If you have been wondering which dining locations will open in Walt Disney World’s theme parks during the initial reopening phase, wonder no more! We have the full list!

Disney Dining

Walt Disney World’s phased reopening has been met with a lot of uncertainty. But one thing we do know is this: theme park guests are going to want to EAT.

Walt Disney World dining is an experience many guests love. If you have been missing your favorite Disney snacks and meals, you are probably in good company!

We have seen a lot of changes surrounding Disney dining. First, Disney announced it would be canceling the Disney Dining Plan until further notice.

Disney also canceled all existing meal reservations. We now know that guests can book their dining reservations 60 days prior to their trip, assuming that bookings are open at that point in time.

We also know that guests will now have the option to do mobile check in for many restaurants. Disney has even updated mobile ordering to allow gift cards!

Many restaurants even saw updated menus. Click here for details.

Now, in addition to the list of Disney Springs and Disney Resort dining establishments, we have a new list! Disney has finally released theme park dining locations.

Character locator is being updated to reflect this. You can visit CL for a full list of restaurants and menus and continue to check there for updates as the parks make adjustments during the phased reopening.

Is Biergarten going to be a buffet?

Hi Kenny, I see that Garden Grill made the list for EPCOT.... Are they really going to have the restaurant open without characters? It's odd that this is the only In-Park Character Meal location left on the list... thoughts?

Yes, they are supposed to only serve food there. Only Topolino's has characters and they are distanced from guests
