We’re inching closer and closer to Disney World’s grand reopening this weekend!
Cinderella Castle
Along with things like Disney World transportation and many in-park dining locations resuming operations soon, we’ve now learned that a few more restaurants are reopening as well!
Disney World just recently reopened dining reservations to the general public, and now they’re also adding MORE restaurants to the list of spots that are open or will be opening soon! Here are the big ones!
Chef Mickey’s
This is one restaurant a LOT of readers were wondering about. The UBER popular all-day character dining spot at Disney’s Contemporary Resort WILL be reopening — but possibly without characters.
Chef Mickey’s
While Topolino’s Terrace – Flavors of the Riviera and Garden Grill Restaurant have both been confirmed to be offering “modified character experiences,” there is no mention of a similar experience at Chef Mickey’s. We don’t have an official reopening date yet, but we’re excited for the return of this spot!
California Grill
Sticking to the Contemporary Resort, we’ve got another fan favorite coming back. California Grill WILL be reopening for dinner! This Signature Dining location will be offering a limited menu, like most other locations we’ve seen. The biggest bummer we spotted? The wonderful Sonoma Goat Cheese Ravioli is MISSING from the menu.
Sonoma Goat Cheese Ravioli at California Grill
This could be a temporary change (after all, this appetizer has been on the menu since California Grill opened!), but for now, at least, we’ll all be missing that goat cheese ravioli AND the spectacular nightly fireworks view, for which California Grill is so well known. Fireworks are on hold for now around Disney World along with a number of other guest experiences. We also don’t have a reopening date for this spot yet, but you’ll be the first to know when we do!
We’ll keep you posted if any new restaurants are added to the list. In the meantime, check back for our continuing coverage of Disney World’s reopening!
