Part of the “Sunset Ranch Market” food court complex at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, “Rosie’s All-American Café” serves up American comfort food such as cheeseburgers and chicken nuggets. The establishment takes its name from Rosie the Riveter, an icon inspired by working women on the home front during World War II. The wartime theme caries over into the restaurant’s decoration including a look at one of the ways Walt Disney’s studio helped the war effort during the 1940’s.

A tipping point? by Scott Shindeldecker
I have a few things to admit to myself here. It’s been bopping around in my head for a little while now, and I’m finally taking the time to sit down and write.
1) The post that I’ve had in mind to write for probably 2 months now is probably not happening any time soon.
2) It likely wasn’t going to work out the way I wanted it to anyway.
3) I’m leaving in a week for what I believe is my only trip to Florida, for sure as an adult (Spring Break doesn’t count right?), that doesn’t involve a trip to Disney Parks™.
The three things have a lot more in common than you might think on first glance. The blog post that I have been meaning to write is one that was intended to answer a question that was in my head, especially as I plan this trip to Florida, and one that I feel has been really prevalent in some of the Disney discussions of late.
