Hello, John. I see that your trip to the Most Magical Place on Earth is quickly approaching. I bet you are getting so excited!
John, you can make
advanced dining reservations online starting at 6:00 a.m. via your
MyDisneyExperience account or over the phone starting at 7:00 a.m. Mickey Mouse's time by calling 407-WDW-DINE. I can see we are within your 60 day reservation window so I am guessing you are having a hard time securing a reservation for a character meal. Reservations can be tricky right now because there aren't a lot of offerings for character meals right and there are a lot of people, like you and I, who want to experience them.
Here is a list of the
current character meals that are being offered:
- Topolino's Terrace - Flavor's of the Riviera at Disney's Riviera Resort
- Hollywood & Vine at Disney's Hollywood Studios
- Chef Mickey's at Disney's Contemporary Resort
- Tusker House at Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park
- Garden Grill Restaurant at Epcot
My best advice for securing a reservation at one of these restaurants is to be persistent. Keep checking back right when reservations open. People change plans and cancel trips and dining reservations all of the time. These changes are reflected in real-time and reservations do open up. It can be a hassle but keep trying! I think as we get even closer to your reservation date, we will start to see even more things open up. There is a charge for a no-show reservation at the Walt Disney World restaurants and I feel like most people cancel the week of to avoid the fee.
I know this isn't exactly what you were hoping for, John, but all we can do right now is keep trying. If you have any other questions, please feel free to stop back by and
ask me. I'm happy to help. I have my fingers crossed that some pixie dust will float your way and you'll be able to secure a reservation for one of the character meals for your vacation!
