News Round Up 2019

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

Looks like all we really need is for people to not come out for the opening of SW:GE.

I miss the night time parades. Not going to lie, I am not personally a fan of day time parades. I do think we need day time parades. However, I do really enjoy the nighttime parades.

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

You know at WDW, though, they would call it "Characters in the Dark!" and charge $100 per person to see it.

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".

Agreed! I like the idea of introducing some new booths too. Alps is a good choice, appleseed one, sure.

At this point I would be willing to pay for an event with a TRUE nighttime parade like MSEP, Spectro, or PTN. I miss MSEP more than anything else.

 

[Cinderumbrella]

I don’t miss the night parades as much as I miss the low ride times during the night parades

oh absolutely - one of the best things about parades is how they eat crowds

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

I too have reflux and have found it to be yeast strain to be related. Unfortunately, no one lists yeast strain and it takes trial and error. I usually have Rhiengiest Truth in the fridge as it gives me no issues.

Tide has turned on IPAs and brewers are returning to more traditional ones over the super hopped ones of late.

If were talking about Beer in Epcot, lets not limit it to the American Pavilion, I would love to see Innis and Gunn on tap in the UK pavilion, and in the US pavilion maybe a rotation of Ciders as well, not that I dislike Angry Orchard or woodchuck, but there are much better Ciders out there, and while were at it, lets have a Ireland Pavilion put up and separate it from the UK like it is for the exception of Northern Ireland, we can move Guinness there and take it out of the UK pavilion.

Last year they added the piri piri shrimp at africa. It wasn't listed in any online menus, but was there(and very good). Glad to see it's officially on the menu this year.

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.

Cask-conditioned or "real ale" is carbonated. Its carbonated by the co2 build-up from the yeast in a non-venting space, such as a cask, as opposed to co2 from an outside source. I doubt any place in Disney has that ability. I personally would love it, but I doubt most of the people that come would either, no is it very common to have the equipment for hand pulling an English bitter or so. I thought maybe the UK pavilion might (you never know!), but it does not appear so.

One of the neat things I liked was that in AK, they'd have beers from regions of Africa and Asia.

 

[SteveDude]

Not to bring it up again but I am OFFENDED that people would think I would think highly of Sam Adams. I enjoy it I guess but I only mentioned it because it's the American pavilion and Sam Adams is, well, Sam Adams.

"Hand pumps are used to draw the beer up manually from casks. This beer is often called “real ale,” as it is made in the traditional way, without pasteurization.

The beer poured from standard taps comes from kegs and comes out with greater “carbonation” (in fact, nitrogen is used). Most pubs also stock some bottled beers as well."

I'm pretty sure Woody's Lunchbox has one of these!

Dang, I missed that on the menu. We stopped for just some snacks.

 

[danikoski]

I have to agree, and best part is depending on where you go it is all different....
KC is great, love the dry rub from Memphis , love the vinegar base of the Carolinas as well!

I just had some of the best ribs ever at Pappy's Smokehouse in St. Louis. The rub was out of this world and the cooked the ribs so the outside was nice a crispy and the inside juicy. I love Q39 ribs as well. And their sauce is my fav.

However, you can get good BBQ about anywhere. We have some really tasty meat in Iowa, and some folks who do an awesome job making it taste even better. Smokey D's in Des Moines is one of my favorite smoked pulled meat places. So if Disney could get one of the chefs from one of the award winning locations help them set up some good rubs, sauces, and smoking, and it could be a decent QS.

And to give WDW credit, the chicken at Flame Tree is decent (haven't had the ribs...I'm a rib snob). And most places can do a passable pulled pork. So there's hope. And I know we are supposed to move on from the beer, but some Boulevard with BBQ just goes together

Been in Paris all week. No time for Disneyland, but it figures that the one week I'm here it's as hot as it is in Florida.
