We’ve seen signs that several bars in Disney World could be close to reopening!

Even though all of the Disney World parks and select Resort hotels have now reopened, there are still some restaurants and bars across property that remain temporarily closed. And while several locations including Cinderella’s Royal Table and Hollywood & Vine have announced reopening dates for later this month, we also noticed some signs of reopening at a few of Disney World’s bars!
Let’s start with Courtyard Pool Bar at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa! While the Disney Vacation Club Villas have been available for guest stays since June 22nd, the non-DVC portion of the Resort is scheduled to reopen on Monday, September 21st.

But that’s not what tipped us off to the potential reopening of Courtyard Pool Bar! The “Temporarily Unavailable” note has now been removed for this location on the list of Disney World dining locations. So, while this doesn’t mean the location is opening immediately and there are still no official hours listed for Courtyard Pool Bar, we’ll be keeping a close eye on this spot in the coming days!
Courtyard Pool Bar is no longer listed as “Temporarily Unavailable”
And we’re SUPER excited about this next location! Located in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, Dawa Bar has been a long-time favorite spot for us to relax and enjoy the atmosphere — and a drink, of course!

And as with Courtyard Pool Bar, the “Temporarily Unavailable” note has also been removed from Dawa Bar on the list of Disney World dining locations.
Dawa Bar is no longer listed as “Temporarily Unavailable”
Again, there are no official hours listed for Dawa Bar yet, so this doesn’t mean the location is reopening immediately. BUT, on a recent trip to Animal Kingdom, we spoke with a Cast Member who told us that Dawa Bar is preparing to reopen! Of course, we’ll be checking in at Dawa Bar regularly in the coming days in the hopes of snagging ourselves an African Margarita!

Cant wait to have a bloody mary made by Bob from Boston at the Dawa bar! Visited Animal Kingdom earlier this month and was so sad to see our favorite pit stop still closed! I mean….it is an OUTSIDE bar! What could be safer than that! Now they just have to restart Festival of the Lion King and all will be right with my world!
