Magic Kingdom Restaurant in early 80s

[elmjimmlm]

I have tried to find a restaurant that my family had been to when I was a little girl...I know it was in MK and there was a bluegrass type band playing...They didn't sing from what I can remember...I'm thinking that it was 1980-82 when we visited...Thanks...This is driving me crazy wondering where it was.

Can you find it in this 1980 map?

Any chance it was the Diamond Horseshoe Revue?

I would lean towards Diamond Horseshoe, too. Country Bear Jamboree show has a lot of country-bluegrass music. Aunt Polly's on Tom Sawyer Island had twangy music. We'd go there and get lemonade and sit on the veranda. I see Adventureland Veranda on the map PP posted, but I don't have any memory of that place. Probably never visited it. Tomorrowland Terrace (now Cosmic Ray's) had the stage that came up from the floor below, but I think performers played pop music as compared to bluegrass or country music.

Great, aren't they? I think it is from 1984. My Dad used to collect all kinds of Disney menus.

Oh my gosh! I loved the pb&js as a kid back in the 80s!!! Plus the addition of chips and a brownie. Awesome.

in MK and there was a bluegrass type band playing

1) Diamond Horseshoe Revue.
. . . In one show, I was selected to be on stage as part of the antics.
. . . I was able to stick around and did some bluegrass banjo pickin' with the guys.
2) They also had
. . . comedy among the audience
. . . singers
. . . stage comedians
. . . dance routines
3) Disney closed it because too much labor to cover the food prices and make enough profit.
