Daily Disney Newsbites From the House of the Mouse

July 07 2008

[WDW] Good news! No longer will the masses be caffeine deprived before entering the Magic Kingdom. A new snack kiosk has appeared at the Transportation and Ticket Centre which sells coffee, and various coffee variations, as well as a selection of pastries and other items. Its located between the ferry boat launch and the monorail station, so the weary early riser can now get a pick-me-up before making it to the park gates.

[WDW – DHS] Sounds Dangerous with Drew Carey adds new sounds by popular artists, Black and Decker today, as it closes for its routine rehab. Those hoping to grab a little shuteye here this month will unfortunately need to make alternative arrangements until the attraction reopens on August 5^th.   

[DL] Monorail Red has finally been let loose on the public…well kinda. Soft openings began at the tail end of last week, with some lucky guests making the 2.5 mile journey around the Disneyland resort. As with many new rides, there have been a number of bugs discovered and as such, ‘red’ has spent much of the weekend in shelter, allowing mechanics to test and fix anything problematic. Its hoped monorail red will continue its public operation over the coming days and weeks, whilst its sister train (or is that brother?), monorail blue shouldn’t be too far behind.

[DLP] Guests at the Walt Disney Studio’s “Rendez-Vous of the Stars Restaurant” could have an unexpected visit from a life-size Remy, the culinary obsessed rat of Ratatouillie fame. A ‘living character’ version has been spotted outside the restaurant in an interactive (well, as interactive as a human can be with a mouse) set-up mimicking that of the teaser trailer, in which Linguini the chef opens the lid of a cheese platter only to find Remy there, munching away at a chunk of Emmenthal. Remy moves and squeaks, as he and the accompanying chef entertain those fortunate enough to be around when the pair make an appearance.
