I was trying to look up dining reservation times for our trip Sept 16-24. I was trying to get a dinner reservation at Chef Mickey's one of the nights (really wanted the 16th) and none of the nights were available. Do they save times for day of or closer?

Hi Caroline, Congratulations on booking your Walt Disney World vacation! Reservations are highly recommended at Disney's Restaurants and Chef Mickey's is a favorite with many Guests. I would suggest to keep calling 407-WDW-DINE or visiting online up to your departure date. You can also check during your vacation, too. Guests cancel their reservations all the time. Sometimes you can snag a table by walking up to the podium; however, you may have to wait an hour or more for a table. But keep trying - don't give up!! Have a magical day! Ca'Sandra
