These Disney World Restaurants Could Reopen After All

    Disney has pushed an update to their website recently that has marked certain restaurants and experiences as “Temporarily Unavailable”, aka closed.

    New “Temporarily Unavailable” tag

    Earlier this week, we “painstakingly” put together a list of restaurants that would not be reopening at Walt Disney World. This list was complied by simply matching a list of previously announced reopenings versus a list of all restaurants. Many of you liked that list, so you can view hit here (complete with asterisks based on the info below).

    Today, we’ve once again “painstakingly” cross-referenced as much data as is publicly available to try and paint an updated picture of what the restaurant lineup will look like when the theme parks reopen. At this point, we must stress that Disney has not updated their “Know Before You Go” dining page to reflect the changes below. So while we think that there are certainly a few changes going on behind the scenes as more preparations to reopen the parks continue, there is a discrepancy between what the “Know Before You Go” page says and what the Disney World dining list says.

    At this point we don’t know which piece of information on Disney’s own website to trust, but here are the changes that we noticed. We’re going to assume the dining page is correct because it’s the one that has been updated most recently, and that the “Know Before You Go” page is outdated. The following is a list of restaurants that are moving from closed to open per the lack of a “Temporarily Unavailable” tag on the Disney Dining page.

    Magic Kingdom – Now Reopening

    • The Diamond Horseshoe

    Disney’s Animal Kingdom – Now Reopening

    • Dino Diner
    • The Smiling Crocodile
    • Terra Treats

    EPCOT – Now Reopening

    • Block & Hans
    • Cool Wash
    • Joy of Tea
    • Kringla Bakeri Og Kafe
    • Les Vins des Chefs de France
    • Tutto Italia Restorante

    Disney’s Hollywood Studios

    • No changes

    We hope that Disney updates their website soon, one way or another to provide more clarification on the restaurants listed above.

    1. Our original ADR had dinner at Les Chefs de France so it would be nice if we could book that restaurant again for our rescheduled trip.
