I understand that character meals fill up. I see no way to search for availability over a range of days.I also see no way to put myself on a waiting list if a reservation opens.Am I missing something?

Hello there, Andrea! Currently, while making your Advanced Dining Reservations, you can only view availability one day and meal period at a time. If there is not currently any available tables for your upcoming trip, please check back periodically as others may change their plans and will from time to time cancel their existing reservations. This is especially true the closer you are to your vacation. If you stay a bit flexible and are willing to eat earlier or later than you usually do, there is an even greater chance of you securing your desired restaurant. There is not currently a waiting list for any Walt Disney World Resort restaurants. There are also some character dining experiences less popular than others, so be sure to check them all for an available time. Have a magical day, Andrea! ~Rachel

Hi, I’m Rachel! I am a “boy mom” to two rowdy little men at home and married to my high school sweetheart. I am fortunate enough that my prince charming loves all things Disney just as much as I do! For me, planning a trip to Walt Disney World can be just as magical as being there. It brings our family together as we dream, plan, and count down the days. I would be honored to help plan your visit and share in your family’s very own magic! Learn More About Rachel
