As an AP holder, I go to WDW several times a year and most trips have had really good luck walking up to restaurants at lunch or just as they oepn for dinner. However, I never go during busy times of the year. Just this last May we walked into Yak & Yeti, Mama Melrose, Biergarten, and Liberty Tavern for lunch.


I just checked the menus over on AllEars to see the list of restaurants and realized that on different trips I have walked into most WDW restaurants. Granted we are always a party of 1-3, so that makes it easier. Restaurants we have walked into in the last few years include: Yak & Yeti, Rainforest Cafe, 50's Prime Time, Brown Derby, Mama Melrose, Sci Fi, Coral Reef, Biergarten, Chef's de France, Le Cellier (lunch only), Nine Dragons, Marrakesh, Rose & Crown (lunch only), Tokyo Dining, Tutto Italia, Via Napoli, Liberty Tree Tavern (lunch only), Tony's, Plaza, Boma, Sanaa, Big River Grill, Flying Fish, Kouzzina, Shutters, Olivias, The Wave, Maya Grill, Boatwrights, Turf Club, Garden Grove, Artist Point, Kona, Cap'n Jack's, Fulton's (back before it started taking the
DDP), T Rex, Planet Hollywood, Raglan Road, Bongos, Wolfgang Puck Cafe, and House of Blues.
