Castle Trash Can Watch has been going on way too long. When is this getting fixed? #Disneyland Photos taken on 3/24/24
For those who don’t know these trash cans are not suppose to be here. There is a pole with a Castle banner that sits in each spot.
👏 Brawo dla "Dwie Lewe Ręce" za rozmowę o Haiti. Bardzo dobrze, że redaktorzy najpierw przedstawili systemowe przyczyny obecnej sytuacji, solidnie uwzględniając historię i ekonomię polityczną, a dopiero potem opowiedzieli o bieżącym kryzysie humanitarnym i biedzie. To świetna kolejność, bo pomaga w zrozumieniu sytuacji. Polecam!
Overly-windy conditions last night prevented fireworks and characters flying over #SleepingBeautyCastle , but even without those, the projections and music alone make #WondrousJourneys an amazing and moving show. #Disneyland 1/2

We found out that they've had a new bread that's been available since last Thanksgiving - sweet potato bread, with apricot butter and cranberry relish. Gorgeous and delicious. Both accompaniments were so good. A much better offering than the prior focaccia bread.
Washington Apple martini with yet a different garnish - I've never gotten a dried slice of apple before. 1/4
For my third course, I had the "Smiling Tiger Salad" - spicy beef, shrimp fritters, and lemongrass-coconut vinaigrette. Been loving this dish ever since we had it for the first time in a vintner's menu, and then they added it to the regular menu.
My second cappuccino of the night but this time, it didn't have mushrooms in it. 😀 But I got biscotti on the side!!!! #NapaRose 3/4
Lunch yesterday was at #AlienPizzaPlanet fka #PizzaPort at #Disneyland . I finally had a chance to try the chicken sesame-ginger vegetable noodles (grilled chicken, stir-fried vegetables, noodles, sesame-ginger sauce, cilantro and scallions). I really enjoyed this, with good flavors and textures among the ingredients. I'm always a sucker for a good ginger sauce, and this one was really tasty. FYI, this dish is also offered without the chicken.) /1
and several people never actually got called to get their food and had to get in line to get it manually fixed. But you could see that many trays of food were sitting on the back counter, so it was clear that the orders had been filled and were just sitting there, and when they went to get someone's order, they had to search amongst the trays of food to find the right order. That also meant that for many, their food had been sitting out for some time, so it had become lukewarm at best. /3
Previously, when your number was called and you got to the front of the line, they would then go grab the items you ordered. The process worked fine. Yesterday, it was like they were fulfilling the orders but then not telling people their food was ready, so the food just sat there. I hope the system gets fixed quickly. Breaking a working system seems an odd choice. #AlienPizzaPlanet#PizzaPort#Disneyland /4 end
Last night, I was able to pick up the new #MagicKey#MagicKeyHolder#Stitch straw clip for a friend. He's super cute, but it turns out you could only buy one if you bought a beverage too. There was no indication of that in the announcement nor on the #Disneyland app, and none of the prior straw clips required a beverage purchase that I can recall. It seems pretty crappy to take advantage of Stitch's popularity to require you to purchase a beverage you might not want just to buy this.
@troy Are you sure that's possible? It's not on mobile order now, but I'm not sure if it's because they're out of the clip right now. They were out of them at Disneyland last night.
It wasn't available on mobile order at Award Weiners last night, but I could buy it from standing in line.
So with regard to the #SipAndSavor offer for #LunarNewYear at #DisneyCaliforniaAdventure this year, I thought it was interesting that they went digital with the "tabs". It's a good environmental move, doing away with all the plastic tabs that got thrown away, but it also enabled them to process everything in one transaction, presumably using the Disney Dining Plan system. 1/3
Previously, if you bought an item using a Sip and Savor tab, you had to do a separate transaction if you wanted to buy something, like water, that doesn't utilize a tab. In this instance, I had one Sip and Savor item and also the burrito, and they could process everything together, and your receipt shows you your remaining balance of "tabs". #SipAndSavor#LunarNewYear#DisneyCaliforniaAdventure 2/3
The pass has a barcode on the back that they scan after you order, and there's also a code (like the security code on your credit card) that you enter into the pin pad to validate use of the pass. Makes for a very smooth process. I expect they'll be using this for all future festivals where #SipAndSavor is offered. #LunarNewYear#DisneyCaliforniaAdventure 3/3
Dinner last night at #DisneyCaliforniaAdventure included me succumbing to trying the char siu-style ribs from #StudioCateringCo for #LunarNewYear with #SipAndSavor . It was really good, and the meat was very tender, and the sauce wasn't too sweet, though I love regular char siu sauce. I also appreciated that they chose meaty cuts of rib. 1/2
I liked the scallions but I'm honestly baffled by the choice to include roasted peanuts on top. The ribs don't need a crunch element, and all the peanuts do is make this an unnecessarily inedible dish for anyone with a peanut allergy. #StudioCateringCo#LunarNewYear#SipAndSavor#DisneyCaliforniaAdventure 2/2
Noticed that both #Disneyland and #DisneyCaliforniaAdventure are both closing early today, likely because of the SoCal storm. Disneyland was supposed to close at 10pm, and DCA was closing at 9pm. Both are now listed as closing at 8pm. 1/2
Curious that #MagicHappens has one listed performance, at 5:30pm. Even if the rain lets up, which I doubt it will, I expect that the performance corridor would be too wet to safely run the parade, even if they just walk and don't dance. #WorldOfColorOne can be run in the rain, though I don't know if they'd do the fire effects. #Disneyland#DisneyCaliforniaAdventure 2/2
Tried the plant-based bulgogi fried rice from #ParadiseGardenGrill , and I really liked it. The pieces look remarkably like beef. After I ate a couple pieces, I could tell that it wasn't beef because the consistency was a little different.
And then I realized that what it reminded me of was the canned braised gluten that I ate as a kid, picture included. I do still like it, but I almost never buy it anymore because I'm pretty sure it's incredibly unhealthy for you. But the consistency is right, and seitan would make sense for a plant-based food. I wonder if that's what they used.
