Overview
- Disney will begin taking reservations for The Diamond Horseshoe at 8 p.m. ET on September 29 and plans to resume service on October 4, giving guests a short window to book before the restaurant reopens.
- The restored venue abandons its prior full table-service model in favor of a menu built around small plates and shareable dishes such as charcuterie, glazed sticky ribs, queso fundido with barbecue burnt ends, corn fritters, chipotle chicken tostada, and a mini hot dog platter.
- The relaunch emphasizes beverages, with four specialty nonalcoholic drinks and six cocktails on the announced list, including a Cactus Rose Margarita and a Coal’d Fashioned, plus seasonal cocktails, wine, and draft beer.
- Walk-up seating will be available when the restaurant reopens, but Disney recommends securing reservations because early availability may be limited during the venue’s initial days back in operation.
- The change follows the May 16 pause in regular table service and a temporary Toy Story Jessie’s Roundup overlay that ran May 26–September 8, illustrating Disney’s flexible use of park dining spaces while nearby Liberty Tree Tavern continues to offer full meals.
