Eating without a reservation? Possible?

[deek17]

We are going to disney next week and I did not make ADR because we want to do our own thing and are not sure where we will be and when we will get hungry. How likely is it to walk up to a restraunt and be able to get a table without ADR? We are a party of 4.

Hi,

Sure, it's possible. But it all depends on which restaurant and what time.

You run the same risks you would run at any popular restaurant anywhere. You may have to wait a looonnngggg time, or you may be told they are not taking walk-ups.

I plan about half my TS meals in advance. The rest we either walk up, and usually have a wait, or check with the concierge desk at your hotel before leaving for the parks that day. Last year we had planned an "off" day, went to the desk. The woman recommended Maya Grill at CSR. I had never been to that resort. Turned out to be the best meal of the trip. If we planned everything ahead of time we never would have tried it. I really like not having everything planned, but if there is a "must do" restaurant, get an ADR for that one.

DH and I went to Disney last year during free dinning and I did make reservations, I actually made reservations incessantly for several months before our trip. This drove DH CRAZY!!!! He wanted to go and just eat where and when he wanted. Well when we got there we did keep some of our reservations but we also just did some walk-ups and on some days we would call the dinning number in the morning to make reservations for dinner that night. We would usually have several choices of restaurant and time. I am sure you won’t have much trouble at all.
