An ice bar? Do they sell luxury ice cubes? Snow cones? What the heck? :shrug:

Think for yourselfer
Um, 1 for 3 isn't too bad I guess. :ROFLOL:
Polar Bar sounds promising.
Hot Dog place, I am not sure what to think of this. It sounds like a counter service location. Like Wetzel Pretzel. If thats what it is, then who cares about it??? If its more of a pub/sports bar situation, thats cool.
Not even going to talk about the third place. Terrible Terrible Terrible

So it's just a bar? Then why call it an ice bar? Is the bar made out of ice? Am I showing how much of a college student I am by thinking a bar is only a place to get cheap pitchers en mass? :ROFLOL:

Apparently that's what an Ice Bar is, a bar made out of ice. I can't see that working too well in Florida, but it would definitely be sweet.
And it's going to be in Disney, no cheap pitchers there!
Unless you're going to the Ale House off property...

That's my thoughts as well. It would take some awfully strong air conditioning units to keep the bar from melting in August. Would bars, stools, tables, etc. molded to look like ice be too cheesy?

I would think so. If you're going to advertise as an ice bar, you'd better make it authentic.
I could not see that making much money, having to keep the place covered in ice.

There already is an ICEBAR on I-Drive and it's apparently doing pretty good business: http://www.icebarorlando.com
I think the Hot Dog Hall of Fame might work. It would sort of be an alternative to City Walk's Whopper Bar: http://www.schusslercreative.com/hotdog_hall_of_fame.html
The first Backfire Barbeque just opened up here in Kansas City last week. I might give it a visit before I decide if it would work at PI. http://www.schusslercreative.com/backfire_bbq.html

Well, the hot dog place may work, although looking at the web site it does appear to be an overpriced counter-service place. The OCC place I've never heard of, but DtD could use a good BBQ joint. The ice place however I'm just not getting. The discussions around Dtd seemed to trend towards a need to make the venue more family-friendly. I'm not sure adding a bar to the scene moves the needle in that direction. I'm not saying I'm against it, it just doesn't seem to be in line with what WDW has been talking about recently for DtD.....

Actually, it really is a very cool concept, no pun intended. The ice bars I have been to EVERYTHING is ice, down to the stools. Everything is solid.
It would certainly help to cut some of those hot summer days. But it would be a power hog in the hot Florida sun!

Oh no, don't misunderstand me. I think it's an awesome idea. I'd definitely visit while I'm there.
This is what I worry about. The cost of running such a place, but as it has been said there is one on I Drive. That being said, I;ve seen the building, and it didn't seem very big, and I don't know what the scale of this one would be.

Wow, what vision Disney had in picking these.
