Disney Village is continuing its transformation, and the Sports Bar & Lounge will reopen its doors on November 22, 2025.
After several months of refurbishment, the venue will offer a brand-new experience, including an expanded dining area with additional seating replacing the old New York Style Sandwich quick-service restaurant, a redesigned, plant-filled terrace, a fresh contemporary interior, and a reimagined food and beverage menu. Coca-Cola will also become the bar’s new sponsor.
The updated Sports Bar & Lounge now features a fresh and welcoming sports-inspired design with themed decor, sports memorabilia, and plenty of screens showing live events.
Outside, you’ll also notice new character artwork, including Goofy from How to Play Football and Baymax from Big Hero 6: The Series. A new Sports Bar & Lounge sign has also been installed recently.
A Fresh Menu for Every Moment of the Day
The menu has been completely revamped as part of this transformation. Guests can now enjoy a wide range of dishes from breakfast through dinner, including gourmet snacks, plated dishes, and XL-sized creations designed for sharing. The new breakfast options will be especially welcome with Annette’s Diner set to close for a major refurbishment in early 2026.
The dining offer is enhanced with cleverly themed dishes inspired by different sports, adding a fun and immersive touch. Drinks include a wide selection of craft beers and ciders on tap, exclusive alcoholic and non-alcoholic cocktails, and beverages perfect for sharing with friends or family.
Pelé Soccer Store coming near Sports Bar & Lounge
A Pelé Soccer store will also open nearby in the future, the brand’s first location in Europe. Already found at Disney Springs in Florida and Downtown Disney in California, the shop will offer exclusive football jerseys, accessories, and vintage-inspired merchandise. No opening date has been announced yet, but construction is expected to begin soon.
The location of the new shop previously served as a video-game arcade and was more recently used as the temporary LEGO Store during its big make-over earlier this year.
Closure of the Disney Store & Renovation Annette’s Diner
The reopening of the Sports Bar & Lounge and the arrival of Pelé Soccer mark another exciting step in the major transformation of Disney Village. The district continues to evolve into a more modern and cohesive destination, with new shopping and dining options on the way. In early 2026, the Disney Store will close to become Disney Wonders, and Annette’s Diner will close for a long-term renovation.
