Walt Disney World Dining Information
There are many aspects of planning to take into consideration when you’re planning your visit to the Walt Disney World Resort. Dining at Disney World is not difficult, but it can get complicated if you don’t have some prior knowledge going in. You do not have to micromanage every little detail, but a little bit of planning will go a long way. We’ve done our best to give you some pointers on not only what’s available to eat from snack carts and Quick Service restaurants to Signature dining and everything in between with our extensive Restaurants and Menus area and Search Tool. We’ve also included information on the Disney Dining Plan (returns in Janurary 2024!) and Dining Reservations too.
Disney World Dining Reservations can be made at all of the Walt Disney World Table Service restaurants 60 days in advance. Guests staying at a Walt Disney World Resort can make all of their dining reservations for their entire length of their stay (up to 10 days of their vacation) at 60-days from their arrival date. You can make your dining reservations online, via the My Disney Experience app, or by calling Disney Dining at (407) WDW-DINE.
