You know the group's getting hungry when someone suggests hitting a sit-down spot for a chill meal. Everyone's on board, but oops, no reservations were made. Uh-oh!
*Magic Kingdom*
Relax, though, because help is here with eight Disney restaurants perfect for last-minute plans. These spots often have openings and serve up some tasty dishes!
From wherever you are in Disney World, here are some places that often have reservation slots available. No guarantees, but these tend to be our go-to when everything's booked.
**1. Liberty Tree Tavern**
Located in Magic Kingdom, this place offers an all-you-can-eat Thanksgiving-style feast in a late 18th-century setting.
*Thanksgiving Eats from Liberty Tree Tavern*
Think roasted turkey, pot roast, and oven-roasted pork with all the fixings, and don't miss the Ooey Gooey Toffee Cake! Can't find a seat? Try The Diamond Horseshoe for the same menu.
**2. La Crêperie de Paris**
Found in EPCOT's France Pavilion, this hidden gem serves savory galettes and sweet crêpes.
*Banane Crêpe*
The food here is delightful, and you can choose à la carte or a prix fixe menu, which includes soup or salad, a savory galette, a dessert crêpe, and a drink.
**3. Hollywood and Vine**
In Disney’s Hollywood Studios, this character dining offers a buffet with great interactions.
*Hi Pluto!*
Not our all-time favorite for food, but excellent for characters, with tasty options for all diets.
**4. Tusker House**
Located in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, this character dining experience offers fantastic food.
*Our plate at Tusker House*
Great for meeting characters and a delicious meal, it's surprising that it often has available reservations.
**5. Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill**
In Disney Springs, this place modernizes the bar and grill concept with yummy offerings and cocktails.
*Lunch at Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill*
Try the brunch on weekends for a delightful experience.
**6. House of Blues**
Another Disney Springs spot, House of Blues offers comforting Southern food.
*House of Blues Full Spread*
While we prefer Chef Art Smith’s, this place impressed us with its Mac and Cheese and Cajun Chicken Pasta.
**7. Olivia’s Cafe**
At Disney’s Old Key West Resort, this casual eatery serves American fare with a Florida Keys vibe.
*Olivia’s Cafe Brunch Spread*
Brunch here daily is delightful, and it’s often under the radar, making reservations fairly easy.
**8. Trattoria al Forno**
At Disney’s BoardWalk Inn, enjoy some of the best Italian food Disney World has to offer.
*Trattoria al Forno Spread*
With impressive service and a tasty menu, reservations here are usually possible last-minute.
Even without advanced dining reservations, you can still have a great meal at Disney with these options. Plus, the Mobile Walk-Up Waitlist app can snag you a table when available.
