Guests looking for sustainable seafood and prime steaks may soon be able to once again dine at Flying Fish. The restaurant, located at Disney’s Boardwalk, is rumored to open in September.
Flying Fish features an open kitchen, allowing guests to watch chefs prepare dishes like Hokkaido scallops, Sardinian seafood pasta, and char-crusted New York strip. Although the restaurant has been closed since March 2020, a menu is still available online.
Despite some recent set backs in Central Florida with COVID-19 cases on the rise, causing Walt Disney World to return to the mask requirement for indoor locations, we are seeing Disney steadily keep the reopenings coming! There are several restaurants and attractions reopening this month, so we have a LOT to celebrate. Not only are we cheering on Disney’s reopenings – Cast Members are celebrating the return of these eateries as well! Recently, Walt Disney World once again opened the doors to three restaurants spread throughout Disney property.
As shared via Walt Disney World Cast & Community Facebook: “Cast Members all across Walt Disney World are celebrating the return of even more delicious dining establishments. From Spanish-inspired cuisine with a rooftop view at Toledo – Tapas, Steak & Seafood to scrumptious quick-service eats at Pizzafari and Columbia Harbour House — we are so excited to taste what’s on the menu and give the Cast Members a big “welcome back!’”
Still a fairly new table-service restaurant to the Disney mix, this restaurant serves up delicious Spanish-inspired dishes along with heavenly sips of wine and beverages. The roof-top dining allows for gorgeous views as well!
Pizzafari has a super kid-friendly and the air-conditioning can’t be beat. Pizzafari began greeting guests once again on August 2!
Lastly, Columbia Harbour House – a favorite quick-service restaurant in the Liberty Square portion of Magic Kingdom is once again open! We’re thrilled to have it back as of August 5.
Welcome back to all the fantastic Disney Cast Members that make it possible to reopen all of these experiences! While all three of these restaurants are very different dining experiences, they provide Disney fans more options which is what we’re all about.
