Hiya, Mallory.
Welcome back to planDisney! In less than two months, you’ll be at The Most Magical Place on Earth during
the most magical time of year. Your excitement must be bursting at the seams!
I’m sorry you weren’t able to book
dining reservations at some of the locations you had your heart set on. I’ve been in your shoes many times before, so I understand your disappointment. While it’s possible some reservations are being held back for
Candlelight Processional Dining Packages, the most likely scenario is that reservations are simply all booked up at this time. Don’t let that discourage you though. Guests change their plans all the time, so there’s a good chance availability could open up before your arrival. Keep checking back daily to see if any reservations pop up, and check for available Candlelight Processional Dining Packages once they open up for reservations on October 6th.
If all else fails, utilize the
Mobile Dine Walk-Up Availability feature in your
My Disney Experience mobile app on the days you’re at
EPCOT to check for any same-day availability on the walk-up lists at the restaurants you’re hoping to dine at. Simply search for dining reservations the way you normally would, but click “Now” under “Search by Time.”
Mallory, I hope this information proves useful. I’m sending some extra pixie dust your way in the hopes that everything works out in your favor. Have a wonderful trip!
Until next time,
Alyssa
