If You Can’t get a Reservation, Keep Trying (Disney World Tips – 37 of 365)

If you booked your dining reservation months out when you first booked your trip (or when the 6-month window opened up), you may have been surprised to find that you still couldn’t get every restaurant you wanted.
Unfortunately, that happens sometimes, especially with popular restaurants such as Cinderella’s Castle.
You may have tried for every night during your trip – or maybe you only wanted to go on one night that was a special occasion.
Either way, you may be bummed thinking you’re out of luck.
I want to tell you to not give up.
People cancel their dinner reservations all of the time. Either they’ve changed their minds, or their plans change, etc.
Even the day of or the day before you can still possibly get a reservation if you’re lucky. Just think about all of the situations that could happen. People who have been at Disney for a few days and have had so many big meals, that they don’t want another sit down meal. People who are at Disney, but their kids get sick (or just can’t handle sitting in a restaurant for an hour), and so many other things…
So while I would still have backup plans, if it really means that much to you to eat in a certain restaurant, don’t give up!
