Walt Disney World Dining FAQ

What is an Advance Dining Reservation (ADR)?
Many Disney table service restaurants are quite popular and book quickly. Please have your dining requests to your Off to Neverland Travel Dream Maker no later than 180 days prior to arrival in order have the best chance of dining when and where you want. Advance Dining Reservations are available at all Full Service dining locations up to 180 days in advance (with some exceptions). Guests with a confirmed Advance Dining Reservation will be seated at the next available table that will accommodate their party size after the confirmation time.
At most locations, the entire party must be present before seating will occur. Guests should arrive with their entire party ten minutes prior to their confirmation time. Reservations are generally held for up to 10 minutes past the confirmation time. Confirmed Guests who do not check in within this time frame may be subject to additional delays before seating, up to cancellation.

Can I make same day reservations for dining?
Due to the popularity of our Disney table service restaurants, dining availability may be limited or not available without advance reservations. Please have your dining requests to your Off to Neverland Travel Dream Maker no later than 180 days prior to arrival in order have the best chance of dining when and where you want. Same Day Dining Reservations can be made at each Theme Park by visiting Guest Relations or at each individual restaurant podium. You may also call Disney Dining from your resort room phone.

Will my infant need to be counted in the party size?
All children (including infants) must be counted as members of the party when making reservations even if the infant will be seated in a highchair, carrier, adult lap, not ordering a meal or eating off the adult plate. Incorrect party size numbers due to infants may delay seating time.

Do children have their own menu? Do I have to pay for children 2 years and under?
For dining purposes, a child is classified between the ages of 3 and 9. A child within this age group will be presented with a child's menu unless otherwise requested. Some restaurants where the inclusion of children is not recommended (including but not limited to: Victoria and Albert's, Bistro de Paris) do not offer a children's menu. Most buffet locations offer a children's buffet area with children's favorites.
For children under the age of 3 please note the following:
- Table Service: Children under 3 may share from an adult's ordered plate at no charge. However, children under 3 who choose to order a separate meal from the children's/adult menu, will be charged the price as noted on the menu. Free refills are available on child beverages, including juices, milk, chocolate milk, bottled water and soda. This refill policy does not apply to specialty drinks.
- Buffet/All-You-Care-To-Eat: Children under age three may share from an adult's plate at no charge. If a child under three wishes for a meal from a separate a-la-carte menu or children's menu in lieu of the buffet or all-you-care-to-eat menu at that location, they will be charged the price as noted on the menu.
- Quick Service: The Kids' Picks menu at many Quick Service locations gives Guests ages 9 and under their choice of two side items (carrots, grapes or applesauce) and one beverage (water, milk or juice) along with their selected entree. Sugar-Free Jell-O will also be available as an add-on option. French fries and fountain beverages available upon request.

Is Theme Park admission included in the cost of dining? What if my dining time is earlier than when the Theme Park opens?
Guests must have valid Theme Park admission in order to dine within a Disney Theme Park.
Advance Dining Reservations may be confirmed for a time which is prior to a Theme Park opening.

Guests should arrive at the turnstiles at least 20 - 30 minutes prior to the confirmed dining time to allow for entry time, walk time to the restaurant and check-in. A Disney Cast Member will validate the Dining Reservation number and allow entrance for the number of people (including infants).
