Making Dining Reservations at DLP

[bchurch]

So I've been under the impression we can make DLP dining reservations 60 days out. Well right now that would be June 4 and the latest i see reservations can be made at any DLP restaurant in the app is May 31. Am i missing something here? Thanks.

My trip starts on June 7th. Staring to get concerned. The app has been buggy for about a week now.

I'm seeing the same thing, and assume that I won't be able to book end of June until May 1

So on another forum i'm following, people are saying the app does not work for June right now, but you can call and DLP can/will book your reservation at the 60 day mark. ... If you end up trying this, i'd appreciate hearing it if works.

I will give it a go and let you know!

I just went to my app and it let me book all of my restaurant reservations! For end of June! The only mystery: Walt's was there but not open for booking (no button to hit for booking), which I gather means it is full. So if you have a June trip, try your app now!

The app still seems messed up.. You can book to June 10th right now which is 62+ days out. When the next day opens, it is already sold out in the app (for Remy / Auberge anyways). Are you able to book over the phone earlier than it shows up in the app?

Has anyone been able to get Walts, via app or via phone? That is our top must-do but it looks like bookings haven't been added into the app yet - it shows up on the map and you can get to the restaurant info page that way, but it doesn't come up from the dining tab at all. That isn't consistent with other restaurants that are open but booked solid - I saw how that looks when checking out Remy's, and I could search and get "no times available". Walts doesn't even have the option to choose a date to search.

We are finding the same-- you can book other restaurants in the app, but no booking button for Walt's.

Yeah, I'm thinking I will call tomorrow because this feels like a classic Disney tech mess - Walts doesn't look like it has been added to the app reservation system since it reopened after the covid closures. Hopefully I'll have better luck over the phone if that's the case. If not, I guess I'll just keep checking back to see if I get lucky.

Reddit to the rescue... I didn't end up having to call because I stumbled on a post in the DLRP Reddit that gave a work around. Search by date on the "all restaurants" page and if Walt's is available, it will show up. I think the difficulty booking is actually helping availability too, because there seem to be a lot of open tables right now. I got the late lunch I wanted for June 11 and basically had my choice of times.

Now I can go back to being nervous about my overall dining strategy rather than about getting the couple of restaurants we really wanted to try.

Hi all, I wanted to book Chez Remy for 2 people, but was only able to book 2 reservations for one person 15 min apart. Is there any chance we will be able to be seated together? Where do they seat single people in the restaurant, is there a bar area? Or do you get seated at a bigger table with another party?

If you have a hotel reservation & package with DLP restaurant reservations opened up way before the 60 day mark. I made my July ADR's the end of April.

Walts opened up in the app exactly at the 60 day mark, and my travel specialist was able to snag Auberge for me.

I am actually doing the same thing in August for the Downtown Restaurant at Art of Marvel. We have 2, two-person reservations and added a special request that the tables be near each other.

Yeah I wish i knew that all i needed to do is link my hotel reservation earlier and i likely would have gotten a 4 person table. And for all those reading this in the future... If you got through a 3rd party like hotels.com/expedia, you CAN link those reservations in the app. You may need to send the DLP hotel a message via the 3rd party website to have them confirm the reservation number as our hotels.com one was like 15 digits, but the DLP internal one was only 9

If you dont get a reservation for Walts in advance, keep checking the app whilst you are there. They open walk-in reservations at 11am each morning, and sometimes availability pops up in the app. I managed to snag a reso at Walts over the easter weekend, day of.

Are there any other park restaurants that typically offer walk-in reservations?

For who ever is interested. Today I called to see about an Auberge reservation for about 6 weeks from now. All that was available for people who had booked a hotel or package through Disney.

We are staying at a Disney resort and still unable to get the dining reservations we were hoping for.

Have you tried to call yet?
And even in DLP some restaurants book up quickly.
