food IS a theme park
A popular Disney World restaurant recently reopened with some big changes!
Trail’s End
Trail’s End Restaurant was closed at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground for a little while to get a big refurbishment. When it reopened at the end of July, it was remade into a quick service spot with market-style service. I stopped by during the soft opening to check it out, and now I’m sharing my FULL review with you. Is Trail’s End worth your time? Let’s find out!
The ONLY thing we’ve been thinking about this week is food. Okay, well, that’s every week, but even MORE so this week because the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival has officially kicked off.

So while we were eating our way around the world, eating ALL the cheese, and buying new festival merchandise, we were also keeping an eye on Disney World restaurant menus for changes. So let’s look at how those restaurants have changed recently.
It is a big week for restaurant and snack news in Disney World.
Trail’s End
We’ve been gearing up for one of the biggest days of the year in Disney World — EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival — which begins on July 27th, 2023. But, did you know that a popular restaurant that had closed for a refurbishment and redesign was scheduled to reopen this week as well? Trail’s End Restaurant at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground was set to open on July 27th as a new quick-service concept, but it has opened its doors early for a soft opening and we went to check it out. Come see how it went!
Quite a few things are getting UPDATES in Disney World right now!
Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground
Disney’s BoardWalk Inn is getting refurbished from top to bottom, Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort is getting a new DVC tower, and Splash Mountain was closed at the beginning of this year to become Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in Magic Kingdom. But soon, one refurbished restaurant will be reopening!
Trail’s End has been undergoing a pretty lengthy refurbishment as of late.

In the past, this spot has been a table service restaurant at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campgrounds. However, it had previously been announced that a refurbishment meant this spot would be getting some pretty big changes soon. Now we’ve got some more details on what these changes are!
Settle in y’all! It’s time for a LOT of UPDATES!!

It feels like every time we blink, there’s another new restaurant or ride popping up at the parks. And maybe you’re in the planning mood, so we wanted to let you know about the hotel changes that are happening soon! (And some that aren’t happening soon…blergh!)
If you are expecting the dining scene at Disney World to be the same as it was during your last trip, you’ll be in for some big surprises.

Not only have tons of Disney World restaurants been hit with price increases and menu changes, but special limited-time dining events have been announced, new restaurants may have opened since your last trip, and you might not realize that some spots are still CLOSED. So today we’re going through some restaurant news and updates to make sure you aren’t caught by surprise during your next vacation.
There is ALWAYS something new going on at Disney World.

New rides open, old rides close and get re-themed, new restaurants open, and there is construction EVERYWHERE (EPCOT is still in an ONGOING state of construction). This progress is also happening at Disney World hotels, including Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground, where a restaurant is getting a HUGE overhaul.
Things are CHANGING at many Disney World restaurants.

But over at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campgrounds, a major change had been announced for Trail’s End Restaurant, and now it seems like things are really moving along.
