    i didn't realize you needed a reservation to get into the restaurants at MK. And now that i know, everything seemed to be booked the entire time we are there! what can i do to get into the castle or be our guest restaurant?

    Hi Lauren, 

    Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel and thank you for asking us a question. I’m always blown away by how quickly some of the most popular restaurants at Walt Disney World Resort can get booked up!

    I’m so sorry that you weren’t able to find reservations at places such as Be Our Guest Restaurant or Cinderella’s Royal Table… but don’t give up! Plans change all the time, so keep checking to see whether another Guest has cancelled a dining reservation that you can snap up.

    My biggest and best tip for you, however, would be to check availability 24-48 hours before the day that you’d like to dine in a given Walt Disney World restaurant. That’s when LOTS of dining reservations get cancelled in order to avoid being charged a no-show fee pursuant to each individual restaurant’s cancellation policy. I’ve found from experience that reservations often start popping up a week beforehand, so that’s definitely when I would start checking availability more regularly. I’ve been able to find a table at Be Our Guest Restaurant the day before I wanted to dine there, so it’s definitely still possible for you to eat in the Beast’s Castle! 

    Good luck and please don’t hesitate to come back and see us if you have any other questions.

    Have a Magical Day, 
    Lynne
