Do y’all remember in the before times, when Walt Disney World unveiled their Highway Sky Dine around, which gave guests the opportunity to dine around the 7 seas lagoon with 5 courses spread between the Monorail Loop hotels?
The one drawback, of course, was the monorail part of the plan. But now, Disney has a cooler, cleaner, fast and more reliable way to travel between parks and resorts, and it’s high time we had a dining experience to go with it. Put on your thinking caps, we’re going to design the Highway In The Sky Dine Around Part 2-Skyway to the Flavor Zone!
