Changes coming to La Brea Bakery Café in Downtown Disney
If you’ve been to the Downtown Disney District lately, you’ve likely noticed the exciting changes underway. On January 3, La Brea Bakery Café began a significant refurbishment of its current location including expanding the restaurant’s footprint, creating a new exhibition bakery, adding a new kitchen in the express area, and placing an awning over the outdoor seating in the full-service dining section.
The remodel, as seen in this early concept artwork, also will allow La Brea Bakery Café to produce fresh baked items at the restaurant, which will include a selection of breads, pastries, sweets, flatbreads and foccacias.
The café will feature menu items inspired by La Brea Bakery’s founder, Nancy Silverton. From double-dipped French toast and fontina strata at breakfast to burgers, salads, panini and authentic Italian focaccias made fresh throughout the day, the focus will be on fresh, healthy and flavorful foods.
La Brea Bakery’s full-service restaurant remains open during the refurbishment through mid-March. The restaurant will reopen its doors with a fresh new look in April.

Capturing Disney in Pictures: A Fan’s Trip to Animal Kingdom
Animal Kingdom; tiger nap time.
Every photo has a story.
Chip & Company fan Maleah Moskoff, the owner of www.chachatea.net, made a recent trip to Walt Disney World’s Animal Kingdom last September. Maleah said of their theme park visit, “We always arrive at the opening hour of Animal Kingdom and head straight to the safari. After the safari, we walk through Asia and hope to catch tiger feeding time.” On this particular trip, Maleah snapped the above photo when they came across the tiger’s nap time.
Animal Kingdom: No butts about it...
Picture this…Right after their opening hour arrival at Animal Kingdom, Maleah took this shot of three rhinos. ”The lighting is great early in the morning, and the animals are just waking up. Plus, it’s not too hot yet. I love the picture of the three rhinos, and I may even have that framed. Our friends think we went to Africa when they see our Disney safari photos.”
Thanks, Maleah, for sending in your photo and your story, and thank you Chip & Company fans for coming along for a photographical ride!

AllergyFreeMouse.com Announces a Guest Blogging Contest
AllergyFreeMouse.com, the website for Disney fans with food allergies, is hosting a guest blogging contest for a chance to win a $100 Disney Gift Card. The goal is to add more firsthand experiences from other food allergy diners.
“Our readers tell us they really feel more confident after reading about food allergy dining experiences,” said Jeff, Co-Founder of AllergyFreeMouse.com. “We include more than just a simple rating with a few comments. We encourage our guest bloggers to relate the entire experience to our readers.”
AllergyFreeMouse.com is almost a year old and contains an extensive list of tips, planning advice and restaurant reviews compiled by the family that maintains the site. With three years of Disney vacations to pull from, the family has plenty of helpful info to share with the site’s readers. The website also features guest reviewers.
“We started the site for two reasons,” said Liz, Co-Founder. “First, even with the fantastic Special Diets Team at Disney, it’s somewhat confusing to create a food allergy-safe dining schedule while taking into consideration the various dining options, attractions and everything else Disney has to offer. But also, and more importantly, a lot of visitors aren’t even aware of this great food allergy program, and some aren’t aware until after they arrive, having already packed their own food for the trip. We put this information together to raise awareness and assist in planning. It allows people with food allergies to actually take a ‘real vacation’ with more confidence.”
There is also a great list of Disney Cruise tips (contributed by another family), plus a few mentions of Disneyland. There are future plans to add more content for both Disneyland and Disney Cruise Lines.
The contest is meant to encourage other families with different food allergies to share their experiences. Contributing the experiences they have had dining with multiple food allergies is also encouraged. The winner will be determined by the readers, using a “thumbs up” voting system on the website, as well as via “Likes” on Facebook.
“We hope this also encourages more people to invite their friends to view their guest reviews, helping us spread the word about the great Disney food allergy program,” Jeff says. “Living with one or more food allergies is tough, and we want everyone to know there is a fabulous place to vacation that takes food allergies as seriously as you do.”
The current contest runs through April 23rd and entries are already rolling in. Send yours to contests@allergyfreemouse.com as soon as possible to start acquiring votes. Details can be found here: http://www.allergyfreemouse.com/2012/01/guest-blogging-contest/
