Disney Springs plans show Edison restaurant details, more
A closer look at permits give an idea of what Disney Springs’ The Edison restaurant may look like.
The Disney permits show the layout of The Edison, scheduled to open in 2016, including the location of its rooms, such as the Tesla Lounge, the Patent Office, Telegraph Lounge and the Radio Room.
The theme of the restaurant is an industrial gothic-designed eatery, a concept from Patina Restaurant Group and Kinetescape’s Andrew Meieran, that will offer American food and cocktails with cabaret-style entertainment.
Next to the Edison is another venue that is rumored to be Walt’s, another restaurant themed after Walt Disney. The permits have fewer details for that area, except for one area called The Office.
Most interesting, the permit also shows an unknown underground area that sits just beneath the guest walkway area at Disney Springs. The area has multiple restrooms, but there’s no clear indication if that will be accessible by tourists.
However, several food bloggers have long-rumored that area to be something called Neverland Tunnel, an underground bar. The permit map shows a large area that seems to have multiple bars and an area that could be used for a lounge or dance floor.
The transformation of Downtown Disney into Disney Springs has brought on a slew of new venues for guests. Multiple new restaurants have come along, and the destination is working to continue to grow that offering and gain even more buzz for Orlando.
Last year, the Orlando area welcomed more than 62 million visitors — making us the top-visited destination in the world — who contributed more than $60 billion in economic impact for the region.
