Thanks for drawing my attention to this, not sure how I missed this last week.

Has the "Neverland Tunnels" name been confirmed or just the concept of a rum runner bar connecting the Maria and Enzo and The Edison?

As far as I know that name will not be used.

Two new Italian restaurants coming? Surprising.

Can't have enough Italian, hope the food is from different regions

I know this has been said elsewhere but this means there is currently five closed or yet to open restaurants at Disney Springs (including Edison). Have they not reached saturation yet? I want something to do after dinner, a comedy or similar entertainment club. The Edison should offer some of this but there was the opportunity to do a lot more with the building next door than another Italian restaurant.

Yeah the lack of nightlife at Disney Springs is shocking. When La Nouba closes in December there will be zero real entertainment which is absolutely absurd.

Yeah, after our last trip, we are done with Disney Springs. They have great dining but I can only eat at one place at a time. As we were walking past row upon row of other restaurants, mall stores, and Disney stores selling the same stuff we can find in the parks, we decided to leave. The still atrocious bus situation left us sacrificing 3 1/2 hours to eat a (good) burger. We are done until they come up with some sort of compelling family entertainment.

I suppose the Edison will probably offer something. and there is Splitsville. Plus the 10 singers they have plonked everywhere. Why not get a juggler or a magician or some more interesting street performance instead of loads of singers.

They don't need to bring back all of pleasure island, but some adult options of interesting things to watch, comedy club, more interesting bars (Trader Sams style is a good start). Just more bars that aren't part of a restaurant. too.

If you've ever been to Downtown Disney in Anaheim I really dig the street performers there. Some killer dudes with guitars. On topic note, this restaurant sounds really really cool and I'm looking forward to getting a sense of the interior vibe.

There is some variety. A magician is around The Landing, usually in The Hangar Bar or Morimoto I believe.

But the majority is musical.

Have they said the venue is closing?

Yep. Signs up outside too advertising La Nouba is closing. A new Cirque show will replace it sometime next year but a replacement show hasn't been officially announced.

Cool. The poster I quoted made it seem like they were tearing down the building or something.

The only Enzos I hit is "Enzos on the lake" north of Orlando. My fave Italian place in the area

Maria and Enzo's, Enzo's Hideaway and Pizza Ponte officially announced for Disney Springs

 

[MichRX7]

From the article, "Inspired by Florida’s true history of rum running, Enzo’s Hideaway will pour Prohibition-era cocktails at its Tunnel Bar..."

Should we be worried about going blind?

Disney Springs may need more parking.

Is anyone else surprised how amateurish those logos are?

I see nothing wrong with the logos. I think they look very good and on target.

They seem simple - but that also is a trend in the industry. Easier to copy onto napkins, merch, etc.

I'm intrigued to see what these become. Especially the Tunnel Bar.
