Is this something that I need priority seating for? How far in advance should I book it? We're going to DL next week, and I wasn't exactly sure when we were going to stop in and eat, but I just realized that if I need to call ahead, I guess I better do that now and actually put it down on my schedule.
 
I would go ahead & book it now; it's better to know what time you'll be eating & work around that, than to maybe end up waiting a long time to eat, or worse, not be able to eat where you want to due to crowds. (Not sure if it'll be super crowded then or not, but CO doesn't have a particulary large seating area & it's better to be safe than sorry, IMO)
 
We made reservations the day we ate there (at the PPH Concierge) in October. We had a great table outside by the rail so we could watch all the people walking by.
 
We have never had to make reservations for Cafe Orleans, but you can just to be safe. It is not usually packed as other locations and walking in does not take too long to wait unless it is summer.
 

I will say what I always say on threads that ask this question......

if you know you want to eat at CO make a reservation!! We have been turned away multiple times because they were full for the day, so just make your reservations now and don't worry about it. :)
