Disney Dining Alerts

Scoring a reservation at Be Our Guest, Space 220, or Cinderella's Royal Table can feel impossible — spots fill up the moment the booking window opens, and cancellations appear randomly. Disney Dining Alerts keep watching these restaurants for you and email you when an opening is reported, so you can book it before it's gone.

How It Works

1. You set up an alert — pick a restaurant, date, meal period, party size, and who to notify.
2. JourneyFuse rechecks it through the day — each restaurant, date and party size is searched on a rolling queue, usually every ten minutes or so.
3. You get an email when an opening is confirmed — the alert fires, you (or your client) book it on Disney's site.
4. The alert deactivates — no spam. One notification per find. Reactivate it from the Dining Alerts page if you need to keep watching.

Supported Restaurants

Alerts currently cover Walt Disney World table-service restaurants: Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, Animal Kingdom, Disney Springs, and the resort hotels, including hard-to-book favorites like Be Our Guest, Cinderella's Royal Table, Space 220, Oga's Cantina, Topolino's Terrace, and 'Ohana.

Disneyland Resort monitoring is paused. We are not able to confirm Disneyland availability right now, so those restaurants are not offered in the alert form. Saved Disneyland alerts are preserved.

Two limits are worth knowing before you set one up. The date has to fall within the next 60 days, which is the furthest ahead Disney will answer for, and the party size has to be 1 to 20 guests. If you don't see a restaurant you're expecting, let us know.

Creating an Alert

Open Dining Alerts in the sidebar under Tools, then click New Alert. You can also reach it from the Dining Alerts card on Disney HQ, or from the Dining Alerts tab on a Disney trip, which links the alert to that trip.

1. Pick a restaurant — restaurants are grouped by park and resort area for easy browsing.
2. Set the date — must be in the future and within the next 60 days.
3. Select a meal period — Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, or Any (checks all three).
4. Party size — 1 to 20 guests.
5. Time window (optional) — narrow the search to a specific window like 5:00 PM - 8:00 PM.
6. Notification email — who should get the alert. Can be your email or a client's.

Click Create Alert and you're monitoring.

Managing Alerts

From the Dining Alerts page, you can:

• Filter by status — All, Active, Reported openings, or Expired.
• Cancel an alert you no longer need.
• Reactivate an alert that already fired, or one you cancelled, to keep watching.
• Edit the date, meal period, party size, or time window.

Alert Statuses

Notification Emails

When availability is found, the notification email includes:

• Restaurant name and location
• Date, meal period, and party size
• A direct Book Now link to Disney's dining reservation page
• A reminder that the alert has been deactivated (reactivate from your dashboard if needed)

Emails use your agency's branding — your logo, colors, and name appear on the notification, not JourneyFuse.

Tips

• Set alerts as soon as the date is within 60 days — that is the first day Disney will answer for it, and the day the best cancellations tend to appear.
• Use the "Any" meal period — this checks breakfast, lunch, and dinner, tripling your chances.
• Skip the time window — unless your client is very picky about dining times, leave this open for the best odds.
• Alert your client directly — put their email in the notification field so they can book immediately without waiting for you to forward it.
• Reactivate after booking — if you want a backup reservation or a better time, reactivate the alert to keep watching.

Limits

• Up to 50 active alerts per workspace.
• Walt Disney World only, for dates within the next 60 days, for 1 to 20 guests.
• Alerts auto-expire when the date passes.
• Always confirm the reservation with Disney. An alert points you at an opening, it does not hold one.
