Hey there, E!
While I would imagine that
advance dining reservations for some popular dining spots are booked at 6:00 am 60-days out, I have a sneaking suspicion that our friend Stitch has been up to some mischief and you have encountered a technical glitch.
E, I recommend that you try to make your dining reservations both on your desktop computer as well as through your
My Disney Experience Mobile App. If that does not work, try logging out of your account then logging back in.
If you still are unable to make any reservations for your dates, keep checking back. People cancel their dining reservations all the time, and as someone cancels a reservation, you may be able to pick it up!
In fact, I have planned an entire Walt Disney World trip within a week. While I did not get to dine at
Cinderella’s Royal Table, we did get to enter The Beast's castle for a fabulous meal at
Be Our Guest Restaurant. Even if I have all of my dining reservations made, I like to check the My Disney Experience Mobile App at night after we get back from the parks, just to see if there are any reservations that want to change.
E, if you are still not able to get an advance dining reservation, please do not panic!
Dining Reservations are only required for sit-down meals. These meals can take quite a bit of time out of your day and there are plenty of counter service locations in all four of the parks. You will not go hungry, I promise!
Additionally, once you arrive at Walt Disney World Resort you can use your My Disney Experience Mobile App to get onto the
walk-up waitlist. If you are the spontaneous type, simply swing by the host stand of anything that looks good and ask if they have had any cancelations. While this strategy can not be guaranteed, you may get lucky!
E, do not forget to take advantage of the
Mobile Ordering feature on your My Disney Experience Mobile App. My family orders our food pretty early in the day so that we can get the arrival window that we like. Once we arrive at the restaurant, our food is freshly prepared. I take the little ones to go find a seat while my husband grabs the food. Not waiting in lines with hangry children really helps take some of the stress of our vacation.
I hope that this put your mind at ease, E!
Have a yummy time!
