food IS a theme park
Disney World fans tend to have pretty mixed opinions about the Disney Dining Plan.

While some love the add-on for its convenience and ease of use, others avoid it because it can be a waste of money if not used to its full potential. Either way, it likely makes Disney a decent amount of money, otherwise they wouldn’t continue to offer it for your vacation. In fact, the Disney Dining Plan is returning in 2026, and it looks like the prices are going UP.
These Disney restaurants are getting a makeover for 2025!
Hi Mickey!
It may look pretty different the next time you dine at a Disney resort! We’re looking at restaurants at BOTH Disney World and the Disneyland Resort that are going through changes — both significant and minor. We’ll be zeroing in on restaurants that have just opened or reopened, will be closing for refurbishment, or will be sadly closing permanently, so buckle up and check out these 14 restaurants that are changing in 2025!
When it comes to dining at Disney World, you’ve got a TON of options. Want something quick and easy? They’ve got it. Something middle of the road and comforting? Yep, they’ve got that, too. And if you’re looking for something upscale and luxurious, you can find that, as well.

I’m a Disney World food expert, and there are places in the parks where I REFUSE to eat.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Now, because it’s our mission here at Disney Food Blog to eat at every restaurant in Disney World frequently, we don’t truly avoid any locations when it comes to dining reviews. But when we’re booking our own personal vacations, there are definitely some spots that we skip, simply based on preference. And today, we’re sharing the list of restaurants that we often refuse to book at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
We’re visiting a classic Magic Kingdom restaurant to see if it still holds up!
Let’s go!
The Crystal Palace is an established Magic Kingdom buffet that serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner in a Victorian greenhouse setting. The restaurant offers a character dining experience featuring Winnie the Pooh and pals from the Hundred-Acre Wood and some tasty American fare. We recently visited and left with PLENTY of thoughts!

The Disney Dining Plan returned to Disney World as a Vacation Package add-on for on-property hotel stays last year and remains a feature in 2025. No longer is it a question of if you can get the Disney Dining Plan, but rather if you should get the Plan. We’re here to lay out the pros (and some cons) of the Disney Dining Plan so you can make an informed decision! [Read more…]
It’s a new year and a new opportunity to enjoy all the eats Disney World has to offer!
Magic Kingdom
At the beginning of each new year, we like to preview what’s in store for Disney World and for this one, we’re focusing on restaurants. We’ll be taking a look at the best of the best when it comes to Disney World dining, and which restaurants you should visit based on your priorities. This is a big one, so without further ado, let’s jump right into it!
Not all that glitters is gold, especially when it comes to expensive dining at Disney World.
Hollywood Studios
We have our list of favorite restaurants and we often revisit these places to see if the quality holds up. Disney World restaurants change all the time, and sometimes that means a dip in quality. Unfortunately, this might be the case at one such restaurant in Disney’s Hollywood Studios — and that’s extra disappointing given its price tag.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
