And that's only the main pathway section. There's two other Barricade queues set up by the tram load/unload too

True. But there were no people in that area so I didn't take a picture.

I wonder if they might expand the cafe's footprint if it gets more successful. Kind of shocked they didn't do that from the getgo.

They underestimated the power of Kitty & friends

True. But there were no people in that area so I didn't take a picture.

I got there around 615ish & a line was present for both lol

Build it and they will come, indeed. Wow!

 

[Jerroddragon]

Yeah its great but also a mess

I feel like USH sometimes doesn't know what will be a hit or not...the way they treated the Nintendo cafe but didn't get huge lines (I think if it was where Kitty cafe is it would be much busier but still) compared to this is kinda insane but also shows why they should have more IP restaurants at citywalk, even if they don't 100% relate to the films you make

Also Disney take notes, give us a Indiana Jones or Star Wars Restaurant in DTD....the lines will never end. Also hopefully when the Simpsons rights are with Disney, if they don't build Moes then they just don't like money as much as they think they do

Most of this mob of people is for Hello Kitty Cafe


This was around 6:20pm.

I wonder if they might have to relocate the cafe to a larger location out of necessity. Karl Strauss could allow them to have a large queue and a good dining space for size density.

I’m curious too for how long this initial hype is going to last. If it’s nonstop, then a larger location should be considered.

 

[Wesker69]

The line was still going strong at 6pm, sure HHN helps, but yea it's a hit
