We have been there twice, once for a breakfast (special ticket) during
flower and garden month and once for a special ticket grand gathering
dinner...Illuminations dinner and dessert package. It is very nice inside
and I do think it is only used for special ticket items now.

It used to a fun place to eat. Good food similar to Cosmic Ray's. They had a character show, with Chip and Dale, Mickey and Minnie, Pluto and Goofy in space suits. It was fun.

It's open now for special events. We were there in May for some events for the Disney Doll and Teddy Bear Convention. I also went there a couple of years ago for an event where you could make your own wine during the Food and Wine Festival.
