The Beak and Barrel opens in Magic Kingdom on August 29th, 2025! We’ve been following the opening of this Pirates of the Caribbean-themed lounge since it was announced in 2024, and we can’t believe it’s almost time to check it out. Disney recently confirmed this new spot will be open during the park’s after-hours parties, and now we know when you can book your reservations!

Are you ready to head into a real-life pirate’s tavern?! Disney has previously confirmed that you will be able to dine at the new tavern during Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party and Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party. We know that reservations for the Beak and Barrel open on August 14th, 2025, for the lounge, but now we know when you can make reservations for the Christmas party too!

On the Disney World website, they confirmed that starting on September 3rd, 2025, Disney resort guests can begin making reservations for Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party! You can book reservations for up to 60 days in advance of your arrival, for the entire length of your stay. If you aren’t staying in a Disney resort, you can book your visit to the tavern during the party starting on September 8th, 2025.

Mickey’s Once Upon A Christmastime Parade

This year, Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party runs on select nights from Friday, November 7th to Sunday, December 21st, 2025. This is a special ticketed event that takes place in Magic Kingdom after the park closes for the day, and you can find special snacks, low wait times, and exclusive entertainment. PLUS, it snows on Main Street, so what else can you ask for?
