EPCOT's Coral Reef Restaurant to Close for Refurbishment in September

Walt Disney World's EPCOT park has announced that its Coral Reef Restaurant will close on September 8, 2026, for a refurbishment. The restaurant was previously closed in January 2026 and reopened with a dinner-only schedule.

The closure is expected to last about eight weeks, and the restaurant will reopen on November 4, 2026. During this time, guests will be able to enjoy dinner from 4:00 p.m. onward daily.

Coral Reef Restaurant is known for its Florida Coastal Cuisine menu, which features ocean-fresh specialties and classic favorites crafted with Florida flair. The restaurant's biggest draw remains its setting, with panoramic windows looking directly into the massive saltwater habitat at the heart of The Seas pavilion.
