I searched and couldn't find a post. Does anyone know what all is involved with the Mel's refurb? Seems pretty extensive for how long it has been down. How different will it be when it reopens?
It wasn't in the best condition with seats in disrepair, etc. I hope we're finally getting backend improvements to the ordering (& mobile order) system to improve efficiency at QSRs.I searched and couldn't find a post.

Lombards and Alcatraz are next.Sooner or later, a restaurant that's been running for more than three decades is going to need a top-to-bottom overhaul. It's Mel's turn.
I wouldn't be surprised if Lombards goes down after Spring break.Lombards and Alcatraz are next.

Personally I hope for a real indoor bar, but you know me.Hope it keeps it's 90s classy aesthetic.
Sure. Glad they kept the previous menu, plus the dog additions. Mel's, and the era it represents, were about burgers, fries, root beer floats, so it's important they kept it. Otherwise, Mel's wouldn't be Mel's.I wonder what happens to Cafe La Bamba after this reopens as it was mainly reopened to replace capacity? TributeStoreBar? Cafe La Bamba doesn't really have much demand even on the busiest days.
Also, UPNT was able to take a few photos of the menu, looks the same as before with hot dogs now on the menu. Nothing to write about, but every US park needs one "safe" option.
I'm interested to see that as well. I wanted to try La Bamba during our last trip but we didn't have the chance. I always assumed La Bamba was opened to replace the capacity of Monsters Cafe though, lolI wonder what happens to Cafe La Bamba after this reopens as it was mainly reopened to replace capacity?

Would be a shame if they close it up again for VIP. It's a nice building to rest and take a brake from the sun.La Bamba has been used for years as the restaurant for the VIP tours
Eh, given how much Uni's fast food offerings have been improving, I was hoping for one or two more interesting options.Sure. Glad they kept the previous menu, plus the dog additions.

It is a diner at a theme park, what interesting items would you do? Not every place has to have odd offerings.Eh, given how much Uni's fast food offerings have been improving, I was hoping for one or two more interesting options.
Yes, it just adds unnecessary layers to what should be an uncomplicated process. After all, fast food has traditionally been fast at fast food restaurants just about everywhere. It's, bottom line, a very simple process. Why complicate it?I think the order on the phone system is complicated and unnecessary
There’s been times that I’ve been told at the door at La Bamba that the food would take an hour. Flooding the kitchen with the phone orders?
Only pro I’ve seen with the phone ordering is that the line to order at the register is really short
