Hi Tashina!
Thanks for visiting planDisney!
It sounds like you have a
dining reservation already, but you'd like to dine earlier than your reserved time. It's always a good idea to check in around 15 minutes early, but the restaurant may not be able to accommodate you earlier than your current time.
I would recommend trying to
modify the reservation to an earlier time. You can check to see if that's an option by visiting
"My Plans" and looking for a link to "Modify" the plan. You can then search for the time you want and see if anything is available. If you can't find a new dining time that works for you then keep checking back! People do change their plans so sometimes reservations open up, even as close as the day before your visit.
When we have a later dinner than usual we choose a favorite snack to keep us going until then. A fresh box of popcorn, a DOLE Whip, or a churro are some of our go-to options! You're also welcome to bring your own snacks into the park, so I usually pack some crackers, granola bars, grapes, carrots, and fruit snacks so we can keep everyone energized. Don't forget a
refillable water bottle to stay hydrated!
Have a fabulous time at the parks, Tashina! I hope you find some delicious meals and snacks to enjoy.
Keep moving forward!
Amanda
