Plaza Restaurant refurbishment - August 8 2024
Posted: Thursday August 8, 2024 9:30am ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

The Plaza Restaurant on Main Street, U.S.A., at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom continues this week, with a large decorative scrim now in place.

The walls cover the entire exterior, although the restaurant remains open for business and is accessed through the regular entrance.

The Plaza Restaurant offers a quaint dining experience with a nostalgic Victorian ambiance. Known for its classic American fare, the restaurant offers sandwiches, burgers, and salads. The Plaza is a popular choice for guests seeking a quieter dining option within the hustle and bustle of the park. Reservations are recommended, as walk-in availability can be scarce, particularly during peak hours.

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

The removal of the glass “obscurities” is unfortunate. It looked very nice.

Oh. Thought it looked nice. 😂 🤷‍♂️

It was only placed there temporarily to obscure the construction.

Wait, why?

NOOOOO

Can’t think of the word rn but these just roll and stick onto glass. I’ve used them before. They look good.

All of the decorative glass has been removed and replaced with clear glass (or more likely as @EricsBiscuit noted below, a film that can be removed) - photos from today.

I am not the architectural expert at all but IMO the last two buildings towards the right look amazing and fit the era beautifully. The first building on the corner has great touches, apart from this portion which to me looks like newer construction materials trying to evoke an older style (but not quite pulling it off) - This is a problem with the new poly tower, GF lobby in parts, and some other newer remodels.

Always someone in the crowd.

Fair enough, but I really wish they would find a better way to handle it. It really sticks out to me as the sort of thing Disney is reputed to be very good at concealing, but this is just stuck on top of the pavilion in full view of guests. If it was a temporary solution for a new show that was later properly concealed I would understand, but they seem content just leaving it like that.

Not excusing them but most of that equipment belongs to entertainment and is for lagoon fireworks.

I noticed a ton of these at the parks, they don't even try one bit to hide them.
