[Travisma 1,317]

Disney Springs announced that it will reopen in phases beginning Wednesday, May 20, marking first steps to reopening for the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida. But how many Disney Springs restaurants plan to open on that day? We wanted to make sure our readers know the answer to that question.

Here’s a list of every Disney Springs restaurant that will be open starting May 20. This list includes restaurants that have either confirmed a reopening date on or after May 20, as well as restaurants that have confirmed they are yet to select an official reopening date.

Disney Springs Restaurants with No Reopening Confirmation

Jaleo’s by José Andrés

Jaleo did not confirm with Inside the Magic that they were going to be open on May 20, but they provide us with a statement:

We are working towards a gradual re-opening of the restaurant once it is legal and safe for both our staff and our guests. As of right now, we are actively working on solutions to help us open our doors safely, but until then, stay tuned to our social and we’ll be sure to let you know when we are ready to welcome you back to our Disney Springs location. 

The BOATHOUSE®: Great Food, Waterfront Dining, Dream Boats™

The BOATHOUSE confirmed by phone that they are currently deciding on a reopening date, they could neither confirm nor deny if they will reopen in Disney Spring’s first phase of reopening or not.

Disney Springs Reopening

At this time, all other Disney Springs restaurants such as The Edison, Morimoto Asia, Amorette’s Patisserie, and the Rainforest Cafe have not made any indication on their socials, over the phone, or on OpenTable confirming or denying that they will be open on May 20.

Please note that while we have confirmation that these restaurants will be open on May 20, that does not guarantee that there will be availabilities. Please check directly with each restaurant for their up-to-date availability.

Also, we want to remind our viewers that all of these revelations are either coming from OpenTable or the restaurants themselves. The My Disney Experience app and the Walt Disney World resort website still do not show any availabilities before June 1. Any reservation at any other Disney World restaurants in the theme parks or at the resort hotels, or any Disney resort hotel reservation, can now only be made after July 1.

When they reopen it will be a lot different. One of the things about Raglan Road to us wasn't just the entertainment but also the loud and boisterous atmosphere. I don't know how you maintain that with restricted seating. I can also see restricted seating causing the restaurants to decide not to reopen early due to the financials.

That's been discussed on a lot of the local and national news broadcasts.

Places that were able to switch over to take out/delivery fairly successfully are wondering if it's worth going back to dine in if they can't fill the seats.

While they aren't making as much $$ on the take outs, their overheads have been less so they are almost doing as good as they did before the restrictions.

Of course there are still a lot of workers without jobs because they didn't need as large of a staff.

We've seen the similar results here with restaurants that have been able to switch to take out and/or delivery. We are at least a few weeks away from restaurants being able to seat people indoors or outdoors. Some restaurants are hoping that the governor will allow an interim outdoor only sooner. Whether that happens who knows.
