Disney World dining reservation alerts: how they work
What a Disney World dining reservation alert is, how it finds openings without your Disney password, how often it checks, and what it costs.
The short answer
A Disney World dining reservation alert watches a restaurant's availability for your party size and dates and tells you the moment a table opens, so you can book it before someone else does. Wishweaver checks Disney's public availability every 5 minutes, sends the alert by email and phone with a link to Disney's booking page, and never needs your Disney password. Watches are free to start, and with Book It our team can book the table for you.
How it works
You choose one or more restaurants, your dates (one, several or a range), your party size and a meal or time window. We check Disney's public dining availability for exactly that every 5 minutes and alert you once per opening, with the time that opened.
Alerts link to Disney's own reservation page and you book in your own account, usually in under a minute. Your Disney password is never needed.
Booking it for you
Wishweaver can also book it for you: with Book It on, our team books the opening the moment it appears and it shows up in your My Disney Experience. It costs $10 per dining reservation (any party size) or $12 per child for the Boutique, charged only once Disney confirms it.
What it costs
Starting a watch is free. Paid passes add more watches and faster checks on everything except dining. Book It is pay per booking, charged only when Disney confirms. Every watcher's last check is public on our status page.
