I got to go here with a girlfriend and her friends. Her friend was a babysitter for the guy from Creedence Clearwater Revival... John Fogerty? They were next door neighbors in "the hills". She also lived across the street from Tom Bosley and said he was a grumpy old man that would yell at anyone driving by and taking pictures of his house... but I digress.

Fogerty gave her reservations for 4 at the restaurant as a thank you. Because we weren't members, we still had to pay to get in to the park.. or maybe we just didn't know?

Anyway, it was very nice, very "Disney", like what you'd see on the intro's to the TV show. Looked like Victorian built in the late 50's/early 60's. Pretty neat.

I'm surprised people are saying the food was no better, they must have no taste at all.

My gf's friends were vegetarian, but one guy ate the Filet Mignon because it looked so good. Obviously he wasn't "hardcore". I remember it being some of the best beef I'd ever eaten. I don't usually drink alcohol, had I know it was the only place they serve it in the Magic Kingdom, I would've had something.

I didn't take any pics because I didn't know if it was allowed, and didn't want to get the babysitter in trouble with Mr. Fogerty.

Ah well, a very memorable experience.

And yes it's funny how the entrance is right there but you don't really notice it unless you're looking for it.

Funny thing, I remember the brass buzzer on the left side, we actually lifted it up and saw a plastic button underneath, then realized "oh... you're supposed to just press on the brass buzzer" Felt kind of silly...
