Downtown Disney Restaurants Pollo Campero and Fresh A-Peel Construction Photos

25 October 2010 by Suzannah Otis 4 Comments

Over the weekend we met up with friends who have just relocated to central Florida and walked around Downtown Disney. I hadn’t seen the construction progress on Pollo Campero – the new Latin chicken restaurant opening soon – since McDonald’s closed down, so I thought I’d share what looks like a really cool design. Love the colors and the stonework!

EDIT: Thanks to Keith from MouseMisers for clearing up the “Fresh A-Peel” signs that I thought were part of Pollo Campero. We now know that Fresh A-Peel is a new fresh concept named (featuring fresh salads, sandwiches, fruits and healthy snacks) plus vegetarian, gluten-free, sugar-free, low-sodium or organic offerings.

I love this tower - reminds me of the old Lake Buena Vista Marketplace tower in the 80s...

The construction fence promises something with fresh a-peel is on its way!

Love the copper flashing details too!

Coincidentally, as I was walking through Downtown Disney after taking pictures, I got a notice on my cell phone that the Pollo Campero twitter account added me! From the looks of their account, they do giveaways and specials, so be sure to follow them on twitter and “like” their facebook page as well.

I can’t wait to welcome them to the Disney family and experience the menu first-hand. The Downtown Disney location is set to open in November, which is right around the corner now.

About Suzannah Otis

A child of the 80's, Zanna climbed trees and roller-skated till the streetlights came on. She sipped her her first iced coffee at age 10 and never looked back. Growing up outside of Boston, all of these things shaped her life, as did the original EPCOT Center, which brought her where she is today.

Zanna is the mother of 2 adult humans, a 13-year old (also human), and 6 (yes, 6) cats. She is also the wife to one husband, who lovingly puts up with all of the above. Zanna tries to find that one little spark in everything, and thanks you very much for taking the time to read this.

    Looks like Fresh A Peel will be a separate restaurant, sharing space:

    Fresh A-Peel will feature fresh salads, sandwiches, fruits and healthy snacks, plus vegetarian, gluten-free, sugar-free, low-sodium or organic offerings.

    Nice!

    Fresh a peel….just got done spending $20 on what looked like awesome food. Yea…..not so much….the food was pretty nasty and we actually threw it away. If you want a great salad or wrap for less money, head over to Earl of Sandwich and get a great meal.
