EPCOT’s Coral Reef Restaurant Shifts to Dinner-Only in January 2026

The reservation calendar reflects a dinner-only shift that Disney has not yet confirmed.

Overview

  • Disney’s My Disney Experience shows lunch reservations through January 3, 2026, with only 4:00–9:00 p.m. dinner slots appearing from January 4 onward.
  • Other Disney pages list a different cutoff, indicating lunch through around January 11–12, creating uncertainty about the final day of midday service.
  • Disney has not issued an announcement explaining the change or stating whether the reduced hours are temporary or long term.
  • Outlets also noted wide swaths of December dates showing no availability, which could signal a system glitch or an unannounced scheduling adjustment.
  • Context from multiple sources cites Coral Reef’s relatively low guest ratings and limited appeal within EPCOT’s The Seas pavilion as possible factors, though the company has not provided a rationale.
