Traveling 09/15 - 09/25 and have only booked 4 sit down meals. Will we be stuck with all quick service or can we show up and ask to be put on a wait list. We would like some flexibility as we are traveling with young children.

Question

Answer 1

Daryl,

You can try for a walk-in, but there are no guarantees. It's always a slim chance to find a last minute opening, and since you will be traveling during the free dining period it's really a long shot.

If there's any chance of getting seated, I suggest showing up at the restaurant as soon as they open. The earlier you are there, the better that chance that you may be able to be worked in. Also keep in mind some some restaurants are exceptionally popular, and there's virtually no chance of a last-minute opening. (Examples might include Le Cellier, Cinderella's Royal Table Breakfast, Princess Storybook Dining, etc)

I also suggest that you program the phone number of Disney Dining into your cell phone, so you can call frequently to check availability. You may find yourselves wasting a lot of time running back and forth to find a restaurant that has a last-minute availability. That number is (407) WDW-DINE.

Good luck!
