Disney4me Posted June 4, 2025 Report Posted June 4, 2025 Disney World has plenty of restaurants to choose from while you’re on vacation. From quick service to full table service meals, you’ll have a wide range of options. Mama Melrose’s Ristorante Italiano However, as we say, one thing is certain about Disney World: it will change. We have seen restaurants close and change a lot over the years. Recently, two restaurants at Disney’s Hollywood Studios have been set to close — Mama Melrose’s Ristorante Italiano and PizzeRizzo. That had us wondering if Disney fans are tired of seeing restaurants close, so we asked our readers, “What have you HAD IT with as far as restaurant closures in Disney World go?” Trail’s End Over at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground, Trail’s End saw a BIG change in 2023. After a year-long closure, the restaurant reopened as a quick-service spot with market-style service. If you’re a longtime Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue fan and you want to indulge in the fried chicken or the strawberry shortcake, you can stop here and get them for cheaper. However, not every Disney fan is happy about the change. Trail’s End A reader, Julie, wrote, “I was extremely disappointed when Trail’s End was converted from a sit-down buffet to a cafeteria restaurant.” Before the reopening in 2023, the restaurant was a family-style meal when Disney World reopened after the pandemic closure. Breakfast at Trail’s End in 2021 Before the global health crisis, Trail’s End ran as a beloved buffet. The shift from buffet to the quick service style is a big change, and we understand why there are guests who are not happy about it. Hot foods Mickey’s Backyard BBQ Several of our readers shared that they are sad that Mickey’s Backyard BBQ closed in 2018. This was a fun event, held at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Campgrounds, that brought together the best parts of summer fun — BBQ, picnics, music, dancing, and…Disney characters! You were able to join Mickey and Friends for a family-style dinner, complete with line dancing, rope tricks, and a dinner show. Nothing has taken the place of Mickey’s Backyard BBQ since the closure, so maybe with some begging (and pixie dust), it could be brought back! Mickey’s Backyard BBQ sign Pecos Bill’s Tall Tale Inn Amy shared, “Pecos Bill, when they used to have a hamburger toppings bar, I miss that.” Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn and Cafe is a quick-service restaurant located in Magic Kingdom. Before 2020, this restaurant was known for its large toppings bar for their burgers, including pickles, lettuce, and more. However, it is still missing after 5 years. No full topping bar Tomorrowland Terrace Tomorrowland Terrace, located in Magic Kingdom, is another restaurant that has Disney fans annoyed. Kat shared, “I want the Tomorrowland terrace to open up as either a quick service or a sit-down.” Another wrote in response, “that needs to be better utilized.” Tomorrowland Terrace Tomorrowland Terrace is typically only open seasonally on peak crowd days in the park. It does serve, however, as the location for the Magic Kingdom Fireworks Dessert Viewing Parties in the evenings. Firework Party at Tomorrowland Terrace Artist Point A reader really took it back to the original Artist Point at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge. Don wrote, “Original Artist’s Point at Wilderness Lodge was *amazing*!!!” In 2018, Story Book Dining at Artist Point with Snow White opened as a Character Meal.
