A.J. – Thanks for the link to Mouse Planet and their great history of Mama Melrose’s restaurant. You know how much I love the history of WDW and this is probably our favorite restaurant in all of the theme parks. The story explains why Mama Melrose looks the way it does. What fun it is speculating how it would have been if they would have kept the original theme. As cozy and romantic as it is, the other idea would have been a hoot, especially for Muppet fans.
Alan — You’re welcome! I thought it was great! I had no idea Mama’s was your favorite restaurant — very cool!
