EXCITING EPCOT NEWS: A Popular Restaurant Will FINALLY Be Open Seven Days A Week Again

By Robin Burks Leave a Comment

Four years ago, Disney World closed and then later reopened due to the global pandemic. After four years, some things still have not returned to normal in Disney World.

For example, much of Disney World’s streetmosphere entertainment, like the Citizens of Main Street, have never returned. Some restaurant offerings (like afternoon tea at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort) never returned. Although a lot of things are now back to normal, even some restaurant hours haven’t been the same since 2020. One EPCOT restaurant, though, has finally returned to being open seven days a week, for the first time since 2020.

Takumi-Tei, in the Japan Pavilion in EPCOT’s World Showcase, closed with Disney World in 2020 and didn’t reopen until 2022. After its reopening, though, its hours remained limited to Thursday through Mondays, meaning it was closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

However, a few weeks ago, Takumi-Tei expanded its hours and added Wednesdays to when it would be open. We recently noticed that the restaurant will add Tuesdays back to its schedule as of November 5th, meaning the restaurant will be open seven days a week for the first time since its reopening. You’ll be able to book the restaurant for dinner every day from 4:30PM to 7:30PM.

We recently visited Takumi-Tei, and although the restaurant is pricey, we’d revisit it again. The dining experience is second to none, and the food is well-presented and tasty. The restaurant features a prix-fixe menu consisting of two “omikase” (aka where the chef curates your meal) multi-course meal options: an omnivorous “Kiku” meal for $250 per person and a plant-based “Hasu” meal for $250 per person. You can also choose wine pairings to go with your meal. You can read our most recent review here.
