B. Advanced Dining Reservations
If you plan to eat at any of their table service restaurants, then it is highly recommended that you make dining reservations. Disney makes it very easy, as it is all done online. Once you have reservations made, it will also appear on your My Disney Experience account, so you can refer back to that to keep track.
The reservation window opens up 60 days in advance. If you want to eat at a very sought out restaurant, then you may need to be online first thing in the morning at 60 days from your check-in date to book them. They really do book up that fast sometimes. Cinderella’s Royal Table and Space 220 are two that are very hard to get, I highly recommend booking at 60 days if either one of those is a must for you.
Here is a list of table service restaurants listed by park that will require reservations:
Magic Kingdom
- Liberty Tree Tavern

** It’s important to note that because of the large selection of restaurants at Epcot, there is a higher chance of getting a table without a reservation. Not always a guarantee, but your chances will be higher at Epcot.

- Mama Melrose’s
- 50’s Prime Time Café

Above is just what is available in the parks. There is also a great selection of restaurants at the various resorts and at Disney Springs. You can check out everything that is listed on Disney’s website.
**Quick Tip – if you are unable to find a reservation online, call Disney dining to see if they can help to find you something. I have sometimes had luck with that. Also, for the restaurants that are not Disney owned, for example the ones at Disney Springs, you can always try and look for reservations on OpenTable.
