Sorry, I’ll put an “other” category. As you can tell, I’m not a typical poll poster!
I think so, isn't it the Blue Cross FL lounge now? Don't think it's coming back.Isn't Marrakesh closed permanently
I'm going to guess much of the reasons have to do with the staffing issues and some other things disney has in the works. Perhaps they have some planned remodeling or re-theming some of these locations or they have other plans entirely with these. These were all great with the exception of 1900 park fare. My kids loved the all you can eat aspect of it but the food was pretty blah. Not really holding my breath on any of these locations.With Monsieur Paul and Akershus coming back it had me thinking, what TS options are still not open after all this time?
(that we know aren't permanently closed such as ESPN Club.)
I can think of only 3. (If I missed one, oops! LMK and I'll add it to the poll)
EDITED: *** ADDED ONE ***
1900 Park Fare
Restaurant Marrakesh (or another moroccan restaurant in its place)
Takumi-Tei
Garden View Tea Room
Are you anxiously awaiting any of them? None of them?
Me, Takumi-Tei. Booked it for spring break 2020 and we know what happened there. Have been patiently awaiting its return.
Oh a date! I heard the rumor but nothing official. Yahoo!!Good news! It was announced earlier this week that Takumi-Tei will be reopening November 23.
I thought it was the insurance place only through Food and Wine. I guess if it's still there for the Holiday festival we'll know it's more permanent.I think so, isn't it the Blue Cross FL lounge now? Don't think it's coming back.
Yes, you're right BCBS only sponsors through the event but its owners filed for bankruptcy so until Disney decides to put something there, that restaurant is a goner. It's sad since it was very unique dining.I thought it was the insurance place only through Food and Wine. I guess if it's still there for the Holiday festival we'll know it's more permanent.
It’s not back to a lounge yet??? Crud… they have the menu showing up on the Disney site so I thought it was finally back!I want Tutto Gusto in the Italy pavilion to open back up as a wine and small plates bar... instead of overflow seating for Tutto Italia!
In the last couple of months they changed it so now you can walk in and get a drink at the bar and leave- but you cannot sit at a table unless ordering food. And the food menu is the Tutto Italia menu- not the antipasti menu like they had before (charcuterie boards etc).It’s not back to a lounge yet???

Thanks for that update. That was our favorite “secret” lounge.

So, basically go to the hostess stand and ask to sit in the cellar. Order an appetizer or two. That's what we did our last two trips. But it's not like before where Tutto Gusto had its own entry and you were seated in the bar area and could stay at the bar and have drinks there etc.
My family votes for breakfast back at Be Our Guest... the menu as is is too expensive and not to their tastes for lunch and dinner.Thanks for that update. That was our favorite “secret” lounge. Boo…
