Walt Disney World Dining Information
Walt Disney World Resort Reopening Information and Updates
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 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.
The Disney Dining Plan is available for resort guests who either purchase a Disney World Resort Hotel Package or book using Disney Vacation Club points. With the Disney Dining Plan, you are purchasing a certain number of meals ahead of time on somewhat of a "voucher system."

Dining News
Chef Mickey’s now offers an all-you-care-to-enjoy family-style dinner that includes 'no touch' appearances like snapping a selfie or waving hello as Mickey Mouse and some of his favorite pals make surprising appearances in each of the dining rooms. Similar to other character dining locations, guests can take home a souvenir with character signatures and colorful artwork.
Cape May Café at Disney’s Beach Club Resort has reopened! Guests returning to Cape May Café will find old favorites and new changes, along with its signature service and quality. The restaurant will serve breakfast and dinner, but Minnie’s Beach Bash Character Breakfast and the Seafood-and-More Dinner Buffet will not return at reopening.
The guest-favorite character dining location at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park, Tusker House Restaurant, has also reopened! During the modified character experience, guests can enjoy delicious family-style entrees inspired by the flavors of Africa and can snap photos of Donald Duck and friends, dressed in their safari best as they promenade through the restaurant.
Select table service restaurants at Walt Disney World now have Disney Table Service To Go. This feature within the My Disney Experience app allows guests to place a to-go order at participating dining locations. After choosing your arrival time window via the app, guests are informed of the process, as well as the need for patience as the food that's been ordered will be made to order, and will take time just as it would if the food was being ordered at a table.
Guests will be notified when their order is ready, and will then be asked to head to the restaurant to pick their order up.
