Jedi Mickey’s Star Wars Dine at Hollywood & Vine: Disney Dining Review

064
064

This year’s Star Wars™ Weekends marked two new dining experiences: the Jedi Mickey’s Star Wars™ Dine at Hollywood & Vine with the Fab Five as your favorite Star Wars characters and the Star Wars™ Dine-In Galactic Breakfast at Sci-Fi Dine In featuring Boba Fett and Darth Vader. I have been lucky enough to attend both and so have my fellow Chip and Co writers. You can read about Teresa’s dining experience at the Star Wars™ Dine-In Galactic Breakfast at Sci-Fi Dine In. Her review includes lots of great photographs and information about the meal.

Like the breakfast at Sci-Fi Dine In, dinner at Hollywood & Vine transforms into a galactic feast. Before you can dig into your meal like a hungry Wookie, you’ll first check in at the kiosks set-up for these character meals outside of Hollywood & Vine. I love that they have special labels on the laptops used for check-in that are even branded for the occasion.

Hollywood & Vine at Star Wars Weekends

Once checked in, you are asked to head to a galaxy far far away…just kidding. You are directed to a line where you wait to enter the restaurant. Once in, your first stop is a photograph with the always adorable, Chip and Dale. They are dressed up as Ewoks, a fitting role for our rascally chipmunk friends. After your photos, you’ll receive a photopass card which includes your photos with our favorite “Ewoks.”

Hollywood & Vine Star Wars Weekends

Seated in the Hollywood & Vine dining room area, you can check out the characters walking around throughout the meal – Jedi Mickey, Stormtrooper Donald, Princess Leia Minnie, and Darth Goofy. Like other character meals, they will stop at your table to take photos and sign autographs.

Next up, it’s time for food! The menu features many of the standard dinner menu items that are served at Hollywood & Vine with Star Wars™ inspired names. I have to admit, I got a kick out of these names. Here are some photos that include just a few of them.

Most popular at this dinner was the dessert section, and I have to say it was the star of this Star Wars™ inspired meal. From elaborate cakes, Wookie and Yoda shaped cookies, to blue soft serve ice cream, it included a ton of outrageous sweets.

To add to the meal experience, guests were also given paper cut-outs which could be turned into paper light sabers. You could choose red or blue depending on which “side” you were on.

Whether you were embracing your inner dark side or joining the rebel alliance, the Hollywood & Vine character meal had something for every Star Wars™ fan. It was the perfect way to cap off a day at Star Wars™ Weekends. And rest assured, you won’t be as hungry as a Wookie by the time you’re done with this out-of-this-world buffet.

My New Magnificent Maleficent Ears

My custom made maleficent ears 1

 

Recently Mandy over at Mouskaears gave me the chance to try out one of her adorable homemade ears. Well I love Maleficent, as most of you know, so she custom made me these beautiful Maleficent inspired ears.

I am not a creative person at all, so when I asked her if she could do Maleficent ears and she said yes, I could not for the life of figure out what they might look like. Well when she sent the picture I was amazed. I love how she incorporated the important elements from Maleficent, like the wings and the horns. My favorite aspect of the ears is the horns that are coming out from behind the bow, which really fits me perfectly!

They are really well made and I think they are cuter than the ones in the park. Just to prove how well they are constructed, they arrived at my apartment in a crushed box. Yet when I pulled them out they were in perfect condition. At the parks I had to take them off because it was raining and they held up just fine in my backpack.

Oh did I mention the bow lights up? Yes the bow lights up in 6 different colors. I liked the green because it matches the theme of the ears. Check it out:

My custom made light up Maleficent ears

 

I got a lot of compliments on these at the parks.

Mandy is super sweet and easy to work with. She sent me pictures and shipped when she said she would. The way things are today it’s important to know that someone is not just going to take your money and run.

So head on over to Mouskaears and check out what she has!

Hiya! You know who I am and why I am here! Yes it is me the infamous Anonymouse. Well I have some exciting gossip that I thought you might like to know. Do you remember the Villains Unleashed  event at Hollywood Studios from last year? It happened on Friday the 13th? Of course you do how could you forget!

Well I love Villains but sadly I could not make it to this event. I have heard it through the grapevine that the event is coming back this year. However there is a twist! The twist is that it will now be a hard ticketed event. I know what you are thinking because I thought the same thing, really they want more of my money? But we know Disney is worth every dollar!

It is supposed to take place sometime this summer and tickets might go on sale very soon!

Thoughts?

Anywho, that is all the Disney gossip I have right now. For my past gossip articles be sure to check them out here. Got any good gossip/rumors please email me at [email protected] or on my facebook page

STAY

  • Stay in the Magic – Guests discover many benefits when they stay at a Disneyland Resort hotel. Legendary Disney guest service is available at the classic Disneyland Hotel and luxurious Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa – both AAA Four Diamond properties – and the sunny California beachfront-themed Disney’s Paradise Pier Hotel.
  • Extra Magic Hour – Early Admission to the Parks – Guests staying at any Disneyland Resort hotel may enjoy Extra Magic Hour entry into Disneyland or Disney California Adventure one hour before the parks open to the public. This opportunity is good for the length of a guest’s stay, with designated days for each park. To check availability, daily times and additional information, visit Disneyland.com and click on “Park Hours.” (Valid theme park admission and active hotel room key required.)

  • Great Value – Guests can find great value in multiple-day tickets and vacation packages at the Resort hotels, or at nearby Good Neighbor hotels, by purchasing online.

PLAY, isn’t that the best part? 

  • Disney FASTPASS Service – FASTPASS allows guests to maximize their time in the park by reserving a specific time window to enjoy their favorite attractions. When guests return during that time, they enjoy a shorter line reserved for FASTPASS holders.
  • “A Walk in Walt’s Footsteps” Tour – Guests may follow in the footsteps of the man whose vision and creativity brought Disneyland park to life, Walt Disney. This 3 ½-hour guided tour covers the life of Walt Disney and stories behind the magic of Disneyland. To book this, or other tours offered by Disneyland Resort, call (714) 781-TOUR (8687).
  • Charging Lockers – Guests re-charge their batteries and get back to the fun in no time when using special lockers on Buena Vista Street in Disney California Adventure Park that include options for traditional AC outlet or specialized chargers for electronic devices.
  • Parent “Rider Switch” – A theme-park “rider switch” policy gives both parents a chance to enjoy their favorite attractions without double the wait. A parent who waits with a young child while the other parent rides the attraction may board the ride with minimal wait time once the first parent exits. Guests may ask a cast member about this option.

Now the next step is just to go relax and take in all the magic that Disneyland has to offer!

Alex and Ani Add ‘Character’ to the Disney Parks Collection

 

Alex and Ani charm bangles have been quite popular lately. These adorable charm bracelets not only look dainty and elegant, they also feature popular Disney icons, and are made to help spread positive energy. You can style them in many ways, wear one, or wear several at a time. These fashionable bangles are available in Rafaelian Silver and Rafaelian Gold finishes. One of my favorite highlights about them is the adjustable bangle to fit any wrist.

This summer Disney will be releasing new bangle charms to keep us rocking our Disney Side. Beginning June 5th Charms featuring the icons for Animal Kingdom, Epcot, and Hollywood studios will debut in Walt Disney World Resort. Later in the month Disney Land will see the release of a Disney’s California Adventure and Mickey’s Fun Wheel Charm.

No collection would be complete without a touch of Character, everyone’s favorite sassy fairy Tink, and a 2014 dated Sorcerer Mickey will also be debuting on June 5th.
