COASTER FREAK 11 5 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 That is REALLY odd. I wonder if this will be finally be a lower priced hotel for the resort. Link to post Share on other sites
SharkTums 142 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I'm assuming that maybe this will be some sort of more 'value' option? Maybe not include the early entry or certain perks. It does seem a bit far away and that timeline to turn it into an 'Official' hotel seems awfully short. Link to post Share on other sites
Nrthwnd 59 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 That's a heck of a distance for any shuttle bus to go. Maybe that's not going to be a part of this new hotel. Link to post Share on other sites
COASTER FREAK 11 5 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 ^Its only about a 15 minute journey, not too bad. And given its location, they could ahve some sort of future plans for the larger area as a whole. Link to post Share on other sites
Nrthwnd 59 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 ^ Oooo another monorail connection! (just wishing) Link to post Share on other sites
larrygator 7 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Maybe a boat shuttle to the park? Link to post Share on other sites
Nrthwnd 59 Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 (edited) ^ Actually, that looks pretty possible, looking at the map etc. Which would be a cool transport to the Resort. Maybe they could/would add another station (corner of where Scandi-Arendelle is ending up) for them to first disembark the boat, then get on the monorail to the parks.

PeoplemoverMatt 1 Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Interesting that they chose a hotel so far away from the park... No kidding Robb. Palm & Fountain Terrace was where I stayed for most of my Japan trip in 2007 and it was a pretty darn long shuttle ride. 15 minutes sounds about right but took longer if traffic lights and such worked against you. The feeling of immersion was gone as the shuttle traveled through some interesting neighboring areas. I remember at some point passing something that resembled a fishery. However, they tried their best to keep it going with a TV in the bus playing various Tokyo Disney Resort promo material including a song I'm sure anyone who's been to TDR is familiar with, "This is the plaaaaaaaaaace..." Even though a bus was needed, and will be to ferry people to/from this hotel, I enjoyed the fact that there was a schedule and they were consistently hitting it right on the minute like a train. Just goes to show that everything's better at Tokyo Disney, even the bus to your hotel! Oh, and here's some photos of the actual Palm Terrace from my 2007 trip. I'd have taken more but I was actually dealing with a mild concussion from whacking the back of my head on Joypolis' Spin Bullet ride. Thank heavens for the little 7-11 style store that had some really cold drinks! Fun little courtyard in the middle of the hotel. Will be interesting to see what becomes of this. More "Tokyo Disney" coming soon here! Here's a look at the main entrance, and a glimpse of the shuttle bus that took us to/from Tokyo Disney Resort. Link to post Share on other sites
SharkTums 142 Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 ^Thanks for the insight. And of course the buses run on time and on a schedule!!! It's JAPAN!!! Link to post Share on other sites
Garet 46 Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Coca cola hot dogs are a Tokyo Disney thing now: http://kotaku.com/tokyo-disneyland-has-coke-flavored-hot-dogs-kind-of-1735606521 Didn't HKDL also change one of it's main street restaurants to have coca-cola themed items? I don't remember the name but it was the place that did this for dessert. I think it was a few months after I took this that they changed up the menu to coca-cola flavoured things. Edit: It was the Corner Cafe: https://www.hongkongdisneyland.com/dining/hong-kong-disneyland-park/main-street-corner-cafe/ Link to post Share on other sites
jray21 0 Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 That's awesome! I'd love to try a coca-cola hot dog. Link to post Share on other sites
Nrthwnd 59 Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 I think the second photo was posted on a HKDL blog of some kind, but it was announcing the Corner Cafe having new menus which included Coca Cola as part of a few recipes. I was there in Sept. of 2012, and it wasn't branded by Coca Cola at that time. One of what they offered - Coca Cola Creme Brulee'. Would you have one of these? (o; My last day at the park, with a nice meal here at the Main Street Corner Cafe - - with no little Coca Cola sign under it...yet. (Sept.30-2012) Link to post Share on other sites
Garet 46 Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 It was still just plain old Corner Cafe in September 2013 as well. Link to post Share on other sites

Nrthwnd 59 Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 The Beef Cheek with the roasted root veggies (and the Coca Cola bbq sauce) looks really nice. I'd try that. Link to post Share on other sites
SharkTums 142 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 For a different kind of thrill, Tower of Terror: Level 13 “Shadow of Shiriki”, a scarier version of the attraction adds an extra terrifying touch for guests. Um, anyone know anything about this??!!?!? Link to post Share on other sites
COASTER FREAK 11 5 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Well, I just rode it 10 days ago and that definitely wan not offered. Where's that info from? Link to post Share on other sites
cimmic 0 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 [youtu_be] [/youtu_be]Here is a POV of it. It's pretty much just two extra drops and external effects on the building: [youtu_be] [/youtu_be] Link to post Share on other sites
SharkTums 142 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 ^^Disney Park Blog ^Interesting. Yeah I looked it up and I guess they've done this once or twice before. Doesn't look like that big of a change but I surely love the name!! Shiriki Link to post Share on other sites
Nrthwnd 59 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 (edited) Just found some new stuff posted at TDLR site for Halloween. Really cool food of course.... A wonderful looking buffet being offered during the Boo Season. Great candy holder! Duffy, Shellie Mae, and Gelatoni get a little into the season. Of course, there HAS to be Pumpkin Churros, right?

Nrthwnd 59 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Just a question, but when the heck did Duffy and Shelly Mae get a pet? Who knows? This may be a best friend of theirs, and not a pet. Still. Now available at TDLR. Link to post Share on other sites
