While we’re looking forward to this summer and all the new experiences coming to Disney World — we’ll get to see the opening of GEO-82 in EPCOT as well as (hopefully) Test Track’s reopening, and we know that The Beak and Barrel in Magic Kingdom is set to open late this summer — there are a few things going away that make us VERY sad.

With this summer also comes the closure of Muppets Courtyard in Disney’s Hollywood Studios to make way for the new Monsters, Inc. Land, and while some of those closures don’t hit until later this year, you only have DAYS left to experience this restaurant before it shuts its doors forever.
Mama Melrose’s Ristorante Italiano will close its doors on May 11th, meaning the last day to dine is May 10th — that’s only FOUR days away!

This restaurant is tucked away into the back corner of the land, and it’s a table service restaurant, so it’s best you look into getting an advance dining reservation before heading that way.

Thankfully, we have until June 7th to say goodbye to PizzeRizzo and Muppet*Vision 3D. At that time, the land will close to be turned into Monstropolis, and the Muppets will make their way over to Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster.

If you’re looking to grab some Italian eats elsewhere on property once Mama Melrose’s closes its doors, we suggest:
- Trattoria al Forno at the BoardWalk
- Via Napoli Ristorante e Pizzeria in EPCOT
- Il Mulino New York Trattoria at Disney’s Swan Resort
