However, for theme park food, still good. At the scale, the sides are great and the overall experience is still a winner.
Think it would be perfect to split with someone if they got chicken.

Review from me and my traveling companion:
It's okay. Gravy is good, and so the onions - but it'sa little overcooked and hard. No wow to it. 😕

Trying the new Meatloaf at Plaza Inn. $18.49. Seems with this and the Salmon they want to introduce some sub-$20 options. Chicken still available for $21.99.
Pot Roast is on the digital menu, but nowhere to be found inside.

I was looking at US Foods, and it appears the distributor might have got rid of them at EOY, they aren't in the catalog anymore.

Disneyland tonight was worse than Hell Week in WDW.
They've definitely figured out how to fully shift the crowds out here.

In the first meaningful update since Starcruiser closed, the #PlayDisneyParks app finally got refreshed maps for Disneyland, EPCOT, removal of the WDW 50th decorations, and new achievements for Tiana's, Tron, Journey of Water, and Runaway Railway (Disneyland).
No other changes to report.

A new sales page and notification for upgrading day tickets has appeared in the Disneyland app for Magic Key passes.
Think it's interesting they say "drop in for a snack", given that same day availability has been poor for weeks now.

As @nicktierce.com pointed out to me, none of the announcements included any lore aspects!
They could have least updated the lore that Bubo Wamba Family Farms started importing with (backstory)!

So Disneyland sent out a "CA Residents: 3 Ways to Save, Unlimited Magic" email, implying a lower down payment to the same fixed amount retail installment contract on Magic Keys is "savings".

This kinda matches with what seems to be a "My Preferences" rebrand going on in the WDW app.
Less "recommended times" more "recommended vibes".

I promise I’m not doing the thing tomorrow, but I visited Free Genie on the app to make some recs for My Perfect Disney Day™️ and they have reduced the amount of priority rides you can select at the beginning from 9 to 7 lol
should i do a free Genie revisit when I get my pass again

Yeah, I have said before that I think Josh knows exactly what levers to make the loyal guests to show up again, and make him look good.

So glad I did this. Really cool piece of merchandise, and the little Tron Arcade cabinet the figure came in is great.
Never assumed it was going to last forever, but hopefully they can figure out how to sell those figures on their own.
