Wait List for Restaurants

[slh1977]

Does anyone know if the popular restaurants (Be Our Guest, Ohana, etc) have a wait list? I went on this morning at 6 am for my 180 days and got mostly everything, but even then some of the restrauants were sold out.

No wait list. You just have to keep checking and be as flexible as you can be with your times and days. For Be Our Guest, if you're looking for breakfast or lunch, split up your party into smaller numbers. Once you get there, you find your own seats, so no problem sitting together.

For restaurants managed by Disney: No. If you can snag an ADR, you have the ADR. If you can't, then you either have to look for something else, or keep checking for a cancellation.

For restaurants not managed by Disney: Maybe. You'd have to check with the restaurant to see if they do.

No wait list, but you can use the reservation finder from the Unofficial Guide: www.touringplans.com/walt-disney-world/reservation-finder

I agree with the above comment. I used the reservation finder to snag a better reservation time for Ohana. The trick is to be quick to log in and grab that reservation when you receive the notice. Also, people cancel reservations all the time, especially as they get closer to their trip and finalize their plans.

I agree with others - people cancel reservations all the time. We have gotten BOG the week before we went and even days before, while we were already in Disney. Be diligent and keep trying. If the party is large (we are usually 8) I book 2 parties of 4 if I have to. I use mine and my DH's MDE account. Good Luck!

Keep checking (especially the first week ADRs open, 60 days out, 30 days out, and the week before your trip).

The only restaurant I know that has a waitlist is Victoria and Alberts
