Hi Susan!
I'm glad to hear that you are planning on taking advantage of the incredible dining experiences at Walt Disney World Resort! One of my favorite parts of a trip to visit Mickey is the food, so I spend just as much time planning our culinary itinerary as I do planning our attraction itinerary. The table-service, quick-service and snack options throughout Walt Disney World Resort will make every one of your vacation meals memorable!
To enjoy dining reservations at restaurants located inside of theme parks, you will need both a
theme park ticket and a
theme park reservation for that park on the date of your meal. So, unfortunately, your dining reservation on its own won't be enough for you to enter the theme park. If you would like to visit a theme park in the morning and then enjoy dinner in a different theme park in the evening, then I recommend that you add the Park Hopper Option to your tickets. This option will allow you to visit additional Walt Disney World Resort theme parks during your day, beginning at 2:00 p.m., and it's the perfect way to visit your planned theme park in the morning and then enjoy a second theme park in the evening for your dinner reservations. With the Park Hopper Option, you will need a theme park reservation, in addition to your theme park ticket, for your first park, but you won't need reservations for the additional parks you visit that day. So as long as your tickets have the Park Hopper Option added to them, then your tickets will be sufficient to "hop" to a second theme park after 2:00 p.m.
Susan, be sure to take advantage of
Mobile Food & Beverage Ordering during your trip. It's my favorite way to enjoy quick-service dining when visiting the theme parks because we can avoid the dining queues! Come back to see us if you have any more questions as you continue planning. T-T-F-N, t at for now!
