Disney has already released the menus and pricing for this new restaurant, and we’ve also taken a look at the concept art for the dining rooms. In fact, we’ve already seen the exterior of the restaurant when the construction walls around Disney’s Contemporary Resort lobby came down last week. Now all that’s left to check out is the food — and you can get a sneak peek at some of the new dishes here.
Disney World’s 50th Anniversary is in just a few days, and there’s a lot we’ll be celebrating!
