I doubt he'll be able to disclose his sources, but I can attest that he has been reliable in the past.
Extremely reliable in the past...getting back to a post 2 up...the ESPN Zone in Orlando is not like anyother ESPN Zone...the other ones are not as noisy...

The only time I've ever heard that it was closing was when I read Jim Hill's article. Personally, I would not be saddened to see this go for something I little more advanced and full of the "Disney magic." The last time I was there, I didn't feel the magic at all.

Disneyquest is not suppose to be a magical experience, what is magical about playing games? If it isnt something that pleases you, then simply dont go.
I enjoy going to DQ and hope that it will never go. I really like playing the baskeball game.
The Cheesecake Factory leaving DisneyQuest
http://blogs.orlandosentinel.com/business_tourism_aviation/2008/03/the-cheesecake.html#more
After 10 years as the source of burgers, salads, cheesecakes and other food at DisneyQuest, The Cheesecake Factory is pulling out of Walt Disney World's five-story, high-tech arcade in Downtown Disney.
The Cheesecake Factory Express restaurant there will be transformed into a Disney-owned and operated counter-service eatery called FoodQuest in late May. The California-based Cheesecake company informed state officials that its 55 employees in Downtown Disney would be laid off, though all may apply for new jobs at other Cheesecake locations, and at the new FoodQuest and other Disney World restaurants.
Cheesecake senior vice president Howard Gordon said his company signed on back when Disney had considered building many DisneyQuests, with The Cheesecake Factory Expresses inside, around the country. When that did not happen, Cheesecake wound up with an "express" prototype at Disney World, but without plans to build more like it. So Cheesecake officials decided to withdraw from DisneyQuest when the 10-year lease expired.
A DisneyQuest ticket costs $31 for children ages 3-9 and $37 for ages 10 and up.
There's been talk over the past couple of years that Disney World plans to close DisneyQuest and replace it with an ESPN Zone. Disney has strongly denied the talk in the past, noting that in 2006 the company spent millions to upgrade DisneyQuest. The rumors continue though. A Disney spokeswoman said the restaurant change indicates nothing except a change in operators of the restaurant.
The new menu will be similar to what is offered now, she said.
DisneyQuest is not closing.
I've long said there should be a bowling alley on Disney property somewhere. It would have to be HUGE!!! But I come from the bowling capital of the world... :lol:
I've been saying this for years as well. A bowling alley, skating rink, and billiards all at the WWoS complex. It would be genius.
