Officially opening today, the Paddlefish restaurant replaces what was Fulton’s in Disney Springs. The new elegant seafood establishment invited us to take a look inside last night during a special VIP event, so here’s a quick look at what guests will see when they enter the reimagined eatery:

The check-in area.

The dining room on the bottom floor near the paddlewheel.

The dining and bar area at the front of the ship’s 1st floor.

What I thought was most stunning was this area on the 1st floor, opened up with some fantastic large windows that offer unrivaled views.

The second floor isn’t bad either though…

Yes, we had to look in the bathroom (before anyone arrived, mind you). There are little tile paddlewheels on the ground!

Second floor dining at the front of the ship.

At sunset, the views were even better.

Up to the third floor, which has a rather large lounge area in the front and back.

There is a dining room on the third floor as well.

The patio on the 1st floor.

This is the dining room towards the back of floor 2.

I didn’t have a nicer camera with me sadly, but the nighttime views from the top were phenomenal, much better than the STK patio.

We will have a full food review of the for and drinks from Paddlefish coming during the week (we still need to try more of the menu this weekend, including the exciting-looking brunch menu). Until then…
