Disney World’s 50th anniversary has lots going on and more things get announced as we get closer to October 1. One of the latest announcements for the 50th is a special menu to help celebrate the anniversary.
Some big news that Disney announced recently is that some buffets are returning to Disney World. This was revealed in an announcement that more restaurants will soon be reopening (or already have reopened).
More and more dining options are once again opening their doors in Disney World, which is great to see. Disney has shared another list of restaurants that will be reopening and also some restaurants that will be returning to all-you-care-to-enjoy (buffet) service.
Good news for Boma fans, this restaurant recently reopened and it reopened with buffet service, it didn’t get changed to family style dining like so many of the other former buffet style restaurants. So guests will be able to visit the different cooking stations and decide what they are putting on their plate. The menu looks very similar to what it was before the shut down. And for those who are fans of the Zebra Domes, they’re back! Breakfast is $16 per child and $29 per adult, dinner is $27 per child and $49 per adult.
The buffet at Biergarten returns with lunch and dinner on August 29. Guests will once again be able to enjoy favorites like pretzel rolls, bratwurst, spatzle, schnitzel, apple strudel, and black forest rolls. And since this is a buffet style restaurant guests can go back for as many helping as they would like. The restaurant is currently serving meals family style and will do so through August 28.
Currently The Crystal Palace has a family style menu, but the buffet will be returning on September 12. Guests will be able to enjoy the buffet for both lunch and dinner. Buffet selections include Parker House rolls, create-your-own fresh garden salad, seared pork tenderloin, fire-roasted prime rib, braised beef short ribs, and more.
Guests can enjoy Cantonese, Mongolian, Szechuan, Hunan, and Kiangche-style dishes at this table service restaurant. Nine Dragons Restaurant is located in the China Pavilion and is currently open for dinner Tuesday-Saturday.
Menu Items Include:
This popular dining location reopened a while ago serving lunch and dinner, but guests were missing the breakfast option. Well, starting August 27 breakfast is back! Guests will be able to make breakfast reservations beginning August 24.
This quick service location is located in the Africa section of the park. Guests can look forward to once again grabbing food and drinks from here beginning on August 29. New entrees have been added to the menu, as well.
Menu Items Include:
This is a walkup quick service location in the Echo Lake area of the park and it opened today! Serving both lunch and dinner, guests can choose from a few different entry items. Shrimp Salad Roll, Chipotle Chicken Salad Roll, and Smoked Fish Dip round out the entrees, and guests can satisfy their sweet tooth with the Seaside Brownie for dessert. Kids’ meals are also available with choices of Macaroni & Cheese or PB&J Uncrustables. There’s also a selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks.
Which dining option are you most excited to see return? We’re big Boma fans, so I’m really glad that’s returning as a buffet and not family style. It’s great to see all these dining options returning to Disney World!
Thanks for reading!

Exciting news was announced today regarding the Space 220 restaurant that had been announced a while ago, but until today there was very little information about an opening date. While we may not have an exact date, it was definitely narrowed down in today’s announcement.
Disney World announced more good news today as four more restaurants receive reopening dates. All of them will be reopening by the beginning of August.

Another restaurant in Disney World has a reopening date and it’s a popular one in Animal Kingdom. Disney has announced that Tusker House will be reopening on June 20.
Disney World has been reopening things in phases and one area of phased openings has been the dining locations in and around the parks. There are a lot of restaurants that have reopened, but still some remain closed, so the question is when will we get those options back?
The Regal Eagle Smokehouse opened a little less than a year ago in the American Pavilion at Epcot. As it’s name suggests, the theme of the restaurant is BBQ and Sam Eagle (from the Muppets) also is featured at the restaurant.
Chef Mickey’s will be serving breakfast again starting December 16. Not only that, but the characters will be back for breakfast too!
When Disney World reopened, the number of dining options available were limited. Slowly, but surely, more options are becoming available.
There have been many changes announced ahead of Disney World’s reopening next month. One of those changes was guests having their dining reservations cancelled through the rest of 2020.
