We hear that The Wave at Disney’s Contemporary Resort will be changing its name to “The Wave … of American Flavors.” No ETA for the change.

I’m not sure whether “The Wave of American Flavors” makes me think more of a Skittles ad, or of something I’d likely do after one of your “sip snack sick” excursions. Either way, not an image in keeping with the high-class eatery I understand The Wave to be.
I had dinner there at the bar just this past Tuesday—the flat iron steak was really quite good, and at $21 a relative bargain for Disney.
Both bartenders said that this has been their “official” name all along. In fact, it was even more cumbersome: “The Wave of American Flavors with an Asian Influence” or some similar mouthful. Not known for his subtlety, that Mouse.
The Wave…of overthinking.
American Flavors….except the wines.
Almost all of our finer foods came from somewhere else. (except bison…and Spam)(ew) So I’m not sure exactly what a “wave of American flavors” would even begin to taste like. Perhaps this change can be attributed to the same person who decided the TTA needed a reboot? 🙁
It would be a mistake to actually change the name as described. A good name is just that – a name – and doesn’t need to explain itself. I don’t even like it as a “subtitle” — it doesn’t really add anything and “wave of flavors” is a strained metaphor.
The Wave … of American Flavors … That You’ll Like … For Lunch and Dinner
The name of the restaurant is staying the same. This is just a “subtitle” of sorts which will be printed on the menus and signage.
That makes more sense. The Wave of American Flavors just doesn’t sound right off the tongue. Could you imagine saying, tonight I made a reservation for the Wave of American Flavors. Nope, the Wave sounds much better.
Thanks Disney cm! The note I got about the name change came from Media Relations. I’ll go back to see whether they indicated this as a subtitle. We’ll want to have the official name in the book.
