Overview

• Disney’s My Disney Experience page now advises that reservations for Beak & Barrel will open the week of August 18, 2025, without a specified date or time.
• A pre-dawn systems failure around 6 a.m. ET briefly took the dining reservation platform offline, restoring access to other restaurants later but leaving the new lounge unavailable.
• No confirmed bookings emerged from Thursday’s attempted rollout, and guests voiced frustration on social media after early-morning error messages.
• Set to debut August 29 in Adventureland, Beak & Barrel will be Magic Kingdom’s first full-service lounge serving themed small plates, specialty beverages and a timed 45-minute pirate tavern experience.
• Disney confirmed the August 29 opening date remains on track and encouraged guests to monitor updates for the rescheduled reservation launch.
