Steakhouse 71 will be a “casual dining concept.” The new restaurant takes its name from Disney’s Contemporary Resort’s opening year-you guessed it, 1971!

As the Contemporary turns 50, some things will need to change! That includes The Wave, which will not be returning the Resort.

Instead, Steakhouse 71 is expected to replace The Wave…of American Flavors.
