Walls have been removed from the exterior of The Plaza Restaurant in Magic Kingdom, revealing refreshed paint, light fixtures, and more.

Plaza Restaurant Refurbishment

In June of this year, we reported that an exterior refurbishment had begun at The Plaza Restaurant in Magic Kingdom. Today, walls and scrim have been removed revealing the work that has taken place.

Previous Work on the Plaza Restaurant

Here is a look at what the Plaza Restaurant looked like on September 9, 2024. A section of the construction walls was removed on the far left side, but details in the flower boxes and more were still missing.

On September 12, the scrim was removed from the front facade, but the walls remained in place. Throughout this refurbishment, the restaurant has been open to guests.

Refurbishment Completed

Today, our reporter saw that the walls have been entirely removed. The building has gotten some TLC in the form of refreshed paint, lighting fixtures, and more. Nothing has been changed in the color scheme or design.

The front doors have always been accessible to guests throughout the refurbishment, so there was no real change there. You can see the refreshed paint on the column and base of the windows. The cream and grey paints are complimented by the deep maroon line that matches the front entrance.

The menu also features a maroon background. The signs have been refreshed with bright gold accents, and the light fixtures have been cleaned. The flower pot affixed to the wall has been refreshed with cream paint to better blend into the wall.

In the windows above the restaurant, there is an advertisement for FPC Academy, celebrating the achievements of Larry Slocum.

Slocum was an opening team Cast Member at Walt Disney World from 1971 until his retirement in 1998. Before opening Walt Disney World, he worked at Disneyland in California. Slocum passed on January 10, 2024, surrounded by family.

The edge of the restaurant just before Tomorrowland Terrace has also been refreshed with paint matching its previous design. Fresh fall flowers sit in the window boxes, and lighting fixtures have been cleaned.

The iconic directional sign on the bypass gate remains in place.
