Introducing Disney Spring's Newest Quick Service Location: The Chicken Guy

Disney Springs will soon be getting a new quick service location. The Chicken Guy is currently being built beside the Planet Hollywood Observatory. Who do we have to thank for The Chicken Guy? None other than Planet Hollywood’s Robert Earl and Guy Fieri himself. TouringPlans.com reported that the two dynamic forces are teaming up again to bring you this new concept.

Guy Fieri has been serving up menu items at Planet Hollywood for some time now. His sandwiches and burgers have been a guest favorite since they were introduced. It’s only fitting that they introduce a ‘spin off’ quick service location to grab a bite and go. While we do not yet have an idea of the menu (although chicken dishes seem highly favorable) or an official opening date, they are already hiring.

EarlEnterprises is hiring for two positions for The Chicken Guy. Line Cooks and QSR Servers can now apply by visiting my.peoplematter.com.

We are very excited for The Chicken Guy to open up at Disney Springs. Stay tuned for more information!

I’m pretty sure this is going to be a very popular booth.

The Lamplight Lounge is going to feature some amazing and tasty eats such as Lobster Nachos (warm Lobster and House-made Tortilla Chips with Black Bean, Pico de Gallo, Chipotle Crema, an Aged Cheddar, and Oaxaca Cheese) and Cheddar Burgers (grilled custom Burger blend with Tillamook Cheddar, Roasted Plum Tomato, Red Onion, Avocado Ranch Spread, and Toasted Amish Bun served with Malted Fries).

They will also have a great selection of Pixar inspired beverages like the 2319 (a Non-Alcoholic Mocktail with Frozen Strawberry Purée, Cream of Coconut, Pineapple Juice topped with Coca-Cola) and the Scream Canister (Bacardi 8 Años Rum, Cream of Coconut, Pineapple and Orange Juice with a mist of Angostura Bitters).

There is still time to plan your trip to Disneyland this summer to visit the all new Pixar Pier!

The Ultimate Disney S’more Is BACK!

Ultimate Disney S’more

The Ultimate Disney S’mores have made a return for the summer at The Ganachery in Disney Springs and I couldn’t be more excited! These ooey gooey treats are made-to-order while you watch your S’more being created in The Ganachery’s show kitchen. The best part is watching the marshmallow being toasted with a blowtorch (see video below)!

The Ultimate Disney S’more is made with two homemade graham crackers topped with cinnamon and sugar. Both crackers are spread with a salted caramel ganache. The ganache is then sprinkled with sea salt.

The Ultimate Disney S’more Is BACK!

Next, a homemade vanilla bean marshmallow, made from scraped Madagascan vanilla beans, is toasted with a blowtorch. The heating process caramelizes the sugar on the marshmallow with the flame.

The Ultimate Disney S’more Is BACK!

Once the marshmallow has been placed on the ganache, a custom blend of chocolate called “Dark 65” is laid on top. “Dark 65” has been specially prepared in sheet form with the Ganachery’s logo. It is a single origin chocolate with beans harvested from the Dominican Republic. The 65 means that 65% of chocolate came from the cocoa bean.

As of right now, The Ultimate Disney S’more is only being offered through the summer so you better hurry!

A Disney Fox Amended Merger was Announced Today

Disney Fox amended merger

A Disney Fox amended merger was announced today by 21st Century Fox. When announced in December, the purchase price was $52.4 billion – or right at $28 per share.  This amended offer has increased that price to $38 per share – or just over $71 billion. The amended and restated Disney Merger Agreement offers a package of consideration, flexibility and deal certainty enhancements that is superior to the proposal made by the Comcast Corporation on June 13, 2018.

The terms of this  amended and restated Disney Merger Agreement are basically the same except that, among other things, Disney’s offer allows 21CF stockholders to elect to receive their consideration, on a value equalized basis, in the form of cash or stock, subject to 50/50 proration. The collar on the stock consideration will ensure that 21st Century Fox shareholders will receive a number of Disney shares equal to $38 in value if the average Disney stock price at closing is between $93.53 and $114.32.

“We are extremely proud of the businesses we have built at 21st Century Fox, and firmly believe that this combination with Disney will unlock even more value for shareholders as the new Disney continues to set the pace at a dynamic time for our industry,” said Rupert Murdoch, Executive Chairman of 21st Century Fox. “We remain convinced that the combination of 21CF‘s iconic assets, brands and franchises with Disney‘s will create one of the greatest, most innovative companies in the world.“

In light of the revised terms contained in the amended and restated Disney Merger Agreement, 21CF’s board, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors, has not concluded that the unsolicited proposal it received on June 13, 2018 from Comcast could reasonably be expected to result in a “Company Superior Proposal” under the Disney Merger Agreement.

However, the amended and restated Disney Merger Agreement contains no changes to the provisions relating to the Company’s directors’ ability to evaluate a competing proposal.

As announced on May 30, 2018, 21CF has established a record date of May 29, 2018 and a meeting date of July 10, 2018, for a special meeting of its stockholders to, among other things, consider and vote on a proposal to adopt the Disney Merger Agreement.  21CF has determined to postpone its special meeting of stockholders to a future date in order to provide stockholders the opportunity to evaluate the terms of Disney’s revised proposal and other developments to date. Once 21CF determines the new date for 21CF’s special meeting of stockholders, the date will be communicated to 21CF stockholders.

It’s one thing to visit a Walt Disney World theme park during the day but to me, it’s even more magical to visit it at night! There’s nothing like taking in the details of a park under the moon and bright lights. That’s why I am so excited to see what magic Toy Story Land will hold when I get to visit it for the first time at night.

Luckily for us, we won’t even have to wait until next week’s official opening on June 30! “Inside Disney Parks” has just released their newest episode and it features all the magic in Toy Story Land once the sun goes down.

Pete Docter and Jennifer Lee to Take Over John Lasseter’s Duties

Pete Docter and Jennifer Lee

At the end of 2018, John Lasseter will be stepping down from his position at Pixar and Walt Disney Animation amidst the sexual misconduct incidents. It is now official that Pete Docter and Jennifer Lee will split his duties as the studio’s animation division tries to move forward.

Pete Docter, who is the director of “Inside Out” is now the chief creative officer at Pixar Animation Studios, while Jennifer Lee, director of “Frozen”, is the chief creative officer at Walt Disney Animation Studios.

Lasseter was being credited with reviving Disney’s animation offerings and helping create film classics such as “Up” and “The Incredibles,” but he is leaving the company under a bad rep. According to an article on the Hollywood Reporter, John Lasseter was accused of sexual misconduct for grabbing, kissing, and making inappropriate comments. The article talks about an incident with Rashida Jones who was a writer on Toy Story 4.  Lasseter made several unwanted advances on Rashida. Rashida and her fellow writing partner Will McCormack left the project early on citing creative differences. Lasseter acknowledged the “painful” conversations and unspecified “missteps,” he wrote in a memo to staff at Pixar Studio.

Lasseter began a leave of absence late fall of 2017 but it seems he will consult until the end of 2018 when his role will officially be terminated.

To get more info on Lee and Docter and their history with Disney, check out the article at Variety.

Iridescent Minnie Ears

It’s going to the be summer of sparkle and shine with the latest Minnie Ears set to debut this summer. As if the Ice Cream Minnie Ears weren’t magical enough, soon Iridescent Minnie Ears will be joining the party! These new ears remind me of unicorns and pixie dust.

Iridescent Minnie Ears Will Be Sparkling Into Parks This Summer

The latest ears are showered in light refracted sequins, which give them a magical effect. The bow a bit different than the traditional ribbon, or plush bow as well. This bow is structured from a thicker material and looks pink, white, or blue depending on how it catches the light. A textured iridescent ribbon wraps around the center for even more shimmer. These shimmering beauties are fabulous for matching with all kinds of outfits and DisneyBounds too.

Iridescent Minnie Ears Will Be Sparkling Into Parks This Summer

These unicorn inspired ears will be hitting the parks this summer, at both Disneyland and Walt Disney World!

Will you be adding the Iridescent Minnie Ears to your Minnie Mouse Ear collection?

Disneyland Baby Care Centers add vending machines

Disneyland Baby Care Centers add vending machines.  As of yesterday items such as diapers, formula, baby food and sunscreen will available via vending machine.

Before this week Cast Members were responsible for selling these items to guests. Now these items will be available on from the vending machines. The vending machines will only accept credit cards.  No AP discount will be offered.

Baby Care Centers aren’t just for privacy.  The Baby Care Centers at the Disneyland Resort (and the Walt Disney World Resort) are fully staffed and feature a host of helpful amenities for parents with infants and toddlers.

The Baby Care Centers are open during regular park hours.  These are full-service facilities and are complimentary for Guests.  At the Disneyland Baby Care Centers you’ll find:

  • Nursing room with chairs
  • Changing room with tables
  • Feeding area with highchairs
  • Kitchen with microwave and sink
  • Main room with television, table and chairs

Guests will find a Baby Care Center at both Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park.  At Disneyland Park the Baby Care Center is located at the end of Main Street, U.S.A., next to First Aid.
And at Disney California Adventure Park Guests will find the Baby Care Center next to Ghirardelli Soda Fountain and Chocolate Shop and across from The Bakery Tour in Pacific Wharf.

I have always found the Baby Care Centers to be vital when I’m visiting a Disney park with my small children.  We’ve used them for feeding, diaper changes (I’ve always found them to be very clean!), and just resting for a bit in a cool room.  They’ve helped us avoid many a melt-downs due to tired kiddos too.

If you’re traveling with small children make sure you check them out.  Just remember, items for purchase are now available at a credit card only vending machine!
