Kouzzina by Cat Cora opens at Disney's Boardwalk!

Just saw this over at DISUnplugged.com. Looks really nice but not that different, in appearance, than Spoodles. I think the kitchen got the biggest make over. All that shiny stainless steel and copper looks great. I actually really liked the food at Spoodles but I am really looking forward to trying Kouzzina.

I called WDW Dining to check this because when the restaurant was announced I had heard that it would be a “Signature Dining Experience”. Which, if you are on the Disney Dining Plan would require the expenditure of 2 table service entitlements. However, I was told today by WDW Dining ( 1-800-WDW-DINE ) that the restaurant would require only 1 Table service entitlement.

We usually get the DDP when we travel to Disney so that is a plus. I was afraid that they were going to put two “Signature Dining” restaurants right next to one another ( The Flying Fish Cafe is a “Signature Dinging” restaurant. ).

The only thing missing from the Boardwalk is a counter service option. That was one of the most inconvenient things when we stayed at the Boardwalk and had the DDP. We tried to spend the day at the resort but had no way to use our DDP to get lunch. We ended up heading to Earl of Sandwich at Downtown Disney, if I recall correctly.
