So Opening Ceremony for Batuu East was pretty minimal ... seemed like just Chapek and some costumed characters

In the case of Sebastian's, the excessive number of times "cilantro" appears on the menu is a much bigger turn-off than one or two appearances of "goat." At least for me, and for the thousands of people with the genetic predisposition to find cilantro disgusting.

Good point! I was there in February and don't remember reading any cilantro on the menu, but my memory is horrible and I'm generally indifferent to it myself.

I mentioned the goat because they have removed it as a regular full entree from the menu since then (and it's what I ordered and was the only really good item we were served out of what everyone at my table chose), now it's only available as part of the "taste of the Caribbean" entree which has it alongside a bunch of other stuff.

And I am an idiot that promised my kid chocolate chip pancakes on her first Disney day. LOL! Guess she'll survive on donuts.

As of right now the chocolate chip pancakes are still available at Pop. It might be worth the walk across the bridge to Pop.

Well we are staying at Pop. The plan was to walk to AoA, have breakfast and do the drawing class.

If they stay on Pop menu I guess we will just eat there!

Looks like they're on the Landscape menu as an adult entree for $12.49

Does anyone know where and what Lower Bradley Falls is at AK? There’s supposed to be a special photopass opportunity there tomorrow only for passholders. I’ve been going to AK for many years and have never heard of it! I know there’s a waterfall on the path between Africa and Asia, near where Bugs Life exits...maybe thats it?

I think there's a food kiosk (or there was) called "Bradley Falls" on that path between Africa and Asia so I'm assuming you're right, that waterfall is probably Lower Bradley Falls....

Yeah, all I could find online was the kiosk mentioned above, but there is a camera on the map, so I think it's probably right about here.

Wow, a lot of items have been removed! Those pasta meals seemed extremely popular when I would walk through Landscape of Flavors for a mug refill. I wonder how the guests will feel about it.

And no more Surf and Surf?!?! Love that sandwich and planned to eat there while staying at POP early next year. Will probably head over to CBR that menu looks interesting.

I somehow did not realize that HS would be open to everyone starting at 6 AM this weekend.. Did that change? I thought it was only EMH.

I hit a photographer there on my trip last year and they might be some of my favorite pictures from the trip. I don’t ever remember there being a photographer there before that trip, but I’m glad there’s one now because it has a great backdrop of the water/ROL theater/Everest.

It's EMH 6-9am starting on Sunday. Regular park hours 6am-10pm through Saturday.

Passports to the Parks is filming at DHS and Cast Members can be seen in the station and have also 'flown' to Caribbean Beach Resort and back!

We're making progress folks!!

 

[Bay Max]

I actually decided to buy it and just started it last night. Definitely feels like it will be useful for setting the stage / filling some gaps before Rise of Skywalker

Glad I read Phasma first as it (and characters from it) are referenced

Is it necessary to read Phasma first? Or can I just start with Black Spire?

Major Menu Modifications Debut at Landscape of Flavors at Disney's Art of Animation Resort

This is pretty disappointing we found Landscape of flavor to be some of the best food flavorwise on property with POFQ being at the top. Very weird changes at that unless they changed suppliers or something.

So I am just starting but I think you will be fine. They actually give like a very quick summary of what happened to Vi in Phasma, etc, you would just know some of the characters better ( Vi, Cardinal, etc)
