Whispering Canyon @ Wilderness Lodge closing 5/12 to 5/21

[crazy4wdw]

From the WDW website:

From May 12 through May 21, 2025, Whispering Canyon Café will be closed for refurbishment. During this time, Guests can choose from a variety of other dining locations at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge, including Territory Lounge, Roaring Fork, Geyser Point Bar & Grill and Story Book Dining at Artist Point with Snow White.

What about the days starting June 27th?

I tried to get a reservation for the Whispering Canyon Cafe at Wilderness lodge but it does not offer any dates from June 27th on. The refurbishment is advertised from May 12th to 21st - and those dates are specifically blocked out. Starting June 27th there are simply not timeslots loaded. Any ideas what that means?

The WDW website still lists those dates for the closure. June 27th and following dates would be outside of the 60 day booking window for ADR's

Your resort arrival date in order to make an ADR for June 27th is April 28th.

We stay at WL and my booking window just opened today and includes all days until July 1st. Every other restaurant I can book. It is just that there are NO times available for Whispering Canyon Cafe:

It could be that Disney has not downloaded those dates yet. It may be they are making sure that the renovations are completed on time.

I first thought so too, but the dates from May 22 to June 26 directly after the renovation period can be booked.
I suspect a second renovation period or somebody forgot to open up the calendar for reservations.

This am Nothing showing for our week there that starts 6/29

Had wanted to book the 40% off deal

EDIT

CM kind enough to take the time to try to do mock bookings & search for other existing ADRs 'my week'

Appears it hasn't been loaded into the system yet. Told to keep checking back online

Thanks for calling Disney Dining.

I just checked again and the last day available for booking is June 26. After that there is not a single timeslot available. I hope they fix this shortly because I am really annoyed checking this reservation each day.

If anybody can book please leave a note in this thread. Thanks!

Same here. Now all dates are available. Thanks again for contacting Disney Dining.

I am trying to book August 5th and it seems nothing is open in August yet.

I would suggest you wait a few days. Theo probably forgot to load the dates into the system. Or, if you are in a hurry, call Disney Dining directly.
