I think a new character meal would be cool if they did the Incredibles, Monsters and maybe some of the other Pixars. Character meals are wildly popular, no matter where you put them and maybe it would help DCA. Ariels has always been very successful.

Originally Posted By FerretAfros I'm sure they could find a way to remake the Prime Time, either in the backlot, or in another part of the park. It really seems to go with that whole hip and edgy thing that they wanted, while holding onto nostalgia. A really well made resturant indeed.
Originally Posted By Brown Monkey This sounds like a nice idea, however I am tired of seeing EVERYTHING going to the characters.

Hopefully one day it'll be knocked down when they have a great plan for it! I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
Originally Posted By deadmentellnotales I think I'd rather see an old hollywood style restruant or club whith classic film characters, perhaps something like Jack Rabbit Slim's from Pulp Fiction or maybe something like the old Brown Derby. My point is Something that fits the theme of the area.

Originally Posted By knoxvelour no, not Hollywood, but definitely California. I'd be really happy if they put it near the entrance

Originally Posted By trekkeruss <<Maybe a dinner theater?>> I really, really, really, REALLY would love for the Tahitian Terrace to return, and I know I am not alone in wanting it back. Even Aladdin's Oasis, which I never was able to experience, would be welcome. If they wanted to do another in DCA, I say absolutely! A dinner coupled with a Hollywood revue like Encore at TDS would be awesome.

Originally Posted By Kylesmom I enjoyed both the Tahitian Terrace and Aladin's Oasis, and would LOVE something like that at DCA.
Originally Posted By deadmentellnotales Maybe they should have some adult themed restraunts.

Of course they would have to have the park opened at night, but it would be a nice alternative to the madness at DL and i would go there at least a couple of night if they has this. Also a tiki bar, and karaoke area would be fun.
Originally Posted By FerretAfros An "adult" show would probably get plenty of people to stick around. Sure, they're not the types that Disney wants, but money is money.
Originally Posted By iDisney72 If they put a PrimeTime Cafe in DCA more people would complain about getting "WDW copycats" then being happy about it! I did enjoy the restaurant, but an original would attract more people. In terms of a dinner-show idea, it would be harder to do when on a late night the park closes at 8. And nights when it closes at 6? Close to impossible!
