When it comes to the Disney parks, things are constantly changing and evolving!
From ride refurbishments, to new restaurants, to hotel changes, and more, things tend to move pretty quickly around the Disney parks. The changes aren’t always popular, but sometimes Disney totally NAILS IT and rolls out an update that gets overwhelming applause from the fans! And so far, that seems to be the case with a recent update to the process of dining reservations!
In the past, when searching for Advance Dining Reservations on the Disney World or Disneyland websites or apps, guests were limited to searching by specific periods of dining times.
This often led to A LOT of clicking around. For example, when trying to make a breakfast reservation, you might need to switch between searching for “breakfast” versus “8AM” or other specific times until THE reservation time you want pops up.
But the new dining reservation change Disney is rolling out eliminates that issue, making it WAY easier to pick the best time for you without having to tweak the timing options! With the update, you’ll actually be able to see ALL of the available dining reservations for the restaurant and timeframe you’re looking at.
This change is applicable for both Disney World AND Disneyland, and you’ll see the expanded lists of times whether you’re booking on the website or the app!
We immediately started daydreaming about how much easier this will make our future hunts for dining reservations, but we wanted to hear from our readers about their thoughts as well!
