Booking Dining Reservations at Disney

If you’re planning a vacation to Walt Disney World or Disneyland, then you can make your dining reservations well in advance of your trip!

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

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.”

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.

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.
