If they make it a character dining experience where you have to make reservations weeks or months in advance, I'll be annoyed. Now that I think about it, this would be a good place to do Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs character dining. Hmmm. I'll have to think about this a bit more.
Originally Posted By CuriouserConstance "Wow -- my head is reeling right now! Thanks for the clarification." Serves you right, Jim. I'm still trying to get over the fact that you mentioned awhile back that when you're walking down Harbor Blvd, the view you see of the TOT is from the back of it. I don't see how that's possible.

Still - I would rather have Golden Dreams or a nice Walt exhibit. Reopen the Vineyard room for fine dining. Or repurpose the "Avalon Cove" restaurant for nice dining.
Originally Posted By tashajilek "lol Ohana as far as I know, there are no satellite maps of my behind." Im googling it right now!!! I would be happy if the restaurant has good quality of food. I am not impressed at all with Ariels Grotto. For me i dont usually eat at DCA because the park always closes earlier than DL. I usually get to DCA mid afternoon and head back to DL in the evening for dinner. For some reason it seems DL has better quality of food then DCA?
