Why Disney, WHY?! Disney World Refuses to Reopen This Beloved Hotel Restaurant

By 5 Comments

Most Disney World restaurants and attractions have reopened after the 2020 closures, but if you look closely, there are still some that have yet to come back, and we don’t know if they ever will.

Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort

Tables in Wonderland hasn’t made a reappearance, Restaurant Marrakesh in EPCOT has been closed for so long we don’t know if it’ll ever return, and of course, we can’t forget about the elegant tea service that used to be offered at the Garden View Tea Room at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort. But now that Disney has a new tea service, will we ever see it return?

When it comes to plant-based eats at Disney World, we’ve come a long way since the days of plain french fries.

UPDATE: Something’s DIFFERENT at 1900 Park Fare in Disney World Right Now! 👀

By 2 Comments

Okay, it is HARD keeping up with all the changes in Disney World, but, hey, we’re trying.

Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort

We’re ALWAYS spotting something new on construction projects in the Disney World parks, like Tiana’s Bayou Adventure and the new DVC villas at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort. We’re always LOOKING for something new at restaurants, especially new ones that should open soon, like The Cake Bake Shop by Gwendolyn Rogers and Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs. When we learned that 1900 Park Fare at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa would reopen soon, we’ve been looking for changes there, too — well, something HUGE has changed at the restaurant ahead of its reopening!

By 4 Comments

There might not be a better time to go to Disney World than in 2024.

Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort

First up, you’re going to have some new restaurants to check out, which, well, is ALWAYS a bonus for us. But you’ll also see a new attraction at Magic Kingdom later in the year, as well as get to see EPCOT AFTER the transformation has been completed. Plus the Disney Dining Plan is returning in 2024, you probably won’t need to make park pass reservations anymore, and park hopping is going back to normal. But when it comes to hotels, not ALL will be perfect in 2024, so we’re going to tell you where NOT to book.

This Secret Lounge Is Only Open SOMETIMES in Disney World, and We’ve Got the TEA

By 1 Comment

Although Disney World’s historic closure and reopening was over three years ago, there are still some things that haven’t yet returned.

Grand Floridian Resort

Now, don’t get us wrong — we were VERY happy to hear about the return of the Disney Dining Plan, as well as the end of park hopping restrictions in 2024. But we’ve been disappointed that some restaurants remain closed, including one we just found reopened today — well, sort of.
