Yes

Gotcha. Thanks.

Gotcha. Thanks.

There's something about an interactive exhibit in the contract. @ReelJustice would know more.

 

[ReelJustice]

So I know Uni has the marvel contract for the parks, but is there language keeping Disney from turning DQ into a Stark expo of some kind?

Yeah, they cannot do that as @Next Big Thing pointed out (and alerted me to.) I think the generic super hero store they opened confirms this.

Honestly it doesn't even matter since The NBA Experience is already confirmed.

Do we have a better idea of when the Indy Hangar Bar will be opening? Disney blogs still talking fall, but I'll be in town mid-September. Too early?

Talked to a lot of people leaving current jobs last week in August, and I've heard 4 weeks of training/opening. That would line up with a Fiscal 2016 opening the last weekend of September, but who knows, possibly could be soft opens before then.

As an avid Indy fan, I'm very excited but as a picky eater, those menu choices sound as enticing as what they were serving in the Temple of Doom lol.

Can someone please tell me what a "picky eater" is. I'm from the Netherlands and don't understand it. Is it a food allergy or something?
Regarding the Indy pilot theme, it's dumb, Even the plain wireframe holder are dumb, but the food looks interesting and I sure want to try some of these dishes.
"Snack of Ra gives a taste of Africa" is kind of offensive. A friend of my is Egyptian and although they are situated on the African continent they feel (and speak) Arabic.

Someone who doesn't want to branch out and try new foods.

Someone who doesn't want to branch out and try new foods.

Or someone like my Ex, who only eats beef, pork, cheese, and pasta. No chicken, fish, or vegetables (except potatoes).

Picky eater is someone who does not branch out beyond a set of "self approved" food choices due to fear, bad experiences, or other reasons. Such people eat 'only' steak and potatoes, a plain hamburger, or just food from one location. Picky eaters generally form from an abundance of food options and anyone can become one when they find solace in similarities.

Thanks all, that is kind of sad. I love to try all kind of new food, it makes life to much more exiting. When I'm on vacation in Egypt, Greece, Norway, Germany or the US, I always try new food and drinks. Sure not everything is a succes but I can't imagine never tasting a butterbeer just because I didn't want to get out of my comfort zone. Anyone for a raw haring with raw onions (a Dutch treat).

The raw herring with raw onions is a stable item at the very ethnic German club I belong to. They also have a cannibal dish (raw hamburger meat). Those are a couple of tough items. :yikes:

Pickled Herring and Onions is very common across north and Eastern Europe.

Very correct. During the middle ages the European economy basically revolved around the herring and salt trades. Herring was a food staple.
