Ah yes, I do remember those. I can recall purple grapes and an orange, but I'm sure there were others. That was mid-late 70s, and I think you could get them at Sunshine Tree Terrace in Adventureland.

And I do miss The Odyssey in Epcot (only ate there once, I believe). Total waste of a prime location now.

I think they should do something special with The Odyssey in the future. Hey - maybe I'll make that a new topic!

McDonald's may be gone from DTD eventually too. Disney is just waiting for the contract to end.

It's not a restaurant, it's a menu item.
I miss the Monte Cristo sandwich that used to be on the menu at Columbia Harbor House. It was sooooogood. Does anyone know if it might be available elsewhere?

Eons ago we used to go to Norway for the buffet.

Ok, it sounds strange, but it was small portions of hot food and cold food...and I think reindeer meatballs. really. and awesome smoked salmon to layer on potato bread...which they always suggested you slather with butter and cinnamon...and rice pudding made with heavy cream and strawberries that was so awesome.

We haven't been back since it became a princess meal location...nothing against princesses, love em, but back then it was about the food.

I agree with you about what they do with the restaurants, kcookiebaker. I used to love eating dinner at the Liberty Tree Tavern until they turned the dinner time into a Character Dining. TG the lunch time is still available without characters. Crystal Palace went character dining. It gets hard to find anywhere to eat in WDW without the character dining or some other promotional thing going on. Sometimes we just want to eat...

The Odyssey.

We went there for a character breakfast on our first ever WDW trip.
I have a video of the stage show and of our group with the characters, but cannot remember what we had to eat

I never understood why they closed this restaurant.
It is in a prime location.

I LOVED THE KIKOMAN RESTAURANT. They had the best chinese food, well at least for a theme park in the 70's and 80's! We would go there when we were kids for dinner when there was only the MK and it would stay open until 10:00 or 11:00 regularly! Ah, those were the days!!!!!!!

My sister says it was "the Pantry" or the Gormet Pantry. I just found this. http://waltdatedworld.bravepages.com/id22.htm Has names of other places in the Village too.

Thanks for the link. Some people on the net have photos on Fultons and say its the Empress Lilly - but when it has FULTONS across the top, its not the EL!

Liberty Tree removed the characters at the beginning of this year, sometime around January I believe. I did enjoy the character element there but either way I'll still enjoy eating there. Love the atmosphere.
