New Dining Locations Planned for Walt Disney World in 2018

Walt Disney World has been opening more and more exciting, themed dining locations at Disney Springs as the entire area is re-constructed and re-envisioned.  Disney Parks Blog has announced two new restaurants already in the works, which are expected to open at Disney Springs in 2018.  These new restaurants are Jaleo and another Wolfgang Puck restaurant.  We have the details that have been released thus far on each of the concepts, below.

Jaleo will be created by Chef Jose Andres’ ThinkFoodGroup.  It is expected to open in the West Side area.  It will feature flavors from Spain that will bring together the flavors from different regions and styles throughout Spanish cuisine.  There are currently 5 locations of the restaurant in the United States and Mexico City and the Florida location will be the first and only for the state.  There will also be a section of the restaurant where guests can grab quick items to take with them to eat, or guests will be able to stay and dine for a table-service dining experience.

Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill is expected to open in the Town Center area of Disney Springs.  This will be a more modern take on the traditional bar and grill type of restaurants with a bit of farmhouse type of theme.  It is meant to have the same kind of vibe that Spago (the first Puck restaurant) in Los Angeles has.  It will feature many of Wolfgang Puck’s signature dishes from the restaurant and some of his other restaurants.  It is expected to be a more modernized version of comfort food.

What do you all think of these newly announced restaurants?  Which one are you most excited for?

About Christy Caby

I am a diehard Disney fanatic! I fell in love with all things Disney from an early age and that only increased once I first visited Walt Disney World! It led me to complete a yearlong Disney College Program working at merchandise locations within Disney’s Hollywood Studios (Disney-MGM Studios at that time) and I worked for Disney Parks & Resorts Technology in Project/Program Management. Now I get to write about Disney and help others plan their magical vacations! Disney holds a special place in the hearts of my entire family as my husband proposed there, we honeymooned there, took trips while pregnant with each of my boys and have visited with them many, many times from 8 weeks old through now. One of my favorite memories from each trip is always the look on my kids’ faces the first time they see the castle. I’d love to help you plan your magical vacation!
