Disney4me Posted July 16, 2021 Report Share Posted July 16, 2021 We don’t know about you, but all these restaurant and hotel reopenings at Disney World have got us really excited! Citricos We can’t wait to revisit places like the Port Orleans Resorts and we were SO excited to finally eat again at ‘Ohana at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort. But today takes us to Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, where Citricos has finally reopened! Atmosphere If you’ve been to Citricos in the past, you’ll notice that some things have changed — the restaurant’s theme is now inspired by Mary Poppins Returns. Inside Citricos With the new theming comes colorful furniture and all sorts of Mary Poppins easter eggs! So pretty! There is also a Sommelier Room in the back that’s set to start offering a five-course dining experience this Fall! The room is full of full little details including a picture of Cherry Tree Lane, upside-down umbrella chandeliers, and… The Sommelier Room! …Mary Poppins’ carpet bag and parrot umbrella! There are Easter eggs all over the place! After our table was ready, we headed over to the front of Citricos and were led to our table! Time to check in! As usual, our table at Citricos was beautiful with colorful seating and a nice table placement! Our table! Menu After we sat down, we scanned the QR code and looked at the menu! The QR code!
