When it comes to dining in Disney World, it’s no secret that some of the best spots are located at the hotels!
Mickey waffle with chicken? Yes, please!
From amazing pool bars to fine dining table-service restaurants, the Disney World hotels offer some delicious dining options that are even worth leaving the parks for. Now, one of our favorite table-service spots might finally reopen after a months-long closure. Here’s everything we know!
After months of waiting, it seems like we might be able to dine at the Grand Floridian Cafe again! The popular restaurant has been closed since July, and Disney previously confirmed that it would be closed until mid-October. The announcement first came in March 2026, but Disney has kept quiet about a reopening date.
Grand Floridian Cafe
The popular brunch offering moved over to Citricos so guests of the hotel didn’t have to go without for too long. Now, after months of waiting, you can make dinner reservations for the Grand Floridian Cafe starting on November 2nd!
Lobster Thermidor Burger from Grand Floridian Cafe
We can’t wait to dine on some of our favorite items again at this affordable spot before strolling around the Grand Floridian Resort. In case you missed it, the resort itself is undergoing quite a few changes as well. There are several projects taking place at the hotel, mainly the exterior parts of the hotel, until early 2027.
Even the bathrooms are involved!
The resort recently redid the lobby area and even added a brand-new bar called The Perch. If you’re stopping by the resort or you’re staying there on vacation, be aware that construction is taking place throughout the day, which you may be able to see or hear. We can’t wait to dine on our favorite Eggs Benedict or the Lobster Thermidor Burger once the restaurant fully reopens in November. As always, be sure to keep following DFB for more Disney news, updates, and more!
