food IS a theme park
Disney World has been reopening quite a few restaurants lately.
Catalina Eddie’s
Counter service restaurants like Pizzafari and Columbia Harbour House are reopening soon, and today another Disney World quick-service restaurant opened!
Disney World’s phased reopening is still going strong, as restaurants and hotels around the parks are getting reopening dates!
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Today, we saw that a restaurant that’s been closed for a long time in Disney’s Hollywood Studios is showing times to be open soon!
Ever since Disney World reopened, we’ve had a bit of a problem with food in Magic Kingdom.
Cinderella Castle
At first, not very many restaurants were open, causing Mobile Order wait times to rise and windows to get backed up. Then, we had issues finding places to eat later in the evening, because several spots closed before the park did. But as more restaurants reopen, it helps to alleviate those problems, and now it looks like one of our favorites could come back soon!
Let’s be real here…one of the best parts of Disney World is the FOOD.
Time to Eat!
But, with so many restaurants to choose from, it can be hard to know whether you’re going to a spot that’s full of tasty treats or a restaurant that you should have totally skipped. For Magic Kingdom specifically, we’ve taken a look at some secret eats, and ranked every restaurant in the park by dessert. But recently we turned to you, our fantastic readers, to get your thoughts on how every quick-service restaurant in Magic Kingdom should be ranked. What spot came out on top and what’s one place you might want to skip? We’re breaking down the results right now!
While many Disney World staples are reopening and returning around the parks, there are still a few things that remain a mystery!
Cinderella Castle
We know that Trail’s End Restaurant at The Campsites at Disney’s Fort Wilderness is reopening, but we still haven’t heard anything about the beloved Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue. There’s no word on if or when FastPass+ is coming back, and we’re still unsure if parades are returning, as it’s looking like cavalcades are here to stay for a while. One of the big things Disney hasn’t brought back yet is the Disney Dining Plan, but recently they announced that it WILL be returning! So, we wanted to remind you of a change to the plan that happened RIGHT before the closures that you may have forgotten about!
Wow, what a weekend! And we’re not just saying that because it’s 4th of July weekend!
Golden Oak Outpost is open!
Although that’s why it’s been a busy weekend at Disney World — we’ve been tracking down all the special 4th of July treats, including a frosting-heavy cupcake, a Sunshine Mimosa, and a Patriotic Colava. But we’ve also been checking out a few snack spot reopenings, including Dino Diner.
Update: The Disney Dining Plan is now available to book for vacations beginning January 9th, 2024. A full list of participating restaurants, pricing, and more has been revealed. Click here for our full page with the latest Disney Dining Plan updates.
Have you heard?? Disney World is bringing back the dining plan!
Mickey bar!
In their announcement yesterday about early theme park entry for select guests, Disney stated that Disney Dining Packages will return to the parks! So what do we know so far about the future of dining plans in Disney World?
A LOT has changed in Disney World over the past few months.
Animal Kingdom
With many health measures in the process of being scaled back, we’re starting to see Disney World look a little bit more “normal.’ Social distancing has been reduced, guests aren’t required to wear masks everywhere, and we’re seeing a sign of normal in Disney World restaurants.
How many times have you placed a Mobile Order at Disney World and just sat there waiting while your stomach was yelling at you to JUST EAT SOMETHING?!
Disney’s Art of Animation Resort
Several aspects of Disney are returning to normal including health and safety measures, and the reopening of restaurants and experiences. Today, we noticed that a popular Disney World perk is opening back up!
You’ve got a LOT of options for breakfast in Disney World.
Contempo Cafe
And if you decide on some easy eats, you may find yourself at Contempo Cafe! This Quick Service spot at Disney’s Contemporary Resort serves up classic American foods like waffles, potatoes, and breakfast sandwiches…and now, there’s a new addition.
