The other day I posted the above picture and asked for guesses as to where it is located. There were some great guesses and some people got it right!
The painting is located on the building where Morimoto Asia is in Disney Springs. It’s painted on the side of the building that is across from the entrance of Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’. I noticed the painting while we were waiting for a table at Homecomin’ and thought it would be a fun picture for this feature.
The Forbidden Lounge is Morimoto Asia’s late night lounge area, which has its own entrance. Guests can hang out here and enjoy drinks and food a bit later than some other restaurants might be open. It’s perfect for guests looking for something to do later at night, since a lot of things a the resort hotels closer earlier. The Forbidden Lounge is one of several late night dining options in Disney Springs, so you can visit multiple spots and have a fun night out.
