UPDATED: August 8, 2024

Slowly but surely, Disney World has been resuming normal operations for its parks and resorts after the pandemic-related closures.

Magic Kingdom Train Station

Even though it has been quite some time since the parks reopened, not everything has returned back to normal. Despite reopening most merchandise locations, attractions, and all of the resorts, there are still quite a few things that still remain closed. And today, we’re looking at the Disney World restaurants you didn’t realize were STILL closed!

When it comes to dining in Disney World, there are so many incredible options — although not all of them are currently open! Several Disney World eateries are still closed in the parks and beyond, so let’s check them out.

Magic Kingdom

Tomorrowland Terrace is typically only open seasonally in Magic Kingdom, and we only saw it reopen for a brief period of time after the parks reopened. However, the quick service location is currently serving as the location for Fireworks Dessert Viewing Parties in Magic Kingdom.

Disney hasn’t shared whether or not they plan on opening Tomorrowland Terrace back up for normal or seasonal dining in the future, but we’ll keep an eye out for updates.

EPCOT

In the Morocco Pavilion, two eateries have remained closed. Restaurant Marrakesh, the table service restaurant, failed to reopen with the rest of Disney World.

We’ve recently seen Tangierine Cafe being used as a food booth for EPCOT festivals as opposed to its typical Counter Service operation. Hopefully, we will be able to dine at both locations again soon.

Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa

Did you know there’s a place on Disney World property where you can have Afternoon Tea? Well, right now there isn’t because Afternoon Tea at the Garden View Room hasn’t returned just yet. It used to be offered from 12PM to 4PM daily.

Guests could experience international teas and British Cuisine while gazing out at gorgeous gardens. We’ll let you know if we hear of any updates!

Disney’s BoardWalk Inn Resort

ESPN Club* used to be a truly incredible sports fan experience complete with game-day eats, televisions, and even video games at your table. When Disney World began its phased reopening, no news was shared on whether this spot would open back up.

*UPDATE: ESPN Club is now closed on Disney’s BoardWalk. The location will presumably become home to The Cake Bake Shop by Gwendolyn Rogers, which is slated to open in early 2024. 

If you’re looking for a funnel cake at Disney’s BoardWalk — you’re out of luck. The Funnel Cake Cart has been closed since the parks were shut down, and we haven’t heard a peep about it since.

The BoardWalk is set to undergo quite the transformation sometime in Disney’s future, so maybe that will include an update on the Funnel Cake Cart.

Despite these locations still being closed, there are so many other great options for dining in Disney World! Some of our favorites are Topolino’s Terrace at Disney’s Riviera Resort and Skipper Canteen in Magic Kingdom — but there are so many more!
