5 minutes in and gotta say I freakin love that you’re filming while doing laundry (all while on vacation). Mama life haha

[@thepixiedustedmom]

Lol mom life never stops

[@MollDoll21]

I wanted to say thank you! With your tips about pulling up the windows ahead of time, and just generally how you did it I was able to secure 4 reservations for the places we wanted and times!! You rock girl! ❤

[@thepixiedustedmom]

Yay!! So happy to hear you got what you wanted!!! One of the most exciting feelings right?!

[@cpionk313]

I love all of your videos Ashley! Excellent content! ❤

[@saraho789]

This was incredibly helpful thank you!

[@alexak9172]

We had 9 dining reservations for a trip we just took in January. Beforehand I did what you said and looked at all the menus and calculated what everything would cost including tip. It was like $1500 for just 3 people and that was only for reservation meals - not snacks and quick service 🫠 So we started buying Disney gift cards in advance and had it all completely covered before we got there. Lifesaver!

[@MouseDining]

Thank you so much for sharing your Disney dining reservation tips! Your coverage of MouseDining is fantastic and shows many great examples of how it can help guests get their dining and activity reservations. Do you mind if we share this on our socials?

[@kourtnijames1544]

I have a love hate relationship with budgeting at Disney for dinning. I always plan to eat somewhere and can never get the reservation we were wanting so we will have to look into mouse dining. We have never used MouseDining, so we are going to have to look into that! Also love you Apple Watch band!!

[@hannahmiller8887]

Still blows my mind how different it is to do WDW vs Disneyland 😳 We’re planning on a trip in a few years, so I’m keeping all these tips in my back pocket!

[@thepixiedustedmom]

Disneyland sounds so much easier to plan! We are really hoping to go one year.

[@tamarabutcher6057]

Thank you for your world clock tip! I tried the private browser tip as well but I think with the new dinning system the app is actually better and gave more times than the web browser. I was on my computer and my mom was on her phone both booking Sanaa at the same time because we have a party of 9 and had to spilt it into 2 groups. Thankfully we both got a reservation at the same time (5 mins apart).

[@elevatorgeek1234]

I've found that the mobile app has my credit card info saved, but the website requires me to re-enter my card every time I book dining. Also for alerts, most if not all cell phones have an email address that you can send messages to and they come through as texts which can be helpful for dining.

[@Ladyinwaiting7]

Ahh!! Are you really going to be there at the beginning of April????? 🎉❤

[@angelawisconsin3891]

I will have to try the incognito window the next time I book dinning. Great tip!

[@xiu94]

I have topolino’s breakfast on those days if you still need one 😂

[@thepixiedustedmom]

Lol we are skipping it this go around but thank you! ❤️

[@andreafischer8264]

Awesome video thanks Ashley - can I ask where you got your grand Floridian pullover from ❤ it thanks

[@thepixiedustedmom]

It's from this shop - wishesandco.com

[@andreafischer8264]

Thanks Ashley will definitly check them out - the color looks awesome on you - can I ask you which size you got?

[@georgiekate589]

If you are staying off site can you still book breakfast for before they open to offsite guests?

[@talhahamer5138]

I think Ashley have you taken your family to Princess restaurant in Cinderella’s Castle 🏰💜is where you can have dinner in the castle and meet all the princesses 👸🏻 that would be really exciting and also I think Crystal Palace at Magic kingdom is good for Families too where you can meet Winnie the Poohs friends is good too

[@thepixiedustedmom]

We would love to do Cinderella’s Royal Table at some point, it looks so fun!

[@ashleystephens32]

For budgeting I like to aim high, so I’ll pick the most expensive item on the menu and multiply that by my party size and since I know my son and husband will want a dessert I calculate that in there too and then I buy Disney gift cards at a discount so I basically have my meals paid for and whatever money I have left over on the gift card I will use that for snacks or souvenirs.

[@thepixiedustedmom]

That’s exactly what I do for budgeting meal prices too! It’s always nice to know you can order whatever looks good in the moment. 😋

[@ashleystephens32]

@@thepixiedustedmom yes!

[@kukuna2012]

Hi Ashley, I have a 5 yr girl, and 3 yr boy. If I would book only two character restaurants during 4 days of parks, what do you recommend? thank you so much!

[@wendygreathouse7176]

Ok when making a reservation using your credit card do u pay for it then or at the restaurant? Thanks 😊 love your videos so helpful ❤

[@thepixiedustedmom]

99% of reservations you pay at the restaurant but there are a few you pay at booking.

[@danilynn1217]

Girllll you’re gonna be at MK on Tron opening day 👀

[@thepixiedustedmom]

It was planned for Happily Ever After and Tron is just icing on the cake! Really hoping we get in the virtual queue!!!

[@danilynn1217]

Exciting!!

[@stacymiles9498]

So I have a trip in May- when should I purchase Mouse dining? We don’t go very often so not sure if I should buy it before 60 days or now? Thoughts?

[@thepixiedustedmom]

It won’t start sending you alerts until after your 60 day window so I would buy it then.

[@cgtbattista]

What is the holder for your MagicBand on your Apple Watch?!?! Why haven’t we talked about that before?! 🤩🤯

[@thepixiedustedmom]

It's this thing and it's amazing!! amzn.to/40HYkPj

[@cgtbattista]

@@thepixiedustedmom In my cart!! getting ready for my baby boy's first trip in May!

[@05LifesGood05]

I didn’t understand the part when you mention people staying in other hotels that’s not Disney resorts, could we still reserve 60 days in advance from when our Disney day ticket is reserved ? Or what did you mean we have to book them spread out ?

[@thepixiedustedmom]

Yes, you can book at 60 days but you can only book one day at a time.

[@myeeshagriffin250]

If you are using incognito page nothing usually saves even if you are logged into your specific MDE.

[@thepixiedustedmom]

It does it to me even without the incognito mode on. 🫠 On my phone browser everywhere.

[@myeeshagriffin250]

@thepixiedustedmom hmmmm that has to be the app then which stinks. 😕

[@shareepeplinski8028]

How do I do incognito mode in chrome? 😅 our day to book dining is in 2 days so I’m really prepping hardcore

[@thepixiedustedmom]

It's under the file tab. Should be a "New Incognito Window" button to click.

[@otapprovedactivities1675]

Out of curiosity, when you have your breakfast at 8:00 at Crystal Palace does that replace rope dropping the park? Or will you typically be done eating and able to get on some rides?

[@thepixiedustedmom]

It did replace rope dropping the park for us. Waits were still low once we finished around 9:30 but it does take that place.

[@otapprovedactivities1675]
