Disney Springs without ADR

[Shellyb84]

Does anyone think it would be possible to get a table anywhere in Disney Springs without a reservation? Our plans have changed and we may be able to get down in time for dinner, but Atlanta traffic is too unpredictable to plan an ADR. We're coming in Monday evening next week.

The size of the party will influence availability.

If I were you, I'd check MDE for availability 2-3 hrs away and then book something. If nothing we like was open, then WPE or EOS would get our business.

Thanks! I didn't think about that.

IMHO, I wouldn't use MDE. There is no need to give them your cc info and risk a $10 per person no-show fee, when you can make many of the same reservations (and sometimes find more availability) on opentable.com. Raglan Road, Boathouse, Morimoto, Bongos, etc. are all on opentable.com

I had no idea those where in open table! Awesome. I'm not familiar with DS at all. How long do the shops stay open? And are kids welcome in Jock Lindsay's or adults only?

Kids are welcome in jock Lindsay's we walked in with my two year old and saw a few kids eating there. I think the hours depend on the night. One night during our trip the cm at the bus stop said the last bus left st 2 am!

Very good point. I keep forgetting about opentable.com because we never have to make reservations at home.

Most of Disney Springs send only a fraction of their tables to MDE/Disney. Always use OpenTable or call the restaurant directly.

We sometimes drive through DS on our way to and from my parents' in south FL. While I don't book on MDE, I look at the app to see what has openings once we get into the area and figure those are the best considerations for walk ups.
