Construction Walls Up at the Plaza Restaurant in Magic Kingdom—But Don’t Fret, It’s Still Open!
If you’re strolling down Main Street, U.S.A. at Magic Kingdom and notice something… different near The Plaza Restaurant, you’re not imagining things! Construction walls have popped up around the beloved dining spot, adding a bit of an unexpected green touch to the area.
These temporary walls, standing about eight feet tall, are primarily located on the left side of the restaurant near the entrance to Tomorrowland Terrace. Behind them, scaffolding and brown scrim extend above the Plaza’s roofline, wrapping all the way around to where the building facade joins neighboring structures. If this feels like déjà vu, you’re not wrong! The Plaza Restaurant recently underwent a refurbishment in 2024, with fresh paint, cleaned lighting fixtures, and even a spruced-up menu box. Now, it looks like a bit more TLC is underway—though Disney has yet to officially comment on the scope of this current work.

But here’s the good news: The Plaza Restaurant is still open! A pathway remains accessible between the construction walls, though it’s noticeably darker than usual thanks to the brown scrim overhead. So, while you might feel like you’re stepping through a secret tunnel to get to your meal, rest assured that all the delicious sandwiches, burgers, and sundaes are waiting for you on the other side.
Speaking of food, The Plaza is known for serving up casual yet delightful dishes in a charming, turn-of-the-century atmosphere. Whether you’re digging into a Crispy Chicken Sandwich, a Triple Decker Turkey Club, or the indulgent Pot Roast Stack, there’s something for everyone. And let’s not forget dessert—because a visit to The Plaza wouldn’t be complete without a classic brownie sundae or banana split straight from the soda fountain!

While the construction may slightly impact the ambiance, the experience inside remains just as magical. So if you’re visiting soon, don’t let the green walls deter you—The Plaza Restaurant is still open and serving up all its delicious offerings (even if you have to take a bit of a scenic route to get there).
What do you think the construction might be for? More enhancements? A hidden Mickey installation? A secret portal to another dimension? Okay, maybe not that last one—but let us know your best guesses in the comments!
