Earlier this month, I wrote about several new attractions coming to Hong Kong Disneyland, including a High School Musical show. Disney has announced that the new “High School Musical: Live” show will debut at Hong Kong Disneyland on March 7, 2008.

The High School Musical performers will dance down Main Street, U.S.A. then put on a high energy performance that includes songs like “What Time is It?” and “Getcha Head in the Game.” Sounds like the show will be very similar to the High School Musical Pep Rally at Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Walt Disney World.

Yesterday, I posted a series of pictures of the Cape May Cafe at Walt Disney World’s Beach Club Resort. Today, I’ll share my review of the restaurant’s dinner buffet.
First, the Beach Club Resort is beautiful, so one would expect a great restaurant to go along with a great hotel. Overall, I’m disappointed by the restaurant choices at the Beach Club Resort and its next door neighbor, the Yacht Club Resort. The reason is there just aren’t enough of them, but I’ll save that for another post entirely.

My in-laws were visiting this past weekend. They love seafood, so we thought it would be fun to take them to the Cape May Cafe clam bake and seafood buffet for dinner at the Beach Club Resort. As always, it was delicious! Check back for my post tomorrow where I’ll write my review of the restaurant, food and more.
For today, here is a review in pictures of the Cape May Cafe at the Beach Club Resort in Walt Disney World. Check it out after the jump.
