What I see happening to DTD is that it may price itself above the average WDWguest. I do believe they are starting to look harder at the Four Seasons level customer - and T rex aside - it sure seems they are shooting at abar that is very high.

But they do have several higher end options like Spiaggia's, The Willshire Inn in Denver, and the DtD stuff. I have eaten at Fulton's twice and wasn't impressed either time. But I did enjoy PYC. I have also eaten at Willshire Inn and it was VERY good. Not as expensive as Morton's or The Chop House, and just as high quality. I suspect the new Potobella will be in about the same price range as it was, which I thought was overpriced, but choked it up to being in DtD, as everything there is what I called tourist priced. But the change in menu sounds welcome. As I said before I enjoyed it the one time I was there. As far as comparison, I would say its more on the level of Maggiano's than Olive Garden.
