Things are changing once again at The Diamond Horseshoe in Magic Kingdom! For the past couple of years, this former seasonal Counter Service location has instead offered All-You-Care-To-Enjoy, Family-Style service.
The Diamond Horseshoe
And starting this coming Wednesday, May 16th, this restaurant will transition once more by offering an a la carte menu in addition to All-You-Care-To-Enjoy options. Let’s take a look at the a la carte menu first!
Sandwiches will include the Carved Beef Brisket Sandwich with creamy coleslaw served on a brioche bun, a Creamy Turkey Salad Sandwich served on multigrain bread with lettuce and tomato, and a Grilled Chicken Thigh Sandwich with BBQ mayo, lettuce, tomato and onion served on a Kaiser roll.

Rix Sports Bar & Grill is currently accepting Advance Dining Reservations at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort for dates starting June 2, 2018. The space formerly known as Rix Lounge will start serving lunch and dinner, and Disney has posted the menu for the spot.
Rix Bar
As you might expect from the updated name of Rix Sports Bar & Grill, the menu appears to be sports-arena-concession-meets-pub-grub! Appetizers include Nachos, Lobster Sliders, and Wings.
We’ve seen Rose Gold Cupcakes. And Millennial Pink Cupcakes. But this new one at Epcot’s Sunshine Seasons may just take the… well, it takes the cupcake.

It’s the Belle’s Gown Cupcake!
