The Secret to Scoring the Best Disney Dining Without all the Stress.

If you’ve ever tried to book dining at Disney, you know it can feel like you’re competing in the Hunger Games—except with more Mickey Waffles and princesses. Dining reservations open at 6:00 AM Eastern Time, 60 days before your trip, and the best spots are gone in minutes.


But here's the thing: you don’t have to do this yourself.


What Happens at 5:45 AM

(If You’re Not Working With Us)

Before the sun rises, guests who want those magical meals are:


  • Setting multiple alarms
  • Refreshing the Disney website over and over
  • Hoping the tech glitches are kind to them
  • Prioritizing which restaurants to try for first — and crossing their fingers


It’s stressful. And honestly? You deserve better.


What Happens When You Book With a Disney Travel Specialist

When you work with a travel agent who specializes in Disney destinations, you can stay in bed. Here’s what we do while you sleep:


  • Build a dining plan around your wish list, schedule, and park plans
  • Log in early and start booking at 5:45 AM (yes, with coffee in hand)
  • Use advanced strategies — we know what to book first and how to find alternate times
  • Troubleshoot in real time if the system crashes or a restaurant disappears


In short: you get the magic, we handle the madness.

Restaurants That Fill Up in Minutes

If these are on your list, you’ll need expert help (or a serious caffeine habit):


  • Cinderella’s Royal Table – Eat in the castle, meet royalty
  • Space 220 – Dine in orbit (sort of)
  • Oga’s Cantina – Star Wars-themed drinks and appetizers in Galaxy’s Edge
  • Be Our Guest – Dine in the Beast’s enchanted castle
  • Akershus Royal Banquet Hall – Princess dining in Epcot’s Norway pavilion


Bonus Tip: Onsite Guests Get an Edge

If you’re staying at a Disney resort, you can book dining for your entire stay (up to 10 days) starting on day 60. That means a huge advantage over offsite guests trying to book one day at a time.

Don’t want to do the math or memorize dates?


We’ve got you.
