Disney has some of the finest dining in the world. You can make reservations through the Disney World app or MyDisneyExperience website. All the people you want to be with you must be accessible under your login account so you can add them to the reservation.
For larger groups, you may have an easier time reserving tables in groups of 4 people around the same time. You can call Disney Dining Reservations and they can help. 1-407-WDW-DINE
There are some restaurants inside the parks and you can’t visit those unless you have a ticket and reservation for the park on that day. There are however many fantastic restaurants at the Disney resort properties that do not require any tickets. Reserving a meal at a resort restaurant guarantees you free parking at the resort.
All of the restaurants offer unique experiences and menus.
For some high-end more expensive experiences reserve a meal at one of the following restaurants and drive up to the resort to park:
- Topolino’s Terrace at the top of the Riviera resort
- California Grill at the top of Contemporary resort
- Toledo at the top of Coronado Springs resort
Topolino’s Fireworks View
These restaurants are on the expensive side but can be a great special experience for dinner for two if you can’t afford it for everyone. Reserve about an hour before fireworks happen (usually 8-8:30 pm) and you’ll have a super amazing evening. It’s dinner and a show.
If you’re having a tough time finding a reservation available spend $5 to try for one via Mousewatcher – Disney Dining Reservations. They can text you when a reservation becomes available…act immediately to reserve it.
Often people reserve and end up cancelling the day before or day of their reservation. There is no cancellation fee up to 2 hours in advance. So if you are not able to get a reservation keep trying and you may still get it.
