Aunt Polly's Dockside Inn
So what's the story on this? During our last trip a few weeks ago, we were on the Island and stopped by to get some ice cream, but it was closed up tight. Is it still open, but just seasonally? Seemed like a waste to have it closed.

I think it is closed now, but I would love for it to open back up. What a neat place to have a snack!

"officially", I believe it is still on seasonal operation, but it has not been operating for quite some time.
As of July 2010, its operation was reportedly supplemented by two Coca-Cola Vending Machines.

I have heard and read in numerous places that Aunt Polly's is no longer open, seasonally or not.
-
We were there in late July/early August which should be the season - not open - Haven't seen it open in forevery and a day!

Same here - when DS was younger, it was a great place to grab a PB&J and a lemonade for him.
I can't tell you how many summers its been since we've seen it open . . .

This could most likely be a function of economics. This counter service was limited to the people it would serve. It could only serve those who went over to TSI and then from those people only those who wanted to purchase something. So, let's say that only 1/4 of the guests went to TSI on any given day and only 1/4 of those decided to purchase something. That is a very small amount of people making a purchase there. And when you factor in all the costs associated in running something like that, it would make sense to close it.

There was a time it was a must do for our family. We would go over and have delicious sandwiches served with great dill pickles. We would also get wonderful milkshakes, too. We were all very sad to see it turned into a shell of itself and now it is no longer. Just another "something a little different" taken away.

Well that's a bummer. Since it was no longer marked on the Guide Map, I figured the news would be bad. I guess just another Disney memory that I won't get to share with my kids.
I don't mind when an attraction is replaced with something new, but to close something like that and just leave it shuttered...just bothers me a bit.

It hasn't been open in quite some time I believe the last time I heard it was open was in 2007. However it is technically listed as Seasonal so maybe some day we will see it open again.

I guess that we should add that to the list with the Diamond Horseshoe and the Adventureland Veranda as abandoned dining spots on that side of the MK..........

Ah, but the Diamond Horseshoe is open quite frequently in the summertime when we've been in attendance - sans the entertainment, but you can still grab sandwiches there.

We were very disappointed this past summer when we got to Aunt Polly's, only to find two coke machines. We were then even more disappointed when neither coke machine worked. It used to be such a great place to have a meal, watching the riverboat go by. The only place you could eat in peace in all of the Magic Kingdom.
Next thing you'll tell me they're closing the upstairs section of Columbia Harbor House.

Next Trip: May 2017 at POP...again. Unless the FP+ thing isn't worked out. Then we'll go to Dollywood. Or just stay home and look at pictures.

The loss of entertainment at Diamond Horseshoe is a shame. I remember when I used to see the some of the performers on stage during lunchtime and then at River Country entertaining guests along the beach area later in the day.
The Veranda is a big loss. Though its open on occasion for grab n go meals during peak times, Adventureland could really use its own restaurant again to take the pressure off of Peco's Bill.

Aunt Polly's has never been open when we've ventured over there in the past 5 years. The last two times were late June, which would definitely fall into the "season" that it should be open. Bummer!

Just like the Oddessey restaurant in EPCOT.
It is a shame that so many eateries are closed. Frontierland only has 1 restaurant Pecos Bills which kinda shares Adventureland's guests.
Other than that it is Columbia Harbor House and Liberty Tree Tavern but they are table service. The next closest eatery is in Fantasyland at Pinochio's
First trip August 1975
Honeymoon trip Sept-Oct 2010
șoș It all started with a Mouse.
Your trip is what you want it to be and it will turn out just how you want it.

Having Aunt Polly's shut down is a real shame. Do they at least still have the rocking chairs on the porch/dock? That has always been one of our favorite relaxin' spots.

I really miss Odyssey - it was our favorite for a long time, until it was closed.
Columbia Harbor House is counter service; it just looks like a table service place. And, I hope they NEVER close the second floor seating area - great place to relax and have a quiet meal.
