These enhancements build on existing guest-favorite features, ensuring a more seamless and intuitive experience for everyone. Here’s a breakdown of the exciting new functionalities:

For the “Bucket-List” Dining Spot: Find Your Dream Reservation

Have that one specific restaurant you absolutely must visit, like Cinderella’s Royal Table or Space 220? The apps now make it incredibly easy to see all dates with available reservation timeslots at any individual restaurant on a handy calendar. Simply select your desired dining location and party size, and a calendar view will pop up, indicating available dates with a green dot. This allows you to plan your entire vacation around that elusive reservation. For Character Dining experiences, look for the clear Mickey icon and label on available reservation times.

For the “Plan Every Detail in Advance” Family: Master Your Itinerary

If you’re the type who lives by a minute-by-minute itinerary, these updates are for you! The expanded search functionality now allows you to view availability for ALL dining locations across a date range, rather than just one location. Use the tabs at the top to navigate through different dates within your search.

Disney has also refined the time range search. Instead of broad “breakfast,” “lunch,” or “dinner” categories, a new custom time slider lets you target exact dining times, allowing you to narrow your search down to the hour, ensuring your meals fit perfectly into your meticulously planned day.

Remember: Disneyland Resort guests can book dining reservations up to 60 days in advance. Walt Disney World Resort hotel guests enjoy a perk, booking 60 days in advance for their entire length of stay (up to a 10-night stay).

For the “Go-With-The-Flow” Group: Spontaneous Dining Made Easy

For those who prefer a more spontaneous approach, letting pixie dust guide their day, the apps now offer enhanced flexibility. When searching for same-day dining reservations at Walt Disney World, you can easily join a walk-up list or place a mobile order at select table service locations that offer these options.

Improved sorting and filtering mean you can quickly narrow down options by theme park and nearby resort areas, or filter specifically by Disney Springs at Walt Disney World or Downtown Disney District at Disneyland. For guests utilizing the Disney Dining Plan at Walt Disney World, there’s even a convenient filter to show locations that accept credits and how many you’ll need.

Cool new feature alert for Walt Disney World guests: Get a visual sneak peek of the restaurant’s ambiance and menu options with the new media gallery! Look for the ring around a location’s thumbnail photo to open the gallery.

Whether you’re celebrating the Disneyland Resort 70th Celebration or enjoying all the fun of Cool Kid Summer at Walt Disney World, these app updates make it easier than ever to tailor your dining experience to your family’s unique style. Stay in-the-know with Disney Eats for the latest culinary news, and be sure to download the Disneyland app or My Disney Experience app when you’re ready to plan your next magical meal!
