You mean the Pepper Market that took away the buffet? Is that still the case?
Also, the Barbecued Pork Sandwich is now available at all 3 bays (makes perfect sense for the chicken and burger bays) and it appears to be the same sandwich available at Pecos Bill

LOL! I didn't make the connection! That's funny.
I miss Jaws and Amity...might miss the town more than the ride.

What a joke the chicken was maybe the only counter service meal worthy of the price in the MK (excluding Pecos).

Well, if you got suckered into bidding for Disney, only to be rebuffed.... wouldnt you go after their second largest source of income (beyond ESPN?)

Three Broomsticks is good. But it's pretty much serving the same stuff that was there before it got changed, and that was always the best CS spot at IOA.

Sounds good to me.
It's sad to think that Steve Burke could have been CEO of Disney.

Well, WDW1974 has better info on all that went down.
Me, I still think that Eisner suckered Burke into bidding on Disney just so he could keep his job. (And if he did, well played.) Alas, I believe this has left Comcast management really ed off at the mouse and thats why theyre dumping as much money as they are in Orlando. They smell blood in the water and theyre going after Disney and their guests.

I enjoyed MU more than Brave and that saying a lot for me because I loved Brave. I'm just waiting for that Wall-E quality Pixar film to come out...

Thanks for the link - had no idea all this existed. For anyone like me who has never seen this, click on the Tower of Terror and hit play. Nice animated flyover.

You have it totally backwards. It was Roy Disney and Steve Jobs who told Comcast that Disney was ripe for acquisition. Their announcement of an offer was a major blow to Eisner because if they did acquire disney he would be pushed out and if they didn't he would still be pushed out because Wall Street guys would have made alot of money from the merger and by refusing the deal it looked like Eisner was turning down what was best for the company in favor of his ego. The Comcast bid, Roy and Stanley's "save disney" campaign, and Steve Jobs getting ed were what ultimately led to Eisner being thrown out.

Parachute drop is right next to Mystic Point, so depending on the seat you can look right into the whole land. That is the biggest placement issue people tend to have and is the only real sightline problem in the entire park (which is densely forested compared to other castle parks). Apart from that I think having Mystic Point not connect to Adventureland can be seen as an issue (although frankly neither bother me).
As per that green shed, I actually had to look for it. In fact, I actually like it. It's more of a British colonial/Victorian type look (also seen in the very beautiful MTR station) that HK Disneyland should have had from the get-go instead of copy and pasting a Disneyland Main street. I understand why it would create a fuss in California, but the weakest parts of HKDL is when it tries too much to be Disneyland proper.

It really stand out as being more than your average counter service. I appreciate the four completely different menu sets based on regions of the world. SE Asian, Indian, Chinese and Japanese if memory serves me. I also love the four different themed rooms on offer too matching those different regions. Of course if you dislike "Asian food" in general Be our Guest would be more enticing. Went last December and the line was far too long so I didn't bother and can't really properly compare the two.
DLP is next on the docket in a few weeks, it's the only park I've never been to (2X for all of them now and 3X for WDW but one of those was 20 years ago). I'll be interested to see their Small World, didn't know it was unique and I'm waiting to be surprised by all the differences at that park.

Still no buffet. I tried it once, must've been a bad day, nothing seemed all that fresh at lunch

Yes.
Like the news that Imagination, The Seas with Nemo & Friends, and The American Adventure are being turned into festival space...
