After staying at Disney’s Yacht Club Resort, we’ll admit that we were SPOILED when it came to options for dining. Not only do you have all the restaurants and lounges available at the resort itself, but you also have the WHOLE of restaurants nearby at other EPCOT-area resorts within walking distance.
The Crew’s Cup Lounge
However, one of our favorite spots to grab a quick bite to eat without needing a reservation is The Crew’s Cup Lounge, which you’ll find right next to Yachstman Steakhouse. Now, this lounge has been closed since February for a refresh and was supposed to be closed until June 1st. However, the lounge has officially reopened early!
So what tipped us off about The Crew’s Cup Lounge reopening is that we noticed the restaurant had hours listed on the Disney World website from 4 PM to 11 PM. So we decided to drop by the lounge and see if it was open for ourselves. And it was!
It’s open!
We’ve also got some great news. Although the lounge got a refresh, the menu hasn’t changed much. You can still get that delicious Yachtsman Signature Bread Service here, as well as Prime Rib Sliders (Oh, YEAH), a few salads, Lobster Bisque, and more.
Menu
Of course, this IS a lounge, too, so you’ll also be able to order a few non-alcoholic specialty drinks, as well as special cocktails, beer, cider, and wine.

So here’s the thing, although Disney closed the lounge for a “refresh,” we really didn’t notice that much had changed. The exterior and interior look about the same as before the lounge closed.
It looks the same
We’ve always loved The Crew’s Cup Lounge because it’s a great place to grab some food if you don’t want to make a reservation at Yachtsman Steakhouse.
We’ll be back soon with a full review of The Crew’s Cup Lounge, so stay tuned to DFB for more.

We are so glad to see and hear that the Crew’s Cup is basically the same, including the menu. It is a favorite spot of ours, and we were afraid Disney might change things for the sake of change. This gives us hope that the Yachtsman will stay relatively unchanged too.
