It might even be beneficial to check with the restaurant around lunch time just to get your name on the reservation list.

A majority of the park guests have already eating and we are able to score a reservation a little easier. We will opt for a 10:30 breakfast meal or a 2pm lunch reservation. One technique I like to employ is scheduling a meal during ‘off-hours’. Try to keep your park day reservations flexible. That included waiting with a hungry 11 month old and 4-year-old! Being able to keep ourselves busy in the parks was the thing that would have made it bearable.

While we would have loved to walk right in at the exact time we wanted, that didn’t seem like it would have been too crazy of a wait for us. This was a nice perk as we didn’t have to sit around in the lobby area and waste valuable park time. The wait was going to be an hour and they were going to let us know via a text to our phones. For example, last time we were at the Magic Kingdom we inquired about moving our Skipper Canteen reservation to a different time. Even if you waited until right around lunch time the day you are in the park, you will still be able to most likely get a seat for that meal, especially at the above listed places in the Magic Kingdom.
