From an inside source so deeply placed that to utter the person's name on this board would jeopardize my mole's employment I have discovered that the current configuration of Raglan Road was not the original plan. It was to be called Angela's Ashes, after Frank McCourt's popular/heartbreaking novel based on his Irish childhood. My source tells me that the restaurant was to be 2 levels, with the lower level "Ireland" subject to flooding in the rainy season; unpleasant due to the communal privy located just outside the door. Patrons could climb the rickety stairs (looking out for the Angel on the 7th step) to the upper, dry, level, known as "Italy." The menu was to consist of fried cuts of bread, with the signature dish being sheep's head, served family style. "Save the eye for Dad! All of the nutrition is in the eye," read the souveneir menu I was shown. The drinks available were tea served in jelly jars or pints of Guiness served on caskets. Hilarious! Your waitresses, all named Angela, were usually to be found sitting and staring into the fireplace, drinking tea and smoking Wild Woodbine cigarettes as their ill-fitting dentures clacked. Magic your way dining was to be grudgingly accepted, but only if you could prove that you had done your bit for Ireland.

Well, I for one think this would have been a charming addition to the WDW dining landscape!
 
Very funny. Perhaps the the place would also be unheated, and the customers would have to rip down parts of the wall to burn for warmth? And we could steal money from the register to buy our way out?
 
I like your thinking! The possibilities were endless! They could have had a Host with the odd manner and to heat your meal you must send your kids down the dock road to pick up coal which has fallen on the ground. Other aspects of the theme had to be edited out due to not wanting to offend/get this thread removed!

Think of the excitement!

Every payday Donald would send Huey, Dewey, and Louie in to drag Mickey out so that he wouldn't lose his boat.
