Overview
- Disney’s online dining calendar is now accepting reservations and showing operating hours for Yachtsman Steakhouse starting August 28, 2026, which multiple outlets interpret as the strongest indicator the restaurant will reopen then.
- The steakhouse closed for a multi‑month refurbishment on May 11, 2026, and Disney previously said the venue would return sometime in August.
- Disney has not released any details about what was changed during the work, so menu, design, and operational updates remain unconfirmed.
- Nearby Crew’s Cup Lounge finished its own refresh and reopened in May, and the Yacht Club’s dining lineup is close to being restored for late‑summer guests.
- The Yachtsman update is part of a larger Walt Disney World program of phased resort and restaurant projects that will continue through late 2026 and into 2027, so guests should monitor Disney channels for final confirmations and any schedule changes.
