food IS a theme park
Disney World’s most elegant dining experience is almost back!
Victoria & Alberts
Victoria & Albert’s, one of the most expensive restaurants at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort, is reopening on July 28th! Reservations will open soon, on June 20th, and we’re excited to see one of Disney World’s most unique experiences available again! We’ve also noticed some price increases in Disney World lately, and it looks like they’ve also hit this already pricey spot.
The list of restaurants that remain closed in Disney World is growing slim!
Victoria & Albert’s Monogrammed Plates
We have seen buffets return, the return of character dining, and fan-favorite restaurants reopen. Back in March, we got the news that Victoria & Albert’s would be reopening in Disney World this year and ever since then, we have been waiting with bated breath to get an official opening date. And today is that day! Disney just announced a reopening date for Victoria & Albert’s!
Almost 2 years after Disney World reopened in 2020 after the pandemic closures, there are STILL some restaurants that haven’t returned!
Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort
Victoria & Albert’s is not available (although it’s going to reopen this year sometime!), and we don’t have a reopening timeline at all for Akershus Royal Banquet Hall in EPCOT. But the good news is that one quick-service spot has finally opened its doors for Disney World guests! Let’s head inside to check out NEW menu items and see if this HIDDEN spot is worth a visit now that it has returned.
It’s that time! We’re headed to another Disney World restaurant reopening!
Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge
Most of Disney World’s restaurants have reopened by now, but there are still a few that remain closed. Today, we’re headed to Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge to check out the reopening of Jiko! We’ve already experienced other popular restaurants at this resort including Boma and Sanaa, but now it’s Jiko’s turn for the spotlight!
🚨 THIS IS A RED ALERT FOR ALL BUFFET FANS! 🚨
Cape May Cafe
Cape May Cafe at Disney’s Beach Club Resort reopened last year, but it came back with some changes! Instead of offering a buffet for breakfast and dinner, it switched to a family-style menu. But that is OVER. Earlier today the buffet service here returned for breakfast, and now it’s back for dinner too. We know what you’re wondering — what about the crab legs?! Well, today we stopped by to see what it’s like! Let’s dive in!
We’ve seen a lot of changes in the Disney World restaurants since the parks and resorts first reopened in the summer of 2020.
Cape May Cafe
Restaurants have slowly reopened, character meals have come back in a modified way, and in the past few months, we’ve seen buffets return to Disney World. Today, buffet dining came back to another restaurant!
Is Disney World back to “normal” yet? Not quite. But little by little, things are changing.
Saratoga Springs
For example, Disney World has had a lot of things reopen over the last year. Restaurants like The Diamond Horseshoe, Casey’s Corner, and Boma have reopened. Select experiences have also returned, like (modified) character meet and greets. Even Typhoon Lagoon Water Park is back! We previously shared some news about several restaurants that would be reopening soon in Disney World, and now, one of those spots is finally back in business, and we bet it’s a spot you might not have ever been to!
We’re heading into the month of February in Disney World, and there’s a LOT of excitement going on!
Animal Kingdom
We’ve got big events, returning favorites, new food to try, and so much more. So if you’re traveling to see the mouse in February, what do you need to know? Well today, we’re breaking down the top 10 things!
We have seen almost every Disney World restaurant reopen since the 2020 closures — with a few exceptions!
Flying Fish at Disney’s Boardwalk
Lucky for us, though, Disney just announced that they are reopening three of their restaurants! And this morning, reservations became available for those spots.
Although most things in Disney World have returned or reopened, there are still a few spots that remain closed.
Animal Kingdom Lodge
Soon, though, we’ll see popular entertainment return to the parks (we’re looking at you Fantamic! and Festival of Fantasy Parade!), and there are a few restaurants we get to visit for their reopenings in the coming weeks! Disney recently announced the reopening dates for several restaurants including the fan-favorite Jiko at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge.
