The Edison

By Melissa — lives fifteen minutes from Walt Disney World and is in the parks most weeks

Who that is

Writer and presenter, Whistle While You Work

Melissa moved to Celebration, Florida, and stopped treating Disney as a once-a-year sprint. She is in the parks most weeks, films what she finds, and writes the pages here from that — plus the research it takes to check it. Her position, in her own words: Disney does not have to be perfect to be magical, and the goal was never to do everything.

The short answer

A 1920s power-plant-themed restaurant, bar and live-music venue at The Landing in Disney Springs, run by Patina Restaurant Group. Thirteen burgers and specialties average $29.92 on Disney's own menu in September 2026. Reviewers come for the room and the band more than the food. No same-day bookings.

Is it worth the money?

For the room and the band, yes. For the food alone, not especially. That is what reviewers say.

The live music is the draw. Disney by Mark, reviewing on 6 August 2026, found a band playing lounge covers roughly every 30 minutes. It wasn't too loud for conversation, and it was the best part of the evening. The food "isn't anything that has blown us away": a one-note cocktail, a pretzel short on dip, and a $25.50 burger that felt steep.

Book ahead — Disney says it takes no same-day bookings. There is a weekday happy hour, 3:00 to 6:00 PM Monday to Friday, per The Edison's own site.

Late nights are for adults. Undercover Tourist reported after the 2018 opening that The Edison becomes 21 and over after 10 PM. Neither Disney's page nor The Edison's own site states an age policy today. If you have children with you, go for lunch or an early dinner and check with the restaurant before planning a late one.

The kitchen closes before the bar. The Edison's own site lists dinner from 4:30 to 9:00 PM, with the venue open to 11:00 PM (11:30 PM on Fridays and Saturdays). Disney lists the whole day from 11:30 AM to 11:00 PM.

The 2027 dining plan is not confirmed. Disney's own listing tags The Edison for the 2026 table-service plan but not yet 2027, and Disney Food Blog's 2027 list agrees. Its Disney restaurant page links only to discounts, not dining plans.

Who it’s right for

Adults who want cocktails and live music with dinner. Anyone who wants to see one of the most elaborate rooms at Disney Springs. Groups celebrating something.

Who it’s wrong for

Anyone choosing on food alone. Families with children late in the evening. Anyone hoping to walk in the same day.

What is actually good

Read from Disney's own dinner menu for The Edison on 12 September 2026.

Thirteen burgers and specialties, $23 to $53, averaging $29.92. Four burgers average $23.88, from a $23 American cheeseburger and Impostor plant-based burger to the $25.50 Edison burger. Among the "patented specialties": tomato soup and grilled cheese at $23, a PB&J-style sandwich at $23, a churrasco at $25, and the high-voltage chicken sandwich at $24.50. Chicken and waffles is $33. St. Louis ribs are $36, blackened salmon $37, and short rib $39. A New York strip is $53. Four of the thirteen burgers and specialties cost more than $34.99.

Shares and nibbles, $12 to $19, from chili-lime cracklins at $12 to the "clothesline" candied bacon at $19. Deviled eggs are $15; the "angeled eggs", with an ounce of caviar, are $99.

Seven desserts, $12 to $16, including Mikey's bag of doughnuts at $16. Kids' meals are $17.

The bar: house cocktails $17 to $19, and two "high roller" cocktails at $36 and $38. Mocktails are $8.

Disney bands it $$, "$15 to $34.99 per adult". The average of $29.92 sits inside it.

Portions

Gastropub portions. Disney by Mark, August 2026, found the pretzel's dips too small for the pretzel.

Allergies and dietary needs

The Impostor burger is plant-based, and there is a tomato soup and grilled cheese and a salad with add-ons. Disney's listing prints no allergy-friendly versions; Patina is the operator, so ask the restaurant.
