Originally Posted By trailsend Oh, davewasbaloo ~ do I agree with you about Splenda China. My husband and I visited the last time about 4 years ago. Maybe 5. It was sad to see it in a state of much needed repair.
Originally Posted By ssWEDguy The thing that was most puzzling about Splendid China was their full-sized dragon marquee out on 192. For almost 2 years after they closed it stayed there, without even a "Splendid China Closed" sign hung on it. The dragon finally went away about a year ago when they held their public "sell everything off" auction. I presume that means the dragon must live on somewhere else. Maybe the Wisconsin Dells. The place where the dragon used to be is just bare spot of weedy ground, across from the Taco Bell. Not even any grass planted there.

I appreciate you all who answered my specific question.It was very helpful. Thanks

It's just someone else's take on "what you really wanted to know."

Now to answer your question, given it's location, if you are staying in WDW, you may wish to either call for a limo/cab or rent a car. However, I posted the website so that you could contact them for advice. Sorry if it seemed of track. And yes, Holyland does remind me of the Simpsons! But so does Epcot/Efcot
