UPDATED November 14, 2025

Disney has so many new ideas planned, and we are so excited!

From new themed lands, theme park expansions, restaurants, and cruise ships, there is so much in store for Disney in the future! We are incredibly excited for all the new dining locations and cannot wait to try them when they open!

 

Disneyland

Downtown Disney

Hopping over to the West Coast, Disneyland’s Downtown Disney is currently under a lot of construction to bring us new dining experiences!

Porto’s Bakery

It was announced at D23 back in 2022 that Porto’s Bakery would be opening in Downtown Disney. This spot is very well known in Southern California. This bakery serves up delicious signature pastries and savory Cuban food.

At the bakery and cafe, you’ll be able to pick up “signature Cheese Rolls, Potato Balls and other favorite goodies.” But if you want an elevated experience, this will be the first Porto’s location with sit-down service and a full bar. Stay tuned for more information on an opening timeline!

Earl of Sandwich and The Carnaby Tavern

Porto’s Bakery will be taking the previous physical spot of Earl of Sandwich, but fear not! Earl of Sandwich will be getting a new permanent location.

In fact, the second floor of the new space will be home to Gordon Ramsay at The Carnaby, an all-new British-themed gastropub! Gordon Ramsay at The Carnaby is brought to us by world-famous Chef Gordon Ramsay and the creators of Earl of Sandwich.

In the meantime, you can still pick up some of your favorite sandwiches at their temporary pop-up location next to the Star Wars Trading Post!

Arthur & Sons Steak and Bourbon and Pearl’s Roadside BBQ

Also on the way is Arthur & Sons Steak and Bourbon, which will be a classic steakhouse by Michelin Star Chef Joe Isidori!

It will offer “prime cuts of beef, fresh seafood, sandwiches and salads, and an impressive selection of bourbon and inventive cocktails,” and will also home to a center bar.

Next door, you’ll find Pearl’s Roadside BBQ, a quick service restaurant offering pulled pork, beef brisket, smoked heritage turkey with house-made sauces, craft beers, and moonshine cocktails. And guess what?

This spot will also be brought to Downtown Disney by Chef Joe Isidori! 

These two restaurants will occupy the space that was formerly the Tortilla Jo’s (and the Taqueria) at Downtown Disney.

Bopo Go!

Bopo Go! is also coming to the shopping and dining district. This is a new cafe concept that has been created for Downtown Disney specifically! Eric Wang and Philip Wang, co-owners of Bopomofo Cafe, created the new cafe to serve “high-quality, authentic boba and bubble tea” using no artificial ingredients.

The tea will be sourced from farmers in Taiwan, and the matcha will be ceremonial grade from Japan. In addition to the drinks, this spot will have light bites, imported snacks, and candies.

Disney Cruise Line

Disney Destiny Cruise Ship

The new Disney Destiny will join the Disney Cruise Line fleet when she sets sail starting on November 20, 2025! As part of a media preview event, we sailed on the NEW Disney Destiny earlier this month! So you’ll find links to our REVIEWS of several of the eateries below!

The Destiny features a few of the same dining experiences as the Disney Treasure and Disney Wish, but also delivers unique dining venues all its own. 

The similar dining experiences from the Disney Treasure include:

• Worlds of Marvel
• 1923
• Haunted Mansion Parlor
• Marceline Market
• The Rose
• Palo Steakhouse

And, as promised, the Destiny will present several of its own exclusive restaurants:

Pride Lands: Feast of The Lion King

In addition to Worlds of Marvel and 1923, let’s look at the NEW Rotational Dining experience that will be exclusive to the Disney Destiny! The Lion King will come to life in a brand new way at Pride Lands: Feast of The Lion King! This theatrical dining experience will be the FIRST themed to the beloved Walt Disney Animation Studios film.

The animals and nature that make up the African savanna will be “brought to life” in unique ways through lighting and special effects. The windows of the restaurant, for example, will transform from sunrise to sunset as you dine, and the restaurant’s focal piece will feature tiered risers made to resemble African drums. A cast of live musicians and storytellers will “present a musical journey through the award-winning soundtrack as you dine.”

If you’re a diehard Disney Parks fan who hasn’t previously considered a Disney Cruise… well, you may find that some of the NEW lounges on the Disney Destiny offer the best of both worlds. The Disney Treasure is the first ship in the fleet to feature a Haunted Mansion Parlor, and we’re thrilled to see that the trend is continuing on the Destiny as well! Let’s explore more of the adult-exclusive spaces coming to the Destiny…

Cask and Cannon

Hoist yer colours, mateys! The Disney Destiny will be home to Cask and Cannon — a Pirates of the Caribbean-themed bar! Disney shared that this new lounge is “Inspired by the iconic characters and scenes from the beloved Disney Parks attractions around the world, the new pub will be an eclectic yet cozy watering hole furnished with treasures ‘acquired’ (read: pillaged and pilfered) during the pirates’ many voyages around the globe.”

Not only that, but you’ll be able to catch your favorite game on the television here, plus enjoy rare and specialty rums — and a “selection of ‘bootlegged’ brews developed specially for the venue and served straight from the barrel in true pirate style.”

De Vil’s Piano Lounge

Ah, yes… We couldn’t think of a more perfect Disney Villain to have their very own over-the-top lounge than Cruella De Vil herself. As you might anticipate, De Vil’s Piano Lounge will be a “lavish affair,” according to Disney. You’ll see aspects from the original animated One Hundred and One Dalmatians along with details from the 2021 film Cruella.

You can expect to see Cruella’s style and boldness shining bright within this new lounge which Disney has said will have a “Hollywood Regency-inspired aesthetic.” There will even be a Dalmatian-spotted piano to fill the air with sultry tunes. You’ll be able to enjoy trendy martinis, chic cocktails, and glamorous wines and bubbles.

The Sanctum

The Sanctum is Disney Cruise Line’s first lounge inspired by Doctor Strange and his mystical arts!

This space is centrally located and will “contain mystical items designed to aid sorcerers in protecting the world,” while also featuring entertainment, cocktails, coffees, and “unique surprises from Doctor Strange’s New York Sanctum, including a circular mirror behind the bar that evokes the building’s iconic window.”

Disney Destiny — Cafes and Sweet Shops

Café Megara

Look for Café Megara off the Grand Hall when you’re in need of a caffeinated pick-me-up or sweet treat.

Themed after Disney Animation’s Hercules, the spot will present what Disney has deemed a “Greco disco” design!

Café Merida

Café Merida is another walk-up cafe located just off the Grand Hall. This tribute to Brave‘s feisty heroine, Merida, will feature a “Celtic-centered” design.

Edna Á La Mode Sweets

Looking for something a little more for your sweet tooth, darling? Edna Á La Mode Sweets will be a specialty dessert shop and confectionery themed to the well-known fashion designer from Pixar’s The Incredibles.

We’ll continue to update this page with upcoming Disney eateries as they are announced, so stay tuned!
