The SECRET To Getting The Hardest Reservations In Disney World

[@apenner1121]

Another tip: when you get into the park, keep checking all day long for a reservation. We were able to snag a same day reservation to Cinderella's Castle for a late lunch. We tried, tried and tried and tried again and it paid off, for sure.

[@niceandflyy]

How do check for reservations ? In general for any restaurants

I do not know if I will ever go to Disney again but can you imagine a Star Wars character meal? Where you can have breakfast and meet Darth Vader, the Jedis, the Mandalorians and of course, Din and Grogu? I can imagine such a meal featuring frog and spider cupcakes, and all you can eat pink eggs. It would be super popular!

[@georgiablue42]

I used to plan the park days around which good ADR I got. Not the other way around. Now I have mostly dinner for lunch for our next trip, but that means "happy hour" for dinner so that works as well.🍸🍹🍺🥂🥨

[@iam4uk60]

Loved The Cantina! Did it at the the end of the Studio day...fun to walk out when the park was empty and beautifully lit up!

[@josephharvey3653]

I got up early and my first restaurant reservation (attempt) was Oga’s Canteena. No luck. All spots taken. Maybe in a few years, I’ll try again

[@iam4uk60]

@@violetdawn8539 The reservation desk either opened at 6 or 7.... Honestly, my daughter got on line the last time (when I couldn’t get through) and was able to snag Topolino’s Terrace..., last seating at 0930. So try online option too.

[@emilywalczak9256]

it’s so helpful to practice getting a boarding pass for rise of the resistance!! every morning on the way to school my dad and i practiced. we got one first try on the day we were actually going!!

[@SL-vw9pm]

Can you explain how you practiced? I thought you had to have a reservation to even try to get the pass?

[@emilywalczak9256]

@@SL-vw9pm yeah definitely! so basically, we went into the app and refreshed and did everything exactly as you would if you had a reservation. if you "get" the pass in time, it'll say something along the lines of "it doesn't look like you have a pass for today". if you didn't get it in time, you'll get a message saying that they're all gone. it really just helps you get to know the software, and you can practice with and without wifi, with different devices, etc. then you can decide what was fastest, or what worked the best! hope this helped, let me know if you have any more questions!
