Report: Wolfgang Puck Express Closed at Disney Springs
Wolfgang Puck Express is permanently closed at Disney Springs Marketplace…
MyNews13’s ace theme park reporter Ashley Carter — “covering Disney World, Universal Orlando, and SeaWorld” — today tweeted that Wolfgang Puck Express shuttered permanently on October 1.
As others have mentioned, signage and the menus in front of the location had been removed days ago. Wolfgang Puck Express is still listed as "temporarily unavailable" on the Disney World website. pic.twitter.com/RgOoMhCoVS

“A representative with Wolfgang Puck says the location closed on October 1,” posted Carter, who is often first to find these facts. “As others have mentioned, signage and the menus in front of the location had been removed days ago.
“Wolfgang Puck Express is still listed as ‘temporarily unavailable’ on the Disney World website,” added Ashley.
Not The Main Story Today
Carter later posted to MyNews13.com:
The restaurant, which was located in the Marketplace area of Disney Springs, closed its doors on October 1, a representative with Wolf Puck Fine Dining Group confirmed with Spectrum News.
Wolfgang Puck Express, which closed in mid-March along with the rest of Disney World, had reopened this summer. But late last week, photos of the restaurant without its exterior sign and menus began circulating on social media.
But, just like many in the Disney business, Carter is, no doubt, also busy breaking down the news that just posted this afternoon:
Disney today announced that it is restructuring its media and entertainment divisions to focus on "developing and producing" content for its streaming platforms likes Disney+. Content creation will be managed by 3 groups–Studios, General Entertainment and Sports. pic.twitter.com/bnLrm5keak

However, the demise of the Wolfgang Puck Express restaurant seems surprising.
