Kudos for a great report Lindsay!

Originally Posted By KiNOO yes wonderful themed restaurants, remind me of the perfect theming of DLP's restaurants such as the Blue Laggon, le Chalet de la Marionnette (pinocchio), Bella Note Pizzeria (LAdy and the Tramp) etc... The CM service missing ,true

As OLC are publicly traded, they release accurate attendance figures. The combined resort attracted 22 million in the year ending March 31. WDW are always estimated as Disney has no obligation to release such figures and MK rarely creeps over 14 million. Even with the opening at TDS, TDL attracted between 15-16 million last year. Unless someone can correct me, I believe that TDL has been the most visited theme park in the world since its first full year of operation. Over 18 million a year were visiting during the 15th birthday celebrations. Anyhow, it is all debatable! This restaurant is fantastic and thanks for all the kind comments. We really **love** this one! Lee.

Originally Posted By TDLFAN The trays themselves are themed to the Alice in Wonderland which a great looking motif, but if I am not mistaken, the liners are handed out with special set menus such as the 20th anniversary set and such!
Originally Posted By dlkozy It doesn't look as though DL is building any new attractions to celebrate the 50th, (rumor is the cost is more than they can handle right now), but how about building a new great themed restaurant for DL? The Queen of Hearts looks fabulous-almost as good as some of the rides do! It would cost a lot less but people would think that they were still getting something wonderful!
Originally Posted By jaxtrip I'm w/ you dlkozy. And it would be another revenue stream for them, unlike an attraction. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE can we have an elaborate Alice/Wonderland restaurant at DL? did I say PLEASE!
Originally Posted By TDLFAN I guess it would be nice to put this in DL, but then it would have to be a very scaled down in terms of size. Queen of hearts as we know it would take up 1/4 of the space at Toontown! Then it comes down to money. Eisner doesn't feel the audience is worth that much trouble or work. Just me opinion.
Originally Posted By tonyanton I would also think that the place we need to be American visitor-proofed to keep maintenance costs down.
