Interesting. They are out of space on the Landing. I wonder if they would carve a space out amongst the shops in the Town Center area. It's funny how things have snowballed. People were speculating that they wouldn't be able to find tenants to fill spaces and now they appear to have too many (at least fine restaurants).
It was speculation just based on the fact that nothing was announced though. I mean, DTD gets tens of millions of people through it every year, I was never worried about them finding tenants. I was worried about quality tenants, which it appears they have found.
The lineup seems solid (at least the dining lineup so far). It's yet to be seen if the demand can sustain all of these places together. Locals will have to play a big part in keeping the vendors happy. If the locals don't show and it's a Tuesday in November when there isn't a large convention in town I'm not sure the tourist crowd will be enough to keep all these places filled. They will also need to balance the availability between tourists and locals at busy times. If the restaurants all fill up with ADRs booked 180 days in advance people will be turned off. I think they will need to at least hold some tables back for walk ins. I'm pretty sure the existing DTD restaurants already did this.
WHOA!
Obviously the building is still there. In this case i'd think this is referring to interior demo.
BINGO
Right. Not sure that any work (demolition) has yet to occur inside.
just as I thought. Which means you will see it almost immediately upon coming over the bridge and no matter which way you turn, the parent company will get their brand seen.
You miss it now because Raglan is off by itself as a cul-de-sac in a construction area. Once the complex is done, walking by Raglan would take you into the Town Center portion of Disney Springs. And those walking by the springs themselves would pass by Raglan if they choose to not use the route by The Boathouse.
I was talking about coming from the other direction. Either way, the point is, without this new restaurant, you'd miss out totally on Raglan coming from the West Side if you go through the new pathway.
Good points. The dining plan is a whole other mess. How many of these places will accept DDP? If they don't will tourists shun them? If so will that hurt them enough to go under? It should be interesting to watch unfold.
