If you don’t have a park ticket or just have some time to kill in Disney World (and don’t want to spend that time in the parks), Disney Springs is a great option.
There’s so much to do in Disney Springs, although most of it is shopping and eating (and we’re big fans of the latter). However, if you decide to go to Disney Springs last-minute, you might not have arranged any dining reservations — and that can be a problem if you want to eat at a popular table service restaurant. However, Disney just added a new service that will help you with that if you’re going to dine at a Disney Springs restaurant.
So, let’s say you’ve just arrived in Disney Springs and want to eat at one of its many table-service restaurants, but you don’t have a dining reservation. Well, you might just shrug it off and decide to eat at a quick service restaurant, OR you can take advantage of a brand-new service.
Just outside the Orange parking garage, you’ll now find a Cast Member at a podium who can let you know which restaurants have same-day dining availability. The podium is really easy to spot because it has a sign on the front.
If you’re looking for a bite to eat in Disney Springs, you might want to head over to that podium to find out what’s available and grab a table quickly. It sure beats wandering around Disney Springs looking for a restaurant that isn’t full, right? Of course, we have suggestions for restaurants if they’re available because we have some favorites in Disney Springs, like Homecomin‘, Wine Bar George, and Raglan Road.
