Hi, Amanda!
Guests who want to enjoy a meal by making an
Advanced Dining Reservation located in one of the theme parks must have valid park admission for the day of that dining reservation. So the days that you have park tickets, you can enjoy a delicious dinner inside a theme park.
There are also some really awesome restaurants located at
Disney Springs,
Disney's Boardwalk, and at all of the Walt Disney World Resorts, that do not require a theme park ticket or a resort reservation. If you have an Advanced Dining Reservation at one of these locations, parking is complimentary while you enjoy your meal.
Also remember that if you decide to cancel a dining reservation, be sure to do so 24 hours in advance of that reservation. A fee will be charged to the credit card linked to your
My Disney Experience account if your reservation is missed.
Amanda, if you have more dining questions or need more planning tips, stop by and visit with the Disney Parks Moms Panel again soon!
Happy planning
Korliss
