Hi there! Welcome to planDisney, Beverly! We’re so glad you’re here!
I have to say; the incredible food is one of the things I look forward to most whenever I have an upcoming
Walt Disney World Resort vacation on the books. There are so many fantastic restaurants to enjoy throughout all four parks and the
Disney Resort Collection hotels. So, having your
Advanced Dining Reservations set is key to ensuring you can try out all the spots on your bucket list.
As a reminder, Advanced Dining Reservations can be made 60 days in advance through your My Disney Experience account. Plus, if you're staying at one of the many fabulous Disney Resort Collection hotels, you have the added benefit of being able to book Advanced Dining Reservations for the entire length of your stay (up to 10 days from your scheduled check-in.
Beverly, I’m sorry to hear you’re having some trouble grabbing a reservation at
Cinderella's Royal Table. Unfortunately, this is one of the most popular restaurants in all of Walt Disney World, so times get booked up in a matter of seconds. I know it’s a real bummer, but don’t lose hope! My first recommendation would be to keep checking your
My Disney Experience account in the days leading up to your visit. There is a fee for late cancellations, so many Guests do cancel their reservations as their plans change. So, from time to time, spots do open up. This is most common in the final few days before your trip, so I recommend logging in 2-3 times a day to check.
Alternatively, did you know that many dining locations throughout Walt Disney World have the
Mobile Dine Walk-Up feature where you'll be able to add your party to a stand-by list and be notified when your table is ready? While there is certainly no guarantee that the Mobile Dine Walk-Up availability feature will be available at Cinderella's Royal Table on any given day, it certainly never hurts to check! You can access this tool through your My Disney Experience account or by scanning the QR code at the host stand at the entrance to each restaurant.
I do hope this answer has been helpful to you! If you have any other questions as you wrap up the planning of your Walt Disney World Resort vacation, please stop back over to planDisney! We would love to help you make the absolute most of your vacation!
See you real soon!
