Isn't it used for CM training or something currently? Hopefully it'll be torn down soon.So the ESPN Zone is still being abandoned?
It sounds like its meant to replace Steakhouse 55.That Barbeque place sounds pretentious and not like real BBQ.
I thought it was 2 locations?It sounds like its meant to replace Steakhouse 55.
Sorry, yes one Steakhouse and one BBQ place. I meant it appears the Steakhouse is meant to replace Steakhouse 55.I thought it was 2 locations?
Nope, all of the other stuff goes in the new DTD area where Din Tai Fung is located. Its the retail locations next to Parkside Market, with Earl's still to be built next it to. With the exception of Marceline's which goes into its same location but expanded.Is any of this replacing the ESPN Zone? Call me crazy but other than the steakhouse/bbq replacing Tortilla Jo's, I can't really pin down where any of the other new stuff is going with the art they shared.
Since I'm already doing screenshots for the other thread......Is any of this replacing the ESPN Zone? Call me crazy but other than the steakhouse/bbq replacing Tortilla Jo's, I can't really pin down where any of the other new stuff is going with the art they shared.
Fresh Baked is strangely "excited" about a standard early 2000s restaraunt being demolished.
That’s good to hear. I haven’t eaten at the one at DTD, but I really like how it looks on the outside, it stands out and looks more reminiscent of classic DTD as opposed to the duller looking places that have opened recently.Can confirm there is no drop off in quality at DTD’s Din Tai Fung. In fact, the chicken fried rice might be the best I’ve had at any of the locations. Impressive considering it’s still new and this particular location is even more hectic than their other locations. But they are a well organized machine.

I hope Rainforest Cafe would take over the former Rainforest CafeI hope someone would take the former Rainforest cafe.
Was Downtown Disney a place that was truly immersively themed?It all looks like the continued sterilized “modern” shopping center look to me, with a few IP nods thrown in. I miss the immersive theming and fun they used to put in, which made it distinctive.
We used to have RidemakerZ and D Street. The most immersive things Disney has ever done and now we have nothing.Was Downtown Disney a place that was truly immersively themed?
I'll agree that the look was more consistent and clean, and individual places could certainly be well done, but I don't know if I would have every called it immersively themed.
