Known for offering a cozy, nostalgic dining experience, The Plaza Restaurant is a favorite among guests seeking a quieter spot within the park. The menu features classic American fare, including sandwiches, burgers, and salads, served in an elegant setting reminiscent of turn-of-the-century Main Street U.S.A.

Due to its popularity, especially during peak park hours, reservations are highly recommended, as walk-in availability is often limited.

I just think it's funny is all. It's slightly disappointing though as this was one of my favorite underrated restaurants in MK, but I'm not gonna eat there while the windows are covered and it's all dark (claustrophobic)

Now you're just being ridiculous. There's no beige.

Or they’re updating it to match the new art direction of Main Street

Guess: The decorative refinish revealed structural issues.

I guess they weren’t happy with something?

Curious as to what is going on now. As mentioned, this was behind scrims last year (and I still remember the beautiful, albeit temporary, window decorations!) and now scrims again. 🤔

They need to consult with you on your schedule so that this doesn't happen. ;)

TheCoasterNerdMar 07, 2025

Honestly kinda hilarious though. I take two disney trips in a year, over eight months apart, and the same building is under seperate refurbs both times

And now fully photo-scrimmed.

There's no way

Construction walls and scaffolding have returned to a portion of The Plaza Restaurant - photo from today: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54307009085_98d2a5abc4_k.jpg

Fair. But who wants to watch the unwashed masses flowing by while eating at The Plaza? 😉

But not so much if you are inside dining and want to enjoy the view
