food IS a theme park
We love walking over to the Yacht Club after a day at EPCOT for great food and stunning water views.
Yacht Club
But a massive closure will put a wrench in our plans soon. A popular Yacht Club restaurant closed today!
Disney World’s Yacht Club Resort is home to so many different nautical-themed restaurants that we frequent.
Prime Rib Sliders at Crew’s Cup Lounge
We were so sad when Disney closed one of our favorites, the Crew’s Cup Lounge, back in February, but Disney quietly announced the reopening date!
Slowly but surely, more and more dining options are reopening their doors and welcoming Disney World guests once again!
Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort
We recently saw the reopening of Jiko over at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge, and the dinner buffet has returned to Cape May Cafe at Disney’s Beach Club Resort, too. We are so excited that more Disney World dining locations are opening back up, and Disney just announced the reopening date of ANOTHER Disney Resort hotel restaurant!
Disney World Cast Members don’t wear mere uniforms at work. Instead, they wear costumes, all dependent on where they work in the resort.

Those costumes often change, sometimes to go with a specific event, and sometimes to match a certain new aesthetic that Disney World has in mind. And we just spotted a drastic change in the costumes for Cast Members at one Disney World restaurant.
We’re eagerly anticipating the opening of Epcot’s Space 220 restaurant, which will allow guests to blast off to the International Space Station for fancy food and tons of wine when it opens “this winter!”
Space 220 VIEW!
But from this news it looks like the space-themed restaurant is making a few changes… .
We spent some time visiting the Grand Floridan and Polynesian Village Resorts while on our way to the Magic Kingdom, and spotted some menu updates for you!
Aloha from Stitch at the Polynesian Village Resort!
After enjoying a Lapu Lapu at the recently renovated Tambu Lounge we found some menu updates at Kona Island.
