Saddle up, partners! The Diamond Horseshoe Lounge officially opened today, October 4, at Magic Kingdom. It’s a brand new limited time pop-up that turns the classic Old West music hall in Liberty Square into a cozy lounge, serving western-style small plates and specialty cocktails.
The Diamond Horseshoe spent the summer as Jessie’s Roundup for Cool Kids’ Summer. Now it’s been transformed into a lounge built for sharing plates, sipping drinks, and taking a break from the busy park. Disney hasn’t announced an end date, but the lounge is planned as a limited time experience, so plan your visit soon.
The Menu
The menu leans into hearty frontier flavors, with small plates priced from about $12 to $22:
- Charcuterie with cured beef, candied bacon, smoked pork, cheeses, and pickles…$22.00
- Glazed Sticky Ribs with cowboy beans and jalapeño crisps…$16.00
- Queso Fundido with barbecue burnt ends and tortilla chips…$15.00
- Sweet Golden Corn Fritters with cilantro ranch and red chili honey…$12.00
- Chipotle Chicken Tostada with queso fresco, lime crema, and pickled cactus salsa…$14.00
- Mini Hot Dog Platter wrapped in pastry and served with queso…$12.00
Drinks
Cocktails run about $17 to $19 and come with fun frontier names:
- Whinnyin’ Whiskey Lemonade…$18.00
- Cactus Rose Margarita…$17.00
- High Plains Huckleberry…$19.00
- Rattler Rum Punch…$17.00
- Coal’d Fashioned…$19.00
- In Holiday Fashion, a seasonal holiday cocktail…$19.00
The lounge also serves Prosecco, Riesling, and Pinot Noir, along with beers including Samuel Adams, Yuengling, and Cigar City IPA. Draft beers are about $8.50 to $12.50.
For guests who don’t drink alcohol, or for younger cowpokes, there are four specialty drinks priced around $6.29 to $6.99: Orange Cream Soda, Caramel Root Beer with Sweet Cream, Enchanting Ember Lemonade, and Enchanted Grove Lime Splash.
How to Get a Table
You’ll want to plan ahead. Dining reservations opened September 29, and they went fast. Demand was so high that Disney used a virtual waiting room for its reservation system, and most October and November dates sold out by the next morning. Some openings have appeared for parties of three or four, and around Thanksgiving week.
The Diamond Horseshoe Lounge is also one of the smallest dining spaces in Magic Kingdom, so seats are limited. If you can’t get a reservation, keep checking for cancellations or try the walk-up list when you’re in the park. Walk-up options are expected to get easier in the coming months as the opening rush slows down. Park admission is required.
