Dining Reservations over the phone

[midnight star]

Hi !
I’m trying to book a dining reservation for Sunday but don’t see the times online. Does Disney keep some reservations open via phone? Or are they in sync with each other? Would calling help?
Thanks!

Usually what you see online is what the CMs see on their computers, too. But it definitely can help to call (it certainly can't hurt!). Be as nice to the CM and as flexible with your dates/times as you can be. Good luck!

It definitely doesn’t hurt to call. Are you staying onsite? They do hold some reservations back for onsite hotel guests. I would also check on Saturday night. Last month I was looking for a Plaza Inn breakfast reservation and several opened up late the evening before the next morning that I wanted to go. Good luck!

Thank you. I will try calling tomorrow. If not, I'll look Saturday to check for cancellations. If that fails, we will just do a walk in!

When I was looking to book our afternoon tea at DLH, there had been a time available online, but when I clicked to book it, it was gone. So I called, and they were able to get it for me. So I'd definitely recommend calling.

Are you staying on site? If so they keep a few reservations for onsite guests.

Keep checking online too- even before Saturday. Stuff gets cancelled frequently.

No we are just doing a day trip.

Ok I will. It’s for Lamplight so I have a feeling they will keep being booked.I just called and the CM said it was completely full. But I’ll keep looking everyday.

I don't know how large your party is but my DD had success booking lamplight fairly last minute last week. She just kept checking and eventually something came up. Actually two openings came up- the first someone grabbed before her but just a few minutes later a better time showed up and she got that one. She was only looking for a party of 2 but I'd guess it would be pretty random as to what might open up anyway. She and MIL really enjoyed their visit so keep trying

We will be a party of 3! I will keep checking! If nothing comes up we will do a walk in!
