Welcome to planDisney, Ed. I'm happy you brought your question here, and I'm sorry you've had some hiccups booking dining reservations. Dining bookings should certainly be available if you arrive in July 2023.
First, I recommend you log into your My Disney Experience App, that your Disney Resort hotel and Tickets are linked correctly, and that you are connected to your friends and family to make the booking. You will also need to have a
credit card registered to your account to make bookings. I find it easier to book in the desktop version of
My Disney Experience.
Please know that some dining experiences book out early, but if you can see availability, there is no reason you should not be able to book. If you have taken all the above steps and are still experiencing difficulties, please do not hesitate to
contact the Disney Experts, who can assist you in making reservations.
We have always enjoyed a truly magical experience with our little ones at
The Crystal Palace - the food is delicious, and the character interaction with Winnie and his friends is priceless.
Ed, I hope this information helps, and should you have any other questions, please let me know. Have a magical time at Walt Disney World, Louise.
