    Are you allowed to book a Resort restaurant if you don't have a vacation reservation? I will be in the area this June and July and would like to know If I can book The Yachtsman as it is a favorite of mine.

    Hi, Thomas! Welcome (back) to planDisney.

    It's easy to see why Yachtsman Steakhouse is a favorite of yours. Tucked inside Disney’s Yacht Club Resort, it has that perfect balance of upscale and welcoming. The wood-paneled dining room feels cozy yet refined, and the open kitchen lets you peek in on the action. And don't even get me started on the food. As we say in Liverpool, "the scran is sound as a pound." Translation: It's incredible! Their expertly aged steaks are always cooked to perfection (possibly the best on property?), and the truffle mac and cheese is worth the visit on its own. It’s one of those spots that feels like a true treat every time you go.

    The great news is you don’t need a Disney Resort hotel reservation to dine there. You’re more than welcome to book a table at any Disney Resort restaurant, even if you're staying off property or just in the area for the day. As long as you have a confirmed dining reservation, you're good to go. This makes it easy to enjoy your favorite restaurants during your trip, even if you’re not staying at a Disney hotel this time around.

    Pro tip: If you’ll be driving, be prepared to show your dining reservation at the gate to access the resort parking. Or, if you’re spending the day at EPCOT, Yachtsman Steakhouse is just a short walk from the International Gateway entrance. It's perfect for a post-park dinner with a peaceful stroll along Disney's BoardWalk.
