REVIEW - Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo at Disney's Hollywood Studios

[wdwmagic]

Are these in addition to whatever was already there (WAS there anything already there, for that matter)? I don't recall having seen any pics of Ronto Roasters tables before, so I'm not sure whether you're saying that they've added/expanded a convenience (albeit unthemed so that they could throw something hopefully temporary together fast) or that they removed something themed and replaced it with generic tables.

It was completely open, expect the ledges around the perimeter walls.

Thanks! Hopefully they'll create a permanent themed table design soon, but it sounds like having tables at all will be a welcome improvement.

It is quite a high traffic area, and also a useful covered area for guests to seek cover during rain. I think overall they may be better to leave the tables out of it.

This and the TSL pop up shop proves that we are back in the Pressler era.

Wow. Hopefully someone very quickly gets all that removed.

 

[Ravenclaw78]

Fingers crossed that those are temporary while they manufacture more of the tables and chairs from the Docking Bay. Even *my* capacity for willing suspension of disbelief would be exceeded by those tables.

I didn't know they had an Ikea on Batuu

That's when you know Ops said "to hell with it, this capacity is ridiculous."

 

[MisterPenguin]

Couldn't they find some Star Wars bed sheets to put on them as table cloths?

Tables have been there since at least last Saturday.

Well evidently it's very last minute.

Well evidently it's very last minute.

And I’m sure temporary until the proper ones arrive.

Come on folks, get real. The tables are something that obviously was not planned by the Imagineering boffins, but when Operations took control they determined that not having seating was going to be a problem and stepped in with a fix. Its a food vending establishment, not a seedy dive bar cocktail hour.

It’s 12 parsecs away.

There needs to be a balance between operational needs and design aesthetic. Ikea tables in a highly themed area does not satisfy the design aesthetic. Making an excuse for that is laughable.

i don’t think anyone is excusing this but I understand that some things are custom designed and may take some time to be delivered to the location.

The land has been operating in California for close to 3 months and WDW ops has Ikea furniture in it. That's laughable.
