Hi there, Richard! Welcome to planDisney, where we are always delighted to help people like you plan the most magical Disney vacations.
Walt Disney World restaurants are open to everyone, whether you’re staying at a Disney resort or not, and whether you’ve added the
Disney Dining Plan or are paying as you go.
My family usually skips the dining plan since we don’t eat quite as much while we’re on vacation. But that doesn’t stop us from enjoying a character meal here and there (who doesn’t love lunch with Mickey?) or swinging by
Casey’s Corner for a footlong chili cheese dog and a spot on the hub grass. You can absolutely dine your way through the magic without a dining plan. Just make reservations when needed and enjoy what sounds good in the moment.
You can make Advanced Dining Reservations (ADRs) 60 days in advance of your dining date. If you are staying at one of the Disney resorts, you can reserve a table for up to 10 days during your stay.
If you are not staying at a
Walt Disney World resort, you can still make your dining reservations 60 days in advance, but only one day at a time.
Richard, if you need additional help selecting the perfect lunch or dinner date location, please stop by and visit with us again soon!
Toodles,
Korliss
