Disney News, Discussion & an Element of Fun - 2022 Edition

Why doesn't Disney have a 'Casa Bonita' like Denver, Colorado? The theming seems so Disney. (And will probably be better when it reopens soon)

Casa Bonita is a fun place - but man the food makes disney quick service seem like fine dining.

I'm just thrilled the webpage will finally stop acting like a spaz lol

I mean it’s Disney IT so I still wouldn’t count on that.

Yes, the food was bad. Matt Parker and Trey Stone are revamping Casa Bonita right now. They said that the food would be much better when it re-opens.

I think I've eaten at the one in Boston (this was after a giant beer tasting at the seaport, so details are a little fuzzy - the restaurant is across the street from the venue).

There's only one left - in Denver.

There were like 6 of them in Colorado, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Texas at one time. There are other Mexican restaurants in other states named 'Casa Bonita', but they aren't related.

The Casa Bonita in Denver has waterfalls, caves, cliff divers, palm trees, rock formations, roaming mariachis, flame jugglers, puppet theaters, magic shows, arcades, etc. It's a unique thing.

I went to Casa Bonita back in the mid 90's and the food was pretty decent, you had an actual menu and server. It would've been more like Hoop-De-Doo as a Disney comparison. I went again about 10-12 years ago when my sis-in-law moved to Denver and it was just awful.

I thought I was losing my mind. I keep getting emailed there are new posts but when I come here I don't see them.

I tried yesterday three times to reply to a post in the DCL forum and it wouldn’t post so I gave up.

We had one in Oklahoma City when I was growing up. It closed a while ago. The food wasn't that great. It was fun and neat but definitely not as cool as the one in Denver seems. Would love to go to that one.

Good for them. Sounds like a win-win situation for the seller and the buyer.

Yesterday was “talk like a pirate day” at school. Can’t count how many times I had to refrain from yelling “She wants the rum.” Long week already, indeed.
