Link for CR renovations?

[momto2]

Is there a link with time frames, etc. indicating the renovations for CR? We are booked for next year and are wondering will be done or not done? Also if the 'counter service' is not done, where can I find a menu or such showing what the current counter service has? I have read that it isn't much. Thanks

Disney is behind on its initial schedule for the rehabs at the CR. The new shop was supposed to be completed in August and the construction didn't start until Sept. It's rumored that they're hoping to have it completed before Thanksgiving. Disney has not started construction of The Wave yet. They just submitted construction permits to Orange County. Its now thought that The Wave will most likely not open until mid to late summer 2008 which would delay the construction of Chef Mickey's Express.

How can that would dealy the opening of the Waive? Since the Food & Fun Center is now closed wouldn't they have already started working on turning it into the Waive, or have they done nothing yet because of the construction permits?

That's my understanding, no construction has started on The Wave. Disney just submitted permits to Orange County about two weeks ago. Since its almost November, they have 5 months to get the new restaurant open by April. Most likely, that's not going to happen.

Well if you are correct which I believe, then it's a shame that the renovation is even more behind schedule.
