Welcome to planDisney, Alan. Dining experiences are such a magical part of our Walt Disney World adventures, so I get it. Let's try to ensure you get the reservations you would like during this visit.
The first tip is to double-check the date your dining reservations window opens up in your
My Disney Experience. The date will be listed right under 'Dining'. Make sure you log into My Disney Experience before dining reservations open, right now, that's at 10:45 am U.K. time (5:45 am Orlando time). Please ensure that you have a
credit card saved in your My Disney Experience ahead of this time, as this makes booking your dining much quicker. I like to be poised and ready to roll with a steaming cuppa and a list of locations by date.
If you are staying at a
Disney Resort hotel, one of the perks means you may book up to 10 days of dining at this point. Non-Disney Resort hotel Guests must book each day's dining separately.
Some popular experiences, like breakfast at Topolino's Terrace, can feel like gold dust, and I haven't always been able to secure my desired reservation. In this instance, I recommend checking back on My Disney Experience to see if any availability opens up for a particular dining reservation. Based on my experience, I've found that tables tend to open up as Guest plans change. But don't worry! Even when we ended up booking an alternative dining experience, it's always been a blast, and the food was delicious!
Alan, I hope these tips (along with a sprinkle of pixie dust) help you secure the dining experiences you want. If you have any other Walt Disney World questions, we'd love to help at planDisney.
