I know a lot of people who go to Disney don’t quite get the concept of making reservations for dining months in advance. How absurd, right? I mean, it’s a theme park, why would I even have to make a reservation to eat at all, let alone months in advance?!
My sister Jessica and her boyfriend Maciej recently took a day trip to the Magic Kingdom. It was pretty spur-of-the-moment, so of course they had nothing planned in advance. She texted me early in the day asking where they should eat dinner that night. I told her that finding anywhere with open availability would be pretty difficult at this point. I eventually suggested she try Trail’s End. That’s a buffet dinner at the Fort Wilderness resort & campgrounds. I figured that was their best bet, as it’s pretty out of the way. You have to leave the Magic Kingdom and board a boat to go across the Seven Seas Lagoon and Bay Lake, and then walk from the dock over to Pioneer Hall to get to the restaurant. But to be safe, I told Jess to go to Guest Services before they left the Magic Kingdom, to ask if there was any availability. It turns out there was – at 9:30pm.
That’s why we book restaurants early.
This is where we’re going!!!
Yup yup. I was hoping they’d be able to give me an advance review of it. 😛
