Start a new family tradition this holiday season. But, forget the late night milk and cookies, Santa Claus is having breakfast in the OC! This year, Patina Restaurant Group will be hosting “Breakfast With Santa,” for the first time in their Downtown Disney restaurant, Naples. This has been a tradition shared at the Patina properties across Los Angeles, but this year PRG decided to bring this family favorite to Orange County.

This special event will take place Saturday, December 22 from 9:00am-1:00pm. Expect there to be fun for kids and their parents, with games, carolers, a wonderful meal, and tons of great food.

The full menu and how to make reservations is below the cut:

Last week I posted a rumor that had an audio-animatronic figure of Disney Board Member and Apple Co-Founder Steve Jobs inside the updated Spaceship Earth attraction at Epcot. Well now the ride has opened to the public for some limited previews and looks like the animatronic figure is much closer in semblance to the other Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak than Steve Jobs. The reason I’m voting that the figure is ‘Woz’ is that it makes more sense to the story of the revised attraction and imagineers are all about ‘the story’.

The new story of Spaceship Earth focuses more on Innovation than Communication. Since the figure is seating in front of a proto-type computer (although Woz and Job’s first computer looked significantly different) and Woz was the technical genius, he gets my vote. Plus as Gizmodo says, the figure is wearing a striped shirt as Woz was in a similarly posed picture, Jobs appears to like solids (and turtlenecks).

Of course, I reserve the right to change my mind once I’ve been on the attraction myself. My attempts to catch a soft opening yesterday failed.

A new poster for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull has been released into the wild. This poster evokes some of the great stylings from the classic Indiana Jones posters. The poster also lets us know the release date for the film - May 22.

Definitely looking forward to this one and what sort of changes or additions we might see to Disney’s Indiana Jones properties when this movie comes out. (via IndianaJones.com)
