Just a quick note from the WDWFG team
Flame Tree BBQ at Animal Kingdom will be going down for a refurb starting Monday, January 5, 2015.
So far, Disney has said it will be reopening "in the spring." Rumors are just basic things like expanded seating, and possibly more overhead coverage in the area where people wait to get in line (but that's just rumor).
It is anticipated that Disney might place some of the popular items from Flame Tree at other food kiosks around the park. Keep an eye on the Disney Food Blog for more details.
