It is a big week for restaurant and snack news in Disney World.

Trail’s End

We’ve been gearing up for one of the biggest days of the year in Disney World — EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival — which begins on July 27th, 2023. But, did you know that a popular restaurant that had closed for a refurbishment and redesign was scheduled to reopen this week as well? Trail’s End Restaurant at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground was set to open on July 27th as a new quick-service concept, but it has opened its doors early for a soft opening and we went to check it out. Come see how it went!

In the past, this location was a table-service spot that served family-style skillets for breakfast and dinner. With its new remodel, this dining spot changed into a quick-service restaurant that has a “fresh, new look that enhances the resort’s quaint charm and honors its heritage at the heart of the Walt Disney World Resort, with warm wooden furnishings, beamed ceilings, and rustic accents.”

First off, we noticed that the dining room got a nice refresh!

Some decor on the walls highlights these rustic accents.

Crockett’s Tavern down below also got a refresh.

Over where the food is served, there are a lot of options to consider.

There is a grab-and-go section with tons of hot food items to choose from.

We spotted Pecan-smoked Brisket…
