Dining at Walt Disney World is part of the magic — but with popular spots booking up months in advance, you’ll need a strategy.
Step 1: Know Your Dates
Reservations open 60 days before your trip. Guests staying in Disney hotels can book for their entire stay at once, giving them an edge.
Step 2: Prioritise Hard-to-Get Restaurants
Book the toughest ones first:
Cinderella’s Royal Table
Space 220
‘Ohana
Roundup Rodeo BBQ
Other options are easier to snag later.
Step 3: Don’t Panic if You Miss Out
People cancel constantly. Check the app daily, especially in the week before your trip. Persistence pays off.
Step 4: Be Flexible
Wanted dinner at 220 and lunch at Royal table? If its available, book it! You can switch up if the opportunity comes up. But if you get the chance, don't hesitate and book as soon as you can.
The Bottom Line: With timing, prioritisation, and persistence, you can dine where you want without the stress — and make your Disney meals as magical as the rides.
