Quick Trip to Disneyland

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
I made a quick commando-type trip to Disneyland/DCA on Friday – my objective was to take photos of as many menus as I could since I haven’t updated them for AllEars in a while. (And if anyone out there is interested in helping with that in the future, please let me know!) I’m used to … Continue reading "Quick Trip to Disneyland"

Epcot Changes

Posted on by Jack Spence
Over the last several years, Disney has tried several concepts at Epcot to best implement baggage check as you enter the park. It appears that they have finally hit upon a design that works.

All Star Cafe Reopens at Disney’s Wide World of Sports

Posted on by Jack Spence
All Star Café Redesign When I heard that Disney was changing the All Star Café from a table service restaurant to a counter service restaurant, I was disappointed. I always enjoyed this spot.

Tusker House Restaurant

Posted on by Jack Spence
The first change you’ll notice about the new Tusker House Restaurant is that Disney has positioned the check-in over near the Dawa Bar and the entrance is now located behind the restaurant. This has its pluses and minuses. The plus, it can get crowded over near the Kusafiri Coffee Shop & Bakery (the old entrance). … Continue reading "Tusker House Restaurant"

I had heard that the Yak & Yeti restaurant in the Animal Kingdom was opening today. Since I had just been there a couple of days earlier and the construction walls were still up, I was a little dubious, but decided to check it out. My friend Donald and I arrived a little before 11am. … Continue reading "Yak & Yeti Opening Day Review"
