Hi James!
Thanks for stopping by planDisney with your question.
I'm so excited to see you have a Walt Disney World Resort vacation on the horizon! October will be here before you know it, and it's going to be an awesome time to be in The Most Magical Place on Earth! Walt Disney World will be celebrating a very big milestone this year - a 50th Anniversary! All four theme parks will be joining in for
The World's Most Magical Celebration, with lots of new offerings for Guests, including
Beacons of Magic, the
Disney Fab 50 Character Collection, two new
Nighttime Spectaculars,
Disney Kite Tails, and a brand new attraction in Epcot -
Remy's Ratatouille Adventure. The celebration begins on October 1.
If you're planning to visit
Disney Springs during your vacation and would like to check out the dining options available to you, it's easy to find a list of Disney Springs dining locations on the Walt Disney World website. From the
home page of the website, hover over the "Things to Do" tab, and then select "All Restaurants" from the drop-down menu. Once on the
Dining page, select the "All Parks and Resorts" option and put a check in the box next to Disney Springs (in the "Other Destinations" list). This will narrow down the restaurant listings to only the ones located in the Disney Springs area.
To see the names of the dining locations that are temporarily unavailable, scroll to the bottom of the list of restaurants. At this time, I only see two locations that are unavailable:
Pepe by Jose Andres and
The Smokehouse at House of Blues. That means you'll have around 60 dining locations to choose from when you visit Disney Springs! There are so many amazing dining choices at Disney Springs. Some of my favorites are
Chef Art Smith's Homecomin',
Earl of Sandwich, and
The BOATHOUSE. I hope you find the perfect dining experience when you visit!
Have a magical day!
