REVIEW: Carrot Cake Cookie Altered in Move to Trolley Car Cafe at Disney’s Hollywood Studios

It looks like it has less cream cheese. I liked when you got one with a lot of the frosting, but everyone knows that's the best part of the cake

Well, I ljust be carrot cake and despise cream cheese so i’d prefer one with no frosting, please

So glad that this snack is getting the press it deserves!

In all seriousness this is actually one of my favorite WDW treats so I am glad it found a home, and I don't hate the new shape/frosting ratio. I love carrot cake and now this looks more cake-y and less cookie-y and that's totally fine with me. Phil and I will share our frosting, Sonia!

So it looks like there is no Star Wars fatigue.

Our movie viewing group (me, my husband, his best friend & his girlfiend) is not excited at all about seeing Solo however yes we will be seeing on May 24 as we just feel like we need to see it. Possibly to see how weird it will be with all the director drama. We just have the OCD that we need to see everything that comes out in the Marvel and Star Wars cinematic universes though, even if we think this one will be bad.

I do find it really funny that the main cast magic band is open edition and the Lando magic band is special edition and more $$$. Really shows you who they think is the star of this movie.

I mean, also the fact that he is on SNL tonight and the title role actor is not...

Maybe if Lando turns out to be the real star of this movie we get a Lando movie eventuality.

that would be sweet! use the same cast and call the next one "Lando" while focusing on him.

Objectively, Donald Glover is a bigger name, more well known actor. Funny enough, he's also the musical guest tonight too (Childish Gambino) He created and stars in the critically acclaimed series Atlanta and has been in a lot of other things. Oh and yeah he's Danny Glover's son too. So it isn't just Solo but I'm sure he will mention it and his Lando role in the monologue. He's a busy dude though.

I get the feeling they're trying to hide away Alden whatshisname because they really don't want people to get a sense of the guy and make a judgement before they see the movie. I read an article about him (I think it was GQ) and it seems to me the studio wants most people's first impression of him to be on screen vs on a tv show or interview. I can get behind that, Han Solo is a really well-loved character and they're walking a dangerous line here.

 

[Brocktoon]

Oh and yeah he's Danny Glover's son too.

That's a pretty rampant rumor, but Donald and Danny are no relation. I'm almost expecting Danny to show up on tonight's SNL to make a joke about it.

Ah no wonder, I thought he made a joke about it in a set one time, perhaps I misunderstood!

The other thing all these reports are highlighting to me is just what a monster The Force Awakens was and probably unfair for people to think Last Jedi would have gotten close to it if Infinity War is struggling and that is getting almost universal positive reviews and tons of repeat viewing, etc.

I don't think struggling means what you think it means. Records so far, number one opening weekend, second biggest weekend of all time, fastest film to cross a billion dollars. All the while not be open during a holiday week/weekend. Still hasn't opened in china and really has next weekend to itself as well. First competition is Deadpool 2 set to open May 18th.

Funny you guys brought that up. I just used the 20% on merch as an excuse to splurge on that sweet Lando (Don Glover basically hah) Magic Band this morning and am glad other people are as enthused with the whole thing as I am lol.

Only my second ( well second, and third, in this order I also got that limited edition star wars grey rebel logo and blue star wars logo limited one also lol...) of these that I've purchased other than the way too many plain colored one's that technically work just as well from hotel stays.

Stoked to alternate wearing these and my other purchased (my favorite band) green with classic Jungle Book character graphics MB in the park on my trip at the end of the month and going forward to once SWGE opens next year.

(Never thought I'd really get into wanting to buy these too as I have so many plain free hotel perk bands that technically serve the same purpose just fine. However, I've fallen victim and some of them are very cool imo, everytime I wear the green JB band it always get a lot of positive attention from castmember's and other Guests lol).
