6/28/11 Permits have been filed for a new Ridemakerz location in the Downtown Disney Marketpace.

Mickey with a Twist
9/15/11 The Magic Kingdom has introduced Mickey Mouse Soft Pretzels. The pretzels, resembling Mickey’s face and ears, are currently available for $4.00 at the Frontierland Pretzel Wagon and are offered with cheese or chocolate dipping sauce. The current offering is a test-run, but Magic Kingdom Cast have reported that the offering is expected to become a permanent menu addition and expand to other locations.
Fare with a Flair
9/15/11 Fairfax Fare at Disney’s Hollywood Studios has recently added gourmet hot dogs to its menu. The Sunset Blvd. snack location now offers a Barbecued Pork and Coleslaw Hot Dog, a Macaroni & Cheese with Truffle Oil Hot Dog, and a Burrito Hot Dog. All three varieties are priced at $8.19 and come with a side of baked beans or coleslaw.
