Disney World Pulls Two Resort Restaurants From Summer Lineup for Multi-Month Refurbishments
The timing compresses table-service capacity at Deluxe hotels during a surge of new park offerings.
Overview
- The signature Yachtsman Steakhouse, which closed Monday, is expected to remain shut through summer with reopening targeted for August.
- Grand Floridian Cafe will start refurbishment in mid-July and is slated to stay closed until October.
- The overlap with a busy rollout of new attractions this summer is likely to push more diners into remaining restaurants.
- Guests near Crescent Lake may shift to Ale & Compass, Flying Fish or Beaches & Cream, while Grand Floridian visitors look to Citricos, Narcoossee’s or 1900 Park Fare.
- Disney highlights many open options across the parks and Disney Springs, yet tighter supply means travelers should secure reservations earlier than usual.
