Bright Suns Andrew,
Welcome to planDisney! Nothing is a more welcome sight to weary travelers than
Oga's Cantina. With exotic treats and concoctions, it is Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge's most popular (and exclusive hang out).
Getting a reservation can be tricky, but hopefully, I can give you some tips to help you and your party be added to the guest list. You can begin
booking reservations for Oga's Cantina (and all of the table service dining locations at Walt Disney World Resort) 60 days before your arrival. Since you plan to arrive in mid-July, your window to start making reservations is mid-May. Beginning at 5:45 am EST on the day your reservation window opens up, you can use either the
My Disney Experience mobile app or the
online reservation system to secure your reservation for Oga's Cantina. Everything may be big in Texas, but that does not extend to Oga's Cantina. Due to the size of Oga's, reservations tend to fill up quickly, so set your alarm and be ready as soon as your watch strikes 5:45 am. This will help increase your chances of getting a reservation for the time you want.
One last thing, Andrew; if you are staying at a Walt Disney World Resort Collection Hotel, make sure to link your reservation to your My Disney Experience account. Guests staying at a resort hotel can make reservations for their entire stay (up to 10 days) on the first day their reservation window opens up. If your itinerary is flexible, this will be a huge help in securing an Oga's Cantina reservation during your visit. If you are not a Guest of a resort hotel, don't worry (after all, it leads to the Dark Side)! If you can't get a reservation on the first try, you can always try back closer to your trip dates. As other Guests change their plans, more reservations are bound to open up.
May the Force Be With You, Andrew, and I wish you great fortune in securing your reservation at Oga's.
Happy Planning!
Ashley F.
