We had some fun with messing around with our new Star Wars. This outfit was inspired by Star Wars IV: A New Hope.
“Uh, negative, negative. We have a, a reactor leak here, ah, now. Give us a few minutes to lock it down. Large leak, very dangerous.”
The line outside of D-Street for the release of Star Wars. The line wraps all around the back of the Pretzel/Ice Cream/Bathroom building across from D-Street.
Update: 1/14/11 According to @EPCOTCENTERed the Creatures hat was accidentally sold in Disneyland back in October or November of 2010. (Confirmed)
1/13/11-We found these at D-Street Florida while waiting for Star Wars. $49.95 each. The top one is based on the Hidden 28 9″ and the bottom one is based on the Creatures 9″ 3″ set. Both sets will be out on January 21st at both D-Street locations.
From the Disney Parks Blog:
Since 1983, the Village Haus Restaurant at Disneyland park has been a great place to grab a bite surrounded by the fun and whimsy of Fantasyland. Recently, the location reopened with a spiffy new look. Today the update will be complete as the Village Haus debuts a new menu.
The menu features many fast-casual options that guests have enjoyed over the years including hamburgers or cheeseburgers with french fries or a healthy side, and pepperoni or cheese pizzas. With a playful nod to the uniquely European flavor of the restaurant, many new and reimagined items have been added as well.
Chicken Sausage
Topped with sauerkraut served in a pretzel roll
Angus ⅓ lb. Pastrami Cheeseburger
Angus chuck burger, pastrami, pickles, caramelized onions, Swiss cheese, lettuce and a creamy horseradish sauceBLT Flat Bread Pizza
Thin flat bread crust, cherrywood-smoked bacon, provolone and mozzarella cheese, caramelized onions, marinated tomatoes and arugula-fennel saladI cannot lie, for me no meal is complete without dessert, and the Village Haus is offering a perfect way to top off your visit with either a Black Forest Cupcake or Warm Apple Strudel.
Kids ages 3-9 have their own menu choosing from a hamburger, pizza or macaroni and cheese, all served with sliced apples and a choice of a small low-fat milk, Minute-Maid juice or small Dasani water. There truly is something for everyone as toddlers under age 3 can choose “Yummy Cheesy Macaroni” served with smooth applesauce and a small low-fat milk.
On your next visit to the Disneyland Resort let your conscience be your guide and Hi-Deedle-Dee-Dee your way to the Village Haus restaurant in Fantasyland to try all the fun and delicious new offerings.

We got word from the twitter friend (@keithkrebs) that Disney’s Vinylmation Villains 1 series may be out in some Disney Stores as early as Friday, January 14th. This comes only one week after the release of the Animation 1 series. Steven Miller told use when we interviewed him last year that they would be coming in January, but on January 4th, “The Buzz” had an image that said, “Spring 2011”. This weekend at the parks the Star Wars set comes out. Would they release two at the same time??
We shall keep you updated, but while you wait check out our regularly updated Villains Explained blog post for information.
Once we got over the excitement of the addition of Lightsabers to Luke and Vader’s Vinylmation figures, we missed the rocket pack on the back of Boba Fett. Well, the Disney Parks Blog released this turnaround photo today:
Are you wearing a costume for the release event? Make sure to bring some doubles for trading as we all sit outside D-Street Thursday night. And I can’t wait to talk to everybody in line about Vinylmation. Destination Vinylmation is around for fans of Vinylmation, so we welcome your input.
Nick and MC are battling for the chance to NOT stand in the line for Star Wars Vinylmation. Both hosts took pictures of the Animation 1 set and have submitted them for your judgment. The loser has to stand in line on Thursday night to pick up both people’s Star Wars set, the winner gets to run around and maybe even catch a movie!
