A new dining experience coming to California Grill though? That's concerning. It seems the trend is that Disney sees what is popular and will be booked regardless and takes a budgetary axe to it. Will California Grill become the new Tony's Town Square?

Casual steakhouses are pretty common throughout the US... Outback, Longhorn, Ponderosa, Black Angus, Texas Roadhouse, etc.No I hadn’t. I tried to look them up but they denied me access to their menus. “You are not authorised ..blah blah…”! Apparently they don’t want foreigners to know about them.

This. ^^^^ Not even when directly called out by Disney.

I have no sources... But, I bet feelers like Tom's story was fed to him by insiders to see how the fan community would react to such changes. Based on feedback, both here and on Insta and Twitter, Disney changed their idea. Seems that, once they make up their mind, they rarely change it. Here's hoping they grant my wish to re-think Genie.

I love how they had to post a picture of Moana in tiki room they found on some imagineers online portfolio one time with “SEE WE WERE RIGHT THEY WERE GOING TO PUT MOANA IN TIKI ROOM” like dude the imagineer could have drawn all sorts of things doesnt mean it was ever going to happen or even ever commissioned by Disney. I’d have some respect for them if they would just say we got this story wrong, but they’re too proud for that.
On topic, really excited for this one, love the logo

To be fair…. Disney did have plans for both Tiki and CBJ. Although as usual the other site got most of the details wrong.

Oops. Fixed that. CBJ.
The attraction was indeed going to be rethemed to Country Bear Revival. It was going to be an old timey Southern Baptist hymnsing: with classic sacred music such as: Rock of Ages; Amazing Grace; That Old Rugged Cross; and Just a Closer Walk With Thee.
Guests could even go up during an Altar Call and be baptized by Pastor Henry.

I'd totally go to that multiple times! Sounds fun!

That's not bad at all. If only they'd done more like this for the rest of the hotel.
