Hiya Tatiany - welcome to
planDisney!
I'm so glad that you stopped by to ask us a question about dining at
EPCOT, my absolute favorite Theme Park! It looks like you're visiting soon, so there are a few different options I'd like to suggest to help make sure your crew's tummies are always full as you explore all that EPCOT has to offer.
Before talking about reservations, I want to make sure you know about an exciting alternative option for dining -
the wonderful Outdoor Kitchens at the
EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival! These small locations, located throughout the park, pack huge flavors and feature unique sips and bites from various cultures and culinary traditions. The portions are a bit smaller, making it easy to nibble your way through the entire festival instead of sitting down for a traditional table service meal. So, even if you don't find a dining reservation that meets your needs, you can always enjoy these exciting seasonal offerings!
In my experience, dining reservations do start to pop up again in the days before I need them. This usually occurs as other Guests change their plans once their vacations begin, making their previously made dining reservations available for others. I recommend checking online, or preferably in the
My Disney Experience Mobile App - you never know what exciting dining opportunity you might find!
Within the app, simply tap the plus icon in the bottom center of your screen and then tap
Check Dining Availability. Try different times and see what pops up! Several dining locations also offer
Mobile Dine Walk-Up Availability, essentially a wait-list for Guests without an advance dining reservation. Simply search for the dining location in the app, and tap the
Join Walk-Up List button if available. Some locations also offer a QR code you can scan near the host stand to join the list.
I hope these tips are helpful as you continue planning your vacation. It's coming up so soon!
Please let me know if there is anything else we can assist with.
