Rose & Crown Dining Room to Close February 15, 2027
Published October 12, 2026
Live now: Rose & Crown Dining Room availability
Rose & Crown Dining Room, the table-service restaurant in the United Kingdom pavilion at EPCOT, will close on February 15, 2027 for a refurbishment running through early spring, according to reports published Monday, October 12, 2026. Rose & Crown Pub and Yorkshire County Fish Shop, both in the same pavilion, are reported to stay open and keep serving British food and drinks throughout the work.
As of Monday, October 12, 2026, this comes from press coverage of a Disney notice rather than a public announcement from Disney, and no reopening date has been attached to it.
The dining room has been part of the United Kingdom pavilion since EPCOT opened in 1982, which makes it one of the park’s original restaurants.
Disney has not said what the refurbishment actually covers — no scope, no details on the interior, and no word on whether the menu changes when it returns.
What we know
- Rose & Crown Dining Room (United Kingdom pavilion, EPCOT) — reportedly closes February 15, 2027 for refurbishment
- Reopening — reported as “early spring,” with no specific date given
- Rose & Crown Pub — reported to stay open during the closure, serving British food and beverages
- Yorkshire County Fish Shop — reported to stay open; it’s the pavilion’s counter-service spot for fish and chips
- Scope of work — not disclosed
What’s not confirmed
Disney has not confirmed a reopening date, only a window described as early spring. Disney has not described the work being done. And because the closure window has a soft end, a trip in late March or April 2027 could land on either side of it — nothing in the reporting pins that down.
What it means for your trip
If you’re visiting EPCOT between February 15, 2027 and early spring, treat Rose & Crown Dining Room as unavailable and plan a different table-service anchor for your World Showcase evening. The pavilion itself still works for a meal — the pub and Yorkshire County Fish Shop are both reported to stay open, and the fish shop is a solid walk-up option if you mainly wanted fish and chips.
The real planning wrinkle is the IllumiNations-adjacent habit of booking Rose & Crown for a lagoon-side dinner. Without it, the competitive World Showcase table-service slots on those nights get tighter, so book your replacement as early as you can — Advance Dining Reservations open 60 days before arrival at 6:00 AM Eastern in My Disney Experience.
If you already hold a reservation that falls inside the closure window, watch for a cancellation notice from Disney and have a backup in mind before you get that email rather than after.
For the reopening side of this: SupaPark’s dining Drop Watch can alert you the moment Rose & Crown Dining Room tables start appearing again, which matters when a long-closed restaurant comes back and early availability goes fast.
