Backlot Express closing date????

[Grotto123]

Been told today backlot express will be closing in september, makes sense being d23 is an august and to make schedule closing things a month later.

 

[JCtheparrothead]

Oh no. Where are all the people that ride that ride going to go???

 

[RandomPrincess]

A sign of hopefully good things to come.

Isn't that the food place? The ride is the back lot tour?

Yes it is quick service.

HA! I always questioned the naming of that place. Why not name "The Studio Catering Co." as "The Backlot Express" since it's right across from the Backlot Tour?

Pretty easy to close a quick serve on the fly, as there are no ADRs. And closing that to put in a Mos Eisley Cantina (or other Star Wars themed idea -- a ride was suggested as a consideration in one blog article) would be a relatively quick addition that could open up in the shorter term.

On that note, we may get a hint of plans for the SOA if Mama Melrose stops taking reservations.

Cantina is slated melrose with the current proposal.

If it is the place by backlot tour I actually enjoy what I got there before. If it is the place by Star Tours I don't remember anything special about their selections, wouldn't be missed.

Either is a possibility to close if any of the plans talked about actually get implemented.

I'd hate to be a member of Mangement and lose my wookiee fur! (imitating Chewbacca growl )

Backlot Express is next to the Jedi Training Academy. We always ate here for the refillable sodas.

Don't know why...but I never liked that place. It always seemed totally uninviting.

I like Mama Melrose's. One of the few table service places left that served good food without the insane price tag.

I agree. I dine there 4+ times a year, same seat, same waiter, and all. That and Trail's are tied for tops with me.

We would sit in their patio area and watch JTA. Having a soda and a free refill with our meal plus a free refill to go was worth the workshop theming for us. Especially when eating the Redhot Buffalo nuggets. ( My mouth's on fire Ricky Bobby!)

I love taking advantage of the free refills at BLE.

Only place in DHS to get free refill soda, sad to see it close but REALLY look forward to seeing the park grow very soon.

I always confuse the two.
