The Boat House construction at Disney Springs The Landing

Idk who it is but they keep saying that from the outside it looks "family-friendly". But how so? It reminds me of Yacht Club v. Beach Club. Beach Club's icon is the shipwreck turned water slide - this tells guests "wow much fun very cool". Yacht Club's icon is a classic grey lighthouse. There's something about looking at it that says "upscale/maybe not for kids". Boathouse reminds me more of the latter than the former. TRex will draw a kids eye. Rainforest will blow a kiss mind when it blows fire. Kids will look at the boathouse and not be all that impressed because they don't see it the same way adults do.

EDIT: Actually, as a kid I only would've wanted to go into the Boathouse to see from the top of the Lighthouse. As soon as someone told me I couldn't I would quickly move onto the next location.

Eh, when the premise of the argument is "a high end steakhouse will confuse and anger guest walking by" it's really hard to formulate a reply not embedded with at least some snark.

I typically find it difficult to form any sort of reply without snark. I'm like the evil twin brother of Snarf from the Thundercats.

its fine if it wanted to be a high end steakhouse, but then make it look boring and stiff, not fun and family friendly from the outside.

This whole thing could have been avoided by calling it

THE YACHTHOUSE, then its obvious its only for the rich.

There are a dozen restaurants at WDW that are on the same price point or higher.

CRT, Le Cellier, artist point, flying fish, etc, etc.

They aren't removing low cost and moderate restaurants and replacing them with expensive ones. They are just adding new restaurants across the board- some of which are expensive.

Does no one remember that walt sold tickets to the rides? Can't afford an E ticket- buy a B. Some people can't or won't spend on certain things. That's fine. The "anti-elitist" talk is just as bad as elitist talk. I'm all for variety- low cost, moderate, and expensive. Did you know wealthy people go to WDW as well as not wealthy? Should they all only be allowed to buy an $8 burger? Is this Six Flags?

Some of Yall are unreal.

Agree, it would be elitists and discriminatory if they had removed all affordable food and replaced them with high end.. so pretty much barring the normal or lower than normal economic group.

What if the Boathouse had one night a week that they had lower price options as their main menu?

Meatloaf Monday?
Taco Tuesday?
White-Trash Wednesday?
Thermos Thursday (discount if you bring your own thermos full of hot water to cook your ramen in)?
Food-Stamp Friday?

thank you, I suddenly imagine Lego Movie's "TACO TUESDAY" part. :hilarious:


Also, remember kids, from now on, you will pay me 25 USD for every time you write "Disney is a Business(tm)" as I have trademarked it.. IM A GENIUS!

I'm surprised that the trademark office let you use a corporate branded name in your Trademark! I'm sure that the name Disney was trademarked years ago. I mean The Walt Disney Company IS a business after all. They'd want to protect that...

While I understand what you are getting at here, and also with the other restaurants we know about in Morimoto, STK, and The Edison will all likely be more expensive than your standard fare at Raglan Road, it's pretty unfair to look at a single dining menu for a huge expansion and jump to the immediate conclusion that the entire Disney Springs project is going to be all high-end focused.

Havianas was one of the first stores to open. That would be like assuming that every store is going to sell flip flops because of it, or that they were all going to sell items in a specific price range based on the cost of their flip flops.

Hold the phone. MORIMOTO is confirmed!? How did I miss that?

I'm tired of the talk about "elitism". It's a restaurant that wants to open and charge higher prices for its food. If the quality or service are not worth the price then it will close down or change its business model. Why does this bother so many people on here?

Just going to chime in....the prices may look high, but they are right in line with a high end steak house. Pretty simply it's not for everyone. I don't understand why people are upset by this. You get what you pay for, and if the quality and service are exceptional then I would pay that. I've payed more for steak at Delmonico's in Vegas. It's not something you do all the time but i would rather eat out less often but dine at high quality places.
