Narrative:

Requested for local traffic from the ground control. After switching to the tower, changed my mind and requested departure to southwest, because passenger (my guests) asked me to show disneyworld. Because I knew this area and flew over many times, just checked again if we had any restriction on the map. It was none. At 2000 ft made couple circles over disney an came back to orl. After landing had been asked to contact to tsa and been told that I had violated restricted area, which became restricted 10 days ago. It was hard to know about it in the air and without restrictions on the map.
