News Round Up 2018

This is suppose to go in the back of the pavilion from my understanding. There had been rumors swirling for a while around this.

There's kind of an empty food store/sake bar at the very back of Mitsukoshi that would be the perfect space for this ... the whole store feels so weird since they did the revamp - so many empty spaces now!

I just hope they don't take away the little gallery - that's always a fun thing to walk through.

I am slightly surprised they aren't going to build it waterfront a la Spice Road Table and Hacienda. Illuminations viewing almost guarantees a sit-down restaurant to be consistently booked ie. successful.

Spice Road hasn’t exactly been a break out hit.

You can't just walk up at Illuminations time like you used to. And now they have a special line for the bar, like at Cava. It's a LOT busier than it used to be - I have to make an ADR for it now anytime I want to go.

Good - we love it and enjoy not having to go crazy getting an ADR for it

I think it’s the cuisine more than anything that doesn’t appeal to people. I surely have no interest in any of Moroccan dining.

Tried it during food & wine a few years back. Found it to be surprisingly delicious.

I think Spice Road is pretty tame - it’s really more Mediterranean- think stuffed grape leaves and hummus and stuff like that. The lamb sliders were great. And it is a lot of small plays and samplers so you can try different stuff

I think you would be really surprised! There are quite a few items that I put in line with what is on the menu at Tiffins - I really think you'd like it. Let's go in January and let me change your mind!

I’ve never eaten at spice road but I did eat at the quick service once and was pleasantly surprised. It’s definitely different but it’s certainly worth a try

Exactly! I love it for a mid-afternoon sit-down/Happy Hour or late snacks before Illuminations. So many great dishes - the baked brie is definitely my hero.

Does she have her own float? I don't think I remember seeing her in it before - however I really was only watching Maleficent!

 

[Roxyfire]

Oh wow, I missed out on a lot, thanks work.

1. New monorail cars, woo!
2. WCC antics gone? Kinda boo? I'm a good sport about it and last year we ate there twice and it was perfectly fine, food was good and we didn't feel uncomfortable or anything. But I can see that they want to to calm it down since the restaurant is smack in the middle of that beautiful lobby. I'm curious to see what they do with it.
3. Boo cancellations, hopefully fans of those shows get some good endings.

No she does not. She might just walk with the fairies.

 

[TheMaxRebo]

They should just have her asleep and the fairies pushing her bed along the parade route or something

Glad that added something but I wonder how long it will be until Maleficent returns?

Quantico was an amazing show it's first season, but season 2 didn't work at all for us. We were just talking last night and couldn't remember how it wrapped. Currently DVR season 3 but not sure well bother.

If season 2 didn't work, which it was meh for me, don't bother with season 3. It hasn't been as good but it's all story of the week and really isn't that good. It's so different from what it started out as and not the direction I thought it would turn after the way season 2 ended.

As for Designated Survivor, I'm bummed this one is cancelled but the first half of season 1 was when it was it's best. This season started out well but this last couple of months just hasn't been that good. It doesn't have that good of long term stories and those that are there don't seem to mesh together as well. Plus a lot of the one ep and done stories haven't been as good as they could be. It didn't surprise me that it got cancelled, plus it's not one of Shonda's shows so you knew it wouldn't last. I can also only guess that For the People got better than the 2 episodes I gave it because I don't understand how that got picked up.
