I can't tell you how blown away I was going to Springfield's soft opening. I was lucky enough to be the last person to get a Duff Beer at Moe's before closing. It was $11, a bit pricey, but it was so delicious. I was lucky enough to be sitting at the billiards table with two cast members I started chatting it up with, and they were clearly exhausted after a long day of opening the Shrek queue and Springfield, but told me that the Grand Opening of the main building is tomorrow, with the rest, including Phineas Q Butterfat and Duff Brewery opening Tuesday! I got the Chicken and Waffle Sandwich from Cletus' Chicken Shack, which was OK, but I was SO impressed with all the theming, from the wood interiors, antlers to the moonshine and the Spider Pig. The Krusty Burger and the Krusty Memorabilia room were also a pleasant touch! And of course, how can you not like the mist coming out of the nuclear reactors. Arguably, the most amazing thing is how they transformed what was previously very bland with four restaurants total into an incredibly immersive area with more than twice as many dining options! Overall, amazing in theming and a FAR cry from Orlando's! Well done Universal Creative!
And last but not least, a photo of me with the 7 Duffs in front of the Duff Brewery. I know, I'm not photogenic by any means, but I had fun!
