If guests are planning a trip to Walt Disney World Resort or Disneyland Resort, then they’ll want to see today’s three easy, time-saving Disney dining tips – including one BRAND-NEW way to simplify your dining plans.
This year, there are exciting Disney improvements and perks for things like making and viewing dining reservations, mobile ordering and more. Here’s what’s new:
Discover Dining Reservation Availability More Easily
Guests can now see all available reservation time slots at a restaurant for the entire day on DisneyWorld.com, Disneyland.com, and the My Disney Experience and Disneyland apps. Reservations are sorted by breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner, so guests can easily choose a time based on the menu they’d like to enjoy.
COMING SOON! Search for Dining Availability for Multiple Days
Soon, guests will also be able to see dining availability for MULTIPLE days at a time! With a single search, guests can view available dining reservations for any given restaurant for up to 10 days at a time. It will make scheduling dining reservations for an entire vacation much easier!
Pro tips:
- At Walt Disney World, guests staying at a Disney Resorts Collection hotel can make reservations 60 days prior to arrival for their entire length of stay (for up to a 10-night stay). This can help guests enjoy streamlined vacation planning by making all their reservations on the same day rather than checking availability day after day.
- Guests of the Hotels of the Disneyland Resort have preferred access to a limited number of reservations to dine at select Disneyland Resort hotel table-service restaurants during their stay. Guests should make sure to link their Disneyland Resort hotel confirmation to their Disneyland.com account to be eligible for the benefit!
If plans change at the last minute, don’t fret. With an update we made last year, guests can change or cancel up to two hours before a scheduled reservation at most Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resort locations. Keep in mind, some locations may vary, so check guests should check the restaurant’s dining policy ahead of their visit.
Find Quick and Nearby Foods with Mobile Order
If a guest prefers quick-service locations, recent mobile order updates make it even easier to find and order food whenever hunger strikes.
Guests can sort the list to see which mobile order locations are close by and offer the earliest available pickup times in the app. If they’re walking around Sunset Boulevard at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, they can easily order from nearby locations like Rosie’s All-American Café!
There’s much to be excited about at Disney Parks right now – especially when it comes to food! As we continue to focus on simplifying your experience, we have made additional updates to the My Disney Experience and Disneyland app navigation menus that make the services and features guests need during their visit – like ordering food and making a dining reservation – easier to find and access. If guests are feeling hungry, they can head to the Apple App Store or Google Play Store to download the My Disney Experience and Disneyland apps, so they can plan their dream dining experience.* Already have the app? Make sure it’s up-to-date for the latest features.
