The ONLY Time You Can Eat at These Abandoned Disney World Restaurants

Two Disney World restaurants have been abandoned since 2020.

Tomorrowland Terrace

One of these restaurants is in Magic Kingdom, and the other is in EPCOT. Neither of them are operating with regular hours as typical dining locations and haven’t been since the COVID-19 pandemic. However, you can still enjoy some snacks at both spots under certain circumstances.

Tomorrowland Terrace

Tomorrowland Terrace is a restaurant in Magic Kingdom that was usually only open occasionally, generally during particularly busy seasons. However, it’s been a LONG time since we’ve seen this spot open at all.

Magic Kingdom Dessert Party Sign

Currently, it’s only used for Magic Kingdom fireworks dessert parties where you can grab all you can eat treats. You must reserve your spot at these parties in advance, and they can sell out. Unfortunately, there’s no word on when the restaurant itself might serve food again.

Restaurant Marrakesh

Restaurant Marrakesh in the Morocco pavilion of World Showcase is closed as the restaurant it used to be. From time-to-time, Disney will reopen it as a lounge, and it is currently being used as the Florida Blue Lounge for the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival.

Florida Blue Medicare Lounge

You can grab some snacks and sit in the air conditioning here while it’s available as a lounge. However, we’re still waiting for the full dining experience to return to this restaurant.

These two restaurants and more will continue to be closed (other than as specified above) the coming week of November 10th through November 17th. Find out more below!

Magic Kingdom

Frontierland Shootin’ Arcade

The opening day attraction, the Frontierland Shootin’ Arcade, officially closed on June 23rd.

This closure is to make room for a new DVC lounge that will soon be coming to Frontierland. This will be the third DVC lounge in Disney World, but we don’t have an opening date, yet.

Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy has been inside the Sunset Showcase building for years, but sadly it has now permanently closed.

Disney announced that a new villains show will be replacing the Cars-themed attraction in the summer of 2025. While we don’t have a lot of details about this new entertainment, we are looking forward to some Disney Villains in Hollywood Studios!

Voyage of the Little Mermaid

The Voyage of the Little Mermaid as we know it will NOT return to Disney’s Hollywood Studios. It’s closed now, and Disney has confirmed that this show has permanently closed to make way for an updated version.

Voyage of the Little Mermaid

“The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure”, an all-new stage show, will replace the show in the Animation Courtyard theater, however its opening has been pushed to Summer 2025.

Typhoon Lagoon

Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach swap being open throughout the year.

Typhoon Lagoon

And now the two water parks have officially swapped! Blizzard Beach is now open, and Typhoon Lagoon has closed for refurbishment.

If you’re hoping to enjoy a water park throughout the winter, you’ll need to head to Blizzard Beach. We expect Typhoon Lagoon will reopen once again sometime in the spring! For now, enjoy the slopes!

Disney World Hotels

Everything Pop Food Court — Pop Century Resort

Everything Pop Food Court is a surprisingly great place to grab a bite of food if you’re staying at Disney’s Pop Century Resort.

Food court

This food court has been under construction since July 29th, and it was supposed to reopen to its full capacity on September 29th! However, the refurbishment has been extended until November 30th. On a positive note, though, the areas that were closed off are now open and looking fantastic, while the areas that were open are now closed off for their updates.

World Premiere Food Court — All-Star Movies Resort

The World Premiere Food Court was supposed to officially reopen on July 31st, however that was not the case.

World Premiere Food Court

Most recently, Disney updated the website to say that the Rialto Coffee Shop in World Premiere Food Court is the only thing still closed for refurbishment. If you’re staying at All-Star Movies, be sure to check out this food court for your quick-service meals. We’ll keep you posted on its full reopening!
