Narcoossee’s at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort Temporarily Closing for Refurbishment

Narcoossee's

Narcoossee’s, the beloved waterfront restaurant nestled within Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, has recently announced an unexpected temporary closure for refurbishment. This news comes as a surprise to many, considering the restaurant had just reopened in April following an already lengthy refurbishment.

In an official statement, Narcoossee’s shared,

We recently introduced an enhanced interior and menu offerings at Narcoossee’s and will be making a few more equipment updates. Beginning September 17, 2023, Narcoossee’s will be unavailable. We expect to reopen by mid-October. During this time, we welcome Guests to consider other dining locations at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa—including the signature dining favorite, Cítricos.

With Narcoossee’s having just emerged from its previous refurbishment a few months ago, some are left wondering what could prompt the need for further enhancements so soon.

During this temporary closure, guests are invited to explore alternative dining options available at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. Among these options is Citricos, a signature dining favorite known for its casual sophistication and delectable menu offerings. The resort offers various dining experiences that cater to diverse tastes and preferences, ensuring that guests can still enjoy exceptional culinary experiences during their stay.


We had the opportunity to visit Narcoossee’s when it originally reopened in April and think it is a great option for your special occasion or just a great signature dining experience.
