Who Has Had Success With Walkup Priority Seating?

mriley5298 · 11-20-2004

We just decided a couple of weeks ago that we are going to Disney World from 12/4 through 12/11! Of course there is little available when I have called for some priority seatings. We are not going to stress about it. Our plan is to go late for breakfast and early for dinner. We have been to Disney so many times that we won't be too upset if we don't get some of the hot ticket meals (Chef Mickey's, CRT, Cinderella's Galla Feast, Princess Storybook Breakfast). But my 5 year old niece will be going, and she hasn't done a lot of those meals.

I'm sure that they must save a certain amount of seats for walkups, right? Has anyone had any success with walking up and not waiting too long for a table? I'm not sure that we will be that lucky, since there are 8 of us in the party. I don't mind if we even have to split up the party as 4 and 4, and meet up later.

I would think that if you go at off times (like you plan to) you will have better luck. We have had some luck at places like the Sci-Fi Dine In and Whispering Canyon that way.

It is my understanding that there are no seats saved for walk ups, however, people don't show for PSs all the time. You may have some luck just walking up going at off times and picking some of the less popular places. Have fun!!

if your staying at resort on the property ask if you can make some PS's when you check in....correct me if im wrong but i think that they always save some PS for resort guest

We often wait till the last minute to decide where to eat. We have done walk ups and waited very little time and sometimes a long time. I suppose it depends on the time and restaurant.
