Securing dining reservations is already hard, especially at a very popular restaurant, and it’ll be even harder when a NEW restaurant opens next year!

Disney World is in the midst of making some MAJOR changes, including adding a few new lands, refurbishing attractions, and building a brand-new hotel! These lands also bring new dining experiences, and one of them is about to be EXTREMELY hard to come by.

Monstropolis, the Monsters, Inc.-themed land coming to Hollywood Studios, is slated to open sometime in 2027. With it comes a new quick-service restaurant, a new table-service restaurant, new shopping experiences, a new theater show, and Disney’s first-of-its-kind suspended rollercoaster, which will not open with the land and will open at a later date.

And while Advance Dining Reservations have not been confirmed for Harryhausen’s restaurant just yet, it’s very likely since this will be a table-service restaurant. THIS will be one of the hardest reservations to grab on your 2027 Disney World vacation.

Not only will it be one of the newest restaurants on property, but it will also be VERY highly themed with a delicious menu! At the 2026 D23 Ultimate Fan Event, Michael Hundgen, Vice President Creative, said that the menu will serve more than just sushi… it will be “unlike anything else we offer at Walt Disney World.”

There will also be some “live” entertainment while guests eat, as they’ll be able to watch the Chef in action! Disney revealed a sneak peek at the Sushi Chef Audio-Animatronic at D23, explaining that guests at the restaurant can watch as the chef’s tentacles whip up Monster-worthy creations.

An opening date has yet to be confirmed for the restaurant and this land as a whole, but we do know that it will be opening up sometime in 2027. As a reminder, guests can start making their reservations 60 days in advance, and if you’re staying at a Disney World hotel, you can book for up to 14 days at the 60-day mark! You can book reservations on the website or the My Disney Experience app.
