Hiya Karen,
Welcome back to planDisney! We are thrilled to know that you are thinking of being our Guest at a Walt Disney World Resort table service location. I personally love dining at Disney! My family and I set out to try a new table service location every visit and have had some of the best meals of our lives at Walt Disney World Resort.
Speaking of
Steakhouse 71, the lunch at this location is one of my favorites! The Salisbury Steak is absolutely incredible, and I could eat the Mushroom Gravy every day and never get tired of it. I completely understand why you would like to order some items from the lunch menu. In my experience, you are typically not able to order items off of the lunch menu during a dinner reservation at Steakhouse 71. However, I recommend asking your server before your order to double-check. If the chef is able to accommodate preparing an item off of the lunch menu, I’m sure that they will, but there is no guarantee.
If you really are more interested in the lunch menu than the dinner menu but have only been able to secure an advanced dining reservation for dinner, don’t give up yet. Continue to check back on the
My Disney Experience mobile app closer to your August visit, and you may find available lunch reservations. As Guests change their plans, they will cancel those reservations and open up new availability. We always find last-minute hard-to-find reservations this way. In fact, we ended up dining at Steakhouse 71 for lunch on our last visit because we found a last-minute reservation the day before.
I hope this answers your question, Karen, and helps you plan your dining for August. Whether you dine during dinner or lunch at Steakhouse 71, it is for sure going to be outstanding. Be sure to have a slice of the Steakhouse 71 Chocolate Cake! It is decadent and amazing! If you need any help with anything else or just want to talk more about dining recommendations, please come back and see us.
Happy Planning,
Ashley F.
