It’s the holidays at Disney World, and even at 35% capacity, it’s been pretty busy in the parks these past few weeks!
Main Street, USA
We’ve already seen long waits for Mobile Order, and if you’re looking for a table service meal and haven’t made an Advance Dining Reservation, you sadly might be out of luck at quite a few locations today.
After reopening, Disney World set up the Mobile Dine Walk-up Waitlist, which lets guests join a virtual line to get into many of the resort’s table service restaurants without an advance reservation. However, today, due to high demand, the Walk-Up Waitlist is currently unavailable at LOTS of locations.
Here’s the current situation at Magic Kingdom:

But even restaurants at resorts and other parks have the same message:

EPCOT still has a few restaurants with availability:

Hollywood Studios, which is at full capacity today, currently has no restaurants available for the Walk-up Waitlist.
So if you had your heart set on dining somewhere specifically today, we say, keep trying, but it may be a quick service day. Or you can always head to Disney Springs for dinner as they will be open until 11PM and have lots of dining options. We will let you know if availability changes. Happy New Year’s Eve, friends!
We’ll continue to keep an eye on the situation and let you know if it changes.
