Restaurant Grand Opening Question?

[CLR4321]

I just booked an ADR for 6:05pm at Kouzzina by Cat Cora on the grand opening day! It just happens to be the day we get there, Sept 17th...so we are excited (even more than before at least!)

I was wondering though....what does WDW normally do for grand openings for their restaurants? We are hoping for an appearance by Cat Cora and perhaps Mickey or some other characters. We can hope! Has anyone ever been to a grand opening for any restaurants?

Just thought I'd bump this. I am curious to know if anyone has any info on what we can expect!

I believe if you go to allears.net, one of their people went to the grand opening of Sanaa recently, and there was a review of it. I don't think there was that much fanfare...

As for Cat Cora, someone mentioned that around the time of the opening she will have a 5 month old and a 6 week old (or something close to that) at home in CA so it's not probable that she will be showing up (I know I wouldn't be! LOL)

I did a search on allearsnet and couldn't find anything about this restaurant. Where is it going to be?

Never mind...good ol' Disboards - I searched the restaurant forum and found it. Looks like it is replacing Spoodles?

...a little disappointed - tried to make lunch ressie's for our upcoming trip but the restaurant only does breakfast and dinner.
