New Disney restaurant alert!
A new restaurant is coming to Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resorts, and we’re so excited!
We fawn over Walt Disney World’s Swan & Dolphin Resorts thanks to their elegance, design, and many of their dining options.
Recently, Picabu abruptly announced that they were closing their doors and would be turned into a new spot called Lagoon Lanes, Games & Eats. The full menu was released just a few days ago, and we’re bringing you our FULL review.
We just saw the MENU for the brand-new Lagoon Games & Lanes, which is opening at Walt Disney World Swan & Dolphin Resort!
Lagoon Games, Lanes, and Eats is a new, innovative game room exclusive to Swan & Dolphin Resort. It combines interactive gaming with delicious dining. And, get ready, there’s a BOWLING ALLEY!
It’s no secret we love a good Food and Wine Festival at Disney World!

Swan and Dolphin Hotel
Most people’s minds might go to EPCOT when it comes to festivals in Disney, but they should be thinking of the Swan and Dolphin Resort! This Disney World hotel hosts one of our favorite events in Orlando, and luckily for us, it’s back in 2025! Plus, we finally have new details here!
Well, it’s been another week in Disney World, just basically eating our way around, well, EVERYTHING.
This week saw more Easter snacks popping up (so of course, we’re trying them) PLUS the Easter Egg displays are now up at the hotels (and you should TOTALLY check them out if you’re around). Disney World restaurant menus have changed this week, too, so let’s check out those updates.
Whew — it’s a lot keeping up with all the changes in Disney World these days. We’ve got entire lands closing to make way for new lands, rides getting re-themes, the Muppets taking over a roller coaster and the land we’ve all dreamed of — Villains Land — is finally on the way.
Something big is changing over at the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin, too. As we previously confirmed, the Picabu dining spot has permanently closed to make way for something new — a gaming room called Lagoon Games, Lanes & Eats. Now we’re going to break down everything we know about this new gaming space.
Disney World just keeps changing, but that’s kinda the whole point — the parks and resorts are meant to grow and evolve. However, 2025 has been bringing more changes than EVER! In Disney’s Animal Kingdom, DinoLand, U.S.A. has started a phased closure so it can become Pueblo Esperanza. Even Disney World hotels are changing!
Magic Kingdom is getting both a Cars expansion AND a Villains Land. Disney’s Hollywood Studios is closing Muppets Courtyard to make way for a Monsters, Inc. land, while the Muppets will take over Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster. Well, now, we’ve got another big change to tell you about: a restaurant in Disney World has permanently closed and will soon become a new gaming experience.
The Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resort is going through a transformation of its own — and part of it has officially been completed!
The Marriott-owned hotels previously announced a $275 million transformation featuring a new 120,000-square-foot event space expansion, along with upgrades to its existing space, and guest room renovations. While many of these renovations are still in the works, the guest room renovations are now complete and we’re sharing a peek!
If you’re struggling to figure out which Disney World hotel you’re going to stay at for your vacation, may I humbly suggest the Swan and Dolphin?
Located in the heart of Disney World, these hotels might not be Disney-owned, but they come with some of the same deluxe benefits at a more moderate price point. I’ve stayed here multiple times, and every single trip, I find myself booking another stay before I’ve even checked out. From unbeatable location perks to incredible dining, here’s why the Swan and Dolphin keep pulling me back in.
You know about Disney World chicken tenders, corn dog nuggets, and even where to find the best burgers...
…but what about tacos? Believe it or not, you can find tacos on the menu all around Disney World — and not just in the Mexico Pavilion at EPCOT. In fact, we recently had some of the best tacos we’ve had on Disney World property just steps outside of EPCOT. We stopped by Rosa Mexicano at the Disney World Swan and Dolphin and trust us, you’ll want to, too!
