Jason Garcia is hard at work again. Here is the story for those who would rather see it here...

Looks like there will be at least one take-out restaurant inside the Bay Lake Tower, which is the new Disney Vacation Club resort Disney is building next to its iconic Contemporary Resort.

State regulators recently awarded Disney a food-service license for the restaurant, under the working name of "Bay Lake Tower Finish Kitchen." According to the license application, the restaurant will be a non-seating, take-out only eatery, it will be 693 square feet with one restroom each for men and women, and it will have a maximum number of three staffers working per shift.

Perhaps the most tantalizing detail of all: The projected completion date is Sept. 1, 2009.

Hmmmmm...

Maximum 3 CM's per shift doesn't sound like alot to me???

Opening in 2009 & they havn't started DVC sales yet???

"Completion Date" does not necessarily mean "Serving Food" date. I could be wrong, but I believe that date is an "estimation" and has more to do with "occupancy" allowance. In other words, Disney employees can begin to "move in" the items needed to have a restaurant/food service that are not directly connected to the space (think coolers, cash registers, tables, etc.).

But the final countdown is on!!!!!!!

darn it hoping for a sit down - well I think the plans showed 2 restuarants - maybe the other one will be TS.

September '09 is almost 14 months away.

SSR began selling about 9 months before it opened, and that was mostly out of necessity as DVC had run out of points elsewhere. AKV began selling 5 months before the villas opened, and that's more consistent with past practices.

SSR is sold out according to my guide.

We just returned from the World and at the rate BLT is being built it should be finished by Sept 1, 2009.

inside can take longer than outside - depends upon how much junk the interior designers decide to use.

i know horrible to thing to say...

this is not home makeover.

just remember AKV - never though we would even see those models...

Was it really only around 9 months??? Guess it just seemed longer.

I think I am more surprised by the "maximum of 3" statement. I keep thinking by comparison, the food side of the Food & Fun Center was not that big at all & you would have 2 cashiers & at least 2 people working the grill not to mention any people bussing tables. Guess it's just me.

It's still great to have something to look forward to! Can't wait to see what TPTB have come up with.

You dont mean, "finished", finished...you mean exterior building, right.

I'm so glad there is SOME news....it's been very quiet @ BLT for a while... So I could be staying there with the family November 09? That's SWEET!!!

Big deal, a 20' x 30' DVC snack bar.

Perhaps this news, along with the name of the rooftop lounge, "Top Of The World" off the liquor license application, we'll be hearing of an application for the grocery. Seems like a DVC to me...LOL.

Oooohhhh....I remember Top of the World- went there with DH when he was my DBF a hundred years ago! Very nice- my first trip to CG will be this November, can't wait to be "back"!

I wonder if they will serve BLT's (a house specialty) at the BLT restaurant?

 

[MrDVC]

Did some searching after Longhairbear's comments mentioning this lounge...
