    We will be at Disney World for the first time from Oct 2-9 and have the deluxe dining plan. I've made numerous dining reservations. Can we show up early for a reservation? If we're stuck somewhere, how long will they hold it? thanks -

    Hi Lauren,

    You need to always arrive at least 15 minutes early for all Advanced Dining Reservations. If you choose to show up earlier than that, there is no guarantee that they will be able to seat you ahead of time, but you can try if you'd like.

    In response to your other question, reservations are held for 15 minutes beyond your scheduled time. After that, they will release the reservation for walk-up Guests who are hoping to be seated. You'll want to plan your day accordingly to arrive on time.

    Hope this helps and have a wonderful vacation,
