Min & Bill's Dockside Diner is a quick service restaurant in the [[Echo Lake]] section of [[Disney's Hollywood Studios]]
==History==
Min & Bill's Dockside Diner opened with the rest of the then Disney-MGM Studios on May 5, 1989 <ref> https://d23.com/a-to-z/min-and-bills-dockside-diner/ </ref>. The structure was built by Ray Walker, who also built the Sailing Ship Columbia for Disneyland <ref> http://www.wdwfacts.com/2015/05/13/echo-lake-past-present-and-future-by-jim-korkis/ </ref>. Located on the shore shores of Echo Lake, the quick service restaurant is based on the 1930 film "Min and Bill" starring Marie Dressler and Wallace Berry.
