We like to get a bunch of skewers, Tiger Tails and also fruit from the Indy Cart and have a family style picnic while waiting for the parade. YUM!

SO, if you really want to save the Bengal BBQ the best thing to do is to go there and buy a whole bunch. If people buy like crazy then they might just cancel it or relocate it.

Originally Posted By retlawfan It is not closed down yet. It will be closed in October, AFTER this summer's Fantasmic! run. I stopped by there today, and was told by a cast member that Bengal WILL return in some form as part of the new building that is replacing the Riverbelle Terrace. She was under the impression that the Bengal BBQ is actually going to expand it's offerings when it gets its' facelift. We'll see.

Where it sits right now it creates a huge traffic jam when combined with the Indiana Jones traffic. Just a couple people and a stroller standing by that stand up table and you are left with a very narrow walking area.
