Two New Restaurants Confirmed for Disney Springs in 2015

By Robert Niles: As Scott Joseph reported last April, Disney confirmed today that chef Masaharu Morimoto will open a restaurant at Disney Springs next summer. From Disney's press release: "Morimoto Asia will be the Japanese master chef's first-ever pan-Asian restaurant featuring flavors from across the continent. This Disney Springs dining destination will include unique exhibition kitchens showcasing traditions like Peking duck carving, and dim sum." The restaurant will be located in The Landing section of Disney Springs, on the site of the old Pleasure Island.

Also opening in The Landing next year will be The Boathouse, a waterfront restaurant serving steaks and seafood. The restaurant is being developed by Schussler Creative, which also developed the Rainforest Cafe, T-Rex, and Yak & Yeti at Disney World. The unique feature here will be "guided tours aboard the Captain’s piloted 40-foot Italian Water Taxi with champagne and chocolate-covered strawberries and guided Amphicar rides that launch from land, enter the water, and take guests on a 20-minute tour of the landmarks of Disney Springs." The Boathouse is scheduled to open in the spring of 2015, before Morimoto Asia.
