If you’re planning a trip to Disney World soon, you need to stay in the loop about upcoming closures!


Mickey waffle with chicken? Yes, please!


It’s not uncommon for rides, hotel pools, attractions, or other offerings to close temporarily for refurbishment. Thankfully, Disney World typically announces those closures in advance on its website so you can prepare for your trip. And today, we’re here to remind you that a popular restaurant is about to close for several months.



Planning guide for the ultimate Disney vacation

The Grand Floridian Cafe at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort is one of the most beloved brunch spots in Disney World, and they also serve dinner each day with a variety of comfort foods. But starting in mid-July and running through October, this restaurant will be closed for refurbishment.


Seating at the Grand Floridian Cafe


Disney hasn’t officially announced a date for this closure yet, but looking at the Grand Floridian Cafe webpage, it shows regular hours through Sunday, July 19th, then the hours change to brunch only starting on Monday, July 20th. It’s possible that this is the date of the closure because Disney has also revealed that brunch will move upstairs to Citricos while Grand Floridian Cafe is under refurbishment.

Of course, once we get dates that are firmly announced (as well as a reopening date), we’ll make sure to let you know. This closure comes in conjuction with ongoing refurbishments at the Grand Floridian as a whole. Those renovations extend around various exterior parts of the hotel through early 2027, so if you’re visiting, you could see construction during daytime hours.

Brunch at Grand Floridian Cafe is one of our favorite meals, so even if your trip is happening during the restaurant closure, you might want to check out the alternate brunch at Citricos. Disney hasn’t yet revealed if the menu will be the same, but we particularly love the Chicken and Mickey waffles, as well as the Grand Floridian Cafe Signature Burger. The Floridian-Style Eggs Benedict are also a big hit!


DELISH!
