Kicking back at DCA’s Cove Bar
JHM contributor David Michael shares a few stories (as well as several photos) about his favorite watering hole at California Adventure. Also David tells us about a single knocked down lamp post led to a string of problems for Paradise Pier.

Greetings, JHM readers!
It’s David Michael again. And — this time around — I thought that I’d share a few stories & photos of my favorite places at DCA: The Cove Bar. Of course, this article won’t just be about the bar. But will also reveal a few interesting stories & rumors about this side of California Adventure.
One of the original signs remains on the wall next to the bar.
Let’s start with the bar. The Cove Bar was originally known as the Avalon Cove Bar, and was run by Wolfgang Puck for the first few months DCA was open. When Puck bailed out of the theme park, the Walt Disney Company took over the day-to-day running of this watering hole. Changing the downstairs restaurant to “Ariel’s Grotto,” a character based dining experience with a fixed price for a meal.
As for the upstairs bar … It offers a full range of cocktails along with 12 different types of beer, including 7 different types of Karl Strauss beer. Karl Strauss (for those of you who don’t know) is a San Diego brewery, and their normal locations have 10 beers on tap at a time. So DCA actually carries most of the brewery’s line. (For more information on Karl Strauss’ beers, please click on this link.
Okay. It’s time for a story: Prior to Disney’s California Adventure opening up, Disney had hoped to persuade one of the country’s big 3 brewers (I.E. Budweiser, Miller or Coors) to pay big bucks to become that theme park’s official beer. Well, all 3 told Disney: “Thanks, but — at that price –NO thanks!
Which is why Disney really had to scramble in order to find an official beer company for DCA. And — since the Big 3 had passed — the Mouse was reportedly forced to cut a deal with Karl Strauss at the very last minute.
Now where this gets interesting is that Disney had promised to make the Golden Vineyard Winery (sponsored by Robert Mondavi) the primary focus of Disney’s California Adventure grand opening in February 2001. But — as soon as the press went home — the Imagineers used a crane to lower a Karl Strauss beer truck into the theme park’s Pacific Wharf area.
Speaking of Wolfgang Puck & Robert Mondavi … None of the high priced eateries that these two operated at DCA caught on with theme park guests. Which is why Wolfgang & Robert both pulled out of DCA by October 2001.
And the bad news just kept coming. Shortly after he shut down Avalon Cove, Puck was told by his Mrs. to “Get the Puck out of here!” (AKA She asked him for a divorce). And — just recently — the Robert Mondavi Winery announced a major restructuring due to all the losses the corporation has incurred. Which is why the Mondavi family bailing out the company’s board of directors, and the Winery is dropping its line of “luxury” wines to focus on the creation of cheaper lifestyle wines.
Anyway … Getting back to the Cove Bar: This attractive DCA watering hole features a limited appetizer menu. Two of my favorites are the Lobster Nachos and the Spinach & Artichoke Dip. (FYI: The Dip makes use of Mission Tortillas, which are actually prepared on-site over at Pacific Pier). Currently (During California Adventure’s off-season), the Cove Bar is open Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 2:30 to about 8 PM. During the theme park’s peak operating times, this DCA watering hole is open 7 days a week.
Some park guests enjoy a cold beverage, and taking a load off their feet
Now DCA’s Cove Bar is a fun place to relax and the bartenders & staff are friendly. But one of the nicest aspects of the place is its view. And — speaking of the Cove Bar’s view — we have some interesting stories about that as well.
To explain: Some of you may already be familiar with the DCA-related discussions that have erupted over at other Disneyana websites. Two of these debates deal with that theme park’s Paradise Pier area. One particular heated discussion deals with the question: “Would Walt have wanted to have a carnival-themed area in a Disney theme park?” Well, given that Walt is no longer with us, I doubt that we will ever have the definitive answer to that question.
As for the second heated debate, that one deals with Paradise Pier and how this section of California Adventure looks. Most folks on the boards seem to think that DCA’s boardwalk looks its best at night. What do you folks think? Here’s a few photos that I’ve taken of this side of the theme park”
California Screamin’

It’s too bad that Luminaria Island is still in the middle of Paradise Bay
Now — of course — I saved the best story for last. And this DCA-related tale has to do with why the view over at Paradise Pier looks the way it does these days … er … nights.
You see — back on the night of August 14th, 2003 after California Adventure closed for the evening — a contractor was doing some work in the Paradise Pier area. Well, this guy was driving a rather arge pick-up truck. And — by accident — he ran into a lamp post near the entrance to California Screamin’.
No big deal, right? Things like that happen all the time. Alas, when this contractor accidentally knocked down that one lamp post, it caused a ripple effect. Which impacted the lights in three different parts of Paradise Pier. To be specific, the string of lights near Catch-a-Flave, the string that hangs between Catch-a-Flave and the Sun Wheel, and a third section of lights that hangs from from the Sun Wheel to the Maliboomer.
A crate now covers up the base of the lamppost that got knocked over by the truck.
Well, in order to keep the strings of lights up, DCA’s maintenance team tried to weave a large steel cable into the string of lights. Unfortunately, that steel cable had no type of safety release. So — after this jury-rigged support system was installed — a second chain reaction happened. Which pulled the tops off of over 30 lamp posts in the Paradise Pier area. Each of these tops featuring two lamps & two speakers!
Which is why — early on the morning of August 15th — dozens of Disney senior staff gathered in this part of DCA to see the disaster. As well as trying to figure out what to do next.
What the lampposts originally looked like.
Of course DCA’s maintenance staff had to clean up the mess. Take the jumble of speakers and cable backstage as well as clean up all the shards from the broken light bulbs & globes. They also had to come up with some sort of quick fix. Which involved hiring a group of electricians to quickly check the lamp post for damage, and then add just a replacement fixture to its top. Which — in this case — was one single simple white globe added to the top of the still standing lamp post. (If you look at the above picture, you can see where the tops broke off, just below the speaker base.)
What the middle section lampposts look like today.
Mind you, there were no speakers on Paradise Pier’s lamp posts on the first day following this repair work. DCA’s maintenance staff did eventually come back and add a simple speaker (smaller than the original set) to each lamp post a few weeks later. But — as you can see — this “temporary” fix remains in place, even though this unfortunate incident happened over a year ago. Some California Adventure staffers have suggested that the damages here (as result of that one contractor backing into that one light pole) could have totaled over $1 million.
A look at part of the middle section, and the missing string of lights.
The original design, from one of the sections still remaining.
Given that it had been over a year since the original accident occurred and that this temporary fix still remained in place, it was beginning to look like DCA’s maintenance staff would never actually get around to really repairing this damage. But then — thankfully — October 1st roll around. Which is the start of the Disneyland Resort’s fiscal year for 2005.
Check out these photos that I took this past Sunday.
No string of lights yet. But there should be soon.
Please note that DCA’s maintenance staff have started to run that steel cable between the lamp posts.
Still needs to replace the one lamp post.
The lamp posts that need to be replaced are still backstage. But more than likely by the end of the month, Paradise Pier should once again look like as it did back in August of 2003.
Anyway, I hope you folks enjoyed today’s photo essay. As always, if you’d like to see more of the photographs that I’ve taken at the Disneyland Resort, you can do so by following this link.

Seward Johnson bronzes add a surreal, artistic touch to NYC’s Garment District
![](https://jimhillmedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/jim-hill-media-featured-1200x675-1.png)
Greetings from NYC. Nancy and I drove down from New
Hampshire yesterday because we'll be checking out
Disney Consumer Products' annual Holiday Showcase later today.
Anyway … After checking into our hotel (i.e., The Paul.
Which is located down in NYC's NoMad district), we decided to grab some dinner.
Which is how we wound up at the Melt Shop.
Photo by Jim Hill
Which is this restaurant that only sells grilled cheese sandwiches.
This comfort food was delicious, but kind of on the heavy side.
Photo by Jim Hill
Which is why — given that it was a beautiful summer night
— we'd then try and walk off our meals. We started our stroll down by the Empire
State Building
…
Photo by Jim Hill
… and eventually wound up just below Times
Square (right behind where the Waterford Crystal Times Square New
Year's Eve Ball is kept).
Photo by Jim Hill
But you know what we discovered en route? Right in the heart
of Manhattan's Garment District
along Broadway between 36th and 41st? This incredibly cool series of life-like
and life-sized sculptures that Seward
Johnson has created.
Photo by Jim Hill
And — yes — that is Abraham Lincoln (who seems to have
slipped out of WDW's Hall of Presidents when no one was looking and is now
leading tourists around Times Square). These 18 painted
bronze pieces (which were just installed late this past Sunday night / early
Monday morning) range from the surreal to the all-too-real.
Photo by Jim Hill
Some of these pieces look like typical New Yorkers. Like the
business woman planning out her day …

… the postman delivering the mail …

… the hot dog vendor working at his cart …

… the street musician playing for tourists …

Not to mention the tourists themselves.

But right alongside the bronze businessmen …

… and the tired grandmother hauling her groceries home …
Photo by Jim Hill
… there were also statues representing people who were
from out-of-town …
Photo by Jim Hill
… or — for that matter — out-of-time.
Photo by Jim Hill
These were the Seward Johnson pieces that genuinely beguiled. Famous impressionist paintings brought to life in three dimensions.
Note the out-of-period water bottle that some tourist left
behind. Photo by Jim Hill
Some of them so lifelike that you actually had to pause for
a moment (especially as day gave way to night in the city) and say to yourself
"Is that one of the bronzes? Or just someone pretending to be one of these
bronzes?"
Mind you, for those of you who aren't big fans of the
impressionists …
Photo by Jim Hill
… there's also an array of American icons. Among them
Marilyn Monroe …
Photo by Jim Hill
… and that farmer couple from Grant Wood's "American
Gothic."
Photo by Jim Hill
But for those of you who know your NYC history, it's hard to
beat that piece which recreates Alfred Eisenstaedt's famous photograph of V-J Day in Times Square.
Photo by Jim Hill
By the way, a 25-foot-tall version of this particular Seward
Johnson piece ( which — FYI — is entitled "Embracing Peace") will actually
be placed in Times Square for a few days on or around August 14th to commemorate the 70th
anniversary of Victory Over Japan Day (V-J Day).
Photo by Jim Hill
By the way, if you'd like to check these Seward Johnson bronzes in
person (which — it should be noted — are part of the part of the Garment
District Alliance's new public art offering) — you'd best schedule a trip to
the City sometime over the next three months. For these pieces will only be on
display now through September 15th.

Wondering what you should “Boldly Go” see at the movies next year? The 2015 Licensing Expo offers you some clues
![](https://jimhillmedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/jim-hill-media-featured-1200x675-1.png)
Greeting from the 2015 Licensing Expo, which is being held
at the Mandalay Bay
Convention Center in Las
Vegas.
Photo by Jim Hill
I have to admit that I enjoy covering the Licensing Expo.
Mostly becomes it allows bloggers & entertainment writers like myself to
get a peek over the horizon. Scope out some of the major motion pictures &
TV shows that today's vertically integrated entertainment conglomerates
(Remember when these companies used to be called movie studios?) will be
sending our way over the next two years or so.
Photo by Jim Hill
Take — for example — all of "The Secret Life of
Pets" banners that greeted Expo attendees as they made their way to the
show floor today. I actually got to see some footage from this new Illumination
Entertainment production (which will hit theaters on July 8, 2016) the last time I was in Vegas. Which
was for CinemaCon back in April. And the five or so minutes of film that I viewed
suggested that "The Secret Life of Pets" will be a really funny
animated feature.
Photo by Jim Hill
Mind you, Universal Pictures wanted to make sure that Expo
attendees remembered that there was another Illumination Entertainment production
coming-to-a-theater-near-them before "The Secret Life of Pets" (And
that's "Minions," the "Despicable Me" prequel. Which
premieres at the Annecy International Animated Film Festival next week but
won't be screened stateside 'til July 10th of this year). Which is why they had
three minions who were made entirely out of LEGOS loitering out in the lobby.
Photo by Jim Hill
And Warner Bros. — because they wanted "Batman v
Superman: Dawn of Justice" to start trending on Twitter today — brought
the Batmobile to Las Vegas.
Photo by Jim Hill
Not to mention full-sized macquettes of Batman, Superman and
Wonder Woman. Just so conventioneers could then see what these DC superheroes
would actually look like in this eagerly anticipated, March 25, 2016 release.
Photo by Jim Hill
That's the thing that can sometimes be a wee bit frustrating
about the Licensing Expo. It's all about delayed gratification. You'll come
around a corner and see this 100 foot-long ad for "The Peanuts Movie"
and think "Hey, that looks great. I want to see that Blue Sky Studios production
right now." It's only then that you notice the fine print and realize that
"The Peanuts Movie" doesn't actually open in theaters 'til November
6th of this year.
Photo by Jim Hill
And fan of Blue Sky's "Ice Age" film franchise are in for an even
longer wait. Given that the latest installment in that top grossing series
doesn't arrive in theaters 'til July
15, 2016.
Photo by Jim Hill
Of course, if you're one of those people who needs immediate
gratification when it comes to your entertainment, there was stuff like that to
be found at this year's Licensing Expo. Take — for example — how the WWE
booth was actually shaped like a wrestling ring. Which — I'm guessing — meant
that if the executives of World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc. didn't like
the offer that you were making, they were then allowed to toss you out over the
top rope, Royal Rumble-style.
Photo by Jim Hill
I also have to admit that — as a longtime Star Trek fan —
it was cool to see the enormous Starship Enterprise that hung in place over the
CBS booth. Not to mention getting a glimpse of the official Star Trek 50th
Anniversary logo.
Photo by Jim Hill
I was also pleased to see lots of activity in The Jim Henson
Company booth. Which suggests that JHC has actually finally carved out a
post-Muppets identity for itself.
Photo by Jim Hill
Likewise for all of us who were getting a little concerned
about DreamWorks Animation (what with all the layoffs & write-downs &
projects that were put into turnaround or outright cancelled last year), it was
nice to see that booth bustling.
Photo by Jim Hill
Every so often, you'd come across some people who were
promoting a movie that you weren't entirely sure that you actually wanted to
see (EX: "Angry Birds," which Sony Pictures Entertainment / Columbia
Pictures will be releasing to theaters on May 20, 2016). But then you remembered that Clay Kaytis —
who's this hugely talented former Walt Disney Animation Studios animator — is
riding herd on "Angry Birds" with Fergal Reilly. And you'd think
"Well, if Clay's working on 'Angry Birds,' I'm sure this animated feature
will turn out fine."
Photo by Jim Hill
Mind you, there were reminders at this year's Licensing Expo
of great animated features that we're never going to get to see now. I still
can't believe — especially after that brilliant proof-of-concept footage
popped up online last year — that Sony execs decided not to go forward
with production of Genndy Tartakovsky's
"Popeye" movie. But that's the
cruel thing about the entertainment business, folks. It will sometime break
your heart.
Photo by Jim Hill
And make no mistake about this. The Licensing Expo is all
about business. That point was clearly driven home at this year's show when —
as you walked through the doors of the Mandalay
Bay Convention Center
— the first thing that you saw was the Hasbros Booth. Which was this gleaming,
sleek two story-tall affair full of people who were negotiating deals &
signing contracts for all of the would-be summer blockbusters that have already
announced release dates for 2019 & beyond.
Photo by Jim Hill
"But what about The Walt Disney Company?," you
ask. "Weren't they represented on the show floor at this year's Licensing
Expo?" Not really, not. I mean, sure. There were a few companies there hyping
Disney-related products. Take — for example — the Disney Wikkeez people.
Photo by Jim Hill
I'm assuming that some Disney Consumer Products exec is
hoping that Wikkeez will eventually become the new Tsum Tsum. But to be blunt,
these little hard plastic figures don't seem to have the same huggable charm
that those stackable plush do. But I've been wrong before. So let's see what
happens with Disney Wikkeez once they start showing up on the shelves of the
Company's North American retail partners.
Photo by Jim Hill
And speaking of Disney's retail partners … They were
meeting with Mouse House executives behind closed doors one floor down from the
official show floor for this year's Licensing Expo.
Photo by Jim Hill
And the theme for this year's invitation-only Disney shindig? "Timeless
Stories" involving the Disney, Pixar, Marvel & Lucasfilm brands that
would then appeal to "tomorrow's consumer."
Photo by Jim Hill
And just to sort of hammer home the idea that Disney is no
longer the Company which cornered the market when it comes to little girls
(i.e., its Disney Princess and Disney Fairies franchises), check out this
wall-sized Star Wars-related image that DCP put up just outside of one of its
many private meeting rooms. "See?," this carefully crafted photo
screams. "It isn't just little boys who want to wield the Force. Little
girls also want to grow up and be Lords of the Sith."
Photo by Jim Hill
One final, kind-of-ironic note: According to this banner,
Paramount Pictures will be releasing a movie called "Amusement Park"
to theaters sometime in 2017.
Photo by Jim Hill
Well, given all the "Blackfish" -related issues
that have been dogged SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment over the past two years, I'm
just hoping that they'll still be in the amusement park business come 2017.

It takes more than three circles to craft a Classic version of Mickey Mouse
![](https://jimhillmedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/jim-hill-media-featured-1200x675-1.png)
You know what Mickey Mouse looks like, right? Little guy,
big ears?
Truth be told, Disney's corporate symbol has a lot of
different looks. If Mickey's interacting with Guests at Disneyland
Park (especially this summer, when
the Happiest Place on Earth
is celebrating its 60th anniversary), he looks & dresses like this.
Copyright Disney Enterprises,
Inc.
All rights reserved
Or when he's appearing in one of those Emmy Award-winning shorts that Disney
Television Animation has produced (EX: "Bronco Busted," which debuts
on the Disney Channel tonight at 8 p.m. ET / PT), Mickey is drawn in a such a
way that he looks hip, cool, edgy & retro all at the same time.
Copyright Disney Enterprises, Inc. All rights
reserved
Looking ahead to 2017 now, when Disney Junior rolls out "Mickey and the
Roadster Racers," this brand-new animated series will feature a sportier version
of Disney's corporate symbol. One that Mouse House managers hope will persuade
preschool boys to more fully embrace this now 86 year-old character.
Copyright Disney Enterprises,
Inc. All rights reserved
That's what most people don't realize about the Mouse. The
Walt Disney Company deliberately tailors Mickey's look, even his style of
movement, depending on what sort of project / production he's appearing in.
Take — for example — Disney
California Adventure
Park's "World of Color:
Celebrate!" Because Disney's main mouse would be co-hosting this new
nighttime lagoon show with ace emcee Neil Patrick Harris, Eric Goldberg really had
to step up Mickey's game. Which is why this master Disney animator created
several minutes of all-new Mouse animation which then showed that Mickey was
just as skilled a showman as Neil was.

Better yet, let's take a look at what the folks at Avalanche Studios just went
through as they attempted to create a Classic version of Mickey & Minnie.
One that would then allow this popular pair to become part of Disney Infinity
3.0.
"I won't lie to you. We were under a lot of pressure to
get the look of this particular version of Mickey — he's called Red Pants
Mickey around here — just right," said Jeff Bunker, the VP of Art
Development at Avalanche Studios, during a recent phone interview. "When
we brought Sorcerer Mickey into Disney Infinity 1.0 back in January of 2014,
that one was relatively easy because … Well, everyone knows what Mickey Mouse
looked like when he appeared in 'Fantasia.' "
Copyright Disney Enterprises,
Inc. All rights reserved
"But this time around, we were being asked to design
THE Mickey & Minnie," Bunker continued. "And given that these Classic
Disney characters have been around in various different forms for the better
part of the last century … Well, which look was the right look?"
Which is why Jeff and his team at Avalanche Studios began watching hours &
hours of Mickey Mouse shorts. As they tried to get a handle on which look would
work best for these characters in Disney Infinity 3.0.
Copyright Disney
Enterprises, Inc. All rights reserved
"And we went all the way back to the very start of Mickey's career. We began
with 'Steamboat Willie' and then watched all of those black & white Mickey shorts
that Walt made back in the late 1920s & early 1930s. From there, we
transitioned to his Technicolor shorts. Which is when Mickey went from being
this pie-eyed, really feisty character to more of a well-behaved leading
man," Bunker recalled. "We then finished out our Mouse marathon by
watching all of those new Mickey shorts that Paul Rudish & his team have
been creating for Disney Television Animation. Those cartoons really recapture
a lot of the spirit and wild slapstick fun that Mickey's early, black &
white shorts had."
But given that the specific assignment that Avalanche Studios had been handed
was to create the most appealing looking, likeable version of Mickey Mouse
possible … In the end, Jeff and his team wound up borrowing bits & pieces
from a lot of different versions of the world's most famous mouse. So that
Classic Mickey would then look & move in a way that best fit the sort of
gameplay which people would soon be able to experience with Disney Infinity
3.0.
Copyright Disney Enterprises,
Inc. All rights reserved
"That — in a lot of ways — was actually the toughest
part of the Classic Mickey design project. You have to remember that one of the
key creative conceits of Disney Infinity
is that all the characters which appear in this game are toys," Bunker
stated. "Okay. So they're beautifully detailed, highly stylized toy
versions of beloved Disney, Pixar, Marvel & Lucasfilm characters. But
they're still supposed to be toys. So our Classic versions of Mickey &
Minnie have the same sort of thickness & sturdiness to them that toys have.
So that they'll then be able to fit right in with all of the rest of the
characters that Avalanche Studios had previously designed for Disney Infinity."
And then there was the matter of coming up with just the
right pose for Classic Mickey & Minnie. Which — to hear Jeff tell the
story — involved input from a lot of Disney upper management.
Copyright Disney Enterprises,
Inc. All rights reserved
"Everyone within the Company seemed to have an opinion
about how Mickey & Minnie should be posed. More to the point, if you Google
Mickey, you then discover that there are literally thousands of poses out there
for these two. Though — truth be told — a lot of those kind of play off the
way Mickey poses when he's being Disney's corporate symbol," Bunker said.
"But what I was most concerned about was that Mickey's pose had to work
with Minnie's pose. Because we were bringing the Classic versions of these
characters up into Disney Infinity 3.0 at the exact same time. And we wanted to
make sure — especially for those fans who like to put their Disney Infinity
figures on display — that Mickey's pose would then complement Minnie.
Which is why Jeff & the crew at Avalanche Studios
decided — when it came to Classic Mickey & Minnie's pose — that they
should go all the way back to the beginning. Which is why these two Disney icons
are sculpted in such a way that it almost seems as though you're witnessing the
very first time Mickey set eyes on Minnie.
Copyright Disney Enterprises,
Inc. All rights reserved
"And what was really great about that was — as soon as
we began showing people within the Company this pose — everyone at Disney
quickly got on board with the idea. I mean, the Classic Mickey that we sculpted
for Disney Infinity 3.0 is clearly a very playful, spunky character. But at the
same time, he's obviously got eyes for Minnie," Bunker concluded. "So
in the end, we were able to come up with Classic versions of these characters
that will work well within the creative confines of Disney Infinity 3.0 but at
the same time please those Disney fans who just collect these figures because
they like the way the Disney Infinity characters look."
So now that this particular design project is over, does
Jeff regret that Mouse House upper management was so hands-on when it came to
making sure that the Classic versions of Mickey & Minnie were specifically
tailored to fit the look & style of gameplay found in Disney Infinity 3.0?
Copyright Lucasfilm / Disney
Enterprises, Inc. All rights reserved
"To be blunt, we go through this every time we add a new character to the
game. The folks at Lucasfilm were just as hands-on when we were designing the
versions of Darth Vader and Yoda that will also soon be appearing in Disney
Infinity 3.0," Bunker laughed. "So in the end, if the character's
creators AND the fans are happy, then I'm happy."
