Temporary Buffet at Tomorrowland terrace

I heard a rumor somewhere (mabye here) that there will be a buffet set up at the Tomorrowland terrace to handle the surge in ADR's due to the free dining promotion. Anyone have any info on this one? Wondering if it might be a good alternative to leaving the MK as I planned to do to go to park fare....

Kind of pricey.

Re: Tempoary Buffet at Tomorrowland terrace

I wonder how soon they'll have the menu up. I might have to make a change to plans, maybe.

Re: Tempoary Buffet at Tomorrowland terrace

That seems a little bizarre... Maybe they're trying to drum up business for the place. It hasn't done too well since it's refurbishment.

Sounds like the free September dining crush has WDW planners panicking...

This just sounds crazy to me. How are they going to turn that place into a table service buffet worth $28.99?!? I guess I will just have to wait and see it to believe it.

I hate to think that with this buffet and with the new policy of trading a TS for a CS meal (and charging two DDP credits for in-room dining) that WDW is preparing to take advantage of many unitiated WDW patrons arriving with their DDP in hand and few or no ADR's...

Re: Tempoary Buffet at Tomorrowland terrace

Wow...weird. I hadn't heard anything about this until now. And I agree with Ginger...how on earth are they going to turn that into a buffet worth $30 a pop?!? I'm curious to see how this turns out.

Re: Tempoary Buffet at Tomorrowland terrace

$30 is the standard WDW price for dinner buffets. I wouldn't worry too much about how they'll do this. It's easy to roll in a bunch of serving tables, complete with electric warmers and chillers. It wouldn't take any more resources than setting up a high end Sunday brunch or buffet wedding reception. As for menu, again, I think they'll cover that easily as well. The only part I'm not sure of, is this area air conditioned?
