Walt Disney World Table Service Dining
This style is just as it seems. Due to the fact that there aren’t as many table service restaurants, reservations are all but required and you’d better jump on making them. Seriously. You can make reservations 180 days in advance of your trip. Set a reminder on your phone now!
