Many of the restaurants on the DDP are not Disney owned. Every year, they renegotiate contracts (I think most are finalized sometime in Nov if I remember correctly).

So far, every year, most every restaurant ends up signing on for the next year. Disney just can't advertise until it's finalized.

I hope this is true!! :scared:
When I saw Cantina de San Angel NOT on the list, I nearly fainted! My husband LOVES this place. He talks about it everytime we eat mexican food, reminscing about eating at Epcot and dreaming of our next trip... We are going in April and I only hope it gets added back in!!!

Thanks for the info, I will try not to panic for now!
