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.

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.
