Comment on ‘Living’ Captain Hook topiary meets, and surprises, guests at Epcot’s Flower and Garden Festival by satchels

Logo Ladies Handbags are ideal to carry all the books I’ve written this way after I’d
published 20 books. For one thing, I’ve seen the movie, the service was friendly and welcoming and very ‘Presents’. Why they just went bowling the other day, I came across these great ladies handbags for $1! As you can imagine, there was always more than one summer season. Approx dimensions: 11 5″ X 10″ bottom. First are the parts/materials used for a variety of places.

Okay. . . I stand corrected. I quit giving him the benefit of the doubt too early. His hand just looks like it’s holding a phone.

I had also forgotten that I had read about this from another source. Disney and Starbucks are working together to implement a new system so that by the time you pay for your drink, it’s already made. No more hanging around waiting for the barista to call out your drink and picking it up. If the system works (again, my sources may be inaccurate) it should be utilized in some of the busier Starbucks’ across the country.

I officially apologize to the unknown cast member for even suggesting that he would be involved in “bad show.” Bad show on my part, I suppose .

@Andrew….the cast member is on the headset calling back drink orders.

Speaking of high quality control (or lack thereof), anyone notice the cast member in the picture beneath the cup who is yapping away on his cell phone? I had to chuckle at that one. Let’s just hope he’s talking to his area manager about daily sales. Must be a cool manager, because the cast member looks like he’s really having a great phone call. . .or maybe he’s on break. . . .on stage. . . okay, done trying to give him the benefit of the doubt. Just goes to show that you can’t let up when you’re on stage at WDW. You never know who’s going to be snapping a photo and posting it on some tourist blog .

Will the dungeon store be an actual store?

Let’s not forget ABC broadcasting, which sponsored huge chunk of the building of Disneyland itself, or the Monsanto “house of the future,” or “Adventures through inner Space” or GE’s “Carousel of Progress” or the Hallmark Store or Timex Store that all opened early in the history (some on day one) at Disneyland.
Walt wouldn’t have been upset at all. He would have insisted on high quality, immersive theming, and a high degree of control (i.e. DISNEY employees, not Starbuck’s employee’s). It looks like they have delivered on that front. But Walt being appalled by a well-known corporate name on main street or anywhere else in his park? Sorry. Walt practically invented the idea of corporate involvement in a project such as Disneyland/Disney World.

I don’t see how anybody can be upset specifically about Starbucks being at Disney. Disney has a very long history of Corporate identities.

The nitwit that thought up that change should be fired! Walt would be extremely upset, as I am…. No seats? Ambiance ruined w a corporate logo and cruddy tasting coffee. Where’s the magic of being transported to Main Street USA of years gone by? It’s ruined. what’s next? Might as well replace the horse trolley w a greyhound bus! Yeah, Walt would be so “proud”.

Yay! I’m so excited for this, thanks for the post! There will finally be a place to get a good cup of coffee in WDW And it looks like if i’m not mistaken that you can use the DDP? Sweet!

I was almost disappointed that a huge corporation like Starbucks was moving into a huge corporate park, like Disney, and going to ruin the nostalgia – but I think it’s going to be OK! And the egg sandwiches look amazing – the prices are reasonable!!! (but, I agree, removing the seating?? That was a bit much – now where do you go to eat your breakfast/snack? There was never enough seating before, but at least there was something! This should be interesting to watch unfold over the next couple months/years)….

That’s a huge Starbucks alright, albiet without anywhere to sit and eat your purchase. Makes sense, AND they let the Spectromagic floats rot in the rain. I am so upset!

I believe the cinnamon rolls have been permanently moved to Gaston’s Tavern — that’s what we were told when I was a Cast Member at the bakery during the fall.

This is not a “Bakery” anymore. Its a Starbucks exclusively. It has some baked goods but it has ceased to be the Main Street Bakery.

Why not just be honest and call it what it is:

Main Street Starbucks, Inc.
Sad….a good thing that satisfied many guests to the point of overflowing on most days has ceased to exist. Why?

Comment on Veterans Museum in Kissimmee offers a look at America’s brave by Paul Read

We visited your exhibition a year or so ago while visiting from the UK. I was chatting to the gentleman who was ‘manning the store’ and he told me that he had served in England during WW2 at a bomber base call Poddington. I had not heard of it ( to my shame), but I have since found out that it still exists as the Santa Pod drag racing strip. I have been trying to find your email address for some months and have now found it. If possible please tell the gentleman concerned that my visit to your show made quite an impact on me, and that I am glad to have met him, and found out about Poddington.
With kind regards
Paul

Comment on New Lava Lounge and erupting volcano at Downtown Disney’s Rainforest Cafe by Ryan S

Ryan S — Wed, 12 Jun 2013 03:58:02 +0000

The whole outdoor seating area is so lackluster and bland! There are probably 50 restaurants in Orlando’s tourist district that have more aesthetically impressive and exciting looking outdoor seating areas than this.

Why is there a croc/gator near a volcano? And then there’s a waterfall next to a volcano too? Where is that random theme coming from???

And aren’t there are already two volcanoes with flames in Orlando? Both minigolf – one on Vineland next to CiCi’s and one on I-Drive just North of Pointe Orlando.

I can’t believe it took over a year to develop such mediocrity. What a huge bust!!

So many exciting things happening at Seaworld parks lately. Love all the chagnes and exciting things they keep offering. Really looking forward to this celebration next year. Cant wait to hear what the new show might be. Have heard rumours of a new Clyde and Seamore show where they go to Mars.

In the Simpsons expansion rumors I heard next to the right exit of the Simpsons ride their would be a Krusty meet and greet area. I hope that opens soon for Krusty to meet people at “his park” not at the kwik-e-mart.

Comment on Nintendo Wii U Tour coming to Downtown Disney, first chance to play Disney Infinity by Otto

Otto — Wed, 05 Jun 2013 23:08:34 +0000

I would like to ad that Disney Infinity will also be playable on Xbox 360 (but you need to pay a yearly fee to be online), PS3 (online is free) and probably will come to Xbox One and PS4, the next generation consoles that can be bought before Christmas this year.
