Darn, I was hoping it wasn't true.

We have NO idea why though. The thought among Cast Members is that this will push people into the World Showcase Restaurants at Epcot for lunch. They usually don't fill up at all.

I have also heard a completely unsubstantiated rumor that could be completely bogus and taken with every grain of salt possible that perhaps a character meal could come to the Diamond Horseshoe. Again, that could be a heck of a lot of baloney. We can keep our fingers crossed!

Oh, I'm disappointed! We've never done LTT, and I was hoping to do that one sometime.

That could be great! I used to love the Diamond Horseshoe years ago when it was a stage show. We would get a cold drink or an ice cream and sit and cool off for a few minutes.

That is so sad about LTT. That was one of our favorite character meals to go to the last few trips. I am glad that we got it booked for September, but still.

Re: ~*Rumor*~No more characters at LTT~*Rumor*~

Although I wonder if LTT will become something different with a more enhanced theme, and a new character dining experience will open up elsewhere.

Re: ~*Rumor*~No more characters at LTT~*Rumor*~

That's a shame. I guess we can cross that one off our list for next time. We should have done it last time we were there but we said no we'll definitely do it next time. Guess there won't be a next time, but there are plenty of other restaurants to go to.

Re: ~*Rumor*~No more characters at LTT~*Rumor*~

Allears officially posted it on their website...I"m really, really, REALLY disappointed that LTT won't have the characters....maybe they'll switch them to lunch instead of dinner (hopeful look)...*sigh*

Re: ~*Rumor*~No more characters at LTT~*Rumor*~

In all of the times that I've been to WDW I have never eaten at LTT. Now, given the fact that the characters will be leaving, I suddenly have the urge to try out this location.

I'm so sad. This was our favorite meal during our last trip and DS loved the characters.

Hmmm, if that pans out that would be wonderful! I used to LOVE Diamond Horseshoe when I was little, and a teenager.

Daniel seems to think they are going to turn LTT into a "Woody's Roundup" type M&G dinner, but I tried to tell him it doesn't really fit with the colonial American theme. Unless they change it.
