About four years later, the time has finally come for 1900 Park Fare to reopen!
1900 Park Fare
This character buffet located at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort closed in 2020 due to the pandemic and did not reopen with the rest of Disney World. Now, as of April 10th, it is finally open again. We’re celebrating the return of this charming restaurant and its famous strawberry soup. Come along with us as we find out which characters you get to dine with now that 1900 Park Fare is officially open!
Disney just dropped a TON of updates about all the changes coming to Downtown Disney at Disneyland Resort.
Downtown Disney
We FINALLY got an opening timeline for Din Tai Fung, a Disneyland restaurant we are SO excited about. But before we talk about what’s coming, we need to talk about what’s GONE. A restaurant recently closed in Downtown Disney, and Disney didn’t waste any time telling us what would go in that location. Two MORE new restaurants are coming soon. Say what?!
We love getting NEW Disney food news from coast to coast!
Downtown Disney
Over at Disneyland Resort, the Downtown Disney shopping and dining district is undergoing some major changes. Several new restaurants were announced a while back, but it doesn’t seem like Disney is done revealing changes just yet! And, some updates are on their way to a popular Downtown Disney sweet spot, too!
Disneyland’s Downtown Disney is in the process of a transformation of its own.
Downtown Disney entrance
Downtown Disney is Disneyland’s shopping and dining district like Disney Springs is in Disney World. However, it’s getting a bit of a makeover. Some locations, including restaurants, have been closing to make room for new ones to appear. A new market with several new dining locations will be opening, and a world-renowned restaurant from Taiwan will be available. Now, Disney has given us a clue about when this new restaurant will be opening!
We talk a LOT about Disney food here at DFB — we are Disney Food Blog, after all.

And, as much as we love eating our way around the Disney World parks, some of our favorite meals and restaurants can be found around the hotels instead! Whether you’re looking for something to eat for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, chances are you’ll be able to get it at a Disney World hotel. But, before you go make a reservation — we have a bit of a warning for you!
