According to Disney, the restaurant is expected to reopen later in 2026, although an exact reopening date has not yet been announced. Earlier this year, Coral Reef Restaurant also shifted to serving dinner only, with lunch service no longer being offered.
Located inside The Seas with Nemo & Friends pavilion, Coral Reef Restaurant is famous for its massive panoramic windows overlooking one of the world’s largest man-made marine habitats. Guests can enjoy dinner while watching sea turtles, sharks, rays, and thousands of colorful fish swim by, making it one of the most relaxing dining experiences at Walt Disney World.

The refurbishment comes as EPCOT continues to see updates across the park. If Coral Reef has been on your must-do dining list, you’ll want to make plans before September 8. Hopefully the underwater favorite returns later this year looking even better while keeping the incredible aquarium views that have made it a fan favorite for decades.
