Hi Emma!
Welcome to planDisney! As a fellow family of 5, I’m happy to help out!
While I have been able to snag reservations for a party of 5 at those restaurants in the past, it can be a little tougher! Ultimately, it comes down to availability, so while the restaurants might have 4-top tables available, the tables that seat 5 might be limited.
Here are a few things I’d recommend! First, you could consider playing around with your itinerary to move your
Magic Kingdom day back a little further if these restaurant options are a high priority for you. If you save it for once you’re staying on property, that Advanced Dining Reservation booking window will include your entire length of stay at the resort. So, the further out the reservation during that resort time, the easier it is to get a reservation.
Speaking of adjusting your itinerary, you could also consider a lunch or dinner reservation at
Cinderella's Royal Table or The Crystal Palace instead of breakfast. The nice thing about both of those character dining spots is that the characters are present at all meals throughout the day (not just at breakfast). And it’s usually easier to get a lunch or dinner reservation, especially at
The Crystal Palace. A bonus perk of having a lunch or dinner reservation is that the dining reservation will not interfere with your morning
Lightning Lane selections if you decide to purchase those!
If that’s not possible, you can always keep checking back here and there to see if any reservations open up prior to your trip. I especially like to check within the last week before my trip and even on my actual park day. People’s plans change all the time, so if someone cancels their reservation, it could open up a spot for you!
I hope that helps! And I hope that you can get that reservation! If you have any other questions as you continue to plan, feel free to come back and visit us.
