Since we normally go in Sept or Oct, we don't really expect this to be open.

But, after talking about where we'll eat in Oct, we'd like to try here.

Anyone know?

It wasn't open when I went this past October 2009, but you never know :mickey:

Very rarely in October and not in the last at least 3 years. We have seen it open then but I would not plan on it.

Haven't been there awhile in october but I would think if it were to be open at that time it would probably be on a saturday or sunday if they are expecting large crowds.

I was pleasently surprised to see it open two weeks ago. It had limited hours 11am till 3pm.

I've never seen it open. I'm beginning to think it's an urban legend with just a false facade.

Nope, it's not an illusion, I ate there on Wednesday. It's just used as an eatery during super busy times like spring break and holidays.

LOL - well- I have actually seen it but only in summer, once. It's too bad because it's a nice a choice to have in all the burgers and chicken fingers. I wish they would have it open all year.:(

We always go to WDW in the Fall and have never seen it open. I keep hoping...this year we're going in December...trying not to get my hopes up!
With all the posts that come along about this place, you'd think it would do well all year!!

That reminded me that the last time we saw it open was a few years back on the Columbus Day (our Thanksgiving) weekend. So what you say fits.

It was open regularly in the early to late 1990's and then it became 'seasonal'.

I'm with Scar. Had lunch there with my family back in 1978 and haven't seen it open since then.

Too funny, I just told my DH last night, that we have never been there when this resturant was open, he said "that is because it is just pretend" ;)

For 4 years running, we were September visitors and DH & I would always hope to see it open and eat there - but no such luck. In 2009 we went in August - and I can't explain our excitement when we saw it was open. We couldn't believe our eyes! We were so glad to finally be able to eat there and would love to do so again - if only we get so lucky.

I don't remember when I last saw it open. I was even at the MK on the 4th of July last year and it wasn't open!

It's kind of like the noodle station. I have yet to see it open.

I saw it for the first time last September during a MNSSHP. I wish it would open again the begining of May when I go next.
