No more Spoodles at the Boardwalk

[oakmanner]

I have to disagree regarding Disney run resturants being sub par. Unless I'm mistaken Le Celler, California Grill, Jiko, Boma just to name a few are some of the best dining options WDW has to offer. All are Disney owned and operated.

RainForest Cafe, T-Rex are chain type resturants that you can eat at back in your home town. I'm for Disney operating as many places as possible. JMHO

Me, too. Disney is much easier to work with with food allergies than chain restaurants who get a lot of stuff pre-packaged.

Anyone heard firm dates on when Spoodles goes dark or when Cat's opens?

I actually wrote Cat, and she wrote me back..
Nothing to say currently until more information known closer to Fall/Winter, is what she says..
She'll be posting it on her website as news..
Given that she's also pregnant, I'm sure she's quite busy! so, probably no news till later this year I bet

We ate breakfast and dinner at Spoodles last fall and again two weeks ago. Food and service were both top notch. They even e-mailed me a recipe for their Rigatoni dinner...... which I've already used.

I will miss Spoodles

We only got pizza at Spoodles, but the Boardwalk needs a pizza joint, right??

I thought I heard that the ESPN Zone was supposed to move from the Boardwalk to DTD? If that's true, they could still have a small pizza shop open - what's a Boardwalk w/o pizza???

Where did you hear about the ESPN Zone moving? I hope it dosent!

Over the years we have had decent dining experiences at Spoodles. However, we were there Christmas Eve and the meal was poor. The worst I had experienced. I have heard mixed reviews about Spoodles over the last couple of years.

I hope they have a pizza window somewhere. I agree it would not be the Boardwalk without pizza. It is excellent.

BUt change is good. I agree with the folks who are glad it is a Disney restaurant.

As for ESPN Zone moving. Now that Virgin Mega Store is closing at the end of may at DTD, the rumors of an ESPN zone move may happen. We will have to wait and see.

The best restaurants tend to be those that are outsourced. Disney really isn't very good with food.

Hey now! They make a killer hamburger! Spice it up with a slice of cheese and...WOW!!

I won't miss Spoodles. Over the years, the quality of both the food and the service has declined. I'm really looking forward to its replacement!
I also heard that ESPN was moving to DTD (on this board, I think ). At that time, I wrote that all or part of the space should be converted into a decent CS restaurant . Having been a BW owner for about a dozen years, it's the one thing that I've always missed.

ESPN is not moving according to the people that work there. They recently signed a long term lease to stay.

I would like to know this too! We are planning to make a ressie for July???

I hope ESPN stays.
One of the few places with regular guys bartending.

I had heard that the Dance hall was closing.
Hope they putsomething good there.
