I nearly choked on my breakfast just now while reading about Flametree being closed, but thankfully it turned out not to affect my dates.
BUT... I think it's pretty [not nice] of Disney to announce this closure less than a month out. I know it's only a CS meal, but for me it is something I would have to mentally prepare myself to miss if I had to!

Actually, Disney announced the Flame Tree closing on Nov 18. Still short but not less than a month.

I saw some pictures on another site of the recently reopened Flame Tree BBQ and the Garden Kiosk's new menu. Flame Tree's menu is generally the same with a few differences, including a new watermelon salad that I can't wait to try (seems to be replacing the fruit plate). I love watermelon salads and can't wait to try this when we're there in August (revising where I thought our counter service meal would be right now ;-) ). The Garden Kiosk also has two new salads that sound interesting...but even more interesting was the cucumber-mint pomegranate lemonade.
I'm excited about all the new options happening in AK for food. :-)
