Counter-Service:
Meeko's. This location was formerly known as Yumz when Videopolis opened in 1985 and then "Meeko's" during the Pocahontas Stage Show (95-97). It reopened in 1998 next to the new Fantasyland Theater. Currently, it sports no name whatsoever, but its registers and receipts still proclaim the name to be "Meeko's". Apparently it's real name is "Fantasyland Theatre Snack Stand" but no one calls it that.
Location
Situated inside the Fantasyland Theater, this place gets rather busy before, during, and after show times. Not a great place to stop by casually, as there will usually be crowds if the location is open. You might have shorter lines during the performances, however.
Menu Items
Pepperoni Pizza Pocket - $4.29
Cheese Pizza Pocket - $3.79
Hot Dog with Chips - $3.79
Nachos - $3.79
Mickey Mouse Pretzel with Cheese - $2.50
Itzakadoozie - $1.85
Ice Cream Bars - $1.85
Pink Lemonade - $1.95
Raspberry Iced Tea - $1.95
Fantasyland Fruit Cart. Another one of those healthy fruit carts, this one has something none of the others do: Beef Jerky. It also has nuts and trail mix packages.
Location The Fruit Cart is located directly next to the exit for the Sleeping Beauty walk-thru. In other words, it's on the backside of the Castle, in the courtyard.
Menu Items
Beef Jerky - $1.75
Individual Fruit Pieces - $1.25 - apples, orange, or grapes.
Character Cookies - $1.75
Pickle - $1.75
Veggie Pack - $2.00
Nuts/Trail Mix - $2.25
Chicken of the Sea Pirate Ship (Extinct). Later changed to Captain Hook's Galley in 1982, the Pirate Ship served tuna sandwiches and other snacks. It was dismantled in 1983, but pieces of the original still exist in the reconstructed Skull Rock/Pirate Ship in Disneyland Paris' Adventureland.
Location The Pirate Ship rested in a small lagoon next to Skull Rock, all of which was located near the present location of Dumbo's Flying Elephants.
Welch's Grape Fruit Stand (Extinct). Stewart Dimon reports that "the Grape Fruit Stand was located on the left side of Fantasyland, over where Snow White and Pinocchio are now. Originally, this was the Fantasyland Theatre which played a variety of shows, most recently (before the 1983 rehab of Fantasyland) it showed classic Disney short films. Outside of the theatre was the Welch's Grape juice bar. They literally sold two items......Welch's purple grape juice (in a clear plastic cup ---- like the Mint Julep at the Mint Julep bar), and Frozen Grape Juice Bars (like a popsicle, except it was real frozen juice). This closed when FL was rebuilt."
Bryan Walton also reports that "Welch's not only sold purple grape juice, but they sold red grape juice and white grape juice as well. The stand was located to the left of the Fantasyland Theatre entrance. Fantasy Gift Faire (known to us CM's as Fan I) was on the right of the entrance. We were shown plans for a beautifully themed Welch's that would be built in the New Fantasyland, with lots of carved wood and the ends of great wooden barrels with spigots, like you would find in a French wine cellar, but for reasons unknown to me (perhaps a pullout of the sponsor), the location was never built. Too bad."
Ken Martinez adds that "Welch's Grape Juice Bar was the only Fantasia themed
establishment in Fantasyand. It had a hand-painted mural of centaurs
and centaurettes and grape decor."
Character Foods (Extinct). Ken Martinez comments that there were two such fast-food locations in Fantasyland: "one was
located where Village Haus now stands, and the other where the Mad Hatter Shop now stands. The buildings
roofs were shaped like giant parasols, like King Arthur's Carousel. These food facilities served burgers, hot dogs, chili, fries and assorted beverages; The sandwiches usually
had character names like the "Robin Hood", etc."
