Unfortunately, the cost of operating the restaurant in this economic environment proved to be too much for the Disney owned and operated venture and they closed it down last week.  Approximately, 140 people lost their jobs.  On the bright side it opens up a prime piece of real estate for another restaurant for the area so stay tuned.
