I also miss these restaurants. I so miss ordering of the menu and taking your time over breakfast at Tony's. This was a must for us on every trip. The food was very good too. We only ate at Bonfamilles once but I remember it being really good. We ate at Boatwrights for breakfast many times while staying at the Port Orleans resorts. I always ordered sweet potato pancakes.

So I take it you didn't care much for Palio?

Aside from that, some Contemporary Resort locations like the Pueblo Room, and a few temporary establishments like the South Seas Dining Room, that's a pretty comprehensive list of defunct World restaurants!

 

[Uncleromulus]

Palio!! Of course. How could I have forgotten that? Always liked the strolling musicans there. Once they stopped at our table and asked what we wanted to hear. So I asked for a Sinatra song--Isle of Capri. Darned if they didn't know it--and played it!

Never went to the Pueblo Room--was in the Contemporary I believe??

And the guest star the night we went to the Supper Club was Billy Eckstein.

Does anyone have pictures of these? It must have been before my Disney addiction.

 

[Halle]

We only dined at Ariel's once..because they closed but we absolutely loved it.

 

[DVC-Don]

The only one on the OP's list I recognize is Concourse Steakhouse, and yes, I miss that one.

 

[michaela mouse]

Tangaroa Terrace was a family favorite. This is now O'Hana correct?

 

[Ron from Michigan]

Palio was avery good restaurant. We ate there several times over the years. I think I like there replacement even more Il Molino.

michaela:
Actually Ohana used to be Papeete Bay Verandah.
Tangora Terrace was in a building inside the Poly complex--not sure what is there now.

The first time we were booked to stay at POFQ, we were planning to eat at Bonfamilles but it closed a few months before we got there. On our second time at POFQ we wanted to go over to Boatwrights for breakfast but they stopped offering it shortly before we arrived. I felt like a jinx.

These bring back so many great memories. If I recall, we ate at the Turf Room when Disney Inn was the Golf Resort. Top of the World was wonderful. Loved the Monorail Yellow!

DH and I ate at Papeete Bay Veranda on our honeymoon back in '87. I remember it being large and bright with all the windows; and it was a buffet, with the most wonderful salad choices ever (can't remember the other offerings, but the food was all delish). I know we ate there for lunch, and that we were the only people dining there at the time!

 

[Uncleromulus]

Sadly, that's the sort of thing that probably spelled their demise---

Katallo: THink that was the name--Turf Room!!!

 

[Brocktoon]

I was going through my kitchen cabinets the other day and realized I have 2 souvenir glasses from King Stefan's Banquet Hall. I also have a couple glasses from the Fireworks factory

 

[Uncleromulus]

Good stuff!
I still have the souvenier glass from Papeete Bay in 1975--the Seven Seas Cocktail.

 

[cigar95]

The full service restaurant at the Disney Inn (before it became SOG). The name escapes me!!

Garden Gallery. It was the first place I ever ate at WDW, and I recall seeing Eisner and some other suits lunching there. Because the Disney Inn was largely quiet and out of the main stream, a lot of execs liked to eat lunch there.

There's a place with the same name at the new SoG, but in a different location.

You can say the same about Evergreen's - used to have the best burger in all of WDW, hands down.

Was Odyssey an intentional omission?

Not a sitdown, but I miss the Pasta Piazza at Epcot - wow, did the bread there smell good!!!

 

[ROEDISNEY]

Good Memories. The Top of the World ,Tangaroa Terrace. an the rest of them miss them.

 

[osprey6]

Fireworks Factory - Best pulled pork I ever had. I REALLY miss that place.

 

[Uncleromulus]

Me too--that's what I always got when we ate there. Always got a kick out of their black and yellow checked table coverings.

cigar95: No not an omission--just never ate there. Not sure why tho---
