It's finally happened! Online dining reservations at Walt Disney World!

Posted 06-16-2009 at 12:20 PM by Mark Goldhaber (Mark My Words)

That's right, Walt Disney World has finally opened up online Advance Dining Reservations (ADRs) to the general public following a successful trial with travel agents. Go to http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/restaurants/ to view all restaurants and make your reservations.

While this is now available, don't expect to grab a prime dinner seating for Le Cellier less than 90 days out (or 90 + 10). The busy restaurants still book up quickly. We're uncertain as of yet what time the booking...

Dining changes coming; ADRs going from 180 to 90 days?

Posted 07-02-2008 at 01:00 AM by Mark Goldhaber (Mark My Words)

Victoria & Albert are childless

Posted 01-05-2008 at 08:22 AM by Mark Goldhaber (Mark My Words)

I see that Victoria & Albert's has implemented a policy barring children under 10 years of age. So far, this has passed without comment after being noted on our MousePad discussion forums. Am I surprised? In a word, no.

At $125 prix fixe (plus tax & tip) per person ($185 with wine pairing, $175/$245 at the Chef's Table) and no children's menu or children's pricing, V&A's is not exactly the most child-friendly dining establishment at the resort. However, apparently a couple of times...
