Welcome to planDisney, Michael!
My family loves visiting
Walt Disney World, and one of our very favorite features of each trip is enjoying at least one fabulous Table Service meal each day of our stay. Great question!
For the most updated information regarding current practices and availability, take a look at
Dining: Know Before You Go. There, you'll also see a link to a page on your
Dining Reservation Window which, at the time of this writing, is up to 60 days in advance. For Guests staying at a
Walt Disney World Resort hotel, those reservations can be made for up to ten days during their stay.
Making
Advanced Dining Reservations is super-simple, too, so take a look at all of your options and find some new favorites that fit your touring plans. You can use one of the links above or look at Walt Disney World's homepage, then hover your mouse over the "Things to Do" tab near the top. Select "Make Reservations" and you'll find that list of all locations that accept Advanced Dining Reservations. You can narrow your search by park or resort, or even type the name of a restaurant into the search bar. Once on that restaurant's page, click the blue "Check Availability" button near the right side of the screen. Next, you'll be able to select a date, time, and number in your party to see if what you're looking for is available. If your plans are flexible, consider booking a late breakfast, early lunch, or early/late dinner as these may be more readily available.
To get to a restaurant that is inside a Theme Park, you'll need the Advanced Dining Reservation, a valid
Theme Park Ticket, and a park reservation in the
Disney Park Pass system. Keep track of all of your plans--and more--by using your
My Disney Experience account or, while on-the-go, the super-handy
My Disney Experience mobile app. Need to adjust your reservations? You can use both the website and the app to do so in a snap. You'll love it!
As you plan your upcoming visit to The Most Magical Place on Earth, Michael, be sure to send additional questions our way. We love to help!
