2026 has been a BIG year for the Magic Kingdom’s Diamond Horseshoe! Earlier this year, the Cool KIDS’ Summer promotion brought live entertainment back to the venue for the first time in decades. Now, something NEW is coming to the space!

Reservations for the pop-up are currently available for booking! Of note, we recently spoke to a Cast Member at Liberty Tree Tavern who informed us that they had been trained for the new offering at The Diamond Horseshoe. According to them, there will be no drink minimum and no time limit inside this restaurant, unlike, say, The Beak and Barrel in Adventureland. This means guests will be able to enjoy this sure-to-be-popular new experience at their own pace.

Even if you can cross the Diamond Horseshoe off for one of the days of your trip, you’ll still need to know about Disney World’s other dining hotspots. Between the reviews, menus, and reservation strategies, it’s a lot to sort through. Our Guide to Disney World Dining pulls it all together so you can stop stressing and focus on the fun without feeling like you’re missing a thing!
