This sit-down restaurant can be found at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa and will open its doors once again on April 10th, 2024. While this sounds like welcome news, 1900 Park Fare will be getting some updates and not everyone is thrilled about them. We’re breaking down why Disney fans are so mad about the changes at 1900 Park Fare in Disney World.
Some Disney World hotel restaurants are pretty spectacular, and others…well, they leave a bit to be desired.
Primo Piatto at Disney’s Riviera Resort
If you’re staying at one of Disney’s Value Resorts, your dining options will be limited to quick service cafeteria-style food. But if you shell out the extra dough to stay at a Deluxe Resort, we’ve often found that the quick service food quality improves. Riviera Resort’s quick service restaurant was one of our favorites when the hotel first opened in 2019, but how does it stack up now?
Disney’s BoardWalk is getting some BIG changes these days!
Disney’s BoardWalk Inn
The rooms are getting complete makeovers, but there are also some new dining locations under construction with The Cake Bake Shop and Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs coming soon. However, even though several new things are coming soon…this week we had to say goodbye to one restaurant!
Do you know which Disney World restaurant has TWO locations?
Animal Kingdom
Yep, that’s right — Rainforest Cafe! The chain restaurant has spots in both Disney Springs and at Animal Kingdom Theme Park. But despite having multiple locations in Disney World and around the globe, Rainforest Cafe doesn’t exactly have the best reputation when it comes to the eats. Is it really as bad as people make it seem? I stopped by recently to try out some menu items and bring you a full review!
It doesn’t seem that long ago that Disney World permanently closed the Spirit of Aloha show and tore the building down to make way for new Disney Vacation Club villas at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort.

However, we’ve been following the construction of those villas, and have watched the construction site go from nothing but flat land to actual buildings. Well, we recently visited the construction site again — and we have a MASSIVE update to share with you.
A cookie bar, a stellar view, and no park ticket required?! Disney World’s newest restaurant sounds like a dream come true!
Summer House on the Lake cookies
We’ve been not-so-patiently waiting for Summer House on the Lake to open in Disney Springs ever since it was first announced, and with each update and sneak peek, we got more and more excited. But now, the restaurant is FINALLY open, and I stopped by on the first day to check it out for lunch! Should you visit Summer House on the Lake during your next vacation? I’m here to give you a full review.
There’s a NEW restaurant in Disney World!
EET by Maneet Chauhan
There have been quite a few dining additions to Disney World in the past few years, and we’ve still got more to come. But the most recent addition is EET by Maneet Chauhan! This new Indian quick service spot is located in Disney Springs, and we stopped by on opening day to check it out. That’s right folks, it’s time for a FULL REVIEW!
It’s a GREAT week to be a fan of Disney food!
We can’t wait!
Why, you ask? Well, not only did we try a ton of new holiday treats, but a new restaurant, EET by Maneet Chauhan, has also officially opened in Disney Springs! And, the good news just keeps on coming because we’ve got a FULL LOOK at the menu for another restaurant opening in Disney World soon — let’s check it out!
There are some exciting new restaurants on the horizon for Disney World.
Disney Springs
Soon, Disney’s BoardWalk will be getting two new spots — The Cake Bake Shop and Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs. Over at Disney Springs, another restaurant is coming together — Summer House on the Lake. This new location will serve up a West Coast-inspired menu, offer a Cali-Mex Brunch, and feature a dessert bar called The Cookie Jar. It’s all set to open sometime this year, and today we noticed a big clue that it will be opening soon!
Did somebody say brunch?!
Disney Springs
At DFB, we love all things food. When it comes to brunch, it holds a special place in our hearts. Did you know there’s a NEW brunch option coming to Disney Springs? Lots of delicious-sounding brunch eats will be at Summer House on the Lake, and we need to fill you in. [Read more…]
