    Hiya guys, quick question do you all book your meals???
    we are staying in akl and i have been on thedibb and everyone is booking meals but how do you know what your gonna feel like??

    will i be able to book when out there or walk in place? (June 09 6 adults) - > not long!!
    i wouldnt worry too much we just got back 2 days ago and were able to pretty much get to eat where ever we wanted, might have to wait for a few minutes, but you should be ok. be warned its not cheap to eat at disney world, as we found out, we should have taken the disney dining plan option, but eat according to you budget. have fun, we did!

    When we last went we hired with auto-europe and the whole service was very good.
    This time, however, netflights have the same car £80 cheaper, so I emailed auto-europe and they knocked £81 off their price.

    They are talking about what is know as ADRs or Advance Dining Reservations and these are for Disney resturants in the parks or hotels.

    for some of them yes you would probably need to book These would be places like Le Celier Steakhouse (probably my fav on all Disney world) which is in Canada in Epcot, or the Califonian Grill at the Comtempory but these places are expensive.

    For your every day Olive Garden, Mannys, Carabbas, Outback etc you can walk in and wait. Some of these places like Carrabbas and Mannys do what is know as call ahead seating so on the day you want to go, call them atl like 4p,m and you can ell them you are in at say 6 and they bump you up the wait list.

    Also you sometimes need to book Character meals etc at Disney. The best thing really is to work out where you fancy eating so maybe you want two character meals and maybe a nice dinner at a Dusney place and then book those on 001 407 WDW DINE (939 3464) and play the rest by ear.

    Also there is nothing at all wrong with popping into the place you want to eat and ask.

    We've just got back. We had the same issue as you. We ended up buying a 'Magic Your Way Base' ticket from Walmart. Cost approx £150 for a 7 day pass. Basically, it's 7 separate visits within a 14 day period and only one park per day. So, for example, you could do Magic Kingdom on Monday, Epcot on Tuesday and then have a few days off before doing the Studios on Friday... therefore using three of your seven days. This ticket doesn't allow park hopping, ie you can't go from Epcot to Magic Kingdom on the same day but this option can be added for, if I recall correctly, $50 per ticket. It also doesnt cover the water parks...

    Hi Weggy

    Can you please confirm did you but the tickets inside Walmart or from a stall outside as this is what we are looking for as well

    cheers

    Ive already booked for us to go to Disney in December, but ive noticed that Virgin/Disney are now offering free Didney dining if you book now - do you think its worth ringing them now and asking if i can have/qualify for this offer?
