According to a poster on wdwmagic this is what the skipper cantina at MK in Adventureland will be like

- highly themed in adventureland style
- will offer an experience similar to 50's Prime Time Cafe
- the "story" will be something along the lines of Jungle Cruise skippers picking up shifts waiting tables between excursions
- quick service lunch, table service dinner
- no alcohol
- to open by "holiday 2015"

That is going to be one exciting park to follow. I still think the number of attractions is a little limited, but so was Hong Honk's when it started, so I guess we'll see further development in the next decade.

I know it is just a typo (happens to us all), but now I really want to go to their newest park: Disney's Hong Honk

I think that would be Donald, Daisy and Scrooge McDuck's favorite too!

New pathway in Asia

http://damouse.com/2015/05/05/new-pathway-near-kali-river-rapids-to-connect-animal-kingdoms-asia/

This is great news. A new pathway in this area is badly needed. Even now, on low volume days, this area becomes a bottleneck by noon.

Ok, so going back to an earlier discussion, it's the largest "Disney Store" in the world but the largest "Disney" store is still World of Disney at DTD. WoD is over 5 times larger.
