New Technical Error Forces Disney To Cancel Beak and Barrel Reservations
Disney has reportedly had to cancel roughly 50 reservations for the popular new Magic Kingdom bar, Beak and Barrel, after guests were affected by what the company is calling a “technical error” on its website.
The bar, which has drawn significant attention since its announcement, has faced several online hiccups since its launch. Disney even had to reschedule the initial date for reservations after a complete website crash overwhelmed the booking system.
More Issues Plague New Magic Kingdom Restaurant
One guest shared their experience on X, explaining the issue:
“So it appears that the reservation I made for Beak and Barrel this morning for Friday at 7pm was due to a ‘technical error’. The guest services team called me said about 50 reservations were made and had to be changed. Luckily I was able to grab one for 4:35pm and not get shut out completely. So now I’ll just show up to MK earlier than anticipated but not have to take up any time during the Halloween Party. Got lucky on that one.”
While the glitch caused some disruption for early guests hoping to secure a spot at the highly anticipated bar, Disney’s guest services team was reportedly proactive in reaching out and helping affected guests rebook their reservations. Still, this is disappointing for guests who spend hours of their lives waiting for the reservation queue. For many, this is just a further example of Disney’s websites not being prepared for the massive amount of fans.

A Hot-Ticket Item
Beak and Barrel, located in Magic Kingdom, has become a hot ticket for visitors seeking unique drinks and themed experiences within the park. Despite the website issues, the bar’s launch has remained a highly anticipated addition for Disney fans, particularly during seasonal events like Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party.
Disney has not provided further details on what caused the website error, but guests are encouraged to double-check their reservations and reach out to guest services if they encounter any problems.
