Disney Springs Converts Former Food‑Truck Courtyard Into Shaded Seating

An overnight furniture installation expands outdoor seating for nearby quick‑service shops without any public timeline from Walt Disney World Resort.

Overview

  • Photos and on‑site reports show metal tables, chairs, pale green patio umbrellas, and extra trash cans filling the West Side plaza that once hosted food trucks.
  • The three long‑running trucks had been removed earlier in June, with sources reporting they were gone by June 8 and the cleared courtyard sitting empty until this mid‑June change.
  • The new seating keeps the central walkway and existing planters intact while creating shaded places for guests to eat outdoors during Florida heat.
  • Operators and reporters say Walt Disney World Resort made no announcement about the change, leaving it unclear whether the installation is a temporary solution or the start of a longer redesign.
  • The swap reduces on‑site walk‑up dining variety by removing lower‑cost food trucks while expanding capacity for nearby quick‑service outlets and fitting a pattern of incremental retail and dining adjustments across Disney Springs.
