Hmm. Not sure if I like the idea of cartoon-themed/named restaurants popping up in the resorts. With the exception of Chef Mickey's, it was rare to find a resort restaurant that used obvious Disney character theming rather than a more "real" setting directly applicable to the theme of the resort. This helped maintain a degree of thematic integrity in the individual resorts rather than go for the easier route of capitalizing on popular characters.

Even if Shutters was a more "boring" name and theme, I preferred it because it was a more "correct" creative choice.

I agree with PP on theme. But people want characters. Wonder of crab will be on the menu?

-Looks around and whispers the Little Mermaid Story was situated in Denmark-.

Seems like such a weird thing to do. You wouldn’t name Ohana Stitch’s Hideaway. Cheapens the experience in a way.

Yes, but where was Sebastian from?

 

[Tony the Tigger]

No problem with the name or the character. Can’t tell much until the menu comes out.

 

[peter11435]

Looks as uninspired as Triton's on the Disney Wonder. Oh well.

Nah... nothing is worse than that

 

[EricsBiscuit]

The design looks too modern. Not enough detail maybe? It's impossible to tell from the concept art but it looks like a reskinned Flying Fish.

Does Ariel's at Beach Club count?

He gave off an East Londoner with Jamaican roots vibe...I’m kidding. Brain fart.

I thought the same...very “punt” from a quality standpoint.

So is the character breakfast going to be announced tomorrow? Or do they wait a week?

 

[Andrew C]

Looks nice. Hopefully we can see the rest of it soon.

 

[HMFan999]

I could live with it if the character tie in was a little more subtle, but it looks like they're going to just hit you over the head with it.

 

[larryz]

I think most are missing the point. Another table-service restaurant in a "moderate" resort can only mean one thing: huge room rate increases. This muddles the line between the various resort classes considerably.

But. There’s always been a TS there. It’s just replacing Shutters.

Yeah...this is a replacement, not an addition.
The tacky theme is just that. But tacky sells.

And here’s the important part: new restaurant at Caribbean...revamped quickserve...one restaurant at new dvc...

Viola...there’s all those amenities for that $200 a point DVC on moderate bones.

Magic, baby

 

[ThatMouse]

It seems like they want to push the moderates well above the $200/night price point which just isn't worth it to me. We'll see after all the construction is done and availability goes back to normal.

This was so needed Shutters was drab and antiquated and I'm glad to see Sebastian who was a popular character from my childhood getting a little recognition. I just wish they would consider naming the TS restaurant in the future Riviera Resort to Ariels (BCR) so its not just a meeting room and expands on the theme between the two resorts.

I remember back in the 90s when Ariels was a high end seafood and steak restaurant...it was very nice...not sure why the closed it.

I don't think it does. I actually went Ariels back in 1991 on my first WDW trip ever. Ariel's at the time had no Little Mermaid theming at time. It did had a fish tank. It was a wonderful eating place though.
