Yak & Yeti Restaurant

Posted on by Jack Spence
Construction 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 on by Andrea McKenna
Our 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"

Free Dining, Pt 1: A Flashback To The 50’s

Posted on by Andrea McKenna
Those of you who read my column regularly may have noticed that I do not care much for the Magic Your Way Dining Plan and believe that it will soon be the downfall of civilization as we know it. Well, OK, maybe it’s not quite that bad, but it certainly has caused dining at Disney’s … Continue reading "Free Dining, Pt 1: A Flashback To The 50’s"

Dining at Cafe Orleans

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
Last year Cafe Orleans at Disneyland was remodeled, and reopened last summer as a table service restaurant instead of the buffeteria it had been before. We ate breakfast there a few months ago and dinner recently, so I thought I’d post a review of the two dining experiences. For breakfast we were there on a … Continue reading "Dining at Cafe Orleans"

Sweet Halloween Treats

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
When I was at the Disneyland Resort last weekend, I noticed that a number of shops and restaurants are featuring special treats for the fall season. Some of them are rather cute and clever, so I thought I’d share. The Blue Ribbon Bakery at Disneyland and Baker’s Field Bakery at California Adventure are both featuring … Continue reading "Sweet Halloween Treats"

Quick weekend trip to Disneyland

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
I made a quick weekend trip to Disneyland and actually spent the night up there for a change – mainly because I was doing the Segway tour which started at 7:15 a.m., and would have meant getting up *really* early if I left from San Diego! I met my friend Patty at my hotel on … Continue reading "Quick weekend trip to Disneyland"

Dinner at Hook’s Pointe

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
Hook’s Pointe is a “casual” table service restaurant at the Disneyland Hotel – as you can tell from the name it has a slight “Peter Pan” theme to it – there’s a map of Never Land painted on the ceiling and some of the tables have views of the Never Land Pool area. It specializes … Continue reading "Dinner at Hook’s Pointe"

Day 8 – Happy Birthday Carol

Posted on by Mike Scopa
Finally the day came when Carol could “legally” wear her “Happy Birthday” button. We decided to try something different today so we went to the dock to take the Riverboat Cruise to Downtown Disney, as mentioned on the WDW Today channel in our hotel room. The CM who was driving the boat asked us where … Continue reading "Day 8 – Happy Birthday Carol"

Day 8 — A Very Sunny Sunday

Posted on by Mike Scopa
Put your hands together because I actually got out of bed on this morning at around 5:30, put on my running gear and went out at 5:45 to run around the resort. It had been at least a week since my last workout and I had no idea what to expect. My whole body was … Continue reading "Day 8 — A Very Sunny Sunday"
