I'm thinking QS all the way with some interactive elements and pricey fruity drinks and theme park staples like flatbreads (because Disney needs to have an actual chef on the premises if it calls them pizza!) and chicken fingers ... and I could even see a burger with pineapple as a shoutout to the origins of the facility!

Is it one of those things like the official training of a sushi chef? I find it tough to believe that there are any regulations on pizza, given the amount of absolutely terrible pizza out there (and Disney parks are on the top of that list). In general, I tend to find that flatbreads are better than pizza, but what do I know?

It's just a restaurant.

Didn't you say that it was not going to be like DLP's Explorer's Club when you first hinted about that and I asked about just that? Well, could be a nice restaurant, so I am happy to hear that there are serious plans.
