Writer's Stop

[disfamz]

DFB is saying they think Writer's Stop will be closed down with the other attractions/restaurants/food carts/etc to make way for the new areas. Anyone hear anything about this? I really hope not! It was one of my favorite places to go in DHS, especially when it rained!

I saw that too. I have never been there, so I hope it won't close!

It is listed in the closures on wdwmagic

I was hoping it would stay as it is right on the edge - and I hadn't seen it listed in any of the closings ....

Writers stop is one of the few places left that has any nostalgia to me...they've all been renovated too much.

Just my opinion

Being a writer herself, my wife loved the Writers Stop. Although, in recent years, they took out a lot of stuff that had to do with writing.

Writers Stop is a good place to grab something while browsing around in that area. It always seemed busy too so this is a shame.

Yes, it is closing along with everything on that back street. I'm sad as well, it was a nice place to go and just relax. Hopefully, they'll open something like it and not think Starbucks is the answer.

I wonder how many people actually bought books.

Sad. Love the carrot cake cookie. Iconic. Would get it to go and sit in the little park in front of Muppets Vision. But guessing WDW knows this little gem of a snack is popular and will sell it somewhere else in HS?

Personally, somehow I pictured Nostalgia just hovering around you wherever you went.

No...that's Kevlar hovering around me

It has been available at Starring Roles next to the Brown Derby for quite a while.

That's good to know. The carrot cake cookie was the only reason we ever stopped into the Writer's Stop. And to be honest, I found the lack of seating irritating. Now we have a new spot to get our cookie!

I did...years ago when amazon wasn't so easy/mainstream?

Sure...I bought the first imagineering book, the architecture of reassurance, eisners "work in progress"

It's an emotional tie to an era long gone...but not that long ago.
