Flame Tree Re-Opening

[HoosierDisneyFan]

Anyone have news when Flame Tree BBQ will re-open? We are headed to WDW in about a month and hate to think about missing out.

The latest I've heard is that it has been that the refurb has been extended and won't re-open until late April.

It is so yummy, so I can understand you hoping/wanting it to be open!

That's correct on the extension to late April. However, the food from Flame Tree is currently being sold other places until the refurb is done. At least part of the menu is. Not sure about all of it.

Rekindling the Flame

2/22/15 Disney’s Animal Kingdom has announced an extension to the on-going refurbishment of the Flame Tree Barbeucue. The popular counter service location has been rescheduled to open on April 23, 2015. This is a several week extension from the original reopening date. A reason for the extension was not included in the announcement.

1/11/15 Construction walls are up around the Flame Tree Barbeucue as the multi-month refurbishment is underway.

During the refurbishment, Disney's Animal Kingdom has announced the following signature menu items will be available at alternative locations:
