We’re always excited about NEW restaurants (and new food in general) coming to Disney World!

But we are ESPECIALLY excited when we get the chance to try the new eats without needing to make a Park Pass Reservation to do so!
There are some seriously fancy dining destinations in Disney World.
EPCOT
From Victoria & Albert’s at the Grand Floridian to Monsieur Paul in EPCOT — you can experience fine dining at the Most Magical Place on Earth. One fancy Disney World restaurant reopened recently but was only accepting walk-ins — until now! Takumi-Tei is taking reservations and we’ve got all the details.
The Disney Dining Plan isn’t back yet (Disney said it would return, but they haven’t provided any details yet), but Disney is offering a different promotion that might help you save on dining!
Dining in Disney World (Liberty Tree Tavern)
The Dining Promo Card is a promotion that we’ve seen before in various forms, and it’s returning in a new way in 2023. It’s essentially a gift card that you can only use at select Disney World restaurants. Only certain guests can receive a Dining Promo Card — we’ll go into more details about who gets the cards in this post. If you do receive a card, though, how do you decide where to spend it? We’re here to help you find the BEST value for your Disney Dining Promo Card. [Read more…]

There are several relatively new restaurants in Disney World that you might want to check out, or you could go with an old favorite. But if you’re heading to one classic Disney spot in particular, you’ll want to know about a big schedule change!
