What’s inside
The 6:00 am rule, the 60+10 advantage for resort guests, the $10 no-show fee, and which meals are prepaid — on one page.
Three tiers of restaurants ranked by how fast they disappear, with a Plan B for every hard one.
Princesses, Mickey, fireworks dinners, date night, picky eaters, big groups — matched to the right table.
When cancellations actually drop, the walk-up list trick, lounge back doors, and alert services.
The night-before checklist and the 5:45 am sequence I use for my own clients.
Refurbishments and reopenings as of this month, so nothing on your list is a surprise.
Who’s sending this?
I’m Jered Berge, a Disney vacation planner with Academy Travel in Mansfield, PA. I set a 5:45 alarm on my clients’ 60-day mornings and book their dining for them — this cheat sheet is the same playbook I use. If you’d rather have someone do it for you, my planning doesn’t cost you anything extra over booking direct with Disney.
