With so many incredible dining locations throughout the property, it can be hard to choose exactly where you want to eat.

When it comes to dining around Disney World, there’s something for just about everyone. Craving Mexican cuisine? There’s a pavilion in EPCOT for that. Want to dine with characters? You can do that too. But there are some NEW dining experiences coming to Disney World that we’re pretty excited about, so let’s dig in!
DISNEY’S HOLLYWOOD STUDIOS

Disney’s Hollywood Studios is preparing to open a BRAND NEW THEMED LAND featuring those lovable monsters from Monsters. Inc.! It will soon be time for humans to visit Monstropolis. Monstropolis is aiming to be the next human vacation destination! And Disney has stated, “Of course, it wouldn’t be Monstropolis without a few iconic stops along the way. Places like Harryhausen’s — yes, THAT legendary restaurant monsters line up for… help bring the city to life, adding even more personality, energy, and can’t-miss moments around every corner.”
Yes, indeed… at long last, humans will be able to dine at the iconic sushi restaurant pulled straight from Monsters, Inc.!The land will open in phases starting in 2027, and the opening phase will indeed include Harryhausen’s!

Hungry humans and monsters alike will also be able to grab some bites at Archie’s Scare Pig Pizza. This Quick Service restaurant will join Harryhausen’s as another dining option in Monstropolis.
