It is a construction site... If you look at the concept art of the entire expansion, you will see that there is a pathway between the mine train coaster and the Storybook Circus area where the "tents" seem to still be located. TLM also seems to be between the former red and white tent and the space where the mine train coaster will be.

Update: Not really FLE related but it is Fantasyland. The Enchanted Grove (currently under exterior refurb) will be renamed Cheshire Cafe when the refurb is done. No word on if the menu will change with the name.

probably no change to the menu, i dont seem to remember too many QS counters in that general area... just pinocchio and the food carts

Friar's Nook and the ice cream window between Pooh and Snow White's Scary Adventure.

i stand corrected, but i still doubt that they will change the menu altogether, perhaps an augment?

Given the way things have been going, they might subtract things instead of add

Why the Cheshire cat though? I would change it into a coffee/tea house (think Writer's Stop from DHS) and named it Hatters or something like that.

[dstrawn9889]

isn't the hat shop on main street called mad hatters?

I don't think so. I think they tried to keep from doing character names on Main Street. Isn't it some fancy name for hat? French or something, I believe. I can't think of it right this second.

Chapeau Hat Shoppe, or "hat hat shoppe" to fully translate into English

Ahh yes, Chapeau is what I was looking for! Thanks agingerbugg! It's nice to see you back on here and posting again.

When I think of the Tea Cups, I think of the Hatter, March Hare, Alice and even the Dormouse. Cheshire Cat is nowhere to be seen in Fantasyland... If memory serves, the only place you can see him at MK is on one of the floats in the ELP. Being one of the more popular characters from the story, I believe they want to give him more of a presence in the park.

[NaCler]

MadEye - I'm cool with adding more characters that don't receive any face time in the parks. But what does the Cheshire cat have to do with eating/refreshments? Make a Meet N Greet or an interactive game with him. Don't force his name on a snack place just to have his name in the Parks.

the disneyfoodblog had a preview of the menu that is going to be available at the Cheshire Cafe ~ it indicates the menu hasn't changed except for pricing, but acknowledges that the menu might change since the cafe is just in the first few days of operation.

here is the link if you want to see photos and read more about it... http://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2011/11/1 ... -and-menu/
