@Aveen. Why not take a look at their London menu http://www.therainforestcafe.co.uk/menus/mainmenu.asp from what I remember its fairly similar pricing, and again not expensive for the amount of food you get. Honestly I dont know were everyone else eats out if they think it is expensive, I've love to know, it might save me money  :lol:

Thank you for that great report RnRCj! And some beautiful pictures there, thanks

Great report! Visited just a few days earlier and think I had a very different experience - well, great maintenance and from the look of it better weather. Hopefully the things that had stopped working were for a reason.

The bellhops were entertaining (though not quite as good as the original bellhop team I feel).

Yeah, I only really saw them being "creepy" when doing the lift spiel, but that was actually a positive for me because I found some earlier CMs mistook "creepy" for unfriendly or sleazy, in a rather typically French way.

I rode it 26 times. :mrgreen:

Whoa. I can barely manage twice.

Over at Cars, half of the cars were sleeping. I decided not to disturb them.

Yeah, what's up with that? Been like it for at least two weeks now! (visited Wednesday 26th Aug too) Is it really broken for this long, or are they trying to save on one CM? Hmm? Surely Zamperla are easy to reach, what with them building most of TSPL.

During Extra Magic Hours, all Main Street vehicles were operating! I took my first ever ride on the horse-drawn streetcars and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Same here, first time!! Loved it.

Buzz Lightyear was fun, but I still don't like it's location.

Yes, aside from any huge thematic complications, there was a reason the old Le Visionarium entrance was further around, out of the way. The path into Discoveryland is always crammed now.

Pirates was in great condition when I rode it. I didn't see one broken AA throughout the whole attraction. The swordfighters were still a little further apart than they should be, but other than that, no major problems.

Ditto! I think the only thing was still the chain at the side of the lift hill not working.

In the castle there was a glass-blower who looked like a James Bond villain. Very cool!

He's been there years! Never noticed the Bond connection before... haha.

I noticed that Captain Hook's ship in Adventureland is in desperate need of a refurbishment. It was closed off to guests and the paint was very faded.

Oh yes, absolutely agree. The red should really POP, this is the best photo I can find: http://www.dlrpmagic.com/memorabilia/im ... _08_01.jpg

Okay, you're probably wondering by now whether I actually had any fun at Disneyland...

Of course you did! You're just a mad, crazy DLP fan. These are the things we love.

I think it was all the waterfalls being turned off that annoyed me. If it's for maintenance though, I'm fine with that.

Cool - didn't know about the chain! One more thing to check next time I go.

Oh... well I've never seen him before so to me he is brand new.

I think that's one of the things that always makes me want to go back - that there will always be a different selection of working effects every time!

See what I did there?

Very clever, but you missed a few others though :wink:

Great trip report Jay, I've really enjoyed reading through it. You're photos and report aren't that bad either :wink:

I'm glad you had a great time

[luke85]

Very nice report, and I like what you did to the castle, a VAST improvement in my opinion!

Thanks for posting this report. We are going to the Hotel New York in 2 weeks time, I hope the breakfast is better. May I ask why you were eating in the Convention Centre, I thought breakfast was served in the Parkside Diner?
I was devastated to learn that the RnRC will be closed for the entire duration of my stay, I have never been on the one in Paris. It was absolutely my favourite ride in Orlando and I couldnt wait to go on the Paris one.
I'm glad to see that there was a wee bit of entertainment going in the HNY and also the band inside the gates, really hope we can catch a few things like that....since we will be avoiding Dance Time with Stitch by all accounts.
Good to see whats going on around the park in your photos (which arent that bad by the way, i really like the one with its a small world in the distance) - I'm sure I'll be checking carefully to see if any of these mistakes are fixed when I get there.
Thanks again!

That's because the Parkside Diner is in refurbishment. :wink:  I peeked through the window and all the tables and chairs were ripped out. Not sure when it will be finished.

[Nala_84]

Aww RnRCj, your report sounds sooo negative !

But thank you anyways, I especially love the pic of NPBC, it's amazing ! And wow, is that a new record - 26 times on RnRC?  :shock: Well done!!  =D>

ah this is bad news, wonder whether it will be open by the 21st - do you think its worth calling the hotel to find out?
i dont suppose there are any other alternatives besides the convention centre? i think i read somewhere that hotel guests can have breakfast in the park instead of at the hotel, does anyone know anything about this?
thanks for the reply RnRCj

[RnRCj]

Aww RnRCj, your report sounds sooo negative !

Believe me, I was more than satisfied with the trip solely because of Rock 'n' Roller Coaster being in such a good condition.  

I honestly did have a good time overall though, it just seemed that for every good thing I spotted there was a bad thing somewhere else. I don't like to pretend problems don't exist at the resort because they do. If everyone ignores them they won't get solved.
