Hi Janet,
It's always a pleasure to see you at planDisney. I'm Happy as the dwarf to hear your
Walt Disney World Resort vacation countdown has reached an important countdown milestone - Disney dining day! Not being able to secure a preferred advanced dining reservation despite your best efforts is enough to make anyone Grumpy, but there's still time to make your dream of dining with Snow White and friends a reality.
The recently reopened
Story Book Dining at Artist Point with Snow White is a popular character dining experience located in
Disney's Wilderness Lodge. Unfortunately, Janet, Story Book Dining is not currently on the list of restaurants with
Mobile Dine Walk-Up Availability in the My Disney Experience Mobile App. Character dining options that do appear on the list, subject to availability, are
Chef Mickey's at Disney's Contemporary Resort,
Tusker House Restaurant at Disney's Animal Kingdom park, and breakfast at
Topolino's Terrace - Flavors of the Riviera at Disney's Riviera Resort. To access a restaurant's mobile walk-up list you must be close to the restaurant and do the following:
1. Open your
My Disney Experience Mobile App2. Click the plus sign in the bottom middle of the home screen and select "Check Dining Availability."
3. Select your party size, the current date, and "Now" as your time.
4. Join your desired walk-up list.
The first time my family dined with Snow White, it ended up being just the girls and an early, early dinner because that was the only reservation I could find. In addition to checking regularly for availability between now and your trip, I recommend being open to as many days, mealtimes, and party size options as possible. There are also some reservation-finding services online that can assist with your search. An internet search will reveal some complimentary services as well as some that come with a fee. In my experience, these services have found my desired reservations 75% of the time, though I was only fast enough to secure them online 50% of the time.
Snow White and I are wishing into the well for the perfect reservation to find you. Please reach out to planDisney with any other trip-planning questions.
Keep wishing,
Jennifer
