I am in need of help! We are traveling to WDW 10/4-10/7 and I cannot get reservations at any of the character dining locations, I waited so late to reserve as we weren't sure if we were going. It's a surprise for my 3 yr old and 8 yr. any tips???

Hi Maria, I can totally relate to your situation with trying to secure a dining reservation. Please keep trying - just don't give up. I would suggest that you continue to check online and by calling 407-WDW-DINE on a weekly or daily basis - even continue after you check-in at the resort. Guests are always canceling and changing around their dining reservations. If you have any flexibility with your times and days, then that should also help. If all fails, then you can always go to the Restaurant's podium and try to get a walk-up reservation. Please be prepared for them to say either yes or no they cannot accommodate your request. I will send pixie dust your way! Have a magical day! Ca'Sandra

Hi Maria,

I can totally relate to your situation with trying to secure a dining reservation. Please keep trying - just don't give up. I would suggest that you continue to check online and by calling 407-WDW-DINE on a weekly or daily basis - even continue after you check-in at the resort. Guests are always canceling and changing around their dining reservations. If you have any flexibility with your times and days, then that should also help.

If all fails, then you can always go to the Restaurant's podium and try to get a "walk-up" reservation. Please be prepared for them to say either yes or no they cannot accommodate your request. I will send pixie dust your way!

Have a magical day!
