Earlier this week, guests were thrilled by the sudden surge of dining reservation availability on My Disney Experience. However, the site quickly went down due to technical issues.
If you were able to book a dining reservation during that time, Walt Disney World will be cancelling reservations that are overbooked due to social-distancing guidelines. Guests affected will receive a $25 Disney digital gift card for the inconvenience.
While the expanded availability was initially attributed to increased capacity, Walt Disney World issued a statement clarifying that they have NOT increased capacity at their table service restaurants.
Stay tuned for more updates on the status of dining reservations and more as the phased reopening of Walt Disney World continues.
