I watched a video from 2012 on the Disney Food Blog. The price of school bread was something like $2.30 and now it's $3.50.

I've been going to Disney on and off, since 1990, and the prices are staggering when you compare my early trips to my current trips.

Yep. They have gone back to a Lunch and a Dinner menu. The Falafel Burger, Barbecued Pork Sandwich, and Triple Chocolate Cake bit the dust about 2 weeks ago and replaced with BBQ platter, Ribs at dinner (mixed reviews) and a cookie cheesecake. Lots of sad guests.

You might want to ask @ajrwdwgirl - construction might have started AGAIN at Cosmic. Remember in 2014 during the New Hub construction when they enclosed the outdoor seating well they are now adding outdoor seating. So it could be a construction nightmare once again. I wonder if they will paint it all white like the rest of Tomorrowland is being painted? Makes sense that they repainted Space Mountain all white while we were there last year. SM looked so cool as they used lighting of various colors at night. By day I wasn't impressed with the all white.

All of Tomorrowland will be white? What about the Purple Wall? What was the point of their Purple Wall baseball cap then? Or will that wall be spared?

There still is construction atCosmic Rays. I didn't really look at the menu though, hubs did mobile ordering and I knew I wanted nuggets.

 

[ajrwdwgirl]

Kids, adults--everyone! Remember when @ajrwdwgirl and her hubs danced at Cosmic Ray's (a few years ago)?! Date night!

I remember! We walked by again when it was open and empty this trip and we thought about going in but decided to continue to the Peoplemover instead.

There's a whole thread on it, actually It's getting enhanced. Nobody knows what that means, but they're definitely promoting the merch so I'm sure it will remain purple.

I've seen the ticket stubs.

I do wonder how sustainable this pricing structure is, yet here I am with an up and coming vacation, the parks are as crowded as ever.

They have one at Sci-Fi. I have a reservation there.

12 Days until April Fools Day View attachment 271168

Well today must be Spring Fool's Day considering we are getting dumped with a snow storm on the first day of Spring.

Just??????????????????? Does she not live with you?

She can be just as bad as me about randomly referencing that movie. She just didn't realize that I basically have it memorized.

Sympathy like. Are you sure you don't want ammo or booze?

 

[93boomer]

@MySmallWorldof4 and @93boomer one of the websites that I subscribe to says nobody is getting FP+ Those special people in club level that pay for extra FP+ cannot get FP+ reservations either through the month of June. The best guess/rumor is it will close down in early May altogether and not open again until they launch the Grand Opening June 30th.

Thanks for that info!!! Now we know. We knew someone something was up.

 

[93boomer]

I just looked at Cosmic Rays and the falafel burger is gone!!

Oh no! So sorry!
