We go every summer and we haven't seen it open in at least 4 years. I remember when they used to serve cold fried chicken and ham sandwiches. Then it was desserts, and finally they stuck a couple vending machines there. Very sad.
We always go in the summer. I couldn't even say when was the last time it was open, it's been a while for us. It's so disappointing. In the summer heat, it would be nice to sit there, relax, and have some ice cream.
I miss it too. I used to love going over there, taking a break, and sitting and eating while watching the boats go by. Listen to the spiel of the keel boats from afar and wave at the people. Sitting there drinking a coke just isn't the same (besides no keel boats!) but at least it is cooling and refreshing.
1) If it isn't closed for good, it makes a good impression that it is.
2) You can only get vending machines, and sometimes they are empty.
3) The hinges on the service windows are even rusted.
For years I have been kidding myself that it must be open in midsummer. At least we can still enjoy taking a break and listening to the soothing sounds of the Haunted Mansion!
