It's all a subliminal ploy to get poor saps to buy more merch. How it works though I have no idea.

I'd buy more merch if A) the merch was good and B) if the store actually came alive with practical effects.

Same. Outside of the Parks Exclusive POPs and some cookies for my niece, I couldn't honestly tell you what my last merch-ase (merch purchase) was.

Is a park/attraction specific T-shirt with good graphic design too much to ask for?

What’s Brewing: Ballast Point Coming Soon to Downtown Disney District at Disneyland Resort
by Valerie Lee, Public Relations Manager, Disneyland Resort

As we’ve previously announced, Ballast Point, the popular San Diego-based brewer, will open its first Orange County location in the Downtown Disney District at the Disneyland Resort this fall.

The 7,000 sq. ft. family-friendly eatery will house Downtown Disney District’s first-ever on-site brewery, tasting room, kitchen and outdoor beer garden. The high-quality, award-winning beers complement its extensive selection of local, sustainable and seasonal fare – salads, small plates, flatbreads and entrees. The menu will feature its most popular dishes, such as Baja-style fish tacos and a house-made pretzel with a beer mustard, along with items exclusive to the Downtown Disney District location. Entrees can be paired with specialty beers from the extensive beer portfolio. In addition, gluten-free options, vegetarian dishes and a children’s menu will be available.

We recently visited the experts at Ballast Point in their San Diego headquarters to learn more about the art and science of their craft, as well as its quintessential Southern Californian cuisine. Take a look at what’s in store for guests of Downtown Disney District!



It’s an exciting time at the Downtown Disney District. The promenade continues to transform with the recent opening of Salt & Straw scoop shop, the newly-renovated upper level of Naples Ristorante e Bar and the reimagination of the World of Disney flagship store!

I have heard from a certain source of mine that Disney is finishing talks with a certain chain of fine dining restaurants to open a restaurant that will replace the ESPN Zone. If everything goes through, there should be an announcement by March-June.

 

[Sharon&Susan]

My source does not work for Disney (he works for the chain of restaurants) but he does know things and has been right about things before when it comes to info about the chain of restaurants, he has a clean track record.

Chili's?

Chili's?

A little bit nicer than that. It’ll have the same audience as the Ruth Chris and Morton’s near the convention center.

Fleming's?

 

[Sharon&Susan]

Fleming's?

No. There is a location within a very famous tourist attraction within Orange County and that location has a Disney reference within the restaurant.

Captain Kidd's?

 

[MrMcDuck]

I suspect the answer is The Capital Grille. It fits all the clues.

 

[SuddenStorm]

I dunno guys... Captain Kidd's is an underrated gem that's due for another expansion.

They even have a star.

Not a michelin star mind you- a singular star on Yelp.

Flaky Jake's is making a comeback?
