We’ve seen so many dining options return to Disney World this year.
In-park dining like Columbia Harbour House and Diamond Horseshoe returned, as well as restaurants in the hotels, like Boma and Narcoossee’s. And now, there’s another popular spot coming back to a Disney hotel SOON!
Boatwright’s Dining Hall is reopening on December 14th at Disney’s Port Orleans Resort — Riverside! The resort recently reopened after being shut down since March of 2020, but the restaurant didn’t reopen with it. But soon, it will be back!
Boatwright’s serves up southern specialties like the all-you-care-to-enjoy Chef’s Platter featuring ribs, Nashville hot chicken, smoked sausage, and barbecued beef brisket with mashed potatoes, mac & cheese, street corn, and green beans.
There are also options like General Fulton’s Prime Rib or the Deep-South Shrimp and Grits, as well as the signature Boatwright’s Jambalaya and the plant-based Boatwright’s Harvest Jambalaya.
For dessert, you can dig into things like the Mississippi Mud Crème Brûlée, a chocolate brûlée with a chocolate shortbread cookie.
Reservations open for dinner at Boatwright’s on December 2nd. Stay tuned to DFB for more Disney World news and updates!
