We're going to be in Disney for Thanksgiving and really want to eat there (we have some big Beauty and the Beast fans in the family), so my husband has been bothering Disney people nonstop about this restaurant. He actually called the Dining hotline today, and while the woman didn't have a firm date, she said that signs are pointing to first quarter 2013 - BOO! Again, this is based on a random cast member my husband talked to today, so who knows how accurate that information is
I think we can be assured of one thing: If Disney has something planned to generate revenue in a location that requires admission in the first place, IT IS TOP PRIORITY!!! If it ain't open, it's because they couldn't plug the stoves in yet.
