With the restaurant not yet having "officially" opened, it wasn’t yet on the maps or most of the directional signs. Even though the building is rather distinctive and rather hard to miss, Downtown Disney is pretty tightly packed which means that individual buildings aren’t visible from everywhere. One other effect of the restaurant being in soft opening (and so new) was that we actually had a little bit of trouble finding it. This resulted in us getting a table almost immediately after we got there. In addition, my sister just met us there instead of coming over to the hotel, so she was able to monitor the wait time and jump into the line as soon as we called and let her know we were on the way over. Even though it was a Saturday night, it was fairly late (around 9pm) by the time we got checked into our hotel room and then found our way over to the restaurant for dinner. The main result of this was that they were not yet taking any reservations, which did at least increase the potential for fairly long lines. All the pictures in this post were taken instead by my father (most during a previous visit to the restaurant) and I thank him for sharing them with me.Īt the time of our visit, the restaurant was still officially in "soft opening" meaning that it hadn’t yet had its official grand opening and would still be operating with a few limitations. Giving credit where credit is due, I should mention here that I was so hungry and hurried to get to dinner that I forgot to take my camera along to the restaurant. It did turn out to be a good choice and really helped us to transition from the high-stress of travel into the fun of themed entertainment. Saratoga Springs is just a short bus ride from there, so trying out this new restaurant seemed like an ideal choice for the first night of our trip. This year, our arrival night dinner was at T-Rex Cafe, the newly-opened dinosaur-themed restaurant at Downtown Disney. After a long day, this is usually a bit late to head into a theme park, so we instead usually look for a fun place for dinner somewhere that isn’t overly far from the resort where we are staying. On our trips, we have typically arrived at Walt Disney World by around 8pm or so Florida time. When you add on the three hour time change (as well as the travel time to and from the airport), most of the arrival date is used up. According to police, the suspect drove off before officers arrived.(Continuing my very slowly-written trip report of our 12/7-12/15/08 visit to Walt Disney World and Orlando)Įven on a direct flight, the travel time from Los Angeles to Orlando is nearly 5 hours. Police do not have any suspect or vehicle information. "The guy should have never stopped his car and shouted racial slurs because of the color of his skin. Very, very chaotic,” said Joseph Jackson, who witnessed the incident. The two men started fighting as strangers rushed Holliday’s nephews, 8, 6 and 5 years old, away from the scene. “He got out of his car and I told my nephews to back up because I didn’t want them to get hurt.” And I said go, leave us alone,” said Holliday. "He drove up to us and got out of the car and was like what did you say n*****. The man, the report says, suddenly stopped his car in the middle of the parking lot and charged at Holliday. “We were just trying to have a good time and then the dude just came out of nowhere and started calling us n*****,” said Holliday.Īccording to the police report, a white man in a black pick-up truck started yelling racial slurs at Holliday and his nephews. On Sunday, he decided to take his nephews out for a “day of fun,” which included a trip to the Legends to see dinosaurs at the T-Rex Cafe. Robert Holliday told 41 Action News he was visiting his family after finishing his basketball season at Vermont Tech. Kansas City, Kansas police are investigating a reported battery outside the Legends Outlets after a man allegedly started yelling racial slurs at a college student.
