Overview
- Several headline changes take effect on September 8, 2026, when Cool KIDS’ SUMMER ends, Coral Reef Restaurant closes temporarily, and Typhoon Lagoon begins a seasonal shutdown.
- Jessie’s Roundup concludes with the summer event and Disney plans to repurpose the Diamond Horseshoe space for a new dining experience after the attraction ends.
- Typhoon Lagoon’s seasonal closure follows a final H2O Glow After Hours event on September 5, and Blizzard Beach will remain open so guests still have a water-park option.
- New offerings arrive later in September with The Magic of Disney Animation opening at Disney’s Hollywood Studios on September 14 and the Cheers to Cheese exhibit opening at EPCOT’s CommuniCore Hall on September 18.
- Disney has not given an exact reopening date for Coral Reef and has not confirmed whether Cool KIDS’ SUMMER will return in 2027, so travelers should check updated park and dining schedules before booking.
