Special Dining Needs at Disney: No Advanced Dinner Reservations, No Worries

10848616_10207315787440318_9105549380430915917_oWhen you’re planning a Disney vacation, the most frequent tip given is to make your reservations at the earliest opportunity, which in most cases is 180 days in advance.  This is the most shared tip whether you have food allergies or not.  If you have some restaurants in mind that you want to go to, then you need to make your advanced dining reservations.  What happens though when you think you’ve made all the dining reservations you want but you’re walking around the park and smell some delicious aroma wafting out the doors of one of the restaurants and you don’t have any reservations?  Fear not!  You may still be able to eat there without a reservation!

Not only is it a relaxing and shaded walkway, but it also gives you an up-close view of every animal and creature. Every time I have been there, I find other creatures I never saw before. It is hard to believe each leaf, twig, etc was meticulously hand crafted to become the icon of Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Read more
