A World of Excitement Approaches

It's looming on the horizon -- the Jolly Roger fluttering from its mast. It's the adventure of the summer. Although it won't make landfall until May 25, anticipation is already growing for "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End," the final film in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" trilogy.

ASK DAVE
YOUR QUESTION
Around 1965, we celebrated my birthday at Disneyland. I remember the dining room or restaurant was on the second floor of a building that looked up Main Street toward Sleeping Beauty Castle. Can you tell me if my memory is correct?

DAVE'S ANSWER
We have never had a second floor restaurant on Main Street, U.S.A., at Disneyland. None of the buildings, other than those in Town Square, are large enough to have a usable second floor.
