New Disney App Updates: Snagging That Bucket-List Reservation Just Got WAY Easier

Listen up, fellas — if you’ve ever spent more time than you’d like to admit refreshing the My Disney Experience app hoping for a last-minute ‘Ohana spot to magically open up, you’re gonna love this.

Disney just dropped some chef’s kiss updates to the Disneyland and My Disney Experience apps that make booking dining reservations smoother than a Dole Whip on a hot day. Whether you’re a Type-A trip planner with a color-coded spreadsheet, or you’re just there to vibe and eat good food, these new tools are going to level up your Disney dining game.

🎯 For the Bucket-List Chasers

Got your heart set on snagging a seat at Space 220 or Cinderella’s Royal Table? Now you can view ALL available dates for one restaurant in a handy calendar format. Green dots mean go, my dude. It’s perfect for planning that dream meal — and yes, character dining spots are clearly labeled with a Mickey icon, so you won’t accidentally book a royal brunch when you were just craving waffles.

📅 For the Hardcore Planners

You spreadsheet warriors — Disney sees you. You can now search for ALL available dining locations over a range of dates, not just one day or one spot. Plus, there’s a custom time slider, so if you’re building your entire day around that 7:15 p.m. steak, you’re golden.

🍔 For the Go-With-The-Flow Crew

Just wingin’ it? You can now join walk-up lists or order to-go from select Disney World table service spots directly in the app. It even lets you filter by park, resort area, Disney Dining Plan credits, and more. Pro tip: if a location has a cool new media gallery, you’ll see a glowing ring around the photo — click it for vibes and menu peeks.

🔥 Bonus Info

• Disneyland dining reservations open 60 days out.
• Disney World Resort guests? You get 60 days + your full stay (up to 10 nights).

So whether you’re planning every bite in advance or letting your stomach lead the way, these updates make it easier than ever to eat like a king — or at least like Gaston on a cheat day.
