You can grab a bite to eat from one of the parks, hotels, and Disney Springs at just about any time of the day. Speaking of that, what do you do when you’re hungry and it’s late at night? Does Disney World have any 24-hour spots for you to grab some grub? Let’s talk about it!
As we were saying, let’s set the stage for you. So, the day is almost over, and you’re starting to feel hungry. Now you’re wondering what to do. Are there any 24-hour dining options for you at Disney World? Let’s find out!
Disney Springs
Well, the short answer is no. Disney World doesn’t have any restaurants be it in the parks, hotels, or Disney Springs that are open for service 24 hours a day. That being said, fear not! If late-night hunger pangs hit you, there are some options you can tap into to satisfy those cravings:
Late-Night Options at Disney World Hotels
If you’re staying in a Disney World hotel, you’ve got several convenient options to grab a bite late at night:
Riverside Mill Food Court
The Hotel Food Court: Many of the Disney resorts have food courts that stay open late (until 11 PM). These spots typically offer a variety of quick-service meals and snacks.
The Hotel Lounges: If you’re looking for a more relaxed atmosphere, check out your hotel’s lounges where you can enjoy light bites and beverages. While these aren’t open 24 hours, they usually stay open until 11 PM, which makes them a great option for a late-night snack or a nightcap.
The Grab-and-Go Counters: If you’d like something a bit quicker than a lounge, don’t sleep on the grab-and-go counters since they tend to stay open until 11 PM, and they’re stocked with snacks, beverages, and pre-packaged meals. These are perfect for grabbing something for a meal in your room.
Riviera Grab and Go
Late-Night Dining at Disney Springs
If you’re looking for a wider variety beyond what your hotel offers, Disney Springs has a TON of restaurants and shops that typically stay open until 11 pm.

While reservations might not be available super late, you can usually snag a table or grab something to go around 10:45 pm.

Gasparilla Grill in the Grand Floridian used to be open 24 hours. I guess it isn’t anymore since they didn’t metion it.
I remember when the Polynesian had a 24-hour option. It was in a separate building. But that was when WDW was a great place to stay and visit. Seems every decision they make today makes visiting less appealing.
Fond memories of Gasparilla Grill at the Floridian. Used to stay there a lot before becoming a DVC member. I guess it was the mid-1990s. Lots of European teens in the hot tub, swimming at midnight. My sister and I were the adults, but my daughter, niece, and nephew had a lot of fun. The kids loved the plush bathrobes the Floridian provided in the rooms and wore them at the pool. Gasparilla had great FREE condiments and WACK A MOLE. Lots of fun!
There actually is one place open 24 hours, and that’s the McDonald’s right outside the gates to the All Star Resorts. Easy stroll if you are staying at one of the All Stars or hit the drive thru (assuming you have a car) anytime. We usually stop for a late-night top up after MVMCP, and they even made fresh coffee for us! Note that the dining room is open 6:00 a.m. to midnight, so outside of those hours, you definitely need a vehicle to use the drive thru window.
