So my husband and I went to Disney World for our honeymoon in April of 2000. I did manage to prove to my husband that there was once a table service restaurant at POFQ, where we stayed - Bonfamille's. We were young and poor and mostly did counter service stuff otherwise. But, there are a couple of restaurants we went to that I am trying to figure out and I'm stumped and DH is not helpful in any way shape or form because he insists things are totally the opposite of what I recall.
One place was fancy, and French, and I recall it having a BatB theme. It may have been Chefs de France since I really feel like it was in Epcot, but I recall it being more open and "ballroom" like with a more blue and gold theme than what I find pictures online, so I am wondering if anyone knows what it was like back then? Was that place billed as a Beauty and the Beast theme? Because that's what I recall attracting me. I haven't been to Les Chefs in our more recent 2 trips (there was, um, a 13 year hiatus) so I have no idea.
The other one is bit more difficult. I remember it being a Lady and the Tramp themed restaurant but in MGM (aka Hollywood Studios) so that would make it probably Mama Melrose not Tony's Town Square. But more importantly the place 100% had an outdoor seating area, with trellises and very quiet and private, and we got a pitcher of sangria. I don't see any outdoor seating areas in any of the pictures of Mama Melrose but it sure does look familiar. Did it used to have outdoor seating (or, does it still?)
Let me just say I could absolutely be wrong about which parks things were in.. We have not been to either Chefs de France or MM since, so I cannot confirm.
Is there a list of restaurants from years past, that have closed? Anything with pictures? Anything to jog my memory?
