Cinderella’s Royal Table will re-open on September 24. No meet and greet with the Princesses though. Not sure if there will any kond of replacement experience while you eat.
▪ Gaston’s Tavern will just opened on Sept. 4 – so YEAH for anyone wanting that cinnamon bun – and hopefully they will have the Antler Breadsticks with cheese at Christmas. According to their menu they are now serving The Master’s Cupcake which previously you could only get at Be Our Guest.
▪ ABC Commissary will be opening on October 8 at HS. They have an Impossible Burger there that is supposed to be great.
▪ Hollywood and Vine (HS) which is usually a character buffet type experience, is hosting Minnie’s Halloween Dine: a character dining experience with Minnie, Mickey, and others. It begins on Sept. 25, but you can start trying to get reservations on Sept. 11.
• Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway in Disneyland was not scheduled to open until 2022, but has been delayed until 2023.
• Polynesian Village Resort opening has been pushed back to Summer 2021
▪ Originally scheduled to re-open much earlier but now pushed back, which I think they just decided to take this crap-time in history to knock out a whole bunch of Moana-themed refurbishments: The Great ceremonial house (lobby) and guest rooms especially.
In late October, the Monorail will be temporarily closed likely due to the refurbishment work.
• Likely closed throughout the rest of 2020.
▪ DVC Villas and Bungalows will still be open. Walkways and Ferries will still be available, as well as the Monorail from the Transportation and Ticket Center.
• Tokyo Disneyland is bringing back nighttime entertainment!

▪ Chalk this up to proof that our national response to COVID is garbage.
▪ Starting on Sept. 1, guests at Tokyo Disneyland will get to enjoy 2 nighttime shows:
• “Nightfall Glow” which is a mini-parade that was typically the evening show used on a rainy evening. But now it’s going to have a much greater presence. 6:45nightly.
• “Disney Light the Night” is the fireworks show at 8:00pm each night for Tokyo Disneyland and DisneySea

Kelli 3:57
I loved it. You loved it. absolutely loved it. You know, I thought she was fierce. I thought she was strong. It was what it needed to be. I think it was much closer to honoring the Chinese culture. I still think obviously there were, you know, a few misses. Sure. I think they could have killed the love interest. Sure. I don’t think we need the love interest at all. I was totally fine with the witch. I wasn’t sure that I would be but I really liked how that played out.
Chris 4:25
I was worried about that whole dynamic and they actually caught me by surprise they’re no spoilers, but I was I was pretty happy with the way they handled that. And and I thought it was a beautiful movie. I thought that cinematically gorgeous, just really beautiful. Yes, yes. So excited that the Mandalorian season two is coming out our houses getting pumped for that. That starts on October the 30th. Along with the return of Mando and the child, who is affectionatley known as Baby Yoda, Baby Yoda! We get some really awesome cameos this year or this season. Yeah, Rosario Dawson is gonna play a show Katana. She is a major character in the animated world the Star Wars clone wars and rebels animated series, okay, she’s a major player there. And so people are going to be just jazzed that she’s making appearance. Timothy Oliphant, who is one of my all time favorite actors I love that guy is going to show up to Mira Morrison who played Jango Fett and some of the episode to tackle the Clone Wars and episode three’s. presumptively it was Boba Fett father.

Okay in the parks, we’ve got some, some restaurants that are reopening. All right, Cinderella’s royal table is going to open up on September the 24th. Wow, princesses, but you can go there to eat. Right? You said that’s interesting. Not sure how they’re gonna really handle that whole deal there.
Kelli 6:28
Those tables were really spaced out. So yeah, I don’t think they would have to change so much in the dining room.
Chris 6:35
So it’s opening up on September 24. But for now, no, no. Princess interaction. Okay. Guest ons Tavern just opened up two days ago. Anybody who’s just anxious for that cinnamon bun. You can go get it.

Chris 7:42
So they’re opening back up now with a character experience. And it’s going to be like a Halloween themed thing with Minnie Mouse. So Minnie’s Halloween dine, I think they call it and it’ll include Mickey and Minnie and maybe some others.
Kelli 7:58
I really like that Minnie is getting some more pub.
Chris 8:03

Chris 8:29
in Disneyland Mickey and Minnie’s runaway railway is they’ve been working on it because the construction is going vertical. It was scheduled to open in 2022. But because of delays due to the pandemic, you know, they’re still waiting open out there. Right. They’ve pushed it back a whole year, so it won’t be open out there till 2023 Yeah, Polynesian village opening has been pushed back to summer of next year.

I thought it was DisneySea?
Chris 9:22

Chris 9:27
I’m really excited about the fact that they’re bringing back their nighttime entertainment.
Kelli 9:32
Oh, yeah, that’s great. Yeah.
Chris 9:34
So you know, I’ll chalk this up to the fact that we’ve really handled the pandemic in a really crappy fashion poorly because in Japan, they’re having nighttime entertainment. Alright. So starting, like last week, September the first Yeah, I guess, Tokyo Disneyland will enjoy to nighttime shows. Something called nightfall glow. So a mini parade that was typically what they would do in case like inclement weather made the firework shows. Okay, impossible. And so they would do this like mini light parade, I guess. Okay. So that’s going to be happening every night at 6:45 there. And then Disney’s light the night which is their firework show. The kids visible from Disneyland and Disney See? Yeah. at eight o’clock every night. That’s great. Yeah. Oh, really? That’s good news. It is good news. I mean, I would have no shot at seeing that anytime soon, but it makes me happy.

Well, I wouldn’t say she’s my hero, but I do enjoy her on the ride.
Chris 20:29
I know a lot. I don’t think I mean, I get a little bit worried when we go through that attic.
Kelli 20:34
I call her Emily though. I believe there’s a you know, some kind of a issue there between constance and Emily.
Chris 20:43
So that’s Tomorrowland.
Kelli 20:44
That was fantastic. I’m drooling, which is great. So let’s hit world showcase. We can drool some more because I am on brand. So I want to talk about one of our favorite restaurants that we like to go to for kind of an Nice meal. Tutto Italia.
Chris 21:02
Oh yes. We do like to go to that restaurant.
Kelli 21:05
So, Tutto Italia is in the Italian pavilion at Epcot. And it’s one of our favorite. What I would call a nice restaurant. The good thing about there’s a lot of good stuff but one of the good things about tutto Italia is you can get a good reservation time. Right so it’s a great restaurant but it’s not one of those where you have to eat lunch at 2:15 or dinner at 9:30 right you can get you know lunch at lunchtime and dinner to dinner time. What I like to do is sit outside on their terrace we did that once right about sunset and it was just lovely. You can see whatever entertainments going on in the Italian pavilion You can also watch the sunset over Venice.
Chris 21:42
Which is decent.
Kelli 21:45
So, tutto Italia is operated by the patina restaurant group. You hit some of these I think in the episode last week or week before patina has several restaurants in New York City as well. Brooklyn, New York. Yeah, no, they’re their big deal. But at Disney, they have A lot at Disney Springs Enzo’s hideaway Maria and Enzo’s, pizza Ponte, Morimoto, and the Edison.
Chris 22:09
I think I read that Oh, well that’s something because I love the Edison.
Kelli 22:11
And so they operate basically everything in the Italian pavilion that’s to to Italia via Napoleon and tutto Cousteau at Epcot. And they should be operating space to 220 if it ever opens. So three reasons I said that we really love it. Right. The first one is the food.
Chris 22:30
Yep, always.
Kelli 22:31
This is classic Italian food not Americanized Italian food. This is classic Italian food. It’s upscale, but with good portions.
Chris 22:41
Yes. Right, oh, better than good portions.
Kelli 22:46
Well, and plenty of options for people like me who are vegetarian, which normally I don’t have any issues at Italian restaurants. Let me just put that out there. But specifically, I have a lot of options.
Chris 22:57
You can do something other than just pasta.
Kelli 22:59
Yes. Right. But so we love the food again, classic, really good Italian food. And we By the way, we went to Italy for a honeymoon. So when I say really good classic Italian food, that’s what I’m talking about. I’m not talking about the over salted over season, you know, heavy stuff that you get here in the US.
Chris 23:17
Oh, God, this ain’t Olive Garden No.
Kelli 23:20
And service. So by the way, Olive Garden is great. But service is always amazing. I mean, not just to the point that they’re on time and they, you know, bring you plenty of water or what have you. I mean, we normally end up getting to know our wait staff there. Yeah, for some reason. The last time I remember I was trying to decide between a couple of the dishes, and the waiter told me get this one because it’s exactly how my grandma used to make.
Chris 23:49
Yeah, he was Yeah, he was really good. And it’s Epcot pre pandemic, and so they actually had folks from Italy working right. Yes. And so when he says, This is how Grandma made it. I believed him. I mean, you just get an image in your head. That little Italian lady. Yes. bent over a big plus. Yeah,
Kelli 24:09
But so any case we love the service, we love the food, the location’s good. Yeah, it’s a good stopping point in and around world showcase. So I always enjoy stopping there in Italy, even if we’re not eating just to sort of enjoy the view. Italy’s just a good stopping point in my mind, it’s not halfway or anything, it’s just it’s a good place to stop.
Chris 24:28
you’ve been going at it for a little while with whatever direction you started in.
Kelli 24:31
Right. So let’s talk about the food. Okay. So they do have a limited menu right now because of COVID. And so some of these they don’t have right now but they normally have and I’m not going to go through and try to pick out which ones are which look at the look at the website. Okay, I got this straight off the Disney website, but I’m just gonna talk about the ones that we really love things that we’ve had or things that we’ve seen. So the first of all, it starts with appetizers now. I don’t think I’ve Ever ordered an appetizer because they bring these massive olives with olive oil and focaccia bread. They’re huge. They’re massive olives with olive oil and focaccia bread. And I’m the only one that eats the olives and I love it. But haven’t you ordered the Calamari.
Chris 25:19
I have and it’s it’s great. It’s not overly fried. It’s not overly greasy. Yeah, it’s light. And it’s tender. And it’s and it comes with that. Classic marinara sauce. Yeah, it’s delicious.
Kelli 25:31
Right? They also have salads. If you feel like a salad, they have pasta fagioli soup. They also have an appetizer called Arancini and is a shrimp and lobster fried risotto balls.
Chris 25:47
I don’t remember that. We would’ve gotten it if…
Kelli 25:53
we normally don’t get an appetizer Yeah. But they also have you know, some some other things which they would call the second course. chicken parm. They have a pan seared salmon with an herb sauce bistecca which is New York strip with rosemary potatoes, and a Petto di Pollo, which is a grilled chicken breast, fettuccine and parmesan cream.
I don’t think we’ve gotten any of those. No, I have had the chicken parm. You’ve had the chicken parm? Yes.
Chris 26:16
Yes. I had the chicken parm and split it with three of us. Yeah, I think I recall that. It was pretty large, enormous. The biggest piece of chicken parmesan I’ve ever seen in my life. Yeah.
Kelli 26:29
Yeah, I recall that. And then so the pasta section. Okay. Obviously lasagna, and I’m going to describe it and then you can describe it. It is traditional preparation from Emilia-Romagna, with beef, veal, pork ragu, bechamel And Parmesan.
Chris 26:48
Is that bechamel man. The bechamel puts it over that’s it right over the top. Yeah, I love lasagna. You’re looking on your console. It’s hard for me to get off of Lasangna. If I go somewhere where they say it’s good. Mm hmm. And theirs is Really, really good. Yeah.
Kelli 27:03
They have a Penne vodka with lobster. I know right? Ziti with sweet sausage carmelized onions and a creamy sauce, which is not your typical Ziti. And then the last two I’ve had the tortellini panna, which is cheese tortellini with parmesan cream sauce. It was lovely. All right now remember thinking, this is an amazing cheese tortellini, and it wasn’t heavy.
Chris 27:27
You know, cheese tortellini is tricky too, because sometimes it gets it’s like a little gummy cheesy on the inside, and you’re not quite sure where that came from. It’s not like not
Kelli 27:38
No, but I think the last two or three times we’ve been I’ve gotten gnocchi. And I love the gnocchi. And so it’s gnocchi sorrentina. Potato dumplings, roasted tomatoes. pomodoro sauce, and burrata cheese. Now that’s where it’s at. That burrata cheese, because it’s right there on the top. Now again, I like getting gnocchi because it doesn’t like overly fill me up that burrata cheese. It’s on. That’s it right there, give me the burrata.
Chris 28:11
It’s basically cheese and cheese, right?
Kelli 28:13
It’s essentially mozzarella cheese stuffed with mozzarella cheese. It’s lovely. For dessert they have a cannoli, crisp pastry filled with sweet ricotta chocolate and a candied orange, which is essentially what they’re serving out at the food and wine, but it’s a larger version.
Chris 28:31
It’s a man sized version.
Kelli 28:32
It’s a it’s a good sized cannoli, right? This one we’ve never had. I’ve only had one of these, one of these deserves but this one I know we’ve never had but I love the name of it, torta della Nonna. So this is grandmother cake with custard cream pinoli and almonds. This is mine. Right? This is mine. mocha tiramisu. Let me just say yeah, mocha tiramisu. And then the next word, I’m gonna say marscarpone. Do I need to go any further because I feel like mocha tiramisu, marscapone. Let me add another word espresso. Oh my goodness. Oh my goodness. Oh my goodness.
Chris 29:12
All that does is like all some of your favorite words just mushed together.
Kelli 29:17
Cheesecake al Caramello, which is essentially an Italian cheesecake with caramel. Or they may be Carmel. Gelato. Now Now let’s get to the good stuff. So they offer wine flights. Yeah. They have a couple of different wine flights. One called under the Tuscan sun one called a crisp Italian white. I’ve never had their wine flights because I always get the other drinks. Okay. They have a Bellini which sort of takes me back to our honeymoon. That’s going to be Prosecco with peach puree. I’ve never tried this, but they also have a Rossini, which is Prosecco with strawberry puree This is what I normally get the espresso coffee Martini, which is vanilla vodka, coffee liqueur and Italian espresso. I’ll have two. They also have an Italian Margarita, and an Italian Martini that I’ve never had. Let’s go back to espresso coffee Martini. Yeah, let’s go back to espresso coffee Martini. Did I say that? with vanilla vodka, coffee liqueur and Italian espresso. I’ll have that and on the side I’ll take the mocha tiramisu with marscapone, espresso.
Chris 30:30
Listen marscapone a cake, coffee and Martini that’s all together in like, it’s all…
Kelli 30:37
It’s all of my favorite food groups.
Chris 30:39

And then if I could just get that burrata cheese.
Chris 30:45
That that is that is the perfect Kelli meal.
Kelli 30:50
Can I get the burrata cheese as a salad? And then for my main course. I’ll have the tiramisu. And I’ll take a flight of the Espresso Coffee Martinis.
