On this day in 1962, Disneyland’s Chicken Plantation Restaurant closed to make way for New Orleans Square. A popular dining location since opening day, the Chicken Plantation served fried chicken dinners that some said were the best meal in the park! It was located on the waterfront of the Rivers of America, between what is now Pirates of the Caribbean and Cafe Orleans.
