EPCOT's Popular Rose & Crown Set to Close for a Refurbishment
Rose & Crown is a "must" for many EPCOT Guests. A temporary closure is hitting the Rose & Crown soon-here is a breakdown of what's shuttering and what's staying open for your trip.
Rose & Crown
Whether you're a first time visitor or a frequent visitor to Disney World, EPCOT has so much to explore! The United Kingdom Pavilion is no exception with its fun shops, entertainment, and dining. Look for it located between the France and Canada Pavilions.
Here, you'll find Disney's Rose and Crown Dining Room and Pub. Most times, there is a check-in desk outside. Look for the matching stand adjacent to the beer stand shown above.
The Rose and Crown Dining Room includes so many charming and quirky British pub features. Everything from the "aged" wooden floors to the metal tiled ceiling give guests the feeling of traveling to the United Kingdom.
Rose and Crown Dining Room Closure
Disney just announed that the Rose & Crown Dining Room will close on February 17, 2027 for a refurbishment. While Disney has not revealed when Rose & Crown will reopen, a general "Early Spring" reopening timeline is listed on the Walt Disney World website.
The good news is that even during this refurbishment the Rose & Crown Pub and the Yorkshire County Fish Shop will remain open with a limited dining and beverage menu.
Rose & Crown Dining Packages
Along with traditional advance reservations and joining the walk-up wait list, there is another option in eating at the Rose and Crown Dining Room. It also participates in various dining packages.
First, for Disney's Festivals you can purchase a reserved seating and dinner package. Due to this refurbishment this will affect the following concerts: Disney on Broadway and Garden Rocks.

We used to love Rose and Crown, but when they reopened after Covid, they came back with a reduced menu due to staffing shortages in the kitchen. I'm assuming they're back to normal now, but the menu hasn't changed, with only four entree choices. I'm hoping that after the refurb, they'll update their menu.
As long as I can get a pint and a proper fish and chips, all will be fine.
