I just found out that my favorite restruant "Hook's Point" is now only open on weekends :mad: . It got me thinking that is seems like thier are a number of restruants that are not open year around at the Disneyland Resort. What are some of your favorite restruants that are not always open?

I really liked Bountiful Valley Farm and Lucky Fortune in DCA, but I think those are gone for good. Now, all that's left in DCA is chili dogs, corn dogs, burgers, and pizza.

There's a lot of behind the scenes rancor behind Hook's Pointe schedule. If you are disappointed, I suggest you call or write (or both) to express your feelings. The people involved can't know it's a problem unless they hear from their purportive customers.

Start complaining every time you go.
"Why isn't Hook's Pointe open?"
"Why isn't Hook's Pointe open?"
"Why isn't Hook's Pointe open?"
"Why isn't Hook's Pointe open?"
"Why isn't Hook's Pointe open?"
"Why isn't Hook's Pointe open?"
"Why isn't Hook's Pointe open?"
"Why isn't Hook's Pointe open?"
"Why isn't Hook's Pointe open?"
"Why isn't Hook's Pointe open?"
"Why isn't Hook's Pointe open?"
"Why isn't Hook's Pointe open?"

One reason why it's not open is that management thinks that not enough people are going there to justify the cost of opening and closing the joint.

It's a revenue source, so revenue needs to show up.

Of course, you'll need a lot more people than you to complain.

Where exactly is Hook's Pointe and also, where exactly is Aerial's Grotto (is that a restaurant, too?) :)

Hook's Point is right next the Neverland Swimming Pool at the Disneyland Hotel. You should definitally give them a try when they are open on the weekend.

Go into the Disneyland Hotel area and follow the smell of barbecuing fish.

Bring lots of money. It's good food, well prepared, and that doesn't come cheap.

Yep. It's Hook's Pointe for me too. In a round about way it's one of the main reasons I've been to DL so many times this year and stumbled on Mouseplanet. And I actually cut a trip short once since Hook's wasn't going to be open for dinner.

It's not a restaurant, but I'm always bummed when the Dole Whip booth is closed. Right now it's closed until Tiki Room reopens, but it always seems to have strange hours when it is open.

Arghhhh! The Dole Pineapple Stand! I think every time I go there it is closed! It must be open for about 15 minutes a day, and I always miss it!

And I really, really love my dole whips.

I loved that place too; great food. My 11 year old would be totally into that place now. Last time it was open she really didn't appreciate it.

Don't tease me. What's open? I know if Big Thunder BBQ reopened people would be talking about it here. I've heard nothing.

I think (I HOPE!) he's referring to my reply about Bengal BBQ. They were supposed to open around now sometime...

I'm pretty sure it was only open for a short while during the summer. It was not offering BBQ food, it was offering a cold boxed lunch... sorta like a country picnic. I think even the menu board is down now. I don't walk that trail often myself, but I did about a month or so ago and I noticed it was gone.

Big Thunder Ranch does offer food. However, it is no longer the BBQ it used to be.
