Overview
- Reservations opened Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET through the Walt Disney World app and website, which triggered a virtual queue and left opening‑day slots reported sold out.
- The Diamond Horseshoe will reopen October 4 as a frontier‑themed pop‑up lounge focused on small plates and specialty drinks rather than a full sit‑down meal.
- Disney published the full menu and prices — small plates roughly $12–$22 and cocktails $17–$19 — and confirmed walk‑ups will be accepted when the pop‑up opens.
- Operational notes released by Disney say the Dining Plan is not accepted and the lounge will be closed during Mickey’s Not‑So‑Scary Halloween Party, with no firm closing date announced for the limited run.
- The booking rush echoes demand for the Beak and Barrel lounge and shows how highly themed or short‑window dining offerings can strain Disney’s reservation system and push guests to book earlier or rely on walk‑up availability.
