Hi Morgan! Welcome to planDisney!
What a fun trip you have ahead of you at the Walt Disney World Resort! I love September visits because of the
fall decorations in Magic Kingdom Park and events like the
EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival and
Disney After Hours Boo Bash taking place. There are so many special memories to be made!
When it comes to all
Table-Service restaurants at the Most Magical Place on Earth, reservations are highly recommended. Character Dining is very popular and you will need a reservation for spots like
Chef Mickey's. Some locations offer waitlists because of last-minute cancellations, but you will definitely want to make reservations if possible!
Since your trip is so close, it might be difficult to snag a reservation, but keep checking! When other Guests' plans change, a reservation might open up for you. It helps to be flexible with the time you want to dine so you have more options. I've been able to get reservations the day before thanks to a last-minute change for another Guest, so don't give up!
I hope you have the BEST vacation, Morgan! Please let us know if you have any other questions.
