PLEASE NOTE: The process for booking dining reservations for Walt Disney World restaurants has recently changed as part of the reopening of the Resort’s theme parks in July 2020.

Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom reopened on July 11th, followed by EPCOT and Hollywood Studios on July 15th. You can see the full list of in-park restaurants that are available upon the initial reopening by clicking here, and you may see all of the dining options available at the Walt Disney World Resort hotels during the initial reopening phase here. 

BE ADVISED THAT during the initial reopening phase, you will need: (1) valid park admission (2) a required reservation for park entry AND (3) a dining reservation to dine at a Table Service restaurant in one of the parks. Disney states that “Dining reservations do not guarantee admission to the park.”

We are continually updating this page with the most recent information as this situation evolves. 

______________________________________________________________________

There are hundreds of dining opportunities in Disney parks and resorts, and many of these are sit-down, or “table-service,” restaurants. Even if you’re traveling during a less-crowded season, it’s always recommended that you make Advance Dining Reservations, or ADRs, for your meals.

BOOKING DINING in WALT DISNEY WORLD

Guests are able to make a dining reservation at most Disney World restaurants up to 60 days in advance of your meal. (Resort hotel guests may make reservations up to 60 days in advance plus the length of their stay up to 10 days.)

To make online reservations, click on any table service restaurant name in our
DISNEY WORLD RESTAURANT GUIDE
and select “Book Online.”

To reserve by phone, call 407-WDW-DINE (3463), answer a few voice-activated questions, and you’ll be transferred to a dining agent who will book your meals for you.

You can also book online using the Disney World Website. Just enter your search specifics in the Disney search box, or use the Check Availability Tool on any individual Table Service restaurant’s page.

Additionally, dining reservations can be made using the My Disney Experience app on your smart device. My Disney Experience is one component of MyMagic+, Disney’s all-inclusive, technology-based planning system. You can read more about the impact that MyMagic+ has had on Disney World dining since it’s 2013 debut if you click here.
