Agreed, leave the snapper alone!

We happened to be staying in a deluxe Boardwalk Inn room right above the Flying Fish so I grabbed this photo from our balcony. The photo is loading in perpendicular to how it actually appears so apologies for that.

This is a really fun concept. Can't wait to see what they come up with.

Just anxiously waiting for The Flying Fish to open up for reservations again, going to be there in December and still can't book a table.

Even though I knew better I always thought of Planet Hollywood when I walked past the Flying Fish sign. The colors and design are similar.

Only Disney could create such convoluted back story for a bar that nonone will even know about it. It's a bar with a magic theme end of.

The convoluted back story is meant for guests who are willing to put in the effort to understand it.

As is the case for just about every classic WDW attraction. I enjoy that Disney is still willing to avoid aiming at the lowest common denominator when it comes to theming.

One month till the scheduled reopening of the Flying Fish, wonder if that's still the expectation. I hope so.

Ah, ok, I knew something seemed off on that August date in the Refurb page.

The November date changed, should be August.

Oh, dear. Someone forgot to run spell check, or consult a dictionary. "Elixirs" is misspelled on the signage.

Good spot! I didn't notice.

Ha! It jumped right out and punched me in the eye.

They will have to change that!

 

[bethymouse]

I wonder exactly what date in August?

 

[DisneyRoy]

The November date changed, should be August.

I hadn't heard that yet! That is awesome news! Should be open by the time I get there in October then! I'm guessing they would wait until it's almost open to open reservations?

Photo update as of Sunday, July 17. The exterior sign for The Flying Fish has been re-painted and neon fish restored. The awning over the door has yet to be installed. The staff will be training inside the building this coming week, but there is much to be finished both inside and outside. Looks like an early August opening would be appropriate.

Next door, a red awning over the front entrance to AbracadaBar has been installed....and spelling corrected.
