The Diamond Horseshoe has reopened at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom as a limited-time lounge with small plates, specialty cocktails, beer, wine and nonalcoholic drinks.
The venue, near Frontierland and technically within Liberty Square, reopened October 4. Disney expects the pop-up operation to run daily through the holiday season until early January 2027. It is not currently serving food or drinks during Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, though it is expected to operate during the upcoming Christmas parties.
The menu includes glazed sticky ribs with root beer sauce, cowboy beans and jalapeño crisps for $16; queso fundido with barbecue burnt ends for $15; and sweet golden corn fritters with red chile honey for $12. A charcuterie assortment is also among the savory options.
Alcoholic drinks include six pre-batched specialty cocktails, along with wine and draft beer. The Cactus Rose Margarita is $17, while the Coal’d Fashioned, made with Buffalo Trace bourbon and cold brew coffee liqueur, is $19. Nonalcoholic choices include mocktails and a $6.99 caramel root beer with sweet cream.
The Diamond Horseshoe is one of the few Magic Kingdom locations where guests can order alcohol without pairing it with a sit-down meal, joining Beak & Barrel. Disney’s online menu lists allergy-friendly appetizer options; guests with specific allergy needs are advised to speak with a cast member.
Planning Your Trip
Undercover Tourist is an authorized seller of Walt Disney World tickets, often at a discount off gate price.
Reservations can be made through the Disney app, and a walk-up waitlist is also available. During Attractions Magazine’s visit, only the lower level was open, with tables on the main floor and standing room at the bar. Posted hours were 10:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The building opened with Magic Kingdom and was modeled after Disneyland’s Golden Horseshoe. It previously hosted a Western-style revue and later operated intermittently as seasonal overflow dining and for short-term character experiences. The lounge retains its stage, where an antique Wurlitzer player piano provides occasional music.
