    Default Upstairs balcony at Pinocchio Village Haus

    Hi to all,
    Does anyone know if there is an upstairs balcony at Pinocchio Village Haus? When we were there in February my husband and I saw someone coming down a set of stairs, above Pinocchio Village Haus, opposite where Dumbo is. Is it just for cast members? Any info. would be great.
    Thanks,
    Kathleen

    I've never seen anyone coming from any of the second floors (it's scaled down). But if you did, it was most likely just for CM's or Maintenance.

    It's public dining space, but it seems to only be open during peak periods. We sat there in December 2006. If I recall correctly, there's an outdoor balcony as well as the inside balcony, separated by a "dutch door", but I believe the outdoor portion is no longer used at all.

    I haven't been there for a few years, but the last time I was, there was an upstairs balcony. It was all indoors and overlooked the first floor of the resturant. It is narrow with tables on the outer wall side.....

    Hmm, I never knew it was there. I knew Columbia Harbor House had an upstairs. I'll have to check it out next time.

    Default Great spot

    I don't know if I should post this, because we like our quiet spot. But.....We always stop at Pinocchio Village Haus for a snack. We sit outside on the upstairs balcony. It is a great spot to relax, and people watch. There is also a good view of the castle.

    It is a balcony that has about 3 or for tables for eating.

    DH and I had our lunch on the balcony last year and found the stairs on the inside. If I remember correctly they are right to the left of the windows over looking IASW. We loved it so much our lunch ended up lasting more than an hour. It was really interesting watching people in Fantasyland. It's amazing how much fun that was!
    Also cute and fluffy!!!!!

    You learn something new every day. We have never heard of this before and are looking forward to checking this out in August.

    I have heard mention of stairs, does anyone know if they have elevators to the balcony? We usually go with our favorite Aunt and Uncle and they are both in wheel chairs/scooters.

    This would be a great place for a break for them.
