Hello Cassandra!
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! We are excited to answer your very first question!
Many Guests are unaware that they are welcome to make advanced dining reservations at several restaurants at the Walt Disney World Resort, including
restaurants located in Disney Springs. Reservations can be made up to 180 days in advance
online, using the
My Disney Experience mobile app, or calling (407) 939-3463.
Whenever you make a reservation, you are required to provide information for a valid credit card. The card on file will only be charged a cancellation fee for each Guest in the reservation if you do not cancel it within the cancellation period or do not show up at the restaurant. You should not expect any other charges unless you have made reservations at a restaurant or dining experience that requires pre-payment in full, like
Cinderella’s Royal Table. After you have enjoyed your meal, your card will not be charged. You will have to provide Cast Members with a method of payment to pay for your bill, and you are welcome to charge the same card used to secure the reservation or a different one.
Moms Panel tip: Don’t forget to download the My Disney Experience mobile app to have all details of your visit on the palm of your hand! You will be able to check your plans, share them with friends and family, and even make, modify or cancel dining reservations.
It was a pleasure answering your question, Cassandra! Come back to visit us if you come across more questions while planning your visit.
Best magical wishes,
Thiana
