Disney to Close Magic Kingdom’s Diamond Horseshoe May 16 for Jessie’s Roundup Makeover

The move reflects Disney’s shift toward kid-focused indoor experiences during peak summer.

Overview

  • The Diamond Horseshoe, which closes Friday, May 16, will be rethemed as Jessie’s Roundup for the Cool KIDS’ SUMMER event running May 26 to September 8.
  • During that stretch the venue will not operate as a restaurant, with no table service, reservations, or full meals offered.
  • The new experience centers on Toy Story characters such as Woody and Jessie and invites kids to join crafts, dancing, and interactive games.
  • Removing a sit‑down spot in a park with few table‑service options is expected to tighten reservations and push more guests to remaining restaurants and quick‑service lines.
  • Disney has not announced plans after September 8, and outcomes could hinge on guest response to this seasonal conversion.
