Has anyone observed or heard of a tie-in between Princess Tiana &
POFQ? Looking at the reports of yesterday's "unveiling" (sorry, I
couldn't think of another word to use) on allears.net --- just
curious.

Nothing official, but heck if it doesn't make sense. A New Orleans gal
who dreams of running her own restaurant? That screams "synergy" so loud
that Eisner can hear it through his golden parachute.

It took them years to do a Pirates/CBR tie-in, and a National Treasure
2/Coronado Springs never happened (as far as I know.)

I think Disney'll want to see how the Frog Princess does before they
commit to anything more than temporary stuff...

Gee, wouldn't it be nice if they re-opened the sit-down dining area at POFQ,
maybe somehow themed to Another Disney Princess. I think we ate there once
during our early years at Disney (1995ish). Last time I saw the doors open,
it was being used by vacationing pop warner cheerleaders, doing their
homework. I imagine all the kitchen hardware is still in place - just need
to run out a fresh set of linens and dishes and they're back in business.

Oh, I do hope that they don't do something knee-jerk that just happens
to line up with something else. Stitch's Supersonic Celebration, anyone?
But if things work for the movie and the characters, it only makes sense.
