So, if you’re patient and wait in line, at random spots throughout the park you can meet character. When I saw that the Power Rangers were making an appearance, I knew I had to be there. Now, I didn’t know which version of the team I’d be encountering, and I’d never had guessed there’d be Power Rangers from several different series’. This was better than losing my virginity in a hot tub in ’99, or that time I ate ten tacos in one night.
I’m chilling with the Lunar Wolf ranger from Power Rangers: Wild Force and I couldn’t be happier. We’re busting out our patented karate pose just to let you know that we can kick your ass like ninjas if things go down.
Muppet Vision 3-D
I’ve always loved the Muppets.
I still contest that Muppet Babies is one of the all-time greatest
cartoons. When I heard about this attraction I knew I had to make
a concentrated effort to fit it into my schedule. It was totally
worth it! This is actually a 4-D show, meaning that you don’t just
see cool things; you physically interact with them, too. The 25-minute
film takes you through a tour of Muppet Labs where all kinds of zaniness
abounds. The coolest thing for me is that the theatre you’re in is
a replica of the one used in the classic The Muppet Show TV series.
At the end of the show, they shoot Gonzo like a cannonball right through
the back wall of the auditorium!
Like I said above, this is a
replica, along with the old grouchy critics in their box seats.
Grade: A
God, I love Disney. Anyplace where it’s totally normal behavior to shake hands with living giant plastic army men is okay in my book.
This is a picture of the interior of the Toy Story Pizza Planet Arcade taken from the second floor. I didn’t eat here, but I broke a few high scores. That’s how I roll.
Sci-Fi Dine-In Theatre Restaurant
I’d read about this place in
some guidebooks and saw pictures of its interior and knew, good or bad
food, I had to eat there. The theme of the restaurant is that it’s
a miniature drive-in movie theatre. Each and every table is a car,
and there’s a huge screen showing all kinds of bad B-movie trailers.
We had reservations, and it’s a good idea to do so if you’re budgeting
time, or have your heart set on a particular place.
How awesome is that? Easily the coolest interior of any restaurant I’ve ever been in, and that covers a ton of ground.
I like this shot because it looks dramatic, due to the lighting I suppose. Dig the wall in the background, painted and lit to look like we’re actually outside in the middle of the night at a drive-in.
Can you tell I’m enjoying the first day of my vacation?
I think I drank Dr. Pepper but I can’t remember. I do remember I never got a refill, thanks to our less than impressive waiter.
They didn’t cheat me on the condiments, though. There are enough onions and pickles there for four burgers, and easily enough mayo to kill a small animal.
Amanda got the turkey club with a side of BBQ sauce and raved about it. She’s usually pretty picky with food, especially when it comes to eating out. So, for her to gush about a meal is very rare, but according to her, this is about as good as turkey clubs come.
That’s my monstrous bacon cheeseburger.
Was it good? Of course. Was it worth how much I paid for it?
That’s questionable. Still, I needed nourishment and sustenance so
I could get back out there and do the rest of the park, and this was more
than sufficient in those regards. The burger was flame broiled just
like Freddy Kruger’s face. Overall, I didn’t think the food nor prices
were spectacular, but it’s still such an odd theme restaurant that it deserves
recognition.
Grade: B-
Amanda got to pose with the monsters of Monsters, Inc. Later, I played pogs with Mike and Sulley, but they got mad because I insisted on using a metal slammer instead of a plastic one… bummer.
