Any news on Jaleo opening in Disney Springs?

[Candycane83]

No, just March. However, on their website, I was able to book a dinner for 12 people on March 09. It was a little weird though and I don't actually think I reserved anything at all. It was on their corporate site, (not sure how I got there), and it allowed me to reserve a "corporate" party. Well not actually reserve, but in effect, make a request for someone to get back to me. We'll see.

Thanks for the info!! Looks really close now!

I looked at this this morning too after I saw this! Lol! Still waiting.... hoping we get some news soon! It’s almost spring!

Bumping... was hoping it would open already! Lol! Wishful thinking.

I saw what appeared to be staff coming and going about 2 or 3 nights ago. To me, it looks like it's ready to open any day.

I love Spanish food but not sure how a tapas dominated menu will work esp with DDP. I know it didn't work for Spice Road Table in Epcot but that was Med-inspired food choices and in park without the drop in traffic of Dis Springs. Hoping it will be an interesting mix with some tapas that will be easy on the wallet plus a few solid entree plates for DDP and others who want a full meal. I've been checking out the menu for the newish Wolfgang Puck restaurant and they seem to be walking the line between the two extremes. All the new eateries at Dis Springs are a huge & positive plus.

I’m kind of hoping they would be on ddp but might be better off ddp...

Well Winter 2019 doesn't end until the 20th sooooo they met that deadline, LOL.
Already set my phone notification for the 17th.

I can't say anything about if the restaurants will be a part of the DDP or not but having eaten at some of his restaurants in DC area I'm looking forward to trying the food at DS.

The preliminary menu posted on DFB and other sites looks very similar to the Las Vegas Jaleo (ie, higher prices than the DC/VA locations). The VAST menu looks fantastic; just be prepared for an expensive experience ($13 for soup, tapas mostly $12-$24, large plates $46-$83, two tasting menus $85/$120). Definitely "signature" pricing. However, paella is reasonably priced at $29-$37 (serves 2). Based on his other restaurants, this should be one of the best in WDW.

It's not set up at opentable yet. According to one of the articles:

"OpenTable reservations will be available on March 17."
