A very merry unbirthday to you, Deborah!
I'm so glad you followed the White Rabbit through Wonderland and found your way to planDisney. We're all mad for Disney here, and it sounds like you might be too since you will be celebrating your actual birthday during
The World's Most Magical Celebration at
The Most Magical Place on Earth! Plus, you have the
EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival to look forward to as well. I bet you can't wait!
Deborah, I'm sorry to hear there were no reservations available at
Story Book Dining at Artist Point with Snow White for your special birthday meal. I mean, how magical would it be to celebrate your birthday with Snow White and friends? I know all too well the disappointment that comes when you are unable to snag the dining reservations you had your heart set on. I wish I could sprinkle some pixie dust and make your wish come true!
Follow Rapunzel's example and don't give up on your dream! Plans change constantly at Walt Disney World Resort, so there is a good chance availability might open up as time goes on. I suggest you set a daily alarm to go into your
My Disney Experience App around the same time every day to check dining availability. Be flexible with the timing of your reservation, and click on each time slot under "Search by Time" when checking. In cases such as this, for one of the most popular
Character Dining experiences on property, persistence is key.
Keep checking every day, even when you are already on your trip. If you are ultimately unsuccessful in your pursuit of booking a coveted dining reservation at Story Book Dining at Artist Point with Snow White, you can try utilizing the
Mobile Dine Walk-up Availability feature in your My Disney Experience App. This allows you to join the same-day walk-up list at select restaurants when you don't already have an advanced dining reservation. It's based on availability, but it's worth a shot. Go to "Check Dining Availability" in your app, input your party size, and select the current date. Under "Search by Time," you should see a time slot option that says "Now." If you click it, you will see restaurants on property with current walk-up availability for dining. Of course, you could also go to the restaurant and ask about availability in person if all else fails.
Deborah, I sincerely hope your wish upon a star comes true. Please stop back by
planDisney if you have further questions. We are always happy to help!
Keep painting the roses red,
Alyssa
