... and we missed it by just a few days. Darn it!
The new Skipper Canteen restaurant at the Magic Kingdom is scheduled to open tomorrow, Dec. 16, 2015. And of course, we were at WDW till this past Sunday, so we are missing its opening by just a few days.
Oh well, what can you do?

Three Caballeros Animatronics Back In Action
We saw the 3 Caballeros animatronics during the Gran Fiesta attraction at Epcot. Great addition! It is way better than the film they showed at the end.

The making of Captain EO
While I never quite like it, this article on the making of Captain EO is actually quite fascinating!

After Mini Mickey Sink
You saw the before picture. Now comes the After. Everyone made it out alive.

Yak and Yeti Counter Service
Had lunch at this DAK location. Ordered the Korean stir fry chicken and the chicken curry chef special. Was not impressed.
Chicken curry barely had any chicken. It was populated more chic peas. The curry sauce was bland, toned down for the masses, I'm sure.
The Korean stir fry isn't Korean. It is more of a sweet and slightly spicy chicken. It is what you expect at a Panda Express.
I'd rather go to Flame Tree. Probably won't be coming back to this place. And oh, they don't accept Apple Pay.

Did You Get Your Final JC Penney Snowglobe?
We were at JC Penney half an hour before they gave out the snowglobe. We weren't taking any chances. Unfortunately, from what we have gathered, a few stores got a pathetic amount of snowglobes, while others got their large allotment. We were at one of those that got very few, and the employee who were about to hand them out apologized to us for them not having that many.
JC Penney: what the hell were you thinking? You advertised that this was going to be the last snow globe given away. Don't you think that there will be a frenzy of people who would want this? What's the big idea of sending that few to some of the stores?! Is this a result of how disconnected you are with your customer base the same way you've been doing with the rest of your business? Really now!
In any case, this is the last JC Penney snowglobe:
Initially, I wasn't planning on displaying the snowglobes this year as part of the holiday decorations. But since this is the last one, I decided to bring all of them out. So here they are, in full display, starting with the first one from 2002.
All I can say is that whatever JC Penney is planning on doing next year, if it is not a Disney-related giveaway, then there is no more reason to go there during Black Friday.

Final Year For JC Penny Disney Snowglobes
I just read a news report that this is the final year that JC Penny will give out the Disney snowglobes.
I wonder if there will be another Facebook campaign to bring this back like last time they halted the snowglobes...
Zz.
Instead of cancelling the tradition without notice, Penney is letting customers who want to complete their collection know that this will be the final year.
Penney stores will distribute the snow globes starting at 3 p.m. on Black Friday while supplies last.
The tradition started in 2002. There are plans to start something new next year, said Mary Beth West, Penney’s chief marketing officer.
I wonder if there will be another Facebook campaign to bring this back like last time they halted the snowglobes...

Captain EO At Epcot To End On December 6
I must admit, it has lasted longer than I anticipated.
Disney has announced that Captain EO at Epcot will end on Dec. 6, this time, for good. So any of you Michael Jackson fanatics out there want to catch this, do it soon or you will have to go to Disneyland Resort to see it.
I think I am more enthusiastic about seeing that Disney and Pixar shorts, than Captain EO. So to me, this is a good thing.

Disney has announced that Captain EO at Epcot will end on Dec. 6, this time, for good. So any of you Michael Jackson fanatics out there want to catch this, do it soon or you will have to go to Disneyland Resort to see it.
On their official parks blog, Disney World announced that the legendary attraction would be closing once more – and this time for good. The attraction had closed previously for a special preview of Disney's Tomorrowland, but the Francis Ford Coppola directed short film returned after that limited engagement had ended. Thankfully, if you're a Disneyland patron, it looks like the show will still be running as usual, as this closure is only listed for Epcot's version of the show so far.
The attraction that's replacing the science fiction musical is the brand new “Disney & Pixar Short Film Festival,” a new show that will take three animated short films from the two studio's canons and convert them into a 4D experience. Needless to say, this is probably going to make fans on the East Coast more than a little upset, as the attraction's return was received quite well by the park's guests. Part of that response was due to the nostalgia factor, as the attraction had been removed since 1994, in favor of the then new Honey, We Shrunk The Audience.
I think I am more enthusiastic about seeing that Disney and Pixar shorts, than Captain EO. So to me, this is a good thing.
