Jessica Rabbit is no longer in the trunk of the car and will be taking on a new detective based role within the attraction. What do you think to these changes? Good, bad or simply just needed?
Carnation Cafe Re-opens
Staying in Disneyland we have seen the re-opening of one of Michelle's favourite eating establishments Carnation Cafe.

Although the re-opening menu is a little scaled back to what we are used to we can all agree it is great to see this back operating.
But did you know that this was originally called Carnation Cafe Ice-cream Parlour when it opened in 1955, and was sponsored by of course, Carnation. We take a look back at the original menu to see what was on offer, have a giggle at the prices and compare to today's offerings.
Eating in Space
And from the past we jettison off into the future over at Epcot's brand new (and long time coming) restaurant Space 220 which opened on 20th September rather appropriately. The restaurant is set a virtual 220 miles above Epcot within the Centauri Space Station and can be reached by way of a 'space elevator'.

This can all be enjoyed while gazing out into space and taking in the comings and goings of a space station. Keep a look out for a spacedog, surfing astronaut and of course hidden Mickeys. |
