Changes at DTD

[EPCOT Explorer]

Here is an idea...Mouse feel free to use it.

All of has one of those one of a kind, mom and pop, hole in the wall restaurants in there town that is simply incredible at what they do. Here in J-ville we have Johnsosn's BBQ on the north side. You order from Ms. Johnson, Mr. Johnson gets your order ready and it is the best BBQ on the planet. We also have a place called Beach Road Chicken. It been around since the 30's, it is an old house, and the chicken and sides are smack your Grand ma down good. The thing is we all have places like this around where we live. Disney would be wise to send out a couple of people (I volunteer my services for this research trip ) around the country to find several places like this and cut the owners a check for the recipes, name, etc and recreate the restaurant in DTD down to the finish on the floors and the furniture in the dining room. They could even give out the information for the original restaurant (big win win) Done right they will have a huge winner.

Johnson's

Beach Road Chicken

Exactly. Most of these mom and pop places have very simple kitchen setups, simple menus and it brings a bunch of unique restaurants that people might never get to try otherwise into one place. Disney also get of easy as they do not need to come up with a new theme or menu. All they have to do is just have to copy what is already there and it still looks unique to boot.

Johnson's is just off I95 on Gulfair. Not the best area of town but it is so worth it. Beach Road Chicken is on Atlantic Blvd (Atlantic was called beach Road in the 30's) near the foot of the Heart Bridge which is about a mile east of where I95 crosses Atlantic.

Give me a shout when you are up this way. I'll be more than happy to hook up with you for some grubage.

Sure thing. If we stop...Our travel patterns have changed over the years. Now we try to get to Savannah in a day instead of just Jax. It's do-able....But whew!:hammer::lol:

Maybe they could turn one of the vacant clubs into a Jack Rabbit Slims...

Merriweather's Market? Was it a shop or restaurant? :shrug:

Although I never saw it (it was only open for a year or so), I'm fairly sure it was just that, a market with grub to go, souvenirs etc. It was the original venue at the PI Jazz Club location.

I got my current avatar from a Disneyland construction wall. Sums everything up pretty well.

Yes it does. But as for those other Fantasyland adventures.... :zipit:

Well, I'm interpreting "Fantasyland Adventures" as parts of WDW that don't cater to adults...you know the other 99% of WDW that is family-oriented.

Didn't Harley only move from a diffrent location about 2yrs ago and Curl only move in about 1 yr ago?

Never went in the Harley store, but isn't Starbillias a little small to open a store devoted to motorcycles in? Admittedly they had a lot of stuff crammed in there, but the Harley place near me is huge.....
