[Tigger's ally]

There is a dedicated thread in the Disneyland section. But I may have to provide a first hand report on this sometime this week.

Hope they make a desert one that includes the rum!

agree that breakfast is lacking at the parks. One would think a breakfast kiosk outside the gate of each park would be plenty busy for rope drop etc, even if it closed at 10am or so.

Are the added breakfast offerings lately at Disney Springs generally to serve people who work there? I wouldn't think there are too many visitors going to DS for breakfast. The parks really need increased breakfast offerings - have for a long time now - but never get it.

I wonder if people going to Typhoon Lagoon would plan breakfast there on their way over since you need to change buses at DS.

Agreed. A kiosk/stand selling coffee, breakfast sandwiches and donuts/bagels/croissants/muffins just outside the gates seems like a no-brainer.

For me to consider doing that, there would have to be a location right near the bus loop serving breakfast. I wouldn't walk all the way to, say Wolfgang Puck Express and back.

For the runDisney folks out there like me they have pushed back all registrations until further notice. They will have more info on June 1st. Many are speculating Disney is moving away from Active.com for registrations.

LOL, oh, runDisney...

Their IT can barely handle, well, anything - it 100% cannot handle doing race registrations. I hope for all of the runners' sake that they are just exploring other options with other companies and not actually choosing to try to do it in-house.

I think they already tried with Wine and Dine and it wasn't ready. If this is a standalone site they could be okay. If they connect this to My Disney Experience or something that could be a problem...

I think Disney feels like the Joffery's cart serves that purpose. I don't really care for any of their items. I want a warm bacon, egg and cheese sandwich!!

No kidding-so obvious killing time for FoP etc.

AK has one outside and we use it often, just wish it had breakfast sandwiches as well as coffee danish stuff.

Its a long way back to the breakfast wrap at Safari.

There is a Joffrey's kiosk at the TTC and obviously Main St is now open early and you can get to the Starbucks there. But agree, even just more places to get decent coffee before rope drop at the other parks would be nice

Marvel’s Spider-Man for PS4 Release Date Announced, Pre-Order Available Now

As if God of War wasn't enough to be excited about, everything about the upcoming Spider-Man game looks fantastic. As this game isn't a movie or comic-book tie-in, Insomniac Studios was able to take their time and release the game when ready. This is a potential Game of the Year. A video was released today focusing on the web traversal mechanics and it looks like they nailed it

I can't believe there isn't anywhere on property to get a chicken biscuit. At least not that I've ever seen or heard of.

wow, that was cool when they zoomed out to show you how they construct it to fit in the "dome shape" - and real time rendering in 4K is pretty cool to see!

Pretty cool looks like that tram or train whatever it is from Solo is in the video.

Yeah I liked that as well.
