So, sorry, but for me that argument just doesn't work.

I guess you could stare at ToT, but that's about it.

Hardly even any brickwork or greenery to lighten it up a little - basically just concrete and the most boring possible handrails.

The interior is well themed with lots of firefighting equipment and national park vacation pictures. There are some model airplanes still there. There is a big parachute above the door. Outside has some low plants and trees. No big climbing rock anymore and the cat house is gone. Anyway pretty nice and I'm glad its back. What happen to the crisscross fries? Its the usual cheap TT fries the rest of the park sells.

I know Disney is trying to sell this as a brand new dining experience, but from what I can see it's just a new coat of paint and a new name on the existing restaurant Was there any indication of a swing dancing floor, as MiceAge said was coming?

Originally Posted By phruby No. Beyond paint and decorations the place is exactly the same as before. There is no dance floor or any place for one. Same exact format as before. There is no stake sauce or mayo. The topping bar has ketchup, mustard, ranch, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles and red onions.
