San Angel Inn not closing for renovations!

[KennySC]

I just talked with Disney Dining and the San Angel Inn renovation has been postponed!

 

[Mickey_Man]

That's too bad. Would have been nice to see them renovate the menu, the cooking, and the service. Oh - those were going to be physical rennovations? Those can be postponed - it is the food that is the real problem here.

Did they tell you when the postponed rennovations would be?? We are hoping to eat there for the first time in Dec!

I dont care about the restaurant I just want to be able to get into the pavillion for the ride, I have to do it atleast twice on every trip, just for sentimental reasons even tho they changed it!

well dang it...we wanted to go there in May & they wouldn't book it because of the close-for-renovations excuse. Now DD has her heart set on Les Chefs instead so I suppose by the time we get to WDW again they will close it for reno.

And me, in Nov!! It's so pretty in there, I just HAVE to eat there, even if the food is as bad as lots of DISers seem to think!

I actually liked the food there, all three times I've eaten there.

Interesting... I was able to book it w. no problem for dinner on our may trip (6:15 on 5/28) but for lunch on 7/5 the CM couldn't get it to work at any time (said her notes referenced a "partial rehab")

We wanted to try San Angel this trip but couldn't make the ADR due to the renovation. We may have to try again.

I called this morning and got a May 20 ADR, had my choice of times.

that happened to my husband and I as well. He actually sat down and chose two places he would like to eat on our anniversary trip 6/3-6/7. I am the Disney freak in the house and he just goes along with it for me. He wanted to eat in Mexico-this was his one request, so when I called, they told me I couldnt schedule due to the renovation. We booked Teppen edo instead-which I am happy with as the food was great, but now I feel a bit guilty if I dont try and change the ressie to his first choice--although he would probably never know

I was hoping to eat there in August!!!!

Do you know if it will be closed then?

I swear I could have written this! We are going the same dates, DH wanted Mexico for dinner but it was closed so we decided on Flying Fish instead! Now I am going to cancel FF and try and get into SAI because with our luck SAI will be closed in Oct when we are supposed to go!
