Disneyland to close another food joint - Fast Food Maven - OCRegister.com: "Disneyland to close another food joint"
A week after disclosing plans to shutter three McDonald’s in its two Anaheim theme parks, Disneyland has now said it will close a fine dining eatery at California Adventure.
The upscale The Vineyard Room at the Golden Vine Winery — which was once sponsored by Robert Mondavi — will close Aug. 31, Disneyland spokeswoman Betsy Sanchez told The Register in an email statement.
Sanchez would not disclose what would replace the high-end restaurant, where a meal can run tourists about $30 per person.
“In the short term, the area will be used as additional seating for the popular Wine Country Trattoria. Long-term plans are still being considered,” she said.
The closure comes as Disney takes a hard look at revamping the struggling California Adventure. Earlier this summer, The Register’s Around Disney blogger Sonya Smith reported several changes planned for the park. Read her full DCA coverage.
Disneyland also announced plans last week to close three McDonald’s eateries located at both parks, including Burger Invasion at DCA.
Final thoughts: I don’t know about you, but I have never liked the idea of fine dining in a theme park. I hope Disney replaces The Vineyard and Burger Invasion with some good, fast eats. How about a Johnny Rockets Express or a pizza joint? Any suggestions? Write in.
