We’ve got news for character dining fans!

Mickey and Pluto at Garden Grill Restaurant

Garden Grill Restaurant in EPCOT’s The Land Pavilion is one of our favorite character meals in Disney World, but it may not be an option for part of next month. Could Garden Grill be closing? Here’s what we know! 

Recently, we’ve noticed that this restaurant, which typically slowly rotates while folks dine, hasn’t always been rotating during the day. Still, we’re not sure why!

Then, today a reader pointed out that Garden Grill doesn’t have any hours listed beginning February 21st and running through the end of the calendar on March 17th.

We reached out to a Cast Member to see if the restaurant will be closing for refurbishment. So far, a refurbishment has not been announced, but the Cast Member did tell us that it’s possible a closure could be in reaction to the broken rotation.

We also stopped by the restaurant to ask the workers if they knew anything. The Garden Grill Cast Members told us they had yet to hear about the restaurant closing either.

Interesting! We’ll be keeping a close eye on Garden Grill for any potential announcement of closure or for hours to show up on those dates. Stay tuned to DFB for the latest updates.
