What We Know About the New Diamond Horseshoe Pop-Up
Rather than another traditional family-style meal, the new experience will offer guests a chance to relax inside The Diamond Horseshoe while ordering from a menu filled with shareable small plates, specialty non-alcoholic drinks, cocktails, wine and draft beer.
The menu leans heavily into flavors that fit The Diamond Horseshoe’s Old West setting, with options including barbecue burnt ends, sticky ribs, corn fritters, charcuterie and a variety of whiskey, tequila, rum and vodka cocktails.

What Happens to Jessie’s Roundup?
The new limited-time dining experience will replace the current Jessie’s Roundup offering at The Diamond Horseshoe beginning October 4.
Because Disney is describing the new experience as a limited-time offering, it remains to be seen what will eventually follow the pop-up at The Diamond Horseshoe.
Thanksgiving Dinner Isn’t Going Anywhere
Fans of one of Magic Kingdom’s most popular comfort-food meals don’t need to worry about the change at The Diamond Horseshoe.
The family-style Thanksgiving-inspired dinner will continue to be served next door at Liberty Tree Tavern.
That means guests will still be able to enjoy the traditional feast while The Diamond Horseshoe offers its new menu of small plates and specialty beverages.
