Christmas came early for all you Indiana Jones fans out there-- which is really everyone. Christmas came early for everyone.
Disney parks announced that they will be opening up an Indiana Jones themed restaurant in Orlando. The eatery will be located in Disney Springs -- formerly known as Downtown Disney -- and is expected to open in the fall.
Disney plans on naming the restaurant Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar, an homage to Jock Lindsey, Indie's freelance pilot with a pet snake named Reggie. As the name implies, the restaurant will be a sort of converted plane hangar that is retrofitted to serve Indiana Jones-inspired food and hock Lucasfilms merch.
Since its acquisition of Lucasfilms, Disney has flinging around its ability to turn George Lucas' stuff into money like it was Indie's whip in Raiders of the Lost Ark. The Indiana Jones themed restaurant will go hand-in-hand with the several Star Wars movies planned for release in Disney's goal of making sure we all yell "WE GET IT! YOU OWN LUCASFILMS!" at some point in the near future.
Though the full menu hasn't been announced, the press statement did say they would be serving "Rolling Boulder Meatballs," so expect a lot of Indiana Jones food puns. "The Temple of Spoon" ice cream bar? "Snakes! I Hate Shakes!" soda list? "Hold on to Your Potatoes" baked potatoes? There is a ton of material to work with, just hopefully monkey brains don't make its way onto the menu.
