The popularity of the Lumiere's Kitchen began to dwindle however, and the dining establishment began to only operate seasonally <ref name= "screen"> http://www.fromscreentotheme.com/SundayBrunchVillageFryeShoppe.aspx </ref>.  Finally,  in 2006 Lumiere's Kitchen became one of the McDonald's dining locations located in the Magic Kingdom <ref name= "screen"/>. At this time, the restaurant was renamed the Village Fry Shoppe. Following the end of Disney's partnership with McDonald's in March 2009 the Village Fry Shoppe closed, eventually reopening as the Friar's Nook on March 26, 2009 <ref> http://www.wdwmagic.com/dining/the-friars-nook.htm </ref>. Since that time the restaurant has not seen any major changes.
