Disney Sets November 4 Reopening for EPCOT’s Coral Reef Restaurant

Advance Dining Reservations are open for the November 4 return despite the restaurant’s refurbishment page still saying it is “expected to reopen later in 2026.”

Overview

  • The Coral Reef Restaurant will close for planned maintenance starting Tuesday, September 8, and Walt Disney World’s operating calendar now lists a November 4, 2026 reopening.
  • Advance Dining Reservations are available for November 4 on Disney’s website and My Disney Experience, giving guests booking access before the refurbishment page was updated.
  • When it reopens the restaurant will continue as a dinner-only venue with posted hours roughly 4:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., matching the schedule Disney put in place earlier this year.
  • The roughly eight-week closure overlaps much of the 2026 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival, which may require visitors to adjust dining plans and seek alternate table-service options.
  • Coral Reef is known for its floor-to-ceiling views into The Seas aquarium and Florida-coastal menu, and guests should watch Disney’s official pages for any schedule changes since refurbishment notices and the calendar have showed different levels of detail.
