Plaza Pavilion: Opened in 1973, this outlet served hamburgers, hot dogs, and soft drinks. The Plaza Pavilion was referred to mostly as a Tomorrowland restaurant but it was listed in 1974 and 1978 park guides as being part of Main Street. The 1981 park guide lists the Pavilion as part of Tomorrowland. There is a Plaza restaurant on Main Street that was separate from the Tomorrowland eatery.
