Cast Members Celebrate Reopening of Three Disney Restaurants!

Despite some recent set backs in Central Florida with COVID-19 cases on the rise, causing Walt Disney World to return to the mask requirement for indoor locations, we are seeing Disney steadily keep the reopenings coming! There are several restaurants and attractions reopening this month, so we have a LOT to celebrate. Not only are we cheering on Disney’s reopenings – Cast Members are celebrating the return of these eateries as well! Recently, Walt Disney World once again opened the doors to three restaurants spread throughout Disney property.

As shared via Walt Disney World Cast & Community Facebook: “Cast Members all across Walt Disney World are celebrating the return of even more delicious dining establishments. From Spanish-inspired cuisine with a rooftop view at Toledo – Tapas, Steak & Seafood to scrumptious quick-service eats at Pizzafari and Columbia Harbour House — we are so excited to taste what’s on the menu and give the Cast Members a big “welcome back!'” Check out the photos below:

We were thrilled to see Toledo – Tapas, Steak & Seafood, located at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort reopen. Still a fairly new table-service restaurant to the Disney mix, this restaurant serves up delicious Spanish-inspired dishes along with heavenly sips of wine and beverages. The roof-top dining allows for gorgeous views as well!

While Pizzafari isn’t necessarily our first choice when it comes to Disney’s Animal Kingdom quick-service options (think Flame Tree Barbecue or Satu’li Canteen), we did miss this restaurant as it is super kid-friendly and the air-conditioning can’t be beat. Pizzafari began greeting guests once again on August 2!

Lastly, Columbia Harbour House – a favorite quick-service restaurant in the Liberty Square portion of Magic Kingdom is once again open! We didn’t realize how much we like this quick-service option until it was gone. We’re thrilled to have it back as of August 5.

Welcome back to all the fantastic Disney Cast Members that make it possible to reopen all of these experiences! While all three of these restaurants are very different dining experiences, they provide Disney fans more options which is what we’re all about. Happy dining, Disney lovers!
