Epcot Changes
Posted onOver 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. Temporary stanchions have been replaced with stainless steel fences. Even the flowerbeds now have security fences running through them. This looks … Continue reading "Epcot Changes"
All Star Cafe Reopens at Disney’s Wide World of Sports
Posted onAll 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. In fact, the first review I ever wrote for AllEars.net was for this eatery. However, I realize that it was a business … Continue reading "All Star Cafe Reopens at Disney’s Wide World of Sports"
Tusker House Restaurant
Posted onThe 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.

Yak & Yeti Restaurant
Posted onConstruction continues on the Yak & Yeti Restaurant in the Animal Kingdom. Instead of bricks, mortar, and plywood, Asian themeing is starting to become apparent. Windows on the second floor are clearly visible and I’m hoping this will be seating for either the full service or the counter service restaurants. The building site is starting … Continue reading "Yak & Yeti Restaurant"
Free Dining, Pt 3: A Visit To Artist Point
Posted onOur final Free Dining Plan table service meal was at Artist Point, in the Wilderness Lodge. I had eaten there about 10 years ago as well, probably on the same trip as the San Angel Inn meal, and remembered being underwhelmed by the menu. I don’t really care for game meats, and their signature Cedar … Continue reading "Free Dining, Pt 3: A Visit To Artist Point"
