food IS a theme park
Halloween might not even be behind us yet, but we’re already getting pretty excited about holiday happenings at Disney World, even if they’ll be a little different this year.
Jock Lindsey’s Holiday Bar
But at least one thing will be the same this year: Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar is getting its annual holiday makeover.
Disney World is seeing a lot of changes in the parks before reopening with the ever-changing protocols and guidelines taking place in Florida.
Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar
Different locations in Disney Springs have recently been affected by Florida’s alcohol ban, where restaurants who make 50% of their profits from the sale of alcohol were forced to close. However, the Florida order has been updated with a new amendment that changes the details of the ban. Instead, restaurants who sell both food and alcohol are able to operate with a limited capacity of 50% and distancing measures.
Disney World restaurants have started to re-open at the Disney Resorts and Disney Springs. When the parks open up again next week, multiple quick-service and table-service locations will be available for guests to visit as well.
Bitter Barkeep
At this time, Advance Dining Reservations in the parks are only available to guests who have had select reservations canceled due to the closures. However, since Florida has been changing its health and safety guidelines to stay up-to-date with the unfolding situation, Disney restaurants have also had to make a few changes to follow these orders.
