Wow 90 seats. How many were there before? We went there for our first time last we were there, and it seemed like they had all of ~12 seats.

It doesn't say anywhere if it is open or not during the refurb. Does anyone know if it's open or closed?

The existing bakery remains open as they work on the new one.

My father in law will be very happy to hear that they now have a bigger pastry shop and ice cream. Huge sweet tooth.

One of my favortie places in all of the World. Looking forward to grabbing a Napoleon there in about three weeks! I'm salivating already.

For man years it has been a long wait here. Maybe this will help.

Since the current bakery is becoming a ice cream parlor,,are they creating a new entrance for the new bakery on the left side of the current shop in the back or...?

After comprehensive changes/additions in Italy and Mexico, as well as Japan's quick service (and refurbishments at China's and Japan's TS a few years ago), it's nice to see them moving onto France. Perhaps they have plans for updates in every single country.

Of course, this doesn't compare to a new pavilion or attraction. But it's something new and improved.

My family is a fan of this small pastry/ dessert shop and we are glad that it is expanding. 90 seats will make a big difference to be able to enjoy the food. Yes it was charming to sit near the fountain but it was also hard to eat without a table.

I subscribe to the philosophy that you can't have too many options for Ice Cream. Glad to hear we will have another option in WS.

Back in July when they raised the walls, Kevin Yee said there would be an entrance to the new building back in the indoor seating/Kidcot area. Not sure if that is still the plan.

 

[MarkTwain]

Sounds like a great improvement! It's always been crowded every time we go in there.

 

[KevinYee]

Half of that entire shop is now blocked off, as of last night. There's no room for two more seats, let alone 68 additional ones, so the 90 seats must involve the new building 'behind' that door that was built last month.

About the only negative I can think of is I'm sure the prices will all be higher than they are now ... but if it's good stuff, then I'll suffer!

Is someone paying you to say that? I challenge you to say one negative thing about Disney.

Looking forward to Boulangerie Patisserie 2.0...this is one of the gems of WS if you ask me. In terms of the new ice cream parlor/store, I'm betting it's gonna be gorgeous inside.

In the ultimate mind-bending twist, it is revealed that 74 was a plant all along.
