News Round Up 2019

Is it always this dead at Disneyland when AP are blacked out? Or is it just SWGE fear? Or just summer weekday before a holiday?

Is it just me or is this basically a six flags kiddie ride? Which I guess so are the Dumbo clones.

Not even that. It's a repurposed kiddie ride - it's Flik's Flyers from a Bug's Land.

I would like to point out that it took 1 year and 5 days for Pixar Pier to be 100% complete after officially opening...

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.

Having been spoiled by several Cideries by me I cannot personally stand Angry or Woodchuck. I would love to see them expand their selections.

My thoughts on the BBQ place:

I’m rather sad to see Liberty Inn go. As someone who lived in Kansas City for several years, I am biased towards my barbecue. I’m afraid I won’t really eat here. I’ll still give it a try, but I’m just afraid Disney isn’t going to do this place well. I’m also someone that says Polite Pig is just ok when I see many people rave about it. The problems that come from living in a barbecue capital of America.

I thought the sauces were very good, and I really enjoyed my salad, so not really BBQ. DS didn't really like the brisket. We are from Austin.

I'm guessing it'll be more like a Rudy's or Rib Crib, than a Franklin's. Both of which are serviceable, but obviously not stand in line for a hour to get. Of course, it could be much worse, I've seen many BBQ outside of the Texas-KC area that basically serve crock-pot meat that at most has been walked past a smoker.

On my local metro forums we have a certified BBQ judge that also reviews every BBQ place in town. He always says most BBQ resturants start off really good, then start to slide because they have the choice of doing it right and going broke or doing it cheap and staying in business. I think that is changing some with the higher end BBQ places (Franklin clones) catching on.

I actually like Rudy's a fair amount. I think it's because they have more than brisket. I dislike brisket and ribs. Rudy's sauce is really good too. Haven't been to Franklin's, since I don't like brisket.

I happen to like Rudy's more than Franklin's. Maybe I'm not a connoisseur?

I'm with you on Rudy's, but I don't like brisket.

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.

We've been in Barcelona. It was 94F today, which isn't bad for Europe right now. The high today was the same at home in Austin. Luckily, our apartment here has AC. It felt like hiking around WDW in summer while we were out today though.

Awesome. That one was far more concerning to me. And the wording here is much more satisfying than Tiki.

Seems more firm of no changes than the tikis.

That’s for sure. I am amazed Disney commented twice.

It’s a mix. Summer is no longer our busy season in reality. That honor belongs to halloweentime.

You're from MA (from your profile)? Ever been to Franklin County Cider Days?

Well that’s an interesting casting choice. I just can’t see her matching Pat Carroll in any manor.

Was wondering when @rteetz was going to tell us all to stop talking about beer.

Shocking, indeed, to see Disney comment officially on both the Bears and Tiki. Never cared much for the bears myself, but no doubt there is an immense sense of nostalgia for it for many of us and I think all of us can respect that. Glad Disney can, too.

 

[sachilles]

The two response posts from disney on rumors is a curious change. Can't help but think it's a conscious effort to discredit the guy as a legit source. Either as a response for giving up privileged info in the past that they weren't suppose to.....or to minimize the sting of something legit he might be able to release in the future. Seems a bit of a chess game at this point.

Still on track for April 2020? (please)
