TWO More Hotel Restaurants — Including a Fan Favorite! — Have Been Added to the NEW Dining Feature on the Disney World App

Just last week, a new dining feature was added to the My Disney Experience app for Walt Disney World guests.

Sanaa in Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge

The new Mobile Dine Walk-Up Waitlist allows guests to view Table Service restaurants that have available seating for walk-up guests. That said, as a brand new feature, only two restaurants in Disney World were previously available on the walk-up waitlist: Sanaa in Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge and Topolino’s Terrace in Disney’s Riviera Resort.

Today, however, two more restaurants have been added to the Walk-up Waitlist, and — as with the previous eateries — both are located in Disney World Resort hotels.

Beaches and Cream Menu

New to the list are Beaches and Cream (Helloooo, No Way, Jose!) at Disney’s Beach Club Resort and Ale & Compass Restaurant at the newly reopened Yacht Club Resort.

We noticed that Ale & Compass Restaurant showed an estimated wait time of 5 minutes based on a party of 4. (It also requested that we “move closer to the restaurant” to join the walk-up list.) As a reminder, some restaurants may have walk-up availability even if they do not have the mobile capability, as noted on the app. Guests are always welcome to check with a Cast Member.

ICYMI, upon the feature’s initial release, Whispering Canyon Café in Disney’s Wilderness Lodge and Kona Café in Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort populated the waitlist, as well; however, we have not seen those two available on the feature’s list since. And, at this time, no theme park restaurants are listed. (As a reminder, to dine in a Disney World theme park Table Service restaurant during this reopening phase, guests must have a required Park Pass Reservation and an Advance Dining Reservation.) But we’ll be keeping our eyes on the new Mobile Dine Walk-Up Waitlist feature and keeping YOU posted on any further additions, so stay tuned!
