WDW has announced that Alfredo's Restaurant, a fixture at the Italy Pavilion in Epcot for over 20 years, is closing permanently at the end of July, 2007.

There WILL be a replacement Italian restaurant opened in the same location, but at this writing WDW is releasing no further details. They do anticipate some downtime between Alfredo's closing and the opening of the new restaurant. WDW does expect the new facility to participate in the Magic Your Way dining plan.

Guests who have already made reservations past the closing date will be contacted by WDW to provide assistance in making alternate arrangements.

Alfredo's operates another restaurant in New York City; there is no word whether they will open a new facility in the WDW area.
