Disney ditches Jessie for cocktails at Magic Kingdom
The Diamond Horseshoe will reopen Oct. 4 with shareable small plates, specialty drinks and cocktails after Jessie’s Roundup: A Rip-Roarin’ Revue concludes its limited Cool Kids’ Summer run at Magic Kingdom.
Disney previously teased a Wild West-inspired pop-up menu for the historic venue. The complete lineup now includes sticky ribs, corn fritters, queso fundido topped with barbecue burnt ends, a chipotle chicken tostada and five cocktails.
This pop-up comes after Disney executives pointed to “ToyStory 5” as a major attendance driver during the company’s earnings call; Magic Kingdom is heading in a very different direction.
Updated Aug. 31, 2026: Disney released the complete Diamond Horseshoe pop-up menu and confirmed its Oct. 4 opening date. This article has been updated with the newly announced food and beverage selections.
Diamond Horseshoe gets a new fall menu
Available this fall through the holiday season, The Diamond Horseshoe will serve a limited-time menu inspired by the Wild, Wild West.
It’s going to be a unique place to enjoy seasonal beverages inside Magic Kingdom.
A standout item is a drink mixed with Minute Maid Premium Lemonade, strawberry, and hot honey garnished with a chili-lime rim. (Non-alcoholic beverage).

Replacing Jessie’s Roundup
The new menu arrives this fall, a few weeks after Jessie’s Roundup: A Rip-Roarin’ Revue, part of Magic Kingdom’s Cool Kids’ Summer celebration.
The limited-time experience transformed The Diamond Horseshoe into a Toy Story-themed venue where Jessie, Bullseye, and Woody led interactive singing, dancing, and games.
The Toy Story experience will conclude as Disney shifts the restaurant to its new seasonal food-and-drink concept.
