Saw this on another board . . . interesting! We saw some of these changes last weekend already happening!

Downtown Disney is undergoing many changes, starting with the closure of the Pleasure Island night clubs on September 28. Among the plans are:

The stage at the Marketplace will be expanded and covered and will host Magic Music Days performances

Hanes is opening a shop where you can create your own T-shirt designs

Fulton's Crab House is going to update both the interior and exterior spaces

Portobello Yacht Club is becoming a "Tuscan Country Trattoria" with expanded outdoor seating, resdesigned interior/exterior and will feature family style dining - THIS VENUE WILL BE CLOSED FROM 9/27 - 10/12

E-Brands Restaurant group is planning to open a new waterfront dining venue featuring Central and South American dishes and live music

T-Rex, the prehistoric themed restaurant, is expected to open October 14

Wolfgang Puck's Cafe on the West Side will install glass enclosures to the patio as well as update its interior

The West Side will have a tethered balloon which will allow guests to view the Walt Disney World Resort from 300 feet in the air

It should all be done by the time I finally get back down there...change is always exciting.

It was a strange feeling to walk through DTD last week with all those clubs closed.

I did go inside the T-Rex restaurant to check it out. It truly is just another RFC with new animals. Little kids will love it.
