How to Use This Guide
When planning your trip, decide which days make sense for a sit-down meal and choose one must-do table-service option per day. For fireworks views, try La Hacienda de San Angel at EPCOT or book a dinner that finishes right before the show. For immersive theming, Space 220, Skipper Canteen, and Storybook Dining at Artist Point are standouts. And if characters are a priority, head straight to the Character Dining section above.
Pro Tip: Popular reservations go fast. Set alerts, check for same-day cancellations, and use mobile check-in when available.
