Coral Reef and Turf Club Reopenings Lead Fall Dining Updates
Published September 25, 2026
As of Friday, September 25, 2026, several dining locations across Walt Disney World and Disneyland are adjusting schedules, reopening, and adding seasonal offerings, according to reports. Coral Reef Restaurant at EPCOT and The Turf Club Bar and Grill at Saratoga Springs Resort will reopen by the end of September, while a new lounge menu is coming to Magic Kingdom.
At EPCOT, Coral Reef Restaurant will resume dinner service and its Eat to the Beat Concert Series dining packages on September 29, moving up its previously scheduled November return. At Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort, The Turf Club Bar and Grill will reopen on September 30 after a patio refurbishment, operating on a Wednesday-through-Sunday schedule.
In Magic Kingdom, The Diamond Horseshoe will debut a limited-time lounge menu featuring light bites and drinks to replace the summer’s Jessie’s Roundup offering. The new venue opens October 4, with reservations dropping on September 29. Additionally, the Visit Orlando Magical Dining promotion, which offers $40 and $60 meal specials at 11 Walt Disney World restaurants, will end on September 30.
At Disneyland Resort, holiday character dining is returning to the resort hotels. Goofy’s Kitchen at the Disneyland Hotel will host a holiday buffet across all meal periods, while Storytellers Café at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel will feature Daisy’s Pajama Party and Mickey’s Christmas Carol Feast.

- Set a Drop Watch for Magic Kingdom: Since The Diamond Horseshoe’s new menu reservations open at 8:00 PM ET on September 29, set a SupaPark dining Drop Watch if you miss the initial release, as cancellations for limited-time offerings are frequent.
- Check weekend availability at Saratoga Springs: The Turf Club is shifting to a Wednesday-through-Sunday schedule, so factor those closed days into your plans if you are staying at the resort early in the week.
