Live now: Rose & Crown Dining Room availability

Rose & Crown Dining Room, the table-service pub restaurant in the United Kingdom pavilion at EPCOT, will close for refurbishment on Monday, February 15, 2027, according to reports published Tuesday, October 6, 2026. The closure is expected to run into early spring, with no specific reopening date given.

As of Tuesday, October 6, 2026, the restaurant is operating normally, and the closure is a single-outlet report rather than an official Disney announcement.

The reporting indicates the refurbishment affects the sit-down Dining Room specifically. The adjacent Rose & Crown Pub is referenced separately in that coverage, but the details available do not spell out its operating status during the work.

What we know

Updated Wednesday, October 7 with new reporting.

What’s not confirmed

Disney has not publicly confirmed the closure, the February 15 start date, or the reopening window. Nothing has been stated about whether the Rose & Crown Pub side stays open, whether outdoor patio seating continues, or how the closure interacts with IllumiNations-style viewing from that waterfront spot. There is also no word on what the refurbishment includes — menu, decor, kitchen, or all three — or on what happens to reservations already on the books for mid-February onward.

What it means for your trip

If you’re traveling to EPCOT between mid-February and spring 2027, treat Rose & Crown as at-risk and have a backup picked out before your 60-day Advance Dining Reservation morning. Reservations open 60 days before arrival at 6:00 AM Eastern, and that window for a February 15 arrival falls in mid-December 2026 — so decide early rather than hoping for clarity later.

Already holding a Rose & Crown booking in that stretch? Don’t cancel on a single report. Disney typically cancels affected reservations itself and notifies guests when a closure is finalized; dropping a confirmed table now just hands it to someone else if the dates shift.

For a replacement in World Showcase, the nearest equivalents in feel and price are Spice Road Table in Morocco and Via Napoli or Tutto Italia in Italy — all easier to get than Le Cellier or Space 220, both of which stay hard regardless of what else closes. A closed table-service restaurant also pushes more demand onto the remaining World Showcase pavilions, so expect those to tighten slightly in that window.

If Rose & Crown is the one you want on the other side of the refurbishment, a dining Drop Watch in SupaPark will catch a cancellation the moment it frees up, so you can grab it in My Disney Experience.

When will Rose & Crown reopen?
