    If I have a dining reservation for 5:00, do I need to be at the location before 5:00?

    Hi Sharon,

    Thank you so much for visiting the Disney Parks Moms Panel with your question. There are so many great restaurants at Walt Disney World. I am glad that you are planning ahead to visit some of these locations!

    You do not need to arrive early for a Walt Disney World dining reservation. I tend to arrive a few minutes early or right on time; however, there is no need to get there too early. It is important to leave yourself plenty of time when traveling to dining locations, so do be sure to allow ample time for travel if you are heading to a different resort or theme park than the one you are at to enjoy your meal.

    I hope that this is helpful for you, Sharon! Have a great time planning your Walt Disney World vacation, and please do let us know if you have any further questions.
