Dining Reservation

[StJohnfamily]

Since I was not able to get table service reservations for two of the nights, is it going to be possible to walk up and get a table? I was told the TS restaurants at Magic Kingdom were completely booked.

It happens. It is all about the timing. Nothing really that you can control. Get there early, at the start of dinner time, and ask. You might have to wait a while.

Don't forget you have the monorail resorts as a possibility, as well as the WL. And heck, you could take those two TS credits and hit the Hoop De Doo Revue.

Maybe, maybe not.

If you can't, remember there's only five TS restaurants in MK. You might consider taking the monorail to one of the nearby resorts.

You could also check for Tomorrowland Terrace (overflow buffet dinner) or Diamond Horseshoe (same family style meal as Liberty Tree Tavern, dinner only).

It is unlikely. If they had space they would give you an ADR.
Your best chance is to arrive right at the opening time at lunch, and maybe dinner. Sometimes right at opening they do seat walk ups.
You have a better chance at a non theme park restaurant. The theme park restaurants seldom open up.

I wouldldefinitely NOT count on getting a walk up ADR in MK. They are pretty rare. Have you looked at the monorail resorts as an option? We leave MK for dinner at the Poly, CR, or GF at least once a trip. It is really simple to do and doesn't take that much longer than eating in the park.

Its not impossible.

On our last trip in January, we couldn't get ADR's when we wanted. Truth be told, we only tried making them the morning of (it was a last minute trip). We were able to get walk up sittings at Tony's in MK, Italy in Epcot and Whispering Canyon twice and the SciFi at HS. I think the longest we waited was 40 minutes for Tony's, others were about 15-25 minutes.

From reading ,I'm guessing we were lucky. It might be tough but not impossible.

It might be possible if you go when they open up for dinner. We were late getting to the hotel on our arrival day, and missed an ADR at Chef Mickey's one time. I tried to get another ADR for that week without any luck. We were staying CL, and the CM at the desk suggested being there when Chef Mickey's opened to try to get in as a walk up. It worked for us, and they seated us just after they opened.

It is definitely worth a try! People cancel all the time, and sometimes people just don't show up for their ADR. You will have a better shot if you can avoid the typical dinner time by eating early or late.

Thank you all for your wonderful suggestions. I think we will look into one of the resorts on the monorail.
