Stone and Current Opens to the Public at Orange Lake Resort

Holiday Inn Club Vacations has opened Stone & Current to the public at Orange Lake Resort in Kissimmee, adding a family-friendly steak and seafood restaurant in the River Island area on August 13, 2026.

If you want a prix-fixe dinner under Visit Orlando’s Magical Dining program, the restaurant joins that citywide promotion starting August 14 through September 30 at $40 per person before tax and gratuity.

What Holiday Inn Club Vacations confirmed

In an official August 13 PR Newswire release, Holiday Inn Club Vacations said Stone & Current is open to the public as a premium steak and seafood dining room at Orange Lake Resort. The company positions the restaurant as warm and approachable for families rather than as a hard-to-enter fine-dining room.

The menu description centers on fresh-cut steaks, seafood, curated wine, handcrafted cocktails, and signature desserts. Dinner service runs daily from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m., with reservations accepted. Weekend brunch runs Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The lounge stays open nightly until midnight.

Stone & Current is also making its first Magical Dining appearance. Visit Orlando’s Magical Dining, presented by Orlando Health, runs August 14 through September 30, 2026. Travelers can cross-check participating restaurants on the official Visit Orlando Magical Dining page when that list updates, then return to the Stone & Current reservation path for this specific room. The restaurant will offer a three-course prix-fixe dinner for $40 per person plus tax and gratuity during that window.

A portion of Magical Dining meal sales supports local nonprofits. For 2026, the program directs $1 from each $40 meal and $2 from each $60 meal to OCA, which supports people with autism and other developmental differences, plus additional Visit Orlando nonprofit partners. Our earlier Magical Dining program card covers the citywide list. This post is about the new restaurant’s public opening and its first-year participation.

Who this restaurant is actually for

Orange Lake sits on the Kissimmee side of the Walt Disney World corridor. Guests already staying on property can treat Stone & Current as an on-resort dinner option that does not require another hotel transfer. Locals and off-property visitors can use Magical Dining as a low-commitment first visit before deciding whether the regular menu fits a later trip.

Families who want steakhouse food without a downtown parking hunt may prefer this River Island setting. Guests who need a walkable Disney Springs or International Drive scene should not assume Orange Lake replaces those hubs. Drive time still matters on peak park nights.

For planning context around Kissimmee lodging and day trips, our Kissimmee RV parks and campgrounds guide is one nearby logistics page for travelers who stage outside hotel walls. It does not replace restaurant reservations, but it helps guests who are already choosing a Kissimmee base.

Thad Gregory, senior vice president of resort operations for Holiday Inn Club Vacations, said the restaurant was designed to feel premium while remaining comfortable for families, and that Magical Dining is a chance to introduce the room to Central Florida diners beyond club owners. Treat that as operator intent, not as independent reviews of food quality.

How to book and what remains open

Reservations are accepted for dinner. Magical Dining nights from August 14 through September 30 will fill faster than ordinary midweek seatings, so book early if the $40 three-course format is the only reason you are going. Outside Magical Dining, expect normal resort dinner pricing on steaks and seafood rather than assuming the $40 rate continues year round.

Confirm parking and gate access for non-registered guests when you reserve. Some resort restaurants allow outside diners with a reservation while still controlling vehicle access. Do not arrive assuming every Orange Lake gate is open to walk-up traffic.

Brunch on weekends is a separate decision from Magical Dining dinner. If your group cannot agree on a late steakhouse meal after a park day, the Saturday or Sunday brunch window may be the cleaner fit. The lounge until midnight supports a post-dinner drink for adults after kids return to the villa.

Orange Lake is a large multi-village resort, so walking directions matter. River Island is not the same as every other neighborhood on the property. Confirm whether your villa is in walking range or whether you need a short internal drive or shuttle step before you put small children in dress shoes for a 5 p.m. seating.

Guests who care about dietary filters should ask about gluten-free, vegetarian, and kids options when reserving. The public release describes steaks and seafood at a premium level, but it does not publish a full allergen matrix. Magical Dining three-course menus often narrow choices further, so request the current prix-fixe list before you promise a picky eater a specific dish.

If your trip is only one night in Kissimmee, weigh whether a resort steakhouse is better than a one-time Disney Springs reservation. Stone & Current wins on shorter transfers from Orange Lake villas. Disney Springs wins on walkable entertainment density after dinner. Pick the night based on transfer energy, not on the newest press release alone.

If you already hold Magical Dining plans at another Orlando restaurant, do not double-book on the same night without a cancellation plan. The program is citywide, and one $40 table does not require visiting every participating kitchen.

The clean decision is simple. Book Stone & Current if you want a new Kissimmee resort steakhouse now, and use Magical Dining dates if the $40 three-course format is the trigger. Do not treat the citywide Magical Dining list as proof that this room has unlimited empty tables on Saturday nights.
