Don the Beachcomber Revival

When Disney's California Adventure opened in 2001, it included a small Don the Beachcomber at its Hollywood & Dine food court. It offered Chinese food, but did not serve alcoholic drinks. The restaurant closed within a few years. In 2005, full scale Don the Beachcomber restaurants opened at both the Royal Kona Resort in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii; and the Royal Lahaina Resort in Lahaina, Hawaii.
