A quiet and unsung hero of Walt Disney World table service appears to be closing its doors for good in a way, as it was announced today that Trail’s End Restaurant at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground will close in spring 2023 for refurbishment, marking the end of its current life as a table service outlet.

Trail’s End Restaurant is a part of Pioneer Hall at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground, having began as a table service restaurant when the building first opened in 1974. The restaurant will close sometime this spring to become a marketplace-style quick service outlet, bringing an end to nearly half a century of sit-down dining at Pioneer Hall. An exact reopening date is not known other than “later this year.”

We last dined at Trail’s End in March 2022, when we hailed the new desserts as “in the conversation for best desserts at Walt Disney World.” Operations of the Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue, which shares a kitchen, will not be affected by this change and will continue as they have for 49 years.

Are you disappointed to see Trail’s End fade away into history? Let us know in the comments below!
