News Round Up 2018

Do people still care about this? Really?

If people freak out about straws and the removal of a dining item yes they will freak out about this. Personally I understand freaking out. Walt never wanted Disneyland to be a alcohol venue.

Storybook Dining at Artist Point Debuts This Winter at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge

I see it listed on the Disney app, no reservations available yet (unless it already filled up). I’m going to check this regularly for my Dec trip!

 

[preemiemama]

I very well might book this after the Dopey Challenge in January.

I noticed they have Grumpy! Probably looking into this as well on the next trip. I'm worried about the menu, though...

 

[preemiemama]

Yeah I was surprised by that. I wonder what they will do for Lunch and Dinner. I can't imagine it only being open for Dinner.

I agree- it says more information coming, including the menu. My guess is a breakfast will be added at least.

I think that ship sailed a long time ago with WDW offering it. I doubt Walt wanted DL to be dry but WDW to serve alcohol. I think it's past time to move on, personally.

What I don't personally want to see is kiosks everywhere selling booze... for all parks to feel like World Showcase at certain times of day. This GE location certainly doesn't do that.

I agree 100% about the kiosks. I don’t mind it at table service locations but we don’t need kiosks all over selling it.

Storybook Dining at Artist Point Debuts This Winter at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge

Just when I thought I was over character dining...this is now on my must do list...Dopey, Grumpy, Snow, Evil Queen...just take all my money

I will be watching for a date, we are staying at WL in November, but my guess is it won’t be ready by then...

 

[Dean Marino]

Yup - Dead SIG walking .

AP is now CHARACTER DINING, Not SIGNATURE DINING. So WL no longer has any Signature Restaurants... .
We are saddened.... fortunately? Both the GF (3 REAL SIGS), and Contemporary (1 REAL SIG), are a short Cab, Bus+Monorail, or Boat ride away.

DVC, homed at BRV.... Whispering Canyon is STILL great for that morning Breakfast .

All personal opinion - I'm not necessarily right, no one else is necessarily wrong.

 

[OhioStateBuckeye]

Well I guess now we know which dwarves rule the roost. Poor Doc, Happy, Sleepy, Sneezy and Bashful.

Well, Doc is busy seeing patients, Sleepy is sleeping, Bashful is too shy to go up to the tables, Sneezy is a health risk and Happy is just happy to let the others have the fun.

I can see both sides to this. Obviously, the Cantina at DHS will have alcohol, and given the atmosphere, I can’t imagine just selling the odd non-alcoholic blue milk in what’s essentially the same venue in Anaheim. But I can understand not wanting alcohol at the original park.

Yep. I’ve not had any interest in character dining for a while now. But after experiencing Club Villain back in the day, I’d love to have the chance to meet the Evil Queen again.

Funny you say that, but the kids and I had decided ahead of time with the rumors that we'd do this if Grumpy and Dopey were there!!

Haha at Sneezy, good point. Poor Bashful.

Spaceship Earth is one attraciton that has seen quite a number of refurbs and I think while each has had some plusses and minueses they have all been at least "ok" so I am fairly excited for this



Shot it got coming in this morning - makes Guardians look pretty big - so angle definitely makes a difference

View attachment 346889

I like the fact that Galaxy looks to be quite a distance from SE. At least from this angle. It doesn’t seem like it will clutter your view as you enter the park.

 

[MissGina5]

Oh, I just got chills!!! We will definitely try to book this next time we go, after dark for added ambiance!

I’m screaming I’m thrilled!!!

 

[SaharanTea]

We had a chance encounter with her a couple of years ago. She's a fun meet. Very intriguing character dinner.

Maybe you and Dopey can ride over together?

Or run.
