Does anyone remember....

[roymccoy]

Does anyone remember the name of the little restaurant that was in Disneyland that served breakfast? (Especially omelettes?) It was over between Mr. Lincoln and Main Street. There have been many other things in there over the years.
Part of it was outside. I was just thinking about the place and it's killing me that I can't remember the name!! Egg Heaven or something like that?? Thanks in advance!

Me and another guy FROM Yesterland are trying to figure out the name of this restaurant! It's so vague in my mind that I am almost ready to say that I imagined it...until a fellow on Yesterland posted if anyone new the name of "the other" breakfast place on Main Street, next to Mr. Lincoln.

Hope someone out there can remember this place. It's starting to drive me batty! (battier?)

Thanks!

I think they may have renovated and put in a character breakfast a couple of years ago.....I think.

I think that you are thinking of the Plaza. This was in the little cubbyhole right by where the parades come thru and Mr. Lincoln.
I think it was open at least thru the late 70's or early eighties.

Still rackin' my brain!

We just got back an hour ago from our most recent weekend trip to DL . . . that area is a pin shop and pin-trading area. We were buying the really cool "ticket" pin set this morning (the one for annual passholders with the E tickets) and DH said "remember when this used to be a restaurant?" He thinks it was called the Main Street Plaza but isn't sure. I think it was still operating in the late 80s.

I just purchased "The Nickle Tour" book with all the DL postcards. If I find anything in it I'll post.

I will continue to search. I have guide books from the 70s.

You may want to post this question at www.laughingplace.com There are several Disneyland CMs who post there and may be able to find your answer.

On page 42 of "The Nickel Tour" (a great book about DL postcards) the author is describing an early postcard of the Wurlitzer shop, which was located next door to the restaurant in question. Here is what this book says:

"To the right of Wurlitzer you can pick out the "Maxwell House Coffee House," which opened in December of 1955 and was "good to the last drop" two years later, in December 1957. Hills Brothers Coffee took over and stayed for almost two decades, until December 1976. After that, the shop operated without a sponsor as the "Town Square Cafe" until 1978 when The American Egg Council opened the "Egg House." In October 1983, they scrambled their last egg and the Egg House became the Town Square Cafe once again, serving up breakfast and lunch until 1992, when they closed their doors, apparently for good."

It's hard to imagine that tiny outdoor patio operating as a restaurant!! This morning there were exactly 4 tables, with all seats fully occupied by hard-core pin traders all carrying binders and wearing multiple lanyards with their pins. The pin shop is quite small but busy. It's hard to imagine a restaurant occupying that space. Hope this helps!!

That's it!! It was the Egg House! Best breakfast in Disneyland! Thanks, everyone for all of your research and memories on this. I can't wait to tell my dad! He thought I was dreaming it!

Sure wish they woul bring it back!

The pirate ship over by storybookland? It was the ONLY place I would eat Tuna sandwiches when I was a kid!! I remember that they had tuna, chips, drinks and pirate hats (?) Anyone remember the restaurant over at the Disneyland
Hotel right accross from what is now the Monorail Cafe? They had the Mickey Mouse menus that doubled as a mask for kids! Don't remember the name of it, but I remember my Dad took us there a lot! (I remember that the part you stuck around your ears to hold them on would always cut the back of my ears!)
