Hello Leanne,
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel where it's always extra nice for me to assist another lovely family from the United Kingdom with their jolly holiday plans to visit the magic of Walt Disney World Resort.
I must say that I do enjoy visiting
Be Our Guest Restaurant within the Beast's Castle in the Magic Kingdom Park and can totally both sympathise and relate to trying to make Advanced Dining Reservations there as it can be quite a monstrous task!
It certainly sounds like you're already doing all the right things by trying to make reservations via
My Disney Experience and my top tip would be to keep on trying just that. Another hint is to simply persevere by checking frequently, right up until the day you wish to dine; after all many Guests change their dining plans at the last minute and you never just know when a little Disney magic is going to happen and a spot will open up just for you.
Whilst I don't have any fail-proof tactics another nugget of info is that Guests staying in a Walt Disney World Resort hotel may make Advanced Dining Reservations for up to 10 days into their trip; this perhaps gives a small advantage in snagging that all important dining reservation!
July and this whole
Summer at Walt Disney World Resort is all set to be extra incredible with the planned opening of
Toy Story Land at Disney's Hollywood Studios! I know that I'm especially looking forward to experiencing
Slinky Dog Dash - opening Summer 2018! Have a great Disney day.
