Flame Tree Barbecue closing for extensive remodel at Disney's Animal Kingdom

[Master Yoda]

My apologies!

The have to have some place to put the gluten, sugar, peanut, dairy and meat free BBQ offerings

Yes I'm being quite sarcastic in that expecting every counter service location to have something for every dietary restriction or choice is absurd. It might be ideal, but its not economically possible unless they supply something along the lines of a (insert dietary restriction here) Uncrustables. I thought that the snark would have shown through. I have had BBQ tofu before, but every time its just tasted like the sauce and lots of tofu preparations contain gluten. Hmm gluten Free uncrustables

Those offerings need to be free range, GMO free, DNA free and organic as well you monster!

Are they going to offer the same food as the one in Bengal BBQ?

From what I've seen and I've walked around in the seating area (it's not completely blocked off) they don't seem to be doing anything to the seating area. The work seems to be confined to the building.

(edit) I was asking if any of the seating open... roj2323 seems to have answered that
As long as my son can get the ribs he loves from the temporary location, and sit in the area he's accustomed to I think he'll survive our July trip even if this work extends out further.

This closure gave me an excuse to try the new food over in Africa last week on my trip.

In the end I'm glad it was closed as the new food was very tasty.

so.. we have to wait until Iger is dead ?

Avatarland to be cancelled!!

 

[note2001]

Is it configuration issues with the old structure causing the delays? Workforce? Supply? Perhaps there were special elements ordered that the craftsmen haven't delivered?

I know none of us know the answers to the question... just thinking out loud - "People are going to think you're crazy if you keep talking to yourself." - Lizzie, Cars

Plot twist! Avatarland is actually the code name for a Frozenland project for AK. They are building a huge show building to recreate the cold weather of Arendelle and host an assortment of animals like Sea World did with Antarctica.

Anyway.......

Does anyone know what this tall tower with the posts sticking out is? It kinda looks like it could hold speakers or parade lighting? I noticed they only have two of them in this one spot so I was wondering if they're going to add a stage or something....

Please no! Flame Tree already attracts wayy to much "wild life" as it is. Disney needs to put up signs saying "No feeding the wildlife" in every language!

Then again, birds overhead would keep people from sitting on the nearby landscaping.

We wouldn't ever feed the wild life, but Mom did like to feed the tame birds which would come around our table.

Really, they weren't hardly scared at all.

The Winged Encounters show is near there. Maybe this is an additional post for those Macaws.

The show has been moved to the front of Tree of Life.

Photo update as of Friday, June 19. The Flame Tree Barbecue roof extension over the queue for ordering food now has some dark strained wood, and a copper gutter has been added to the end.

Half the damn parks are infested with 'land whales' for a reason.
