    I heard some, but not all, restaurants have reservations open up at 5:45am Eastern at the 60-day mark. Is there a list anywhere so I know which ones to check first?

    The early bird gets the worm, right Alexandra? Or, you know, a reservation at Disney’s most popular restaurants!

    The list you’ve inquired about may very well exist on one of the many Walt Disney World fan websites. A Google search may yield you the result you’re looking for. If it does, though, it would be an unofficial list and may be out of date. I can, however, offer a tip that may be even more helpful.

    My tried-and-true method for securing the reservations I most value during a Disney vacation is to prioritize the most popular restaurants first when my dining reservation window opens up. Those restaurants and lounges include: Be Our Guest Restaurant, Oga’s Cantina, Cinderella’s Royal Table and Le Cellier. If I were up at zero dark thirty trying to obtain reservations for an upcoming trip, I’d try those ones first. As the minutes roll by, you can refocus your efforts on some of the easier reservations to secure. 

    I’ve had excellent luck in scoring some of the most difficult dining spots by using this method. I bet you will, too. I’m sending extra pixie-dusted wishes for total success and dining reservation domination, Alexandra.
