How do you check in for a restaurant?

How do you check in from your phone for a dining reservation once at Disney? Thanks!!!

Assuming you have the app downloaded, it should pop up for you on your phone when you get close to the time of your reservation, but if it doesn't, you can go into "my plans," click on your reservation and check in from there.

Alternatively, there will be a QR code near the restaurant that you can scan.

That’s true—we always checked in on the way to the restaurant so forgot they do have it there.

I should also mention we did have one time when we forgot our phones at the hotel room before heading to Cali Grill and we checked in the old fashioned way at the host stand. So that’s still an option if you can’t use your phone for any reason.

Last time I ate there, in January, they just checked us in at the host stand in the lobby as well.

I've done it both ways. In person and on the app. On the app, you can check in 20 mins before and it will give you instructions as to what to do, and will tell you when your table is ready. If you have it set to send you texts, you'll get a text (that's my favorite way because I seem to get that faster).

I've also checked in at the podium. On my last trip, the app wouldn't let me check into Coral Reef with just me, so I went to the podium. The awesome cast member took care of everything, and I got a text when my table was ready, which was only 15 mins after I checked in.
