It was another soggy weekend at the Happiest Place on Earth and we were there to get a quick look at the goings on including Project Stardust, Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, and more! Of course, a nice merch run for you at the end in this latest park pictorial. ENJOY!

Mickey’s Rainy Day Cavalcade

When inclement weather forces cancellation of the parade at Disneyland, they run a Plan B option called Mickey’s Rainy Day Cavalcade. A bunch of characters are loaded up onto Main Street vehicles and they head on down the parade route!

Let’s do brunch?

If you’re looking for more personal face-time with the characters and you LOVE brunch, you’re in luck as Disney’s PCH Grill is bringing a brunch option to Donald Duck’s Seaside Breakfast on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays starting March 29, 2019! Catch some waves on the dance floor with Donald, Daisy and Stitch as you chow down on an all-you-care-to-enjoy brunch buffet.

For Valentine’s Month, the Gibson Girl Ice Cream Parlor served a warm Donut Sundae.

Curb re-sloping on Main Street continues under Project Stardust. Walls around this planter near City Hall spell certain doom for the plants that lived there previously. Will it be removed all together or made smaller? We shall soon see…

Sleeping Beauty Castle is also part of Project Stardust as it gets a fresh coat of paint and some other enhancements including roof repairs.

It’s still a #Mickey90 good, good, good, good time at the Happiest Place on Earth despite refurbishments!

New VS. Old. You can see the castle will be decidedly cooler in color palette with more blues and purples. Make it blue, make it pink!

It seems the flux capacitor is broken on the Disneyland Railroad. No visits to the Primeval World, land of the dinosaurs.

River Belle Terrace exterior work continues, the restaurant is still open, though. I love that the vintage concrete planter on the left has thus far remain un-touched over the years, save several shades of paint.

We popped over for a look at the newly reopened Tangaroa Terrace and it subsequently started to rain. The restaurant and bar were very crowded so we opted to run for shelter instead.

Work continues on the pool bar expansion at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa.

Meanwhile, we decided to stop for a bite at the newly reopened White Water Cafe. Based on our visit this weekend, it seems that the kitchen is still woefully unprepared to handle capacity. We mobile ordered our food and it took just about a half hour before we finally got our food. One person in our party, who mobile ordered AFTER us, got her food 10 minutes before us.

Aside from the backlog in the kitchen, we found the food to be VERY tasty but also EXPENSIVE. Considering the hotel it aims to serve the price point is not surprising but we were unimpressed with portion sizes for the price. While the flavor of the food definitely justified a higher cost we still found ourselves reeling a little from the prices.

20190217_134743

Shwarma Chicken Skewer ($14) is not advertised to have a curry flavor which surprised us a little but it was flavorful and juicy. Served over warm pita with a parsley-celery leaf salad and tzatziki dip! One pita, no sides.

20190217_135850

Cali-Grilled Angus Cheeseburger ($15) served with grilled asparagus-celery salad and artichoke aioli and crinkle cut fries. Very very tasty and probably the best bang for your buck.

20190217_135934

Chicken-Fried Brisket and Waffle ($18) was both the most interesting, flavorful, and disappointing dish. Normally protein+waffle dishes are not served with a side but we found that to be a vital missing element for this dish, especially considering the whopping price tag. This features a ground brisket patty smothered with BBQ sauce and pimento cheese spread. A very tasty dish. It technically does come with a side of house-made pickles but that hardly satisfies (despite how TASTY they are) if you’re hungry.

Presentation seemed a little odd with the waffle on TOP of the beef patty but perhaps aided in keeping the warm fluffy pastry from getting soggy. Everything here worked incredibly well together but for the price tag might not be worth the jump.

20190217_144130 20190217_144124

As tasty as all three of these sounded the wind, cold, and rain prevented us from even considering a scoop of Salt & Straw’s February flavors.

New Parking Structure

Looks like they’re assembling the roof component on the ground and will be lifting it up over the round part of the structure.
