Where / What is this Building?

[5thGenTexan]

I was there, but I don't remember what this is. My first trip 1984 or 1985. Found a big stack of pictures from my mothers hoarding house. Some are nasty, but I at have them now.

So, what is this building?

Looks to be one of the shops from the old Disney Village Marketplace before it became Downtown Disney and later Disney Springs. Maybe Chef Mickey's restaurant.

Notice the roof lines on some of these buildings:

We went to a character breakfast outside of the park, would that be work with your idea?

I think that nails it, check out these links from Walt Dated World, second link includes a menu sample from "Chef Mickey's" though it says it opened in 1990? Apparently the location for this restaurant is where the Disney Springs Rainforest Cafe now stands.

Possibly. There were other buildings at the Disney Village Marketplace with similar outside design though. Could have been a number of different shops in that pic of yours but the brick facade and cedar shake roofs were the main theme at the Village back then.

I think that's exactly right. The bricks are the giveaway.

Here is another photo of the Disney Village. To the right you can see a similar shaped roof line and similar windows in the building.

I'm not used to being exactly right, but maybe it is a close guess.

This photo shows some of the brick work:

There is a pic of us in the same clothes with Brer Fox that looks like in front of the Empress Lilly that is in this pic.

That kinda looks like the inside of the Empress Lily, not Chef Mickey's.

I called my mother up and asked "That character breakfast we did, was it on a boat?" She said yes. So, I guess we ate on the Empress Lilly and that first picture was just a random building on that side.

Thanks for everyones help!!

Looks like the old Gourmet Pantry at the Disney Village. I don't know if it was there when this photo was taken, though.
