Disney4me Posted May 4 Report Posted May 4 You may be tired of hearing the words “major changes,” “closures,” and “Disney World” all in the same sentence, but we’re here, yet again, to warn you that in just ONE week, a massive change is going to take place in Magic Kingdom that you need to know about! The Diamond Horseshoe Disney World’s Cool KIDS’ SUMMER event is set to begin on May 26th and run through September 8th, and as part of the event, numerous additions are coming to the four theme parks. Over in Magic Kingdom, there’s one restaurant that’s about to close to make room for a summer experience, which means this will be your last week to dine here for quite some time! Many people walk straight by The Diamond Horseshoe in Magic Kingdom’s Liberty Square section. If people are craving the Thanksgiving-type meal all year, they usually head straight to Liberty Tree Tavern. That restaurant is delicious, don’t get us wrong, but The Diamond Horseshoe has the EXACT same menu, but often has way more reservations available. The Diamond Horseshoe The ambiance of the restaurant is intended to bring diners back to the Wild West saloons of days past, where cowboys would gather for a good, hearty meal, as well as some entertainment. Despite not being talked about often, it has very rarely let us down, and remains a hidden gem in the park. Diamond Horseshoe However, beginning next week, on May 16th, it’ll be closing to make way for a new experience arriving for Cool KIDS’ SUMMER. Jessie’s Roundup will feature beloved Toy Story characters like Woody, Jessie, and other friends as they encourage guests to participate in some “energetic fun.” Woody and Jessie! Now, this new experience will NOT involve eating, so the entire restaurant portion of this will be going away for the summer. Instead, you’ll be able to participate in crafts, dancing, and maybe even some yodeling from May 26th through September 8th. Disney hasn’t announced too many details about this new experience, despite being less than a month away from opening, but we’re still keeping our eyes out for the latest news to let you know more as soon as we hear it. While it hasn’t been confirmed, our assumption is that the restaurant will return to its full dining experience a few weeks after September 8th. More Recent Cool KIDS' SUMMER News!
