To celebrate the release of “Deadpool & Wolverine,” The Chimichanga has arrived as a limited-time addition at Pym Test Kitchen in Disney California Adventure. Of course, we had to give it a review.The Chimichanga – $13.99with seasoned beef, charred poblano, refried beans, shredded cheese, guajillo sauce, and pico de gallo side saladThis golden-brown chimichanga features Wolverine’s claw marks and is served with a side salad and spicy sauce.The photo doesn’t do the size of this chimichanga justice. It’s massive and much bigger than we were expecting. Two people could easily share it, but it’s so good, you may not want to split it with anyone but yourself.Everything about the chimichanga, whether it be the quality, texture, or flavor, is incredible. The meat is tender which pairs perfectly with the crispy exterior. The inside is loaded with cheese and peppers. We were pleased that the peppers weren’t too spicy.The sauce that comes with the chimichanga is quite spicy, but the spice doesn’t take away from its excellent flavor. The only thing we didn’t like about the meal was the salad, but the chimichanga was so good, it didn’t matter.Overall, The Chimichanga is a filling and surprisingly refreshing meal for a hot summer day.Rating out of 7: 7

Crews continue to demolish the queue of Test Track as part of a reimagining of the EPCOT attraction.Test Track ReimaginingThere are fewer dumpsters in front of the attraction than there were during our last construction update. But one dumpster is right in front of the entrance doors, which are open for crews to pull debris outside and discard it. We also noticed safety cones up around one of the supports of the canopy, which will be removed according to concept art.More paneling has been removed from the underside of the outdoor track. Silver paneling is now missing from most of the track that’s visible from the Monorail.Compare the photos to the below concept art which features a new entrance structure.Test Track opened in 1998, replacing the opening-day EPCOT attraction World of Motion. Test Track was reimagined in 2012. Disney announced the new reimagining last year, stating it will take inspiration from World of Motion.The first piece of concept art shared showed the Test Track ride vehicles with a sleeker look. The scene depicted appears to be the Responsiveness Test, which currently features a series of turns with cutouts of scenery. The art seems to imply an upgrade to the set as well, but nothing is confirmed at this time.Walt Disney Imagineering recently filed a permit for

This year, the bucket has a new stitched-up look and says new phrases.Chucky Popcorn BucketThe talking Chucky popcorn bucket made its debut last year at Halloween Horror Nights 32. Chucky wears his blue overalls, striped long-sleeve shirt, and red and white shoes. “Good Guys” appears in red on the front pocket of his overalls.
