Are there any restaurants you would like to see @ WDW?

I'd like to see a KFC at Downtown Disney.

Seriously...the new original recipe chicken strips are wonderful!:slurp:

It could be located where the old Adventurers Club used to be.

I always liked the idea of a Pirate restaurant shaped like a pirate ship on the water. somewhere at WDW.
The main courses would be all types of seafood.
Featured characters would be Pirates of the Caribbean stars, Captain Hook, Smee, Ariel, etc.

How about a Hooters? Where all the waitress' are Disney Princess'! :ROFLOL:
Nah, seriously though. I'd love to see a Subway. I mean, if Disney wants to encourage healthy eating, that's a good place to start
and ThinkTink, I totally agree with your idea. they should also have the bar from Star Wars as a Restraunt in DHS. Maybe with some animatronic aliens

I'd love to see a restaurant themed to Ratatouille in DHS - seems like a no brainer to me. They could sell a little bit of merchadise from the movie there as well... cookbooks, little chef hats & aprons, etc. The possibilities are endless here...

I'd also like to see a more "boy" themed character meal in the MK. It would be awesome to be able to dine with Robin Hood, Peter Pan etc. Not that I have a problem with the princess meals (I do have a princess of my own)!

Maybe it's because I am from Philly and you can throw a rock and hit most of these chain places, but I have no desire to see a PF Changs or any other chain restaurant in Disney. If that is something you crave, hop in a rental car or taxi and you can find one in the city.

What I would like to see?

I have been to the Mars one and it was fun. As for the Jekyll and Hyde pup, I actually never went to that one, and I went to school a few blocks away for 4 years, but I had been to the their now closed outpost uptown near Rockefeller Center(think that was where it was) and that place was fun. Think Adventures Club, but not as funny and more structured.

I've taken various nieces/relatives to Mars & the uptown J&H. The food at Mars is teh puke, and they barely invest the effort into the theme anymore. It feels about as dated as Body Wars did before Epcot shut down WoL for good. J&H was more fun, but the last time I was there, the food was also pretty much on the keep-it-down-and-smile variety, and the table smelled like it had been cleaned with a rag that hadn't been laundered this decade. I'm far from a culinary snob, and for being outside a theme park, they were pretty interestingly-themed restaurants, but WDW should be able to do far better.

I wouldn't mind seeing a bona fide diner on property. If you want to theme it like a 50s diner, I won't gripe about it (I believe there was a thread about this a while back). But a 24-hour diner that's not part of a chain? I can get behind that. Ditto an actual, bona fide pizzeria. Not an Italian restaurant with pizza as an option. A pizzeria.

And only slightly off-topic, now that CW is closed, I wouldn't mind seeing some stand-up or sketch comedy offerings throughout resort lounges, with the awful food that normally is served there.

Mars 2112 is the worst food :hurl:.

If any chain at all I would like to see Cheesecake Factory. The one that was in DQ was not accessible unless you paid to get into DQ.

I would like to see more originally themed restaurants with good food, no more buffets. Like the pirate one that there was a thread on a while back that would be located in the space that is right behind the dole whip stand in MK. MK needs more sit down restaurants.

If they are going to have a pizzeria, it needs to be a real one, not that horrible stuff they seem to think is pizza that they now serve. Find someone from NYC to open and run it for them, importing the water to make the dough.

They definitely need to have more boy's character meals, toy story would be a good one.

Ah, I only had drinks at Mars and it was about 8 years ago!
It's a shame about J&H. Times Square used to have all kinds of weird themed restaurants, anyone remember the Model Café? It was supposedly owned by a few supermodels...ha! They actually had good drinks though.

A 24 hour Diner, as I have said in another post would be great. But I also love that idea of a Star Wars Mos Eisly(sp?) bar. That would be great, especially if it was populated by some of the characters...

CHICK-FIL-A in Downtown Disney.

That's all I ask.

They must not lose too much money being closed on Sundays, because they're an extremely successful company. And imagine the exclusive merchandise—cows with Mickey ears.

Oh please no...

Sorry, but as a born-and-raised New Orleanian, I can safely say that that restaurant tastes nothing like the foods of NOLA. It's always been said that you shouldn't eat New Orleans food in restaurants that didn't have origins in the city, and this is a perfect example.


As for restaurants to add...I really want Alfredo's back.

I've visited New Orleans several times, and found the Blue Bayou to be overpriced, bland "so-not-Cajun-it's-not-funny" food.

But despite being the same company, I find the table service restaurants in WDW generally have tastier food than those in DL. Maybe the proximity to the real New Orleans would bring better food...

One place I use to eat at a lot where I use to live was Bugaboo Creek. It is themed to a Canadian mountian lodge. When I first ate there, I felt like I was eating at a Disney style restaurant. Because they have mounted fish that is still flapping on their plaques, a raccoon popping out of a barrel on the mantle of the fireplace, a buffalo head that tells you stories in the dining room and a moose head in the bar area.

Some type of breakfast place for Epcot would be nice.

Let me begin by stating my undying love for Chick-Fil-A. I have always loved it and always will.

Having said that...

Raising Cane's > Chick-Fil-A

End of story.



I may die of joy if they put a Raising Cane's in WDW somewhere...

We have a Raising Cane's three miles from our house.

It's really strange that a restaurant can make it with only one item on the menu- chicken strips.

:)

This might have limited appeal but I think it'd be a neat idea for any resort that looks a little upscale-20th century nostalgic like Boardwalk or Saratoga.

A pseudo dinner-theater venue called "On the Air." A little more elegant than many WDW eateries, not V&A fancy, but not food court casual either. The theme is that the restaurant is also a working radio station circa the late 1930s. And over the course of the night, authentic live radio comedies & dramas are recreated live every hour on the hour, with 30 minutes of low-key big-band music or jazz to assist table turnover. Get soundalikes when it comes to popular personalities of the day like Burns & Allen or Jack Benny, and have the Wurlitzer cued up for ominous music for Escape! or Suspense or Lights Out, Everybody. Sound effects guys making Bell jars being opened in a toilet sound like a flying saucer opening, or cellophane sound like fire. I think that would be a lot of fun.
