a bunch of places could find it for us. We finally settled for the PB&J at the River Belle Terrace. DS really liked that Mickey shaped sandwich. Later I was chatting with a CM in the Emporium and she said it was in the Carnation Plaza, which was currently closed for refurbishment.

We'll be there next week and was called by Disney about Carnation Cafe being closed and we'd made a reservation there. So, that means that with Blue Bayou & Carnation Cafe closed, there's no table-service restaurant at Disneyland at all! We'll have to go off-site to get a table service meal!

Yikes!
We have reservations for the Carnation Cafe on Friday, March 24.
Does anyone know if it will be open by then or how long the refurbishments will take?
Thanks in advance!

I know Carnation Cafe is closed through March 17th because that's our last day. You could call to confirm your reservation.

I don't recall seeing anything about it being closed during our visit in late April, so hopefully it will be open. Surely they wouldn't make you a reservation knowing it would be closed...?!
