News Round Up 2019

[TheMaxRebo]

I don't care for any beer, but am a fan of hand pumped "real ale" served at cellar temperature. I am not sure if there is anyplace on WDW property where you can get a non-carbonized (or nitrogen infused), non-ice cold ale.

guess if any place would it would be the Rose and Crown - they at least have the nitrogen for the Guiness, but not sure on the temperature

I’ve never found the beer at Rose & Crown to be ice cold (I only ever get Boddington’s). But it’s not exactly warm either.

Man, hell hath no fury like my wrath for IPAs haha

Aside from just tasting bad, they also give me acid reflux like no other beer.

Happy for the update but bummed it's closing aug 1. It was in my plans to watch one more time a few days later.

Well it shouldn't be warm. What we call "Warm" beer because we aren't real used to it is supposed to be cellar temperature, between 50 and 65 degrees in northern Europe most of the year. Sometimes a bit warmer in the summer as it is obviously a "room temperature" but room temp for the cellar, not room temp for the main room. With the current heat wave in Europe though, and the lack of AC in many of those places, I bet it truly is getting warm lately! Or at least, it will get warm fast once it comes out of the cellar...

Warm was a poor choice of my words (guess I was clarifying for those who don’t understand what cellar temp should be). I would say the Boddington’s is closer to that than typical American cold beer.

Absolutely agree. But for many people, when they see "warm" beer they get a pucker face. I'm not a big fan of mulled beer, which can be legit warm. But a good English beer at cellar temp is good and not really warm.

Us too!!! I’m OK with it, but my DH will be heartbroken- like, I’m going to have to break this to him gently...

At this point I'd take a few chacaters marching down Main Street with flashlights as far as a night time parade at WDW

2019 Food and Wine Festival Booth Menus are out!!! (doesn't seem like a ton new)

http://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2019/...stival-food-booth-menus-food-photos-and-more/

A quick glance through shows a lot of the same booths but quite a few have items rotating out.

The worst choices: replacing those two poutines at the refreshment port. Only one there now sounds very good, but the two that WERE there last year were incredible.changing out the Pavlova in Australia for a "Deconstructed Pavlova". No one that wants Pavlova wants this.

The best choices: Lots of great returning favorites, the new ALPS booth looks like I want to try everything, the change-out in China is great because their food was not good, and the return of the Bailey Shake warms my heart (and much of my insides.)

Maybe seats perhaps for the weary "voyageur".

What has ever happened to all the Paint The Night floats too, just rotting with SpectoMagic? I'm hoping the MSEP is more permanent than the 7 month run in 2017 that way I can actually make it out.

PTN is just sitting is storage. It’s had its own issues and is reportedly a bit more expensive to run than MSEP.

Maybe if universal adds a nighttime parade we will finally get one back at WDW.....
