We are planning on being in Disney the week of Feb. 6th 2011. We were wonding if we would need to make advanced dinner reservations for that time of year or would we be able to get reservations once we are there?

Hi, Karen! I tell everyone who asks, if there are restaurants that are on your list of must do dining experiences, you should really try to make an advanced dining reservation. There are some meals that are popular all the time - like Cinderella's Royal Table, Chef Mickey's, Le Cellier, and 'Ohana - and even during a time of year when you would think it wouldn't be busy, chances are good that you might not get a table at some of these locations. I know that it's very hard to plan too far in advance, but try to work your days around meals that you absolutely don't want to miss. If you are flexible with restaurant locations and dining times, there should be restaurants with availability when you arrive. Have a fantastic Walt Disney World vacation!
