==History==
The genesis of the restaurant that would eventually be known as Tony's Town Square began during the planing of the [[Magic Kingdom]]. 1970 blueprints for the location indicate that it was originally earmarked for the "Coffee Mill Restaurant" <ref name= "widen"> http://www.omniluxe.net/wyw/hsphouse.htm </ref>. These plans were eventually changed however, and when the park opened on October 1, 1971 the restaurant was known as the Town Square Cafe sponsored by Oscar-Mayer<ref name= "widen"/> . The Town Square Restaurant Cafe featured turn of the century decor and an open-air dining area.
The first major change to the Town Square Cafe came in 1978 when the restaurant was rehabbed and the menu was expanded to include ribs<ref name= "widen"/> . Following the end of Oscar Mayer's sponsorship in 1981, the hot dog company chose not to renew<ref name= "widen"/> . Hormel then assumed sponsorship of the restaurant until 1989<ref name= "widen"/> .
