For all the fellow Disney food lovers out there, this is a day in Magic Kingdom that may go down in history!
The Diamond Horseshoe Pop-Up
A NEW pop-up restaurant just opened in the park, and it’s something we haven’t seen before. The Diamond Horseshoe in Liberty Square has transformed from a regular restaurant to Jessie’s Roundup for Cool KIDS’ SUMMER, and now it’s a new pop-up spot, all in the past few months. The pop-up restaurant is now OPEN, and you know we had to be one of the first to check it out.
Reservations for this new cowboy-themed pop-up opened up on September 29th, but today, October 4th, the spot officially opened, and a walk-up waitlist is also available if you couldn’t snag a reservation for today, or didn’t realize it was opening so soon. We got to The Diamond Horseshoe about an hour early, around 9:30 AM (the restaurant has operating hours of 10:30 AM to 5 PM), and it was up in the air whether the restaurant would open in time. Scrims were still on the windows, and there wasn’t activity inside, but fortunately, closer to 10:30 AM, the restaurant did open!

We were thankfully able to get a table relatively easily, but that can easily change throughout the day depending on how busy it is. We absolutely think it’s worth it to check if there are reservations available by using the walk-up waitlist, because you truthfully never know!
We can’t wait to give it all a try!
The menu for this new spot is full of “frontier fare” and consists of items like Charcuterie, Queso Fundido with Barbecue Burnt Ends, Chipotle Chicken Tostada, Mini Hot Dog Platter, as well as drinks like Caramel Root Beer with Sweet Cream, Enchanting Ember Lemonade, Whinnyin’ Whiskey Lemonade, High Plains Huckleberry, and so many more. Keep in mind, though, that this spot is a fixed menu, not a full bar, due to Magic Kingdom still technically being a dry park, so the only drinks you’ll be able to order are the ones on the menu.

This limited-time offering is pretty unusual for Magic Kingdom, but we’re really big fans of Disney using spots they already have that maybe aren’t as popular to bring something new and exciting for guests. Prior to the Cool KIDS’ SUMMER retheme, The Diamond Horseshoe served up mostly the same fare that could be found just steps away at Liberty Tree Tavern. Even though the fare was the same, we often found that Liberty Tree Tavern was busier than The Diamond Horseshoe, but with this new experience, we’re expecting that to change big time.
