Well, this one hurts a little.
Olivia’s Café at Disney’s Old Key West Resort is ending its popular brunch service this fall.
Disney has confirmed that brunch will continue through October 5, 2026. Starting October 6, Olivia’s will return to separate breakfast, lunch and dinner service.
So if Olivia’s brunch is on your Disney World must-do list, you’ve got a little time left.
Olivia’s Brunch Is Ending October 5
For now, Olivia’s continues serving its current brunch menu daily from 7:30 a.m. until 2 p.m.
That means guests still have several weeks to enjoy the restaurant’s current brunch setup before the change takes effect.
But beginning October 6, that all-day brunch service will be gone.
Instead, Olivia’s Café will return to three separate meal periods: breakfast, lunch and dinner.
What Happens to Olivia’s After October 5?
Olivia’s isn’t closing.
That’s an important distinction.
The restaurant will continue operating at Disney’s Old Key West Resort, but the dining schedule and meal structure will change.
Guests will once again be able to visit Olivia’s for separate breakfast, lunch and dinner service rather than having brunch bridge the morning and afternoon.
Why This Matters for Disney World Guests
At first glance, ending brunch might not sound like a huge deal.
But Olivia’s has become a popular option for guests who like the flexibility of a later breakfast or early lunch.
There’s something pretty appealing about being able to stroll into a Disney Resort restaurant late in the morning without having to decide whether you’re technically eating breakfast or lunch.
Brunch solves that problem.
And now it’s going away.
You Still Have Time to Get Your Olivia’s Brunch Fix
If you were already planning to visit Old Key West, you don’t need to panic.
Olivia’s will continue serving brunch through October 5.
That gives guests visiting in late August, September and the first few days of October an opportunity to experience the current brunch service before the change.
And if you’re the kind of Disney guest who plans meals six months in advance, this is one of those little changes you’ll want to know about before making that reservation.
Old Key West Is Getting a Different Dining Schedule
Starting October 6, Olivia’s Café will serve breakfast, lunch and dinner.
That’s actually a return to a more traditional restaurant schedule for the resort.
Instead of one long brunch period covering much of the morning and early afternoon, guests will have distinct meal periods.
Whether you prefer that arrangement is probably going to depend on how you use Olivia’s.
If you loved being able to wander in for brunch at almost any point before 2 p.m., you may not be thrilled.
If you prefer having a dedicated lunch menu and a more traditional breakfast schedule, you may actually like the change.
I’m Going to Miss the Brunch Era
I’ll admit it.
There’s something wonderfully vacation-y about brunch at Disney World.
You don’t have to get up at the crack of dawn.
You don’t have to rush through breakfast.
You can sleep in a little, wander around the resort and then casually decide that it’s time for pancakes, eggs or whatever else sounds good.
That’s a pretty good Disney morning.
And Olivia’s has been one of the places where you could do exactly that.
Mark October 5 on the Calendar
For now, nothing changes.
Olivia’s Café continues serving brunch daily through October 5, 2026.
Beginning October 6, the restaurant will serve breakfast, lunch and dinner instead.
So if Olivia’s brunch has been sitting on your Disney World dining wish list, you still have time.
And if you’ve been meaning to try it?
This might be your sign.
Go get the brunch while you still can.
