Hi there, Mary Ann! Welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! Thanks so much for taking the time to reach back out and ask another wonderful Walt Disney World Resort vacation question!
Advanced dining reservations are a great way to guarantee you and your family will be able to experience a delicious meal at many popular
dining locations across the property! When visiting, I always make sure I have pre-planned my family's dining reservations so we can dine at popular spots such as
Be Our Guest Restaurant!
Another often overlooked tip is actually to make your advanced dining reservations at dining locations inside the park prior to official opening time! This allows you to enter the park before "rope drop" as well as eat a tasty meal! I also use this opportunity to snap some pictures of the fairly vacant theme parks. Since other Guests are not allowed inside the parks without reservations, you can often grab a quick picture in front of popular spots such as
Cinderella Castle!
So, you and your family should have no problem entering the park for your early morning dining reservations! Just be sure to have your cameras ready so you can capture all of the magical memories!
I hope you and your family have a wonderful vacation at Walt Disney World Resort!
