EPCOT’s Coral Reef Ends Lunch, Shifts to Dinner-Only Service

No formal announcement accompanied the change, now reflected as dinner-only hours on Disney’s website.

Overview

  • The adjustment took effect earlier this week, with the Walt Disney World site removing the lunch period and listing reservations starting at 4 p.m. daily.
  • Posted hours currently show the restaurant operating for roughly five hours each day, typically from 4:00 to 9:00 p.m.
  • Disney has not issued an explanation or comment regarding the reduced schedule.
  • Reservations and operating hours are available to book through early March, indicating dinner service continues during that window.
  • Guests noticed lunch menu reductions beginning in November 2025, and outlets suggest lower midday demand as a likely factor, though the reason remains unconfirmed.
