Really, Really odd question. What are the walls made out of? There was a lengthy thread awhile back where some one was super put off that the castle was not made of real stone.

Just wondering.

Since we've seen pictures of them being constructed....


Metal framing. Plywood wrapping, then covered by the sudo-rockwork.

Thats what it says.

And just for dinner, select wines and beers will be offered that complement the French-inspired cuisine.

“As part of the overall theming, we wanted to offer wine that enhances the guest experience and complements the French-inspired cuisine,” says Stuart McGuire, Beverage Director, Walt Disney Parks and Resorts. “The wines focus primarily on France’s famous wine-growing regions, including Champagne, Alsace, Loire, Rhone, Burgundy and Bordeaux.

“We’ll also offer the leading French beer, Kronenbourg 1664,” says McGuire. “And, staying in the general region, we’ll also offer Belgian beers.”

Since Nov 19th 2012.

This has to be the biggest piece of news since they announced that FLE wasn't just a rumor.

It's the biggest operational change at MK since the elimination of ticket books.

(Or not. I just like hyperbole)

I agree--this is kind of a big deal.

Eh.... I wouldn't go that far.

Seriously... Look back at the pictures over the past month or so of them building the walls. I'm not really seeing any stone or bricks.

I do believe this would qualify as a "OMFG!!!" moment.

I'm really curious to see how this pans out.... and where this leads. (Both as far as MK Policies and operations.... As well as around here on the DIS)

 

[DCTooTall]

Ya know... Thinking about this... I just had a REALLY scary thought.

Their logic was "It only makes sense in a French Restaurant".



So if that's the case.... Why don't Italian wines make sense in an Italian Restaurant?


Or you know.... Mead and beers at a Colonial Tavern?


Or even worse.... 'How does it make sense to have a tavern without drinks?'.... so that opens up Gaston's and Tortuga.


I guess what i'm saying is that I don't really trust the current management to avoid the creep in the availability from opening this door.

That was actually my very first thought.

Quote from my 15 yo not 5 minutes ago when I mentioned this to him and my 18yo DD:

Great. People better not be barfing all over Dumbo.

We're not a drinking family as you can tell. (nothing against drinking from me - I'm allergic to wine and dislike the taste of beer, so the kids really don't think that much of it)

Are there any spinning rides in the other 3 parks?.... ah, yes, mission space, Toy Story mania and Dinoland has a couple... Don't think I've ever seen an issue at any of these. I don't think this change will cause any issues. I'm sure those who want to drink in the MK already sneak in their beverage of choice as it is. This may deter that if they know they can just go to a restaurant to grab an ale or vin.

Really sorry to see this. A bad move, Disney.

Really sorry to see this. A bad move, Disney.

I think it is an excellent move. It sets this restaurant apart as an experience...CRT remains signature with the princesses and this is turning into a nice dining experience, wine, a nice menu, beautiful castle...my only surprise is it is not two credits for dinner! I don't think it will creep in elsewhere...I think this will be part of the draw long-term and how one decides between CRT and BOG...a character experience or a dining experience. I also think it is unlikely people will be getting drunk on beer an wine over an hour dinner...the beer is not the bud light six pack generation...so I am not seeing a drinking around the work scenario.

Big thumbs up from me!

And the food shots on the blog look divine!
