I hear ya- I remain hopeful that the "old Disney" will resurface in a shiny new package one day, but until then, my family will be having fun and dumping our cash at UOR

I was there once when I was maybe 13-14. I'm 34 now. I just went there this Wednesday... I can't wait to go back! I don't know why I avoided it so long. Cabana bay looks like it might be my next hotel too. As long as prices are reasonable.

So are they going to be opening up Disney Springs in blocks over the years or are they waiting to open everything new in 2016?

Beginning to regret booking for this summer as it seems most of downtown Disney is under construction

It will be phases, with the first phase being end of 2014.

Like right at the end of the year or close to the end of the year? Would be awesome if we could get a glimpse of Disney Springs when we go there in September.

Another person with food allergies here... is there a date for when it is set to close? we are going to be there the 21st of this month and I was hoping to order myself a birthday cake from there.. this is a huge loss for me I always started my mornings there stopping at DTD for some donuts in the morning I really hope they get incorporated back into the mix of store that are going to open with Disney Springs

On last WDW trip was super excited to go to BabyCakes bc I'm Gluten Free and have allergies/autoimmune issues. The problem I discovered was when they make their cupcakes and such GF there they use other products and by products that are my exact allergies so, no loss for me that they are going away.

I loved the chicken at Pollo but the side dishes were terrible!

 

[flynnibus]

I can never think of Pollo C anymore without thinking of Breaking Bad

 

[rael ramone]

The Pollo Campero didn't seem 'authentic' w/o the Latin music playing or the tamarindo on tap...

(is a non-alcholic beverage ever 'on tap'?)

That said, it' was the only 'available at home' food that I sought out there. While the sides are 'ok', the chicken is tremendous...

I guess this will give me an excuse to try Earl of Sandwich...

You should try gluten... it's delicious.

Then would you like to accompany me to the restroom for three days straight and hand me the toilet paper? Or perhaps hold my hair while I vomit?

I have celiac disease. Your humor doesn't humor me.

I love Baby Cakes! I Always buy those cupcakes I hope they move somewhere else in Disney Springs!

 

[WWWD]

In Disney time, didn't this place just open up? They probably still have it listed as new on the guide maps.

November 2010 it opened.

I feel sure there will be a replacement for both of these businesses...there will probably be a Disney Branded Pollo Carioca's and a Disney babies Cakes...where you will be able to get Gluten Free cupcakes in fun Disney flavors... lol

Hey! They will still be baking for the Resorts and Parks - especially cakes. Give them a call at 407-938-9044, they are super nice and helpful.

I know of several people who are genuinely allergic to gluten, one of which it is literally a life & death matter.
Others have 'self diagnosed' themselves and may very well not (I heard somewhere that among young people for each one that has an allergy there are 4 that claim they do but really don't). Between the 'definites' and the 'possibles' there are plenty who want (in many cases *need*) gluten free options.

Having 'professionally' prepared gluten free options (as opposed to 'in-house' where cross contamination is more likely) can potentially save a life.
