Disney has an opening date for Coral Reef Restaurant in EPCOT. The restaurant will be closing soon for an extended refurbishment this month.
Coral Reef Restaurant Reopening
Walt Disney World previously announced that Coral Reef Restaurant would be closing for renovations on September 8, 2026, with the calendar completely blocked out. The restaurant previously stopped offering lunch service, becoming a dinner-only dining option.
Now, the calendar is showing that guests can make reservations for Coral Reef Restaurant beginning November 4, 2026. At reopening, Coral Reef Restaurant will not offer lunch, but you can make a reservation for dinner starting at 4:00 p.m.

Our last review of Coral Reef Restaurant was in 2024 as part of a Candlelight Processional Dining Package. Overall, we felt that the location has stepped up its game. We had a great meal with the always great view.
