Disney4me Posted April 21 Report Share Posted April 21 These Disney restaurants are getting a makeover for 2025! Hi Mickey! It may look pretty different the next time you dine at a Disney resort! We’re looking at restaurants at BOTH Disney World and the Disneyland Resort that are going through changes — both significant and minor. We’ll be zeroing in on restaurants that have just opened or reopened, will be closing for refurbishment, or will be sadly closing permanently, so buckle up and check out these 14 restaurants that are changing in 2025! These restaurants are all changing to varying degrees, but we’ll let you know what to expect and when to expect it. So, without further ado, let’s jump right in! Disney World Pirates of the Caribbean Tavern — Magic Kingdom The new Pirates of the Caribbean Tavern in Adventureland is an upcoming lounge set to open later in 2025. ©Disney Disney is teasing that the lounge will offer a “first-of-its-kind experience [that] will extend the story of Pirates of the Caribbean.” Mama Melrose’s Ristorante Italiano — Disney’s Hollywood Studios Disney’s Hollywood Studios is making way for a new Monsters, Inc. Land and putting it where the current Muppets Courtyard is located. With that comes some inevitable closures. Mama Melrose’s Ristorante Italiano Mama Melrose’s Ristorante Italiano in the Grand Avenue section of the park is closing permanently on May 11th, 2025, with the last days to experience the restaurant on May 10th. PizzaRizzo — Disney’s Hollywood Studios PizzaRizzo in Muppets Courtyard will also be a Monsters, Inc. Land casualty, as it is set to close permanently, as well, to make way for the new land. PizzaRizzo You can visit for the final time on June 7th, 2025, as it is set to close forever the very next day on June 8th. GEO-82 Lounge — EPCOT Spaceship Earth is getting its own lounge in EPCOT and we can’t wait! ©Disney Located behind the attraction, GEO-82 “is a nostalgic nod to Spaceship Earth—which opened in 1982. At GEO-82, you’ll be immersed in the storied history and enduring legacy of this timeless EPCOT icon,” per Disney. This adults-only lounge will serve “global flavors” in classic cocktails and small plates and is set to open in the late spring. Cake Bake Shop — Disney’s BoardWalk Inn Already opened at the BoardWalk, The Cake Bake Shop and Bakery are still fairly new additions to Disney World, and have made waves due to their fancy quality (and high prices). The Cake Bake Shop The Cake Bake Shop restaurant by Gwendolyn Rogers serves sweet and savory menus for breakfast, lunch, and dinner in a table service setting. Hurricane Hanna’s Waterside Bar & Grill — Disney’s Yacht and Beach Club Resorts Disney’s Yacht and Beach Club Resorts are getting a lengthy pool refurbishment with Stormalong Bay’s closure in 2025, which means a poolside bar will also be closed. Hurricane Hanna’s Hurricane Hanna’s Waterside Bar & Grill will be closed from January 2025 through June 2025 for routine maintenance, but the nearby Beaches & Cream Soda Shop will remain open. Sebastian’s Bistro — Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort Sebastian’s Bistro is a popular all-you-can-enjoy restaurant at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort that recently underwent a minor refurbishment. Sebastian’s Bistro After a week-long closure in March, the restaurant reopened with updated floors. Everything Pop Shopping and Dining — Disney’s Pop Century Resort Disney’s Pop Century Resort was frustrating for the longest time because its food court — Everything Pop Shopping and Dining — was closed for the longest time after delays. Everything POP! After an 8-month closure, the food court FINALLY reopened in April 2025 with a brand-new window that offers coffee, cocktails, ice cream treats, and more! Whispering Canyon Cafe — Disney’s Wilderness Lodge Routine maintenance is common for rides and restaurants alike, and this restaurant at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge is no exception. Whispering Canyon Whispering Canyon Cafe is a rowdy family restaurant offering plenty of fun, jokes, all-you-care-to-enjoy skillets, and Western fare. Unfortunately, it will experience a brief refurbishment from May 12th through May 21st, 2025. Disneyland Resort Jolly Holiday Bakery — Disneyland Park Disneyland had a longtime fan-favorite restaurant down for the count for quite some time, but it’s reopened with some changes! Jolly Holiday Bakery Cafe The Jolly Holiday Bakery reopened on March 22nd, 2025 after a lengthy refurbishment with some tasty new menu offerings! Hungry Bear Barbecue Jamboree — Disneyland Park Staying at Disneyland Park, the Hungry Bear Restaurant got a makeover in 2024 and now has a new theme and menu! Hungry Bear Barbecue Jamboree Now themed after the Country Bears and renamed Hungry Bear Barbecue Jamboree, this popular restaurant serves delicious barbecue cuisine — a big improvement over its previous standard theme park fare — in a throwback setting. Napa Rose — Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa One of the most upscale restaurants at Disneyland, Napa Rose at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa is undergoing a lengthy remodel in 2025. Napa Rose This iconic restaurant will be closed until the fall of 2025. When it reopens, it “will have a rustic elegance and will be a tapestry of California’s storied history of wine and winemaking, using natural textures such as reclaimed French oak flooring and columns (a type of wood used to make wine barrels), hand-pinged artisan metals, leathers, deep colors of cabernet, and an eye-catching chandelier inspired by California’s Mission grapevines,” per Disney. ©Disney We’re constantly keeping up with all the latest Disney dining updates, so stay tuned right here at the Disney Food Blog to stay in the know!
