    Good Day, Just wondering if the Beak and Barrel is open during Magic Kingdom After Hours in 2026 and if you need reservations to go during the party when you have the After Hours Party tickets of course?

    Yo ho, yo ho, matey! Sounds like it's a pirate's life for you, Lyndsay. Ye be as welcome as red skies at night here at planDisney. Thanks for bringing your question about The Beak and Barrel to us. Allow me to get out my spyglass and map, so I can help you navigate to your treasure.

    I took a look at hours for The Beak and Barrel during some upcoming dates for Disney After Hours at Magic Kingdom and found that The Beak and Barrel closes the same time as the park does for regular day guests. This means it likely won't be open during the event. Shiver me timbers! However, no need for mutiny. Your event ticket allows admission beginning at 7 pm, and you'll be able to make a reservation between then and the time the park officially closes, pending availability, of course. In fact, for an upcoming after hours event, I found a reservation for 2 as late as 5 minutes prior to park close. Avast, your reservation will be for 45 minutes with a maximum of 2 drinks per Guest. So, drink up, me hearties, yo ho!

    While you arrrrrrr at The Beak and Barrel, you and your fellow buccaneers may be asked to batten down the hatches. Or Rummy the parrot may pay you a visit. Get your doubloons ready because you'll want to try some of the tasty provisions, too.

    During the after hours event, you'll enjoy lower than normal wait times, which will delight the swashbucklers in your group. And get ready to pillage and plunder for complimentary bounty including popcorn, ice cream novelties and bottled beverages like water and soda. Perhaps you'll want to continue the pirate theme as you get your sea legs on for Pirates of the Caribbean.

    Lyndsay, I hope you secure your reservation for The Beak and Barrel, so your crew doesn't make you walk the plank. Have a fantastic time at your after hours event, as well.  If you have any other planning questions, scurry back to us here at planDisney.

    Have a magical trip!
