Bonjour, my foodie friends! This weekwe heard about the Disney Dream’s exclusive adults-only restaurant — Remy! If you’re booked for a Disney Dream cruise, I’d love to hear if Remy will make the cut for your dining arrangements. (Check out the full press release and photos at StitchKingdom)
And don’t forget — Disneyland’s Food and Wine Festival starts THIS COMING WEEKEND! (Check out DisneyGeek’s cool pic of the Festival Showplace banners!) You know I’m gonna be there in just two short weeks to start my reporting, but in the meantime, check out all the exciting events that are scheduled to take place: Disney’s 2010 California Food and Wine Festival.
Finally, I want to take a moment to thank and “toast” a brilliant person, Alain Littaye, who has written one of my favorite Disney-related blogs, Disney and More, for three years. I’m sad to see the blog end, Alain, but I look forward to seeing your stamp on many Disney-related projects in the future. Thank you for sharing your immense knowledge of and interest in Disney with your readers.
And now, on with the Round-Up!

You definitely do not need speaking lessons AJ… you sounded great on the show!
AJ says
Thanks, Matt. It’s always such a blast to work with you guys!
chris says
AJ, you did great on the show! I had it on yesterday and didn’t know you were on there, so it was a surprise. They should have you on more often!
Sad to hear about Goodings. The place was terrible and overpriced but the people who work there are really great and I hope they’ll find employment elsewhere.
Thanks for linking to the Chip and Co article.
AJ says
Chris — Thanks, my friend. Yep, I’m sad to hear about the Goodings as well. And the Chip and Co article was great as usual — your brand of deep reporting is always welcome.
Chris K says
I’m going to be honest. At first glance I thought that image was some gum stuck to the side of a bluetooth headset. I guess I was wrong!
AJ says
Chris K — Ha! I’ve heard that from a couple of people! 😉
