So apparently Stitch's Great Escape has been replaced by Stitch's Alien Encounter Meet and Greet. Signage has also changed in the park

Not sure if it's just me, but this almost seems to indicate that Disney doesn't have a solid idea/desire to put money into a replacement yet.

And no annoucement at all from Disney (or is there a DBP post about it;haven't looked for that)? This does make me think they wanted to bide time while they figure things out and figured "what the heck why not make it a meet and greet". It also makes me sad that they used Alien Encounter in the name because it just makes me think a lot more of its predecessor ExtraTERRORestrial Alien Encounter.

I showed the menu to my husband and he was a little disappointed that they went with California beers when he'd rather have a place that has all the top-notch Florida beers (Cigar City, Funky Buddha, Crooked Can, M.I.A., etc.) in one place instead. But I understand that they're trying to make the boozes match the theme of the area, so it's fine by me. I'll be the one crushing some Negronis anyway.

I am optimistic that the beer list will evolve with time. I'd been going to the same bar at California Adventure (Sonoma Terrace) every trip for the past year or so ... and this most-recent trip, they'd not only upgraded their beer offerings (Bottle Logic!), but they added beers on draft instead of just in the bottles, so it was at least more likely to be fresh.

The Green Flash offering is nice, but I wish they'd throw one of their sours on the menu to keep my husband happy.

Green Flash does have some good sours

... at this point I'd take some porters or stouts even


I do get the idea of just California beers to fit the theme and they do have a bunch of Florida beers during Food & Wine (still nothing amazing - even Funky Buddha has some cool offerings I bet people would like to sample which would be nice)

Maybe it's because I live in a town infamously known for it's potholes, but all I kept noticing in those photos was the cracks in the asphalt! Sort of takes away from the "grandness" of Grand Avenue. (I guess once SW:GE opens and that area is constantly flooded with people those cracks won't be nearly as noticeable.)

Disney usually does that to give it an aged feel so the cracks are most likely done purposely.

Figment will supposedly be meeting tomorrow inside the Land pavilion!

Omg!!! I may have been a little loud when I read this! Lol My husband came in from the other room to check on me. I hope Figment does meet! Can't wait to see pictures. I really hope they invest more in Figment. I love that he is an original character created for the park. I never got to experience the original ride, unfortunately.

Special limited edition magicband featuring Figment was released today. This is different from the Epcot 35 one released a couple days ago.

I really hope some of the 35th stuff makes it onto the shop Disney website or app - definitely torn between my desire for some of the merchandise and not wanting to promote people who buy tons of stuff just to resell at crazy prices on ebay
