Eating our way around Disney World is one of our favorite things to do.
Between sit-down restaurants, fast food spots, snack stands, and more, there are plenty of places to grab a bite. If you’re planning a Disney World trip and are hoping to snag dining reservations soon, we have an update you need to know about.
Making Disney World dining reservations might be a little bit tough soon! Some dining-related areas of the Disney World website will be unavailable on October 27th, between 1AM and 5:30AM.
Here’s the full message from the Disney World website:
“Some of the dining-related areas of our website will be unavailable on Friday, October 27, 2023, between the hours of 1:00 AM and 5:30 AM Eastern Time. You are still welcome to view a full list of the dining options at Walt Disney World Resort and explore dining experiences that are available for booking during your vacation. As always, we will work hard to restore the magic as soon as possible! Thank you for your patience.”
If you’re someone who does their planning in the wee hours of the night or early morning (we get it — you do what you have to do for those coveted Disney World dining reservations) you might want to keep this in mind! Disney did state that they plan on working hard “to restore the magic” as soon as they can, so hopefully this will only last during the scheduled hours.
There is a chance that the dining-related pages could be down for a longer period of time, but for now, Disney hasn’t indicated any other areas of the website will be impacted. We’ll keep an eye out for any additional news.
