Overview
- Disney’s My Disney Experience app lists lunch reservations through January 3, 2026, with only dinner times available beginning January 4.
- The Walt Disney World operating-hours page shows lunch through January 11 and dinner-only starting January 12, with posted hours around 4:00–9:00 p.m.
- Reservation searches show no availability for the entire month of December even though operating hours are still displayed for that period.
- Disney has not announced the change or provided a reason, leaving it unclear whether the listings reflect a permanent shift, a temporary adjustment, or a system error.
- Media note Coral Reef’s lower guest ratings and limited menu as context often cited for reduced midday demand, though Disney has not confirmed any rationale.
