I don't have the new menus infront of me but big changes starting this Wednesday.
Lunch will no longer offer a skillet option.
Dinner will be platter (aka skillet) only, no alacarte option. A dessert sampler is now included. Salad is no longer included.

My question as well. What about people with dietary restrictions? What about vegetarians? It seems to me that a skillet-only dinner won't work well for either.I also meant to ask you, what do you mean by no a la carte option?
Are there any changes to the breakfast menu?
Years ago when it first opened, the skillet was all they served at dinner. Not sure about lunch. The only desert option was a mixed berry cobbler similar to what they have in Artist Point now except it too was served family style. By the next year they started offering the a la carte menu as well. If it didn't work for them in 1994 I wonder what makes them think it will work for them now.
Hmmm, will need to see the menus when they come out, but I think we will be changing our ADRs around...
My thoughts exactly. Seems to me that someone at WDW failed logic class.
a) If you offer BOTH the skillet and a la carte options you capture 100% of all potential customers who might want a skillet; and you capture 100% of all potential customers who dislike the skillet, but like the a la carte food.
b) Offer ONLY the skillet, and you capture 100% of all potential customers who might want a skillet; and you lose 100% of all potential customers who dislike the skillet, but like the a la carte food.
Logic dictates that this move has to result in a decline in customers, as they will retain all the skillet people and lose all the a la carte people (like me). The only way this can come close to making sense is if there is a backlog of skillet lovers who currently can't get ADRs who can fill in all the gaps left by the departure of the a la carte people. But I don't think that is likely. I wasn't before. So why will it be now?
