DS Update: The Last White Elephant

Let's cross this bridge one more time to LEAVE Pleasure Island for a change.

Back in 2016 we ran an article about the "white elephants" that dominated Downtown Disney West Side. Since then, Disney Quest was demolished, Wolfgang Puck Cafe was heavily renovated into Jaleo, Planet Hollywood was heavily renovated into Planet Hollywood Observatory and Bongo's Cuban Cafe....well, nothing. It's still there, apparently the only remaining restaurant of a chain that once had several Florida locations. It still seems to be a popular venue but its cuisine is being squeezed by Paradiso 37 to the east and the upcoming Jaleo to the west. We've heard no new rumors about the place so for now it remains Disney Springs last white elephant.
