Questions about "Priority seating"

Milo · 03-16-2005

Does it cost extra?

How does it work?

How do you get it?

How far in advanced can you get it?

Thanks

Priority seating does not cost extra. You don't even need to be a resort guest to use this. You can call and book a spot for a table at any resturant. It is not a reservation. It simply puts you up for the next available table after you check in. You can call up to 90 days ahead of time. The recommend you do this for any resturant that you would like to eat at. The number to call is 1-407-WDW-DINE (939-3463). Good luck and happy eating!

Thank you very much.

Now for the task of picking a place to eat :) any recomendations? Budget is tight.

I'm not positive on prices. I purchase the meal plan and didn't really look at them when I made my PS's. Maybe someone else might have some suggestions for you?

Are you looking for character dining or regular? What kind of food to you like? One important thing to remember is that if your budget is tight you can get buy on counter service meal where no PS is needed. Also portions are large at most places so sharing is a possibility.

If you are looking at Hoop De Doo/CRT you need to call Asap. or they may not have room for you.

www.allearsnet.com has menus for 99.9% of the resturaunts in Disney. I would HIGHLY recomend making PS's for any resturaunt in WDW that you want to eat at. I have heard so many "newbies" that said that the PS's really made their trips. Keep in mind the PS's don't require you to show up, and there is no penalty for not showing.

Thanks, I will go check them out.

But I am far from being a "newbie" to WDW. From the time I was born till 1997 we would go 3-4 times a year. :)

Havent been since '97 cuz we moved. :(

A nice spot to have lunch in MGM is ABC Commissionary...fast food, but good. No PS required and it's definately not going to kill your budget. If you are looking for a sit down meal at MGM for dinner, definately go to Hollywood and Vine's dinner buffet. Very good food with an excellent selection all for a fair price. 4 parks in one day? whew! You are going to be bushed. Definately not worry about sit down meals if you are going tour WDW hard core like that. It will be tough to run all the parks and stop to eat. I would just grab counter service when you get hungry. There are some great alternatives now to Burgers and fries.

Sorry to think you were. A lot of the newer people to DC as of late have never been to WDW, and are interested in learning all the great tips about how to tour the place. Sorry that I assumed.
