Aunt Polly's is open?

[jlsHouston]

I wish I was there to see that!

I am going to be in 10 days ! I am going to post a pic of me at the counter!

Kudos. Here's hoping its at least seasonal.

Apparently the menu is a turkey sandwich or hummus, but was always a limited menu. Glad to see it's back open and hoping to see it open more frequently!

Here's what I'd suggest...and if they did this, I think they'd attract more. Part of the issue is that Polly's is hard to get to...so, I see why they close it.

BUT...I think it would be great if they served unique southern foods there.

For example:

Finger Sandwiches (cucumber, chicken salad, etc)
Sun Tea (fresh brewed, not Nestea)
Fresh Squeezed Lemonade (with flavour options such as fresh raspberries crushed into it, etc)

Stuff you'd find in a southern "Tea Time"...I think it could work well and make it unique enough for someone to visit on a hot Summer day and watch the Mark Twain paddle along.

Sodas and hot dogs...yeah...that ain't gonna cut it.

Just through April 11th if memory serves me right.

SAD.

Apparently they used to serve cold fried chicken.

Which im jonesing for.

I'm amazed to see the facility's even still functional. I would've assumed they stopped maintaining it after its closure.

Could work well. A menu planned around fresh, but something which has a few days life in a fridge, as well as things that can be prepared and shipped in rather than requiring lots of prep staff...would work well.

Is it not strange what WDW does with Dining establishments, Perhaps a F&B manager finally figured out there is plenty of additional demand for Dining with the huge crowds and especially at FL where trash cans are used as tables because all the tables are FULL.

And the PROFIT from selling food far exceeds the 'savings' from keeping dining locations closed...

Tomorrowland Terrace was open yesterday as well. Sorry I didn't post the Polly menu for several hours.

Neat bit of really good news. I sure wish that I could be there. I'd buy something just to increase the margin, with the hopes that this sort of thing might continue into the future...

Pics please.

Fried chicken is awsome cold any chance you can get it! Disney would make a killing with a qsr that serves it. So easy to do and keep warm to seve to mass crowds. Disney restaurant choices need a tweak but for the amount they pump out they do a real good job

And apple pie, if memory serves me correctly...

Ham and cheese wedge sandwiches.
And peanut butter and jelly for those who like that thing.

Washed down with their apple pie and that lemonade...

Okay, lunchtime. Thanks Martin, I'm starvin now

It seemed like everything was open yesterday - even Diamond Horseshoe. I'm sorry I didn't get the chance to go over to Aunt Polly's, but it was nice to see so many seasonal locations open, including Tomorrowland Terrace and Tortuga Tavern, and locations with oddball operating schedules, like Golden Oak Outpost. They definitely need these places open more consistently. It's a shame the park has to be packed for to happen.

Enjoy, and can't wait to see your pictures!

They did HVAC work on it a few years ago, interesting it took so long to even make it seasonal.
