There are still a couple of things in Disney World that haven’t reopened after the pandemic-related park closures of 2020, like Restaurant Marrakesh in EPCOT and Voyage of the Little Mermaid in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. However, there are other things that have almost ALWAYS been inconsistent with opening times!

There’s one restaurant in Magic Kingdom that’s notoriously unreliable when it comes to opening times, and we’re wondering if we’ll EVER see it finally return.

Tomorrowland Terrace Restaurant

Tomorrowland Terrace is a quick service restaurant located in — you guessed it — Tomorrowland.

We can’t blame the pandemic-related closures of 2020 on this restaurant’s closure, because even BEFORE that, the Terrace was only occasionally open.

It would usually only be open seasonally, during particularly busy times like Spring Break.

However, it’s been a LONG time since we’ve seen this restaurant open for visitors. Pretty much the only thing it’s used for now is the Magic Kingdom Fireworks Dessert Parties.

We saw it open in late 2020, when it was serving some favorites from Columbia Harbour House‘s menu while that restaurant was temporarily closed.

Once in a while, you’ll see the dining area open as a rest area, but usually it’s all roped off and empty. So WHEN could we see this restaurant finally return? Right now, Disney’s website still notes that it’s temporarily closed, and the calendar shows no opening times available through late December (which is as far as Disney’s calendar goes right now).

There’s no update on a possible reopening for Tomorrowland Terrace, but we’ll continue to cross our fingers and hope for its return!

This restaurant isn’t the only thing that’s currently closed in Disney World. Let’s check out all the temporary closures in Disney World for the week of October 29th through November 4th.

Magic Kingdom

Tiana’s Bayou Adventure

Splash Mountain closed on January 23rd for a long refurbishment. The ride is being re-themed to become Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, with a Princess and the Frog theme.

The new ride will reopen sometime in late 2024. We’ll be watching for more updates on the reopening timeline. The tree at the top of this ride has been removed as Disney continues construction, and several new rock structures have been built at the bottom of the drop. The queue area is being redone, and we recently saw some concrete added to this space.

There’s a new water tower as well, which says “Tiana’s Foods” on the front and “Never, ever lose sight of what’s really important” on the back. It’s topped with Tiana’s crown, which has two stars on it to represent Ray and Evangeline. In addition, Cast Members are currently working on a large mural that’s painted on the side of the queue building.

If you miss Splash Mountain or want to celebrate the new ride, you should check out our DFB t-shirts! We have a Splash Mountain Farwell Tour shirt…

…and a Tiana tee as well!

You can shop both tees (and lots of other Disney merch) at our online store.

Barrel Bridge on Tom Sawyer Island in Magic Kingdom

Over on Tom Sawyer Island, the Barrel Bridge is currently missing.

A Cast Member told us that it had been removed for maintenance, and they didn’t know when it might return (it’s been missing for a few months now). The rest of the island is still open to explore, though.

Important CHANGE Announced for Festival of Fantasy in Magic Kingdom

EPCOT

Restaurant Marrakesh

Almost all of the restaurants that were closed in EPCOT during the 2020 park closure have reopened, but Restaurant Marrakesh in the Morocco Pavilion is still closed with no word on when it will reopen.

Since closing, the empty restaurant has been used as a relaxation station, a lounge…pretty much everything but dining. Recently, we saw that the hedges that were previously in front of the entrance have been removed and the space is once again open as a lounge. We’re hoping the restaurant returns soon!

Disney’s Hollywood Studios

Voyage of the Little Mermaid

Voyage of the Little Mermaid is a stage show located in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. It closed with the rest of the parks in 2020 for the pandemic-related shut-down, but even after the parks reopened and the rest of the entertainment slowly returned as well, this attraction remained closed.

Disney hasn’t announced when or if the Voyage of the Little Mermaid will reopen. However, we have some hope for the show. Disney released this new pin in March 2022 celebrating the 30th anniversary of the attraction, which seems like something they wouldn’t do if they were going to close the show for good.

Although we haven’t heard anything definitive about Voyage of the Little Mermaid, we have hope that it could reopen sometime in the future! We’ll be sure to let you know about any updates

Blizzard Beach

Blizzard Beach, one of Disney World’s water parks is closed for refurbishment. However, it’s going to reopen SOON!

Blizzard Beach will reopen on November 6th. Typhoon Lagoon is no longer showing hours from November 6th onward, so it’s likely that this other water park will close as Blizzard Beach reopens.

1900 Park Fare at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort

At Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort, 1900 Park Fare is a table service restaurant where you could meet characters like Mary Poppins and Alice in Wonderland at their Supercalifragilistic Breakfast and Cinderella and her Prince Charming during the Cinderella’s Happily Ever After Dinner.

They also had a special event for younger children called the Wonderland Tea Party. It’s sad to see a spot closed that had so much character interaction! Disney hasn’t announced a permanent closure, so there is hope for 1900 Park Fare.

With 1900 Park Fare closed…you’ll need this SECRET spot to get afternoon tea in Disney World!
