It really makes sense there, where they basically require you to use your phone for the My Disney Experience app. From what I read online, they were always in use, so I wonder why they discontinued them

It seems like the Disney-wide advice of "never eat in Tomorrowland" tends to apply here too That said, I agree that the theming is a lot of fun and quintessentially Disney. We walked through it after riding Star Tours and were immediately struck by the fun theming throughout. That said, it also struck us as being incredibly dated (I would guess it was built circa 1991-92, post-Wonders of Life pre-TL94 at MK); it stood out because it was clearly from a different era from the rest of the land, but still not quite current enough to get the differences overlooked

Originally Posted By trekkeruss "Wow, that food looks really...underwhelming. It just doesn't look good at all." I like the look of the calzone crust; nice and bubbly, with some charring ... like crust should be. But the filling does look very underwhelming. The pizza, it looks too manufactured. I 'm always suspicious of pizza that doesn't look handcrafted.
Originally Posted By vicenzo83 dagobert: No problem at all. I hope that helped. FerretAfros: It is a little old, but that's the charm about it. I love how 3 generations of my family have been to this restaurant. The food is not that good though. You can find much better food elsewhere in Tokyo Disneyland. MrX: How were the cheese dogs? Where did you get them? Trekkeruss: There was very little filling in the calzones. The crust had not as much crisp as I would have liked. I would recommend heading to Ristorante Di Canaletto in Tokyo Disneysea for good calzone. New Blog Post! An update to our store.

Originally Posted By Mr X ***MrX: How were the cheese dogs? Where did you get them?*** They were okay. It was just a quick bite in a pinch, as we were too full to go for a full dinner. We got them at the Refreshment Corner. All told, we snacked around the park all day and enjoyed: A chicken basket with fries, onion rings and grapes at the Lucky Nugget in Westernland Pizza at Captain Hook's Galley in Fantasyland Strawberry and Caramel Chilled Treats at Village Pastry in Fantasyland Mickey Waffles, maple and chocolate, at the Great American Waffle Company in World Bazaar And churros Then the dogs to top it all off... It's entirely possible that I'm missing something along the way...it felt like all we did was eat! And now it's back to my diet, as it will take at least a month to work off the 8 pounds I gained in one day at Tokyo Disneyland.

Originally Posted By FerretAfros Is the other Hawaiian place still there?

As overpriced as both of these places are, I can't see them both surviving for too long, since surely there are a limited number of people looking for that type of experience

Yookeroo: WHERE CAN I GET THAT!!! I wantit!!! FerretAfros: There's Kua Aina, the burger joint and a Honolulu Coffee Company. I think you're talking about the Honolulu Coffee Company. Coffee and of course, pancakes. In my opinion, I think these places will last for a while. The Japanese are crazy about Hawaii. Eggs n Things near my place always has a long line. It's a little crazy. New Blog Post! A neat service for parents traveling to Tokyo Disney Resort.

In the US parks children get lost too.
Originally Posted By FerretAfros It makes it seem like Disney is taking some responsibility for the missing children. From a legal standpoint, it's better that they leave all that responsibility entirely to the parents, so that Disney doesn't get pulled in From a practical standpoint though, it seems pretty nice. I know a lot of parents stick their phone number in their child's pocket just in case they get separated, so it would be great to have a more official way of doing it

I would have never thought that lost children could become a problem for Disney including a lawsuit.
